We’ve been asked to provide a comparison of scan times between Snyk Code and two common SAST tools: LGTM and SonarQube. For our research, we made several assumptions, but we’ve shared the details in order to be transparent.
TModern data protection has five key drivers, all of which an organization must seek to understand. These drivers equally apply to cloud and non-cloud related data and should form the basis of any robust data protection strategy.
To keep your business secure, it is important not only to keep the hackers from getting in but also to keep your data from getting out. Even if a malicious actor gains access to the server, for example via an SSH session, it is vital to keep the data from being exfiltrated to an unauthorized location, such as IP addresses not under your organization’s control. In considering a solution to protect against data exfiltration, it is critical to note that one policy does not fit all.
Data breaches and ransomware attacks aren’t just still occurring. They’re also becoming more frequent. According to ZDNet, the number of ransomware attacks detected and blocked by one security firm grew 715% year-over-year in 2020 alone. Another security company calculated the total number of ransomware attacks for the year to be around 65,000, wrote NPR. That’s about seven ransomware incidents every hour.
Ransomware. Nearly every day, we learn about another major attack on companies such as JBS, Kaseya, and Quanta, a key supplier to Apple. Along with the increase in attacks, recent reports have shown the average ransomware recovery cost skyrocketed to $1.85 million this year. And, as companies have become more willing to accept attackers’ ransom demands to restore their mission-critical operations, the average ransomware payment has jumped to more than $170,000.
It’s no secret that Covid-19 has accelerated the number of cyber-attacks and data breaches witnessed across the globe. Increased reliance on technology as the world worked, shopped and socialised from home increased the surface area for attackers, who capitalised on a growing amount of PII (personally identifiable information) available across the internet.
The connected nature of business environments has increased the severity and frequency of cyberattacks in the insurance sector. Insurance companies face a greater threat than most industries because they deal with sensitive and valuable data stemming from numerous avenues. This has resulted in several high-profile cyberattacks on insurance providers over the past few years.
We are pleased to announce that we have expanded our training offerings with the addition of a brand-new AT&T Cybersecurity Training (ACT) learning portal, which is part of AT&T Cybersecurity Training-as-a-Service.
