ISMG Announces Launch of 2014 Targeted Attacks Study

Princeton, NJ, December 22, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Information Security Media Group (ISMG) announces the launch of the 2014 Targeted Attacks Study.

Advanced threats are increasingly sophisticated, and employees at all levels, in all industry sectors, are subject to targeted attacks ranging from spear-phishing to blended threats. How prepared is your organization to detect these advanced threats and respond effectively to targeted attacks - before irreparable damage is done?

This survey, sponsored by Proofpoint, aims to answer those questions. Take the 2014 Targeted Attacks Study to help determine:

-The extent of damage caused by targeted attacks;
-Where organizations are most and least prepared to mitigate advanced threats;
-Top technology investments for 2014.

Survey results will be presented in a variety of ways across Information Security Media Group, including an executive summary, annotated report and a webinar presentation.
