We have been hearing about the “convergence” of physical and cyber security for years, but even today there are still debates about whether it has happened yet (spoiler alert: it hasn’t). Part of the challenge might be that the word convergence itself can apply to more than one kind of activity – for example, some believe it applies to the linkages or integration of IT and security systems, while others believe it applies to IT and security organizational structures and teams.
U.S. Senators Roy Blunt and Brian Schatz, members of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, introduced the Commercial Facial Recognition Privacy Act of 2019.
Are we asking enough questions about cloud security for organizations to make informed risk management decisions? With cyber threats evolving, cloud servers are a major target and more than 80 percent of organizations store their information in the public cloud, according to Rightscale’s 2018 State of the Cloud Report. This begs the question of cloud security.
This series of storage solutions allows businesses to scale, access and archive data at petabyte volumes, which is ideal for backup/archiving, media editing, video surveillance, virtual environments, content delivery and more.
When the Department of Homeland Security purposefully dropped data disks and USB flash drives in the parking lots of federal agencies and government contractors, 60 percent of the found objects were inserted into an agency or contractor network.
Managing data or private clouds on-site can be more convenient, but also more dangerous – physical hazards such as natural disasters or fire can leave data storage facilities beyond recovery, losing terabytes of precious data.
