Steve Grewal, Cohesity Federal CTO and former U.S. Department of Education CISO/CTO/CIO, shares his insights into how organizations can leverage modern data management strategies and technologies to ensure they are prepared to reduce the impact of ransomware attacks while being ready for audit and reporting processes to remain compliant with increasing state-by-state regulations.
To streamline the security infrastructure, the non-profit organization turned to a unified cloud platform that would integrate with its existing technologies and allow for scalability and future growth.
In this article we will delve further into the many risks to today’s digital identity solutions. We will also review the benefits of alternatives to passwordless authentication solutions using biometrics, and ultimately where the future of identity security could be heading long-term.
While this is a step in the right direction, there are some confusion, speculation and rumors related to CMMC accreditation. The following are three common misconceptions around CMMC certification, with clarification to help organizations requiring CMMC certification to stay well-informed on the necessary guidelines and procedures.
Because cybersecurity events are complicated, we rely on analogies to understand how they work. Analogies are useful, but certain oversimplifications are perpetuating inaccurate narratives. These inaccuracies misdirect productive discussion and as a result, proposed policy and solutions are being based on faulty assumptions. A faulty premise can only yield flawed results…and cyber national security is not an area in which the United States has margin for error.
How often do you consider gravity? And the power of this invisible force to move oceans, hold planets in orbit, and quite literally, keep us all grounded. Now, how about women in technology? Another force of nature that, I think, deserves more visibility and recognition. Men haven’t cornered the market on technological genius, innovation, and invention. But too often, women have had to work all the harder not only to prove that fact, but also to be equally recognized for their extraordinary contributions.
I dare to say this: “companies need to stop playing the game of pin the blame on the developer whenever a security vulnerability is discovered or exploited in applications.” Rather than pointing fingers at developers, organizations need to empower these professionals to help them build and expand their cloud-based initiatives without having to worry about security.
