As Big Tech is under attack from Congress and the public about how they handle and monetize customer private data, some companies have chosen to pivot. Instead of collecting and profiting off of consumer data, their focus is on protecting privacy.
The Colonial Pipeline hack, in the end, came down to poor access management. The hackers found their way into operational technology (OT) through a VPN password that had never been de-provisioned. A small error that cost millions.
The termination gap can cause all kinds of trouble. That length of time between an employee leaving their role and their user access being de-provisioned is when dangerous activities can occur -- including a malicious breach by that internal user -- and the truth is, organizations aren’t worrying enough about it.
Every organization will be quick to say that their systems are secure, and a breach won’t happen. In fact, according to a recent report by Skybox Security, 73% of CIOs and CISOs are "highly confident" they will not suffer an operational technology breach in the next 12 months.
As technology continues to evolve, cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated. Many organizations focus their cybersecurity efforts only on outsider threats, hence creating more loopholes for insider threats. These companies don’t see the possibility of losing sensitive data due to negligence or the malicious intent of their own people.
It’s hard to know what’s happening with critical access and assets if no one is watching. Access governance can create a secure system, and access controls can add friction, but you don’t know who is actually accessing what unless there are eyes on it.
Health systems today are more vulnerable than ever to data breaches and malicious cybercrime. Regular user access reviews are a key part of securing critical data, but it comes with challenges, costs and potential roadblocks.
63% of organizations don’t have visibility into the level of access and permissions their users have to critical systems. Too many organizations aren’t implementing and enforcing access policies to their most critical assets, like systems, data, networks, infrastructure, and operational technology.
It’s no secret that healthcare organizations contain endless sensitive and critical assets. Patient files and electronic medical records (EMR) are not only important, but some of the most highly valued assets on the black market. In fact, healthcare related breaches increased by 55.1% in 2020.
The threat isn’t always coming from outside an organization. In any organization, big or small, employees are given access to critical information, files, data, and more. It may seem like employees, or internal users, would be the obvious people to trust with these kinds of assets.
