As we discussed in a recent blog post, quantum computing, like any major technological advance, will bring a lot of good things, but it also poses a serious risk to the security of our communications, making them vulnerable to new quantum-powered attacks performed by state-sponsored cybercriminals. While most technologies used to secure our data were believed to be secure and “unbreakable” some years ago, they will certainly not be in the years to come. Quantum computing is accelerating...

In the past few years, with the rise of mobile devices and the need to access all services from anywhere on any type of device, organizations have been leveraging cloud providers to host more and more services, seeking to optimize both cost and availability.

How Can We Prevent This? Once we understand what happened and how, it is now time to learn from it and build a plan to remedy it and ensure such scenarios cannot happen in the future. You know the saying, “Fool me once...” However, in this case, we know that this very company was allegedly hacked a couple of years ago and ended up paying a ransom to the hacker to delete the stolen data and “keep it quiet”; but based on what occurred, it looks like they did not learn from this and still...

Companies operating in regulated sectors in the US, like finance or healthcare, are legally required by federal laws to archive all their business communications, including emails, SMS, and other electronic messages; this is an effort to ensure employees are not avoiding or bypassing anti-fraud or antitrust laws.

However, no matter how much time and money are invested in deploying and later maintaining the best, state-of-the-art solution, it is simply not enough.
