Please Steal My Password

Please Steal My Password
  • How many times have you seen passwords attached to monitors on sticky notes?  How about people who use the password “password” or “123456”?  With a lot of us having to work from home because of COVID-19, data security and privacy has become more important than ever, since we are not in the protective confines of an office and many of us may have to use our home computers. In 2020 we have a lot...

Complying with CCPA – What are some of the landmines?

Complying with CCPA – What are some of the landmines?
  • The potential landmines for compliance with CCPA is pretty high. One of the first things is that a lot of companies don’t know how to interpret the law. We saw that with GDPR for the year prior to it going into effect. CCPA is a lot like it, but there are likely still questions. Secondly, is the DSRs (Data Subject Requests) or the right to be forgotten. People are very in tune with their...

Tariffs Hitting the Automotive Manufacturing Industry Is Bad Enough, But Intellectual Property Protection is of Huge Concern!

Tariffs Hitting the Automotive Manufacturing Industry Is Bad Enough, But Intellectual Property Protection is of Huge Concern!
  • Intellectual property is a valuable asset in manufacturing, and more specifically the automotive industry.  It is particularly vulnerable to theft.  In our Webinar “Close the Gap on Insider Threat: Granular Access Controls & Behavior Analytics” , we cited a Deloitte survey where the respondents put the automotive industry at the highest risk of insider cyber threat.  Executives, IT and security groups need to put serious consideration into protecting their intellectual property in files, especially...

It Takes a Village to Raise a Child, Right? It Takes a Team to Develop a Data Governance Strategy!

It Takes a Village to Raise a Child, Right? It Takes a Team to Develop a Data Governance Strategy!
  • The phrase “It takes a Village to raise a child” is true.  But it is also true that it takes a team to develop a data governance and policy management strategy! Teamwork is important when developing a data security strategy. As part of that process, data governance and policy management needs to be part of the equation. It’s becoming more and more clear that organizations struggle with policy management – particularly with unstructured data....

Geese at the ISMG Cybersecurity Summit in New York? It’s all about teamwork!

Geese at the ISMG Cybersecurity Summit in New York? It’s all about teamwork!
  • Last week, Fasoo sponsored and participated in the ISMG Cybersecurity Summit in New York City.   It was a great event, well attended and in the Theater District and the ISMG folks were awesome to work with! As part of our sponsorship, Fasoo had a 10 minute Tech Spotlight where, rather than providing a “death by powerpoint” tech dump, we thought it would be good to get everyone thinking about working together as a team...

Getting Granular: Why You Need Granular Access Controls

Getting Granular: Why You Need Granular Access Controls
  • In our last post, we said “Without granular access controls, you can’t prevent a user from copying data from a file and pasting it into an email, for example. If you only encrypt a file and do not prevent copy and paste or printing, a user can easily compromise security.” And we meant it. Now,  you might be asking yourself “What does it mean… granular access controls?” And the answer is simple. Granular permissions...

Your Sensitive Data is at Risk: How Do You Manage Insider Threats?

Your Sensitive Data is at Risk: How Do You Manage Insider Threats?
  • Picture it.  Your employees access sensitive and confidential customer information every day so they can do their jobs. Once the data leaves the protected confines of an information repository, file share or cloud-based service, your authorized users can share it with anyone, do anything with it and compromise your customer’s confidential information or your intellectual property.  As a result, you may be subject to regulatory fines, not to mention losing customers because they can’t...

I Want YOU…

I Want YOU…
  • To think about stronger data security and privacy protection! But first, I want you to think about the millions of heroes who have served our country. As we approach the 4th of July, I wanted to take a moment to recognize the heroes in the many branches of the U.S. Military.  From myself, and on behalf of the entire team at Fasoo, THANK YOU for your service! And while thinking about those who have...

Attended Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit? So did we!

Attended Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit? So did we!
  • I have to say, being on the other side of the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit was a combination of exciting, fun, and educational. The cool thing is that I still got to get up on stage and the bonus was to see all the hard work that goes into exhibiting. I think the Fasoo team did a fantastic job setting up and manning the booth. At our booth at the Summit, we...

Another day, another… $853K?

Attended Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit? So did we!
  • This has been on my mind. A lot. Every day, I open my email to find news about how a company needs to pay a fine or a fee to either an individual or a regulator because data was leaked or stolen. This one in particular caught my eye because it is a classic example of data being accessed by likely the wrong individual and shared with someone who should definitely not have been...
