As the world continues to change, so does the nature of warfare, where the Internet has become the main battleground for most of the world’s conflicts. But where is this headed? Cyberattacks have been around for much longer than you may think. The first worm was created by Bob Thomas in 1971: a malicious software that replicates itself, using some of the first world computers to spread to others.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a great way to increase both on-premises and cloud security. With MFA in place, when a user logs on, they are required to provide not only their user ID and password but another authentication factor, such as a code sent to their phone. This process reduces the attack surface by preventing adversaries with stolen user credentials from logging on. However, MFA is not a cybersecurity panacea.
Credentials are a set of attributes that uniquely identify an entity such as a person, an organization, a service or a device. According to IBM’s Cost of a data breach report, compromised credentials were the primary attack vector of 19% of the data breaches the study highlights. A 2021 data breach report by ITRC reveals that cyberattacks, including credential stuffing, made up 88% of data breaches in Q3 of 2022.

Many of today’s business challenges can be addressed with a reliable evidence ledger. If you want the long answer, read on.
Data encryption is one of the many ways organizations can protect their data. Encryption turns plaintext (readable data) into ciphertext (randomized data), which requires the use of a unique cryptographic key for interpretation. In other words, encryption is a security measure used to scramble data so that it can only be read by authorized personnel.
