Sponsor: Palo Alto Traditional data security strategies tend to operate under a “trust but verify” approach — trusting internal users with unrestricted network access and considering the external network as the only network in need of security controls. Rooted in the principle of “never trust, always verify,” Zero Trust architecture is an alternative and individualized approach to network security that uses an organization’s functionality and business objectives to determine exactly what data needs to be safeguarded and how best to do it. Because it diverges from traditional strategies, there are common misconceptions about the implementation and function of this approach. We spoke with the creator of Zero Trust, John Kindervag, to debunk myths and learn how the model can be strategically implemented.

Think about all of the information – personal and professional – that you’ve entrusted to the Internet of Things (IoT). Have IoT devices earned this trust we invest in them? Our interactions with IoT are so often focused on automated technology that — by choice or by habit — we often assume we can trust IoT simply because it’s not human. But, in reality, the human elements of IoT devices are critical to their success and to their failure. Just as a device can be programmed to solve challenges and create conveniences, they can also be programmed to hack data and hide security flaws. We spoke with industry expert E.G. Nadhan of Red Hat to learn more about the state of IoT security and how companies and consumers can avoid risk.

Moving to the cloud can bring you a number of business benefits, but it may cost more than you had planned. According to the RightScale 2017 State of the Cloud, users report an average of 30 percent wasted cloud spend, while RightScale measures actual waste between 30 and 45 percent. The culprit behind these wasted resources: poor planning. To avoid unexpected cloud spend, you need a defined cloud strategy before you migrate.

Gartner predicts that through 2018, over 50 percent of Internet of Things (IoT) device manufacturers will not be able to address threats due to weak authentication practices. Millions of IoT devices — including everyday objects like routers, security cameras, DVRs, medical devices, cars and more — have already been infected with malware and repurposed as zombie armies by cyber attackers. As a result, the bandwidth of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks reached frightening levels in 2016, culminating with attacks of well over 600 Gbps. Until device makers require unique passwords by default, it is up to us to protect ourselves. In this episode, host Cherie Caswell Dost speaks with Bryan Fischer, senior director, Forsythe Security Professional Services, about the ever-changing security challenges of IoT devices, and how organizations can mitigate associated risks.

The passing of a new European Union (EU) data protection framework — the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — is having a tremendous impact on enterprises that collect data on Europeans. The May 25, 2018 compliance deadline, which from an IT planning and management perspective is right around the corner, has U.S. organizations scrambling. According to PwC, 77 percent of U.S. multinational companies are planning to spend $1 million or more on GDPR readiness this year, and 68 percent are earmarking between $1 million and $10 million. Companies looking to maintain a European presence should assess their overall data protection capabilities to identify gaps and compliance risks.

The FBI estimates that $209M was paid to ransomware criminals in the first quarter of 2016 alone. In 2017, ransomware is only growing in sophistication. Consider the WannaCry outbreak, a large-scale ransomware attack that is reported to have hit at least 150 countries, and infected 230,000 machines to date. This worldwide security incident is unprecedented in its disruption of large institutions such as Spain's Telefónica and the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). It is also the first ransomware to incorporate worm functionality. The infection of one computer can ultimately lead to the infection of an entire network, without the need for additional users to click on malicious links or attachments.
