Risk #4: Lack of Compliance Regulatory compliance is a complex and perpetual process of aligning with all matter of industry and government regulations. It’s never fully completed. Addressing regulatory compliance was tough in an on premises environment where we “owned” our datacenters, and now with public clouds we have an even more complex and nebulous regulatory landscape. Risk four, the lack of compliance, has to do with organizations not considering all aspects of the...

The first step in beating your enemy is to understand them. Knowing all the ways an attacker might try to hack you is virtually impossible. Understanding what’s in the Mind of a Database Hacker? Much more feasible. Different hackers have different motivations that can range from simple curiosity to, the most common - financial gain. They are after your data and probably know where it is. The consequences for Organizations are huge - Reputation loss, fines, class action...

This morning I was chatting to a colleague about the cyber security landscape and he asked me the question “Do you think machine learning and AI will replace the need for security (SOC) analysts in the future?” Artificial intelligence and machine learning are just a couple of the buzz words that are ‘in fashion’ at the moment, especially around the world of cyber security. I have written before about how different terms come and go as the fashionable phrases to attach to your...

Risk #2: Unprotected Users The consumerization of IT has made it much easier for lines of business to quickly access new cloud services without the oversight of the information security team. IT no longer has a view into the cloud services their users access. These new cloud services often use sensitive corporate data; one in seven organizations are now storing sensitive data in the cloud according to the Oracle and KPMG Cloud Threat Report. As I mentioned in my previous blog...

Risk # 1: Lack of Responsibility How many of you are responsible for security at your organization? I would like to make the case that we are all responsible for security, regardless of whether it is our 'official' role. If I were a cybercriminal looking to attack your organization, I could search employees on LinkedIn and source potential targets. I could cross reference those names with other social media properties to obtain more personal information, including email...

History has it that when Willie Sutton was asked by a reporter why he robbed banks he responded, “because that’s where the money is”. Banks still hold lots of money, but a bank heist is likely a bit harder to pull off these days than a virtual bank robbery, one that steals information and data. A modern-day version of the question posed to Willie Sutton might be why break into an organization’s IT infrastructure with the answer “because that’s where the data is”. In fact,...
