2022-12-15 11:00:00 | Dark Data: What is it? How can you best utilize it? (lien direct) | The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. Data continues to be a valuable asset for an organization and plays a crucial role in making operational and strategic business decisions. With the growth of hybrid, private, and multi-cloud models, much of the data is stored on these platforms and becomes vulnerable to malicious activities and potential data leaks. Amid the vast volume of data, some of the data remains unknown, untapped, and unused with an organization's architecture. This dark data is generated by users' daily online interactions between several devices and systems. Dark data might seem like a scary term, but it isn't, though it poses some risks. Since its percentage of data is rising more quickly than organizational data, business organizations are getting concerned about it. Hence, to grasp what dark data is and what issues it signifies, it's essential to understand it from a broader perspective. What Is dark data? Dark data is the type of organizational data whose value is not identified; hence, it can be crucial business data or useless data. A research report published by BigID reveals that 84% of organizations are seriously concerned about dark data. This data consists of the additional information collected and stored during daily business activities. But perhaps to your surprise, the organization may be unaware of the dark data and typically doesn't use it. Dark data tends to be unstructured data that contains sensitive and unclassified information. The research report further reveals that eight out of ten organizations consider unstructured data the most critical to handle and secure. Dark data can be classified as follows: Emails, images, audio, video, and social media posts. Application trials including API caches and encryption keys such as VPN or SSH support. Data stored in overlooked virtual images activated or installed in local or cloud infrastructure. Forgotten unstructured data created on various database engines a long time ago. Customers and the company's employees own data on the desktop and mobile devices. The hidden data file in a file system can be in the form of old pictures, scanned documents, pdf forms, notes on MS Word documents, and signed files. Dark data might seem benign, but it holds most of the organization's information. Thus, it can pose significant security risks if it falls into the wrong hands, like leaking a company's sensitive data and damaging its industry reputation. This is particularly alarming for organisations that do not use a reliable VPN or any other security tools to ensure data privacy and safety. How can you utilize dark data to help your business? Dark data seems challenging to handle and involves lengthy manual processes, but companies need to automate these processes. Technological advancements such as the use of AI have made it easier for companies to explore and process unstructured data. Another important use of dark data is its role in boosting AI-powered solutions. As more and more data exists, the information that AI can analyse to produce even deeper insights. Alongside Artificial Intelligence, you can also use Machine Learning technology to discover untapped and unused data and insights. These insights might help organizations make more informed decisions regarding incoming data. Also, it guides them toward taking practical steps in response to their data. Implementing AI and ML systems needs internal structural changes for businesses, costing organizations a great deal of time and money. H | Data Breach Threat Guideline Prediction | ★★★ | |

2022-11-03 10:00:00 | Minimizing security concerns of ESOPs (lien direct) | The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. Retirement plans are an easily overlooked but often critical cybersecurity concern. Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs), while less common than others, may face particular risks. ESOPs can provide a valuable way to foster employee engagement and reward loyal workers, but businesses must consider their cybersecurity risks. Without proper security, these plans and those who depend on them may be in danger. ESOP security risks Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA)-regulated plans covered an estimated $9.3 trillion as of 2018. Individual ones can hold millions of dollars, making them tempting targets for cybercriminals. ESOPs pose unique risks, as participating employees have an ownership stake in the company. Consequently, cyberattacks that damage the business’s reputation will affect ESOP participants. Lower stock values will reduce workers’ payouts when they retire. This ownership stake means an attack doesn’t have to target the retirement plan directly to impact its participants. Any cybersecurity incident against the business poses a significant risk, and ESOP security means safeguarding the entire company’s attack surface. How to minimize ESOP security concerns ESOP cybersecurity concerns are significant, but you can take several steps to address them. Here’s how you can mitigate these security risks. Assess company-specific risks The first step in ESOP cybersecurity is to assess your specific risk landscape. Every organization and plan within one has unique considerations determining the most effective mitigation measures, so these assessments are a crucial starting point. Every risk contains two key components: an event that could happen and the consequences if it does. Teams must compile a formal list of threats facing their ESOP plans, ensuring to cover both these categories. This will reveal the most important vulnerabilities to address, helping guide further security steps. Verify vendors Like many retirement plans, ESOPs typically rely on third-party vendors to manage funds. Consequently, breaches in these partners could impact the business itself. About 51% of all organizations have experienced a data breach from a third party, so verifying their security before going into business with them is crucial. Ask for third-party audits and similar proofs of security to ensure any vendors meet strict cybersecurity standards. Contracts should include detailed pictures of their security responsibilities and consequences for noncompliance. Ensuring all vendors have sufficient cybersecurity insurance is also a good idea. Minimize access You should minimize access privileges across the organization and its partners even after verification. Well-meaning employees can still make critical errors, but if each account can only use a few resources, a breach in one won’t jeopardize the entire system. Operate by the principle of least privilege: Every user, program and endpoint should only be able to access what it needs to work correctly. That applies to third parties as well as company insiders. This will minimize lateral movement risks, helping keep ESOPs safe from attacks elsewhere in the organization. Create a culture of Cybersecurity | Data Breach | ||
