Titaniam Newsletter: Issue 2

Welcome to the Titaniam December newsletter!

This month we looked at recent news in the cybersecurity space, security trends, and new technologies. Knowledge is power, and the more we create a conversation around these topics, the more we shed light on how we can build more effective cybersecurity defenses. That said, we would love for you to look at what we’ve been up to below.?

Data Breach and Extortion Roundup

Unfortunately, data breaches continue to happen. We want to provide insight into recent incidents and provide an educational conversation on proactive opportunities to secure your own company.

Third-party Vendor Breach Leaks Uber's Data

Do you know how much of your data companies are collecting and where it is stored or where it is being used? Take, for example, the most recent Uber breach. Uber recently suffered a new data breach after a threat actor leaked employee email addresses, corporate reports, and IT asset information stolen from a third-party vendor in a cybersecurity incident.

Many do not know that companies can do full-featured processing on encrypted data using the data security platform that provides high-performance encryption-in-use technology and nine privacy-preserving techniques in a single engine. As a result, if cyber attackers penetrate networks, they cannot access unencrypted data, even if they have highly privileged credentials, such as administrator keys.

Whatsapp Breach Leads To Questions; What Is End-To-End Encryption?

In November, WhatsApp was supposedly breached after a bad actor claimed they were selling a 2022 database of 487 million WhatsApp user mobile numbers. While the “How” behind this breach is still undetermined, the claim led to many consumer questions about what exactly IS end-to-end encryption. We chose to take an educational approach to answer that question.?

End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) is the process by which data is encrypted before it leaves the data owner and retains encryption until the data owner retrieves it. When the data owner is not using it, this data can travel across networks and be stored with third parties while remaining securely encrypted. End-to-end encryption generally also guarantees that the data owner is the holder of the encryption key so that only they have the capability to decrypt the data. This means that end-to-end encrypted data cannot be decrypted or read by the service or storage provider.

Rackspace’s Reputation Taking A Hit As Response To Ransomware Attack Falls Short Of Customers’ Hopes

Rackspace recently fell prey to a ransomware attack and has not given a timeline for when its hosted Exchange email service could be restored or how many customers have been affected. Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common, affecting local governments, businesses, schools and healthcare providers of all sizes.

“This incident should serve as a warning to existing customers utilizing Rackspace’s other offerings as well,” said Stan Moore, Senior Customer Success Manager. “Fortunately, the impact on my work is relatively limited, but it will require some effort to migrate to a new service. As for Rackspace management, they would benefit from crisis management training and better disaster recovery planning.”

Boost Cyber Immunity in 2023 by Combating Data Exfiltration

According to reports , there are more than 2,200 cyberattacks worldwide daily, equating to about one every 39 seconds. Since data is an essential operating component for businesses, infrastructure, financial institutions, and more, these organizations must have a plan for a worst-case scenario. Cyberattacks can impact all kinds of organizations, regardless of the preventative measures or plans in place. There is no 100% guarantee when it comes to cybersecurity, but in order to combat data exfiltration, achieving cyber immunity is key.

Zero Trust Security: The Guide to Zero Trust Strategies

Companies today face more and more security risks. Ransomware is on the rise, and cybercriminals are beginning to breach critical infrastructure with new techniques. In an effort to reduce the frequency and severity of these attacks, the United States government previously released a mandate to improve cybersecurity nationwide through a Zero Trust security strategy. More recently, The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has also released its own Zero Trust security plan going forward. Countries like Australia are also beginning to exact heavy tolls on companies that fall victim to data breaches. It’s time for companies to consider newer security strategies, such as Zero Trust.
