Surviving in the emerging threat world!
Technology is changing everything and the rate at which this technology is changing is accelerating, with no immediate indication of slowing down. Today, digital transformation is an existential concern for enterprises in the way they think, in what they produce, and how they operate.It seems software is going to destroy the world.
“First, I think it’s great that Facebook appears to have reacted so quickly, as it’s a sign of the growing maturity around breach response that we are starting to see as GDPR comes into effect. Understanding if there was a pattern to the impacted accounts versus just random selection is the difference between someone trying to hack the system for fun or a coordinated nation-state attack that compromises specific users to ultimately gain access to sensitive data.
This breach illustrates a fundamental truth of the new digital economy: when I share my personal data with a company I am putting my trust in your ability to protect that data adequately. Users need to continually evaluate the type of data they share and the potential impact a breach of that data could cause, to become an active participant in protecting their own online identities. On the other side, companies need to avail themselves of proactive technologies such as behavioral analysis to hold up their end of the bargain.”
It is true that, Information enables enterprises to define and execute against an information strategy that capitalizes on the value of information.This year India has witnessed multiple high-profile security incidents like the Facebook and the Aadhaar data breach. The growing number of security incidents shows that cybercrime is rapidly creating a struggle of truly epic proportions.
As cyber-attacks on individuals and companies increase exponentially year on year, it becomes increasingly imperative for users to consider ways in which they can protect themselves, their data and their business. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) recently revealed, Indian organizations reported more than 53,000 security incidents in 2017 alone and a security incident reported every ten minutes.
Millions of people are unaware of and uninformed about how their personal information is being used, collected or shared in our digital society by most of the social media and digital platforms.
