The current world is striving to transform the businesses and personal lives of the people around the world to embrace the technology and this transformational push is being done by the technology industry which is powering the digital infrastructure and providing the backbone. The protection of this digital transformation and systems is important not just for the private organization but also the government globally.
A big part of cybersecurity is privacy and its increasing need to protect sensitive information. Technological companies are innovating next-gen designs and a lot of the world economy is riding on it. Ensuring that security is built around these services and products is of importance. Let’s take a look at some common threats that they face and causes:
In May 2019 Australian graphic design tool website Canva suffered an attack that exposed email addresses, usernames, names, cities of residence, and salted and hashed with bcrypt passwords (for users not using social logins — around 61 million) of 137 million users.
In December 2018, New York-based video messaging service Dubsmash had 162 million email addresses, usernames, PBKDF2 password hashes, and other personal data such as dates of birth stolen, all of which was then put up for sale on the Dream Market, a dark web market the following December.
Yahoo announced in September 2016 that in 2014 it had been the victim of what would be the biggest data breach in history. The attackers, which the company believed were “state-sponsored actors,” compromised the contact information of 500 million users.
Digital Defense understands the need for privacy and financial impacts of breaches and we have come up with some composite solutions at best. When done, it will mitigate a lot of the risk an organization could face.
We work with your internal teams to identify high-risk areas and create strategies to drive down the risk as opposed to remediating it as a one-off. These are some of the more cost-effective and reliable ways to reduce threats.
Ensuring infrastructure security to be in place, is required for any government organization, also understanding the readiness and to have an effective recovery plan in place, we simulate threat actors and achieve objectives by non-destructive methods.
By performing periodic security assessments and penetration testing services to weed out any security threats an organization will avoid data breaches and also manage their reputation.
Our deliverables are comprehensive in nature that addresses both technical and business audiences.
