High profile hacks over the last few months have put large organizations front and center of a media frenzy that highlights the dangers of inadequate data protection.
In any industry, the strive for digital transformation brings with it risk as well as opportunity. This is no more apparent than in the defense sector where several high-profile incidents have exposed vulnerabilities in areas such as email applications and other connected IoT devices.
In July 2019, leading financial organization Capital One received an anonymous e-mail revealing some bad news: “There appears to be some leaked data of yours in someone’s Github.”
This leaked data was revealed to be the personal details of about 106 million individuals across the US and Canada, mostly consumers and small business owners that have applied for credit card...
Traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technology provides protection against the traditional threat of someone trying to send a file to an unauthorized individual, but it required a step change to enable Adaptive Data Loss Prevention with Deep Content Inspection (DCI) to address threats such as ransomware that is delivered embedded in innocuous-looking documents. Clearswift delivered our first version of Adaptive Redaction in 2013 and have continuously improved the technology in every release since then.
Those of you that can remember back to 2006 may recall that High School Musical was the highest selling album of the year. “We’re all in this together” was one of the most popular songs played at the time and, some would say, a pesky tune that would stick in your head.
It also happened to be the same time when image-based spam was at its peak, another pesky occurrence that was...
Our data shows that 53% of firms are increasing their cybersecurity budgets in preparation for a rise in threats once we leave the EU. Businesses anticipate that Cybercriminals will seek to use confusion to their advantage, whether that is through malware attacks or targeted phishing campaigns to coerce critical data or financial gain from organizations.
Sun Tzu once stated that: “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting” and two and a half thousand years later his rhetoric stands the test of time, as today we are seeing this ancient ideal applied in the most modern of battlegrounds: the fight against cyber-crime.
To tackle both the malicious and accidental data loss threat, organizations need to have...
Safeguarding Against the Security Pitfalls of Cloud-Based Platforms
Majority of us are intimately familiar with the concept of ‘the Cloud’, the seemingly omnipresent information sharing and storage solution. But how much do you know about the security systems that defend it? Most of you may already be using cloud-based programs such as GoogleDocs, DropBox or, more commonly,...
The recent data breaches emphasize the danger facing data-storing companies and emphasizes the need for a more comprehensive attitude towards data security.
When it comes to traditional Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions, the ‘false positive’ is frequently the downfall. This is where an event is triggered by a policy in error. For example, a 16-digit number could be a credit card number, or it could be a reference number. If one is mistaken for the other, then this gives rise to a false positive.
All DLP events need to be...
Clearswift’s Endpoint DLP (Data Loss Prevention) solution leverages the same Deep Content Inspection Engine (DCI) which is used in its core SECURE Gateway products. The DCI can be used to scan saved files (referred to as data at rest (DAR)) on various endpoints, to identify potential data breach risks or non-compliance with company policy. For example, there may be spreadsheets containing PCI or PII data, or documents containing confidential company Intellectual Property that needs to be stored in a specific location or secured in a certain way. Once critical information is ‘discovered’, there are options as to what can be done next.
Learn about the three key components to endpoint data loss prevention; device control, content transfer control and encryption, and discovering critical information at rest.
As new threats are introduced into the cyberscape as well as evolved traditional threats, businesses need to be more prepared than ever for a data breach and have the latest tools in place to mitigate risks.
The latest release of the Clearswift Information Governance Server (IGS) product offers new features and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) functionality, as well as the ability to track unstructured classified information and policy enactment.
