Trusted Insiders Pose Major Risk to Intellectual Property

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...

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...

I am not sure if it’s coincidence or not, but just before this year’s Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit in National Harbor, MD, the US government suffered a massive data breach at the Office of Personnel Management. Just before last year’s summit, there were a few other major data breaches to hit the news. I’m not sure if the timing was intended to coincide with the summit, but there is nothing like current...

I was attending the annual Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit in National Harbor, MD this week and overheard an interesting comment from one of the speakers. He wondered if organizations and the public are becoming desensitized to data breaches. It’s an interesting question and one that I can understand asking, unless you happen to be a victim of a data breach. Just do a Google search on data breach and see what comes...

A lot of information security today is focused on compliance and is very tactical. You would expect more of a proactive approach, since there are so many more people involved in data control, data governance, security and privacy in many organizations. Unfortunately most organizations approach data security in a very reactive way and often do not have a clear understanding of the value of their data. Things are beginning to shift as more CEOs and...

If you have experienced a data breach, you may have suffered irreplaceable loss of intellectual property, losing customer and business partner trust, incurring considerable fines, decreases in revenue and drops in share prices.
