With the growing threat of cyber attacks, businesses are placing more of an emphasis on cybersecurity planning within their executive teams, integrating holistic incident response plans, and embracing new technology.
None of the candidate encryption algorithms to counter the threat of quantum computing are intended for the massive amounts of sensitive data stored “at rest”. Instead they are intended to replace those currently used for: (1) data in transit over the public internet; and (2) digital signatures used for authentication.
With so much of our lives documented online and on social media, it can be hard to decipher what is and isn’t a security threat. Securing your digital footprint takes vigilance and persistence and in an increasingly digitally-reliant world, safeguarding the profiles of you and your loved ones has never been more imperative.
Quantum computing now has the potential to capture nearly $700 billion in value as early as 2035. NIST is encouraging U.S. government entities and commercial enterprises to move forward more quickly towards post-quantum cryptography since data is getting harvested today for future decryption.
Organizations can implement an insider threat solution with good intentions and all in the interest of heightening security posture. But improper implementation can cause the loss of an employee’s drive just as quickly as a potential nefarious opportunity that outweighs the cost.
Vendor impersonation attack is making the rounds, and what’s new is that the brands and reputations of cybersecurity providers are being leveraged as part of these attacks, where the ultimate goal is to deposit malware into your production environment.

Cybercriminals are using social engineering to target company employees on social media, which remains a weak point even if a company takes every precaution necessary to protect in-house information.
Given that compromised credentials are a leading cause of cyber attacks, many cyber insurance underwriters are looking for robust privileged access management (PAM) and multifactor authentication (MFA) controls before pricing out their policies.
Organizations must elevate their data management and privacy regulations to adhere to governance policies, which will align with privacy laws. This will enable the proper management and storage of personal data and avoid some of the ongoing privacy issues faced today.
