Symantec is sponsoring a series of Cyber Readiness Challenge events to help organizations better understand cybercriminals, and improve businesses’ ability to defend against today’s threats. Symantec has hosted games in Toronto and Irvine, California, and on January 29, 2013, we brought the challenge to Dallas where underneath the Apollo 7 spacecraft and a Sopwith "pup" more than 100 people gathered to play and watch the competition unfold at the Frontiers of Flight Museum. The Symantec Cyber Readiness Challenge is a technical competition that pits users against each other, according to level of technical ability, in a capture-the-flag style environment, to perform a series of tasks attacking and defending...

There has been a data explosion within security teams, as organisations everywhere seek to increase their effectiveness in preventing breaches of defences through improved correlation and data sharing. You have probably seen this happening within your own working environment, too.

In the quest to achieve this sought-after level of ‘good enough’ security, the findings of new research from the Enterprise Strategy Group, ‘Big Data Intersection with Security Analytics’, partially sponsored by Symantec, are encouraging.

You won’t be too surprised to hear that, in our ‘Big Data’ world, we are collecting a lot more data than we used to two years ago. There is only one direction in which that arrow is going to be pointing from now on. What is interesting here, though, is that lots of people are vested in this information to do their job – and that is likely to envelop even more people, across a wide range of roles over the next...

Today i had a strange problem regarding a HP Software installation. The client had Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 installed.

The windows event log had the following entry:

SYMANTEC TAMPER PROTECTION ALERT 
Target: C:Program FilesSymantecSymantec Endpoint Protection12.1.671.4971.105BinccSvcHst.exe 
Event Info: Open Process 
ActionTaken: Blocked 
Actor Process: C:HP_LJM2727_FULL_SOLUTION_AM_EMEA1SETUPHPZSHL01.EXE (PID 4192) 
Time: Sonntag, 11. März 2012 16:47:26 

So the Tamper protection blocked the installation of the HP software.

To fix this you can adapt the 'Exeception Policy' and add an entry for the installation folder of the HP Software. Another way would be to disable tamper protection till the installation is done (remember to update the policy or wait for the policy to be updated)
