As privateers and nation-state perpetrators continue to successfully probe US cyber defenses, they effectively penetrated the agriculture industry last week. The cyber attackers have mostly ignored any warnings from the US government stating that the critical infrastructure is off limits. Organizations in the US and Europe need to re-assess their strategy for how they do business
Each year we see businesses totally unready for a cyberattack. And in 2021 assessments, we see businesses using unvetted, non-compliant and non-certified companies in their enterprise offices and datacenters.
The cyber war between nations is not just to steal PII, PFI, and PHI for profit, but with nation states and their privateers, it is to penetrate the critical infrastructure of their opposition. It is to gather intelligence and to have a process in place to sabotage essential functions of a nation from financial, to healthcare, and to communications.
What if your vendor is your number one Insider Threat through negligence or purposeful act? What do you do to guarantee that your service providers are complying with federal, state and industry cybersecurity regulations?
SMEs from the Ponemon Institute to the major cyber majority watch groups that the root cause of a data breach is from the Insider Threat. The inside threat to your data is those non-compliant employees, technicians, and third party vendors that you have agreed to letting them have access to your daily regularly. ISO and NIST certified TechR2 products and services expertly combat the Insider Threat.
After all the cybersecurity work some organizations do, they still fall to breaches in their defense for lack of a forward-looking strategy. For all the OEMs reporting major breaches, the Zero Trust Security Model (ZTSM) and a revamping of their strategy need to take high priority. We have stated how OEMs, financial, and healthcare institutions are today giving their data filled products to non-compliant recyclers where the OEM tries to recover 5 cents on a dollar in selling the device that still can have data on it.
An organization’s data-bearing devices, and the data contained thereon, are under constant attack. The result had been significant daily data breaches – literally. Just this past year, an 88% increase in business security threats or incidents has been reported.
An organization’s information is the lifeblood of its business and must be protected at all costs. Rarely does a day go by without a major data breach hitting the headlines – Target, JP Morgan Chase, Equifax, Facebook – the list grows daily. The ramifications of a data breach are devastating, and many times will put a company out of business altogether.
Unsecured Physical Security of Data Bearing Devices (DBDs) that hold thousands to millions of protected records for Health information (PHI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), or Sensitive Personal Information (SPI) leaves many companies non-compliant.
