Pandemic Sent Your Workers Home? Reminders for Best Data Security Practices

Overnight, companies across the globe were forced into a fully remote workforce. If you are prepared, under the best of circumstances, it can still be a challenge, but if you are not, the challenges are even greater and some things can potentially fall through the cracks. People working from home can lead to a few unintended bad habits. With business continuity being the priority, data is even more at risk as hackers and thieves...

How many times have you seen passwords attached to monitors on sticky notes? How about people who use the password “password” or “123456”?

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...

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...

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....

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...

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...

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...

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.

From myself, and on behalf of the entire team at Fasoo, THANK YOU for your service! And while thinking about those who have...

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...
