<p>ATLANTA&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;Dell SecureWorks, an industry   leader in information security services, is expanding its incident    response (IR) services to counter the growing severity and frequency       of breaches. Many organizations aren’t equipped internally to plan for       and respond to today’s increasingly sophisticated, targeted threats from       cybercriminals, hackers and nation states. Dell SecureWorks’ highly       skilled responders and digital       forensic experts can be rapidly activated to contain, eradicate and    remediate security breaches.</p>
<p>Led by Col. (Retired) Jeff Schilling, former director of the Army&#8217;s       Global Network Operations and Security Center (AGNOSC) under the U.S.       Army Cyber Command, Dell SecureWorks’ IR team leverages global       intelligence from the company’s Counter Threat Unit™ (CTU) and Security       Operations Centers (SOCs) to resolve complex, large-scale and highly       sophisticated threats.</p>
<p>Dell SecureWorks’ security solutions help organizations stay abreast of       emerging threats, proactively fortify defenses, continuously detect and       stop cyber-attacks, and recover quickly from security breaches. The       expanded IR service portfolio includes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Advanced         Threat Preparedness Assessment service assesses organizations’         capabilities to resist, detect and respond to an attack by an Advanced         Threat actor. The detailed review evaluates Organizational         Intelligence Capabilities, Policy and Documentation, Technical         Capabilities, and Personnel Management.</li>
<li>Denial         of Service (DoS) Preparedness Assessment services will help         organizations understand their abilities to withstand Denial of         Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and         are designed to ensure they have a tested response methodology in         place. The services include capabilities reviews, tabletop exercises         and DoS/DDoS stress testing under real-world conditions.</li>
<li>        Advanced Threat Tabletop Exercises evaluate an organization’s ability         to respond to a targeted attack. Tabletop exercises incorporate         intelligence on the Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) of         targeted actors such as cybercriminals, “hacktivists” and         nation-states to heighten operational learning. These exercises ensure         IT incident response teams practice documented response procedures,         and highlight gaps or issues with their Computer         Security Incident Response Plan (CSIRP).</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Threat Intelligence is an Integral Part of Incident Response</b></p>
<p>The CTU comprises some of the most highly regarded security researchers       in the world with diverse experience and backgrounds in the private       security, military and intelligence communities. With a global view of       the threat environment of thousands of customers, the CTU actively       monitors the cyber threat landscape and performs in-depth analysis of       emerging threats and zero-day vulnerabilities.</p>
<p>The CTU is currently tracking the following threat indicators:</p>
<ul>
<li>        2,200-plus Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) domains</li>
<li>        23,800-plus APT Command and Control (C2) sub-domains</li>
<li>        1,300-plus hardcoded APT C2 IPs</li>
<li>        More than 300 APT malware families</li>
</ul>
<p>Dell SecureWorks’ IR team leverages the CTU’s broad and deep global view       of threat indicators during on-site engagements. Armed with the latest       intelligence, responders can eradicate threats with surgical precision.</p>
<p><b>Quotes:</b></p>
<p>“It’s nearly impossible for most organizations to completely resolve a       security breach on their own. It requires expertly trained and       experienced personnel with deep insight into threat actors and their       tradecraft. Using insights gained from the Dell SecureWorks CTU, SOC and       IR teams, our responders can quickly and fully eradicate threats.”</p>
<p><b>&#8211;Jeff Schilling, Director of the Incident Response Practice at Dell       SecureWorks</b></p>
<p>“Companies have been increasingly seeking our Incident Response       expertise because of our unified security capabilities, said Kevin       Hanes, executive director of Security and Risk Consulting at Dell       SecureWorks. “Our responders have access to intelligence before their       boots even hit the ground so they can help organizations recover quickly       from security breaches.”</p>
<p><b>&#8211;Kevin Hanes, Executive Director of Security and Risk Consulting at    Dell SecureWorks</b></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Indiana Business Bancorp Reports Results of Operations for the       Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2012</b></p>
<p>INDIANAPOLIS&#8211;(<a itemprop="url" href="http://www.businesswire.com/">BUSINESS WIRE</a>)&#8211;Indiana Business Bancorp (OTCBB: IBBI), the holding company for Indiana       Business Bank, announced results for the quarter and year ended December       31, 2012.</p>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<blockquote><p>“Our staff is pleased that       2012 results improved upon a strong 2011 performance. Although most in       our industry are fighting shrinking net interest margins, our ability to       maintain yield and decrease our cost of funds, allows us to maintain a       margin that was better than most of our peers.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The company recorded a profit of $340,724 or $.23 per share and $862,085       or $.57 per share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2012. Net       income includes recognition of a tax benefit in the amount of $100,000       for the quarter and $250,000 for the year from the carryover of net       operating losses. Pre-tax profit was $240,724 and $612,085 for the       quarter and year ended December 31, 2012. Pre-tax performance for the       2012 periods reflects improvements of 18.5% and 11.5% over the year       earlier periods, respectively.</p>
<p>The improvement in profits for the year is due primarily to lower credit       costs and increased net interest income. The net interest margin       improved from 4.04% in 2011 to 4.65% in 2012, despite a lower level of       earning assets, due to a 40 basis point reduction in the cost of funds       and a 20 basis point improvement in the yield on earning assets.</p>
<p>Non-interest income for the year was $408,964, compared to $555,177 in       2011. The difference is almost completely attributed to the variance in       gains recorded from the sale of Small Business Administration (SBA)       loans. In 2011, the company reported substantial gains from the sale of       two large loans from a single borrower. Gains on sale of SBA loans       totaled $293,718 in 2012 and $440,876 in 2011.</p>
<p>Non-interest expense (generally salaries and other operating expenses)       increased by 3% compared to the previous year. The increase is due to       higher salary levels reflecting annual merit increases and the higher       cost of employee benefits. The majority of remaining expense categories       were flat or below 2011 levels.</p>
<p>The provision for loan loss declined from $515,000 during 2011 to       $278,000 during 2012. The reduced provision expense for the year       reflects the improved credit profile of the loan portfolio and lower       loan balances. At December 31, 2012, the allowance for loan losses was       $1,210,763, which represented 2.35% of total loans.</p>
<p>Non-accrual loans, Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) and renegotiated loans       totaled $4,851,280 at December 31, 2012, which reflected a 17% reduction       from December 31, 2011. Non-performing assets, which consist of       non-accrual loans, OREO, and loans past due more than 90 days were       $2,018,135 at year end, which reflected a 46% reduction from the prior       year.</p>
<p>All of the Bank’s capital ratios substantially exceeded the amounts       needed to be considered “well capitalized” at December 31, 2012.</p>
<p>President and CEO, James S. Young stated, “Our staff is pleased that       2012 results improved upon a strong 2011 performance. Although most in       our industry are fighting shrinking net interest margins, our ability to       maintain yield and decrease our cost of funds, allows us to maintain a       margin that was better than most of our peers.” Young added, “We will       continue to work toward achieving improvements in the credit risk aspect       of our business by working with borrowers. We believe 2013 will be       challenging but expect, and have planned for, quality growth throughout       the year.”</p>
