Companies that move to the cloud have to assume new responsibilities, develop new skill sets and implement new processes. The first step to better cloud security is to assume you have no security. Cloud computing has transformed the way businesses work and continues to disrupt traditional business models. IDC predicts that by 2023 public cloud spending will more than double, growing from $229 billion this year to nearly $500 billion. It’s no secret that migrating to the cloud can deliverfalse

Thank you to all who attended this year’s Information Security Summit! Please see the video recap below. Looking forward to seeing everyone next year!

How to secure remote file access, sharing and collaboration with decentralized cloud computing.

When we hear the word “cybersecurity” a lot comes to mind — firewalls, antivirus, endpoint protection, email security, web security and much more. But how often do we think or talk about people? This is a central element in cybersecurity that is often ignored. ‘To err is human"— it’s obvious that as humans we often make mistakes. And we can’t be programmed either. As humans, our behavior is largely unpredictable, and failure to account for insider threats can result into costly securityfalse

While much of cybersecurity is focused on prevention, the simple fact is that many attacks are successful. Even a sophisticated, expensive security system is going to be breached from time to time. Smart attackers try to fly under the radar, biding their time and extracting maximum value or causing maximum carnage, sometimes over a period of months or even years.

Businesses continue to face modern cyber attacks such as ransomware threats and data breach incidents. In the wake of a non-stop onslaught from advanced hackers, it seems that no matter what defensive measures organizations put in place, cyber adversaries and malware authors are able to circumvent them.

The numerous high-profile data breaches that took place in 2018 illustrate that no organization, irrespective of size, scale or scope, is immune from cyberattacks. Last year witnessed a 350% increase in ransomware attacks and a 70% increase in spear-phishing attacks.
