Malware. Ransomware. Phishing. DDoS. Insider Threat. Zero-Day Exploit. The number of cybersecurity attack incidents continues to increase exponentially.

The Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information (Safeguards Rule) requires covered financial companies to develop, implement, and maintain an information security program with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect customer information. Additional requirements, related to Section 314.4, are slated to go into effect June 9, 2023.

In early 2020, the CMMC and the IoT Cybersecurity Act were both introduced to ensure minimum cybersecurity regulations for companies that work with government agencies.

The CMMC defines levels of cybersecurity required for DoD contractors to bid on and complete projects for the DoD. This certification ensures all companies and subcontractors who supply DoD establish a specific framework for their cybersecurity, helping ensure protection for the data that the DoD entrusts them with. 

Every business, no matter the type or size, needs to take a proactive approach to cybersecurity. You do not want to find yourself questioning your business’s cybersecurity capabilities during a cyber incident or data breach.

By having a strong cybersecurity program in place, not only will you be able to respond to a cyber incident quickly and effectively should one occur, but also mitigate the risk of becoming a target for a cyber-attack in the first place.  

The Department of Defense or DoD provides the United States of America military with forces that are needed to deter war and ensure the nation’s security.

AWS is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, which offers services from data centers all around the world.

These days, it's not enough to just have a well-secured system and network protecting your business in the world we live in. Equally as important, you need to ensure that your employees are not letting the bad guys in through your front door.

The number of daily internet users is consistently increasing, which means the number of vulnerable passwords is increasing as well. As a result of users’ increased presence online, malicious attackers are looking to exploit the lack of complexity in user passwords.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail”. The same is true when it comes to an organization’s data security program.

In today’s day and age, many companies are realizing that security training is necessary for all employees. After all, the employees within an organization are the weakest link and are the easiest to exploit when looking for confidential information or when looking to do damage to a target company.
