Nashville, Tennessee (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- Today Kroll released "Cyber Security and Investigations: Looking Beyond the Headlines to Effectively Safeguard Data," a Special Report covering some of the major challenges currently facing individuals, businesses and government bodies when it comes to protecting their data. One of several special reports from Kroll, this volume features a collection of articles composed by highly experienced Kroll cyber experts in data breach investigations and prevention, offering practical tips for bolstering safeguards across often overlooked areas of data security.

The report features five concise articles designed to help organizations balance the need to protect sensitive electronic data with the ability to share information and to respond effectively should something go wrong. They include:

  • "Ideology-driven hacking presages difficult-to-fight data attacks" explores the emergence of a new breed of hackers—data destroyers.
