Leave the Fear Behind: What the World of Cybersecurity Needs Now
Mark Cooley of Involta examines how resiliency is key to “leaving the fear behind” in the world of cybersecurity. As we navigate the complex landscape of cybersecurity, the looming possibility of a cyber-attack on any given day and at any given time leads to an ever-present element of fear and uncertainty. From recent thought-provoking movies, like “Leave the World Behind” portraying a nationwide cyber-attack, to the increase in AI-generated deepfakes to new reports of foreign governments using malware to damage civilian infrastructure, cybersecurity stands as an ever-expanding and critical topic of discussion, especially for CISO and CIOs of enterprise organizations. In our connected world, the threat of a data breach is not a matter of “if” but “when,” and amid this unpredictability, one question arises— Is it all unrest and uncertainty?
Executives Sleep Better at Night with a Comprehensive Data Protection Program
Avani Desai of Schellman examines how a comprehensive data protection program can help executives get a better night’s sleep. In today’s day and age, we’re all guilty of being laissez-faire with our data. Whether that be accepting a website’s cookies without reading the fine print, clicking a link from a friend without knowing its destination, sharing copious amounts of personal data on social media, or even giving those same social apps access to the microphone on our smartphone, these actions put ourselves and our employers at risk of a data incent. Considering that, according to IBM, the average cost of a data breach has reached $4.35 million, a laissez-faire approach to data should be keeping executives up at night. If this is how people handle data in their personal lives, what’s to stop them from falling victim to the same habits while at work? While people are a business’s greatest asset, they’re also the biggest security threat.
