It is no doubt that 2015 is on record pace for the number of data breaches compared to previous years. However, typically we would assume that these data breaches would happen in such industries as healthcare, finance, retail or the government. We would have never thought that this would enter the area of professional sports teams. Now we know it is happening inside America’s favorite pastime, baseball, and it’s reaching national and worldwide headlines....

Every time we look to the news we find at least one data breach incident, some more minor than others. However, at that time it was businesses in retail, finance or in healthcare. Now we look to the news and we discover that more and more data breaches are focused on the government. From third party contractors that deal with government to household names such as the Internal Revenue Service, The White House, and...

When most people think about cyber security, they immediately think about hackers and other external threats. This is understandable, since most of the headlines in the news focus on external sources. While external threats are a problem, internal threats by privileged users can pose as great a threat, if not greater, to a company’s business. A recent Insider Threat Report, sponsored by Fasoo, highlights the magnitude of insider threats and the damage they can...

Information security in the healthcare industry focuses on complying with HIPAA regulations rather than ensuring that healthcare information is really protected. This approach is tactical and sometimes shortsighted. Since most hospitals and healthcare organizations have CIOs and CISOs dedicated to data control, data governance, security and privacy, you would expect a more proactive approach. Unfortunately most of these organizations continue to approach data security in a very reactive way and – though it may...

When it comes to stolen information, individual identification, health records and embarrassing emails make the headlines, while intellectual property doesn’t warrant the attention. Until today. Not the Chinese or the Russians, not military code or federal security clearance, but the St. Louis Cardinals accused of hacking the Houston Astros to gain access to intellectual property – trade, proprietary statistics and player strategy information. The sole purpose of this data breach was to gain access...

HR departments have a unique set of security challenges to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of internal staff and external clients. While maintaining the confidentiality of personally identifiable information (PII), they also develop and share information that needs wide distribution. Managing these somewhat contradictory requirements requires an approach that is flexible enough to protect against insider threats, while enabling secure sharing. IT Business Edge has published the slideshow, “Data Protection: Five Challenges Facing the...
