Lessons from the Biggest Data Breaches in 2022
In this blog post, we delve into three significant data breaches from 2022 involving Okta, Microsoft, and Nvidia, all linked to the Lapsus$ group—a hacking group allegedly run by teenagers. By examining these breaches, we uncover key lessons about the importance of social engineering awareness, robust third-party risk management, and the necessity for comprehensive, multi-layered cybersecurity strategies to protect against both sophisticated and unsophisticated cyber threats.
Multifactor Authentication: A Critical Piece of Your Cybersecurity Strategy
Multifactor authentication (MFA) enhances security by requiring multiple forms of verification, making it harder for unauthorized users to access systems even if they obtain a password. It’s essential for all organizations, especially in highly-regulated sectors, and should be part of a comprehensive, multilayered cybersecurity strategy to effectively mitigate cyber threats and ensure compliance.
4 Tools to Evaluate and Improve Your Cybersecurity Posture
Cybersecurity Awareness Month, recognized every October, emphasizes the importance of maintaining robust cybersecurity practices year-round. To support this initiative, Coretelligent offers valuable resources such as a Cybersecurity Evaluation Checklist, risk mitigation case studies, and videos on best practices and defense-in-depth strategies to help businesses strengthen their cybersecurity posture.
Cybersecurity and the Human Element
Cybercriminals often bypass perimeter security measures by targeting humans, exploiting errors, and using social engineering tactics like phishing to gain sensitive information and credentials. Implementing strong cybersecurity policies, providing regular user awareness training, using multi-factor authentication, and employing active security monitoring can help mitigate these risks and protect your organization’s data.
The Importance of Data Loss Prevention
Data loss prevention (DLP) involves implementing systems, policies, and training to protect sensitive information from being misused, lost, or accessed by unauthorized users. Businesses can reduce the risk of data loss by developing comprehensive security policies, conducting regular vulnerability assessments, implementing access controls, and ensuring proper data backup and disaster recovery plans.
