Despite warnings from every cybersecurity professional, passwords are still being shared, compromised, and ineffectively managed. 66% of individuals are using the same password across devices and applications. 42% rely on sticky notes to manage passwords. And shockingly, 59% of IT professionals rely on memory to manage their corporate credentials.…

A couple of decades ago, I received my first “authenticator” while working at Indiana University. As explained to me then, the device generated a secure token that only it and the server would know about. In this way, the servers I was helping to support would know that the bearer of that device (me) was legit.…

The fourth industrial revolution has arrived. Also called industry 4.0, this term refers to the rise of smart factories and how manufacturing as an industry is quickly transitioning from place-based warehouses to networks of global software, automated systems, OT, and integration of the internet of things to manufacture anything and everything in entirely new ways.…

Ransomware has existed as long as the internet has. From phishing scams to system takeovers to cyber espionage, hackers and bad actors have figured out that ransomware is both easy and profitable.

The world of cybersecurity is rapidly changing. Hackers are getting smarter and more sophisticated, and in the age of remote work, globalization, and endless third-party connections, attack methods and motivations are changing. Organizations need to pay attention.…

Every healthcare organization knows about the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). It’s part of daily life for those working in a healthcare setting, and it can be — from a cybersecurity perspective — a difficult set of regulations to navigate.…

With a single healthcare system averaging 2.5 million EMR accesses a day, it’s safe to say that access control can be an overwhelming task for an organization to manage.…

The digital world today is all about access. Third parties are accessing software programs, systems, and assets remotely. Employees are accessing servers and data from coffee shops, vacation homes, and even on the road. But more access inherently means more risk.…

New study finds a serious lack of urgency among many clinical executives regarding cybersecurity awareness.…

If there’s a phrase as buzzy as Zero Trust these days, it’s least privileged access. The two sound similar in both name and concept. If you’re employing zero trust aren’t you, by default, also only granting least privileged access?…

With the average healthcare organization going through over 2.5 million EMR accesses a day, it can be difficult for an organization to ensure those accesses are safe, all important data is secure, and that industry-specific compliance is reached.…

If you’re an average size healthcare organization, the amount of EMR access happening in your network, per day, can top 2.5 million. That can be hard to fathom at first, but it makes sense.…

As Big Tech is under attack from Congress and the public about how they handle and monetize customer private data, some companies have chosen to pivot. Instead of collecting and profiting off of consumer data, their focus is on protecting privacy. …

The Colonial Pipeline hack, in the end, came down to poor access management. The hackers found their way into operational technology (OT) through a VPN password that had never been de-provisioned. A small error that cost millions.…

At the end of last year, we said that in 2021 ransomware would be here to stay, and the big trends will be third-party attacks and cyber terrorism.
