It's been over 50 years since file transfer protocols emerged, and how we move data has evolved significantly. In 2024, secure, reliable, real-time data flows are more critical than ever for businesses. With the rise of cyber threats, outdated FTP solutions just don't cut it anymore. Companies that aren't adopting modern Managed File Transfer (MFT) solutions risk compromising both data and reputation. At Redwood Software, we've seen how MFT is critical in safeguarding data while keeping businesses agile and compliant. It's not just about moving files — it's about ensuring security, compliance and reliability in a rapidly changing landscape. New encryption standards, rigorous security protocols and automation are unlocking new efficiencies. File transfer technology is no longer a relic of the past. It's the backbone of modern enterprise operations. Is your business ready for the changes ahead? How are you adapting to the evolution of secure file transfers? Let's talk in the comments!👇 #FileTransfer #MFT #DataSecurity #Automation #TechInnovation #BusinessGrowth

Day 68 of #CybertechDave100DaysOfCyberChallenge Layers of defense-in-depth You can visualize defense-in-depth as a set of layers, with the data to be secured at the center and all the other layers functioning to protect that central data layer. Each layer provides protection so that if one layer is breached, a subsequent layer is already in place to prevent further exposure. This approach removes reliance on any single layer of protection. It slows down an attack and provides alert information that security teams can act upon, either automatically or manually. Here's a brief overview of the role of each layer: ▪ The physical security layer is the first line of defense to protect computing hardware in the datacenter. ▪ The identity and access layer controls access to infrastructure and change control. ▪ The perimeter layer uses distributed denial of service (DDoS) protection to filter large-scale attacks before they can cause a denial of service for users. ▪ The network layer limits communication between resources through segmentation and access controls. ▪ The compute layer secures access to virtual machines. ▪ The application layer helps ensure that applications are secure and free of security vulnerabilities. ▪ The data layer controls access to business and customer data that you need to protect. These layers provide a guideline for you to help make security configuration decisions in all of the layers of your applications. 🔥 "The only way to predict your future is by creating it." #DefenseInDepth #SecurityConfiguration #AccessControl #DataProtection #DREAMJOB #TPRM #Supplychain #CMMC #StudyGRC #Teamsc

Last week, I read something that blew my mind. About 60% of small business close within 6 months of a Cyber Attack - according to “Cybercrime Magazine”: https://lnkd.in/d46q9MBb   My conclusion: whether Business Survival or Regulatory Compliance is your driver, an operational resilience approach is the only way forward. Don’t let the “bad boyz” come and destroy your business …   The good news is … IBM Storage Solutions can help you right away and keep you safe from harm - at affordable cost and without a required "forklift upgrade". How? Check the brandnew IBM “ORB53”-offering which provides smaller companies with a solution bundle (comprising integrated HW- & SW) that helps to achieve an optimal state of Operational Resilience through DEDECTING, PROTECTING & RECOVERING.

🚀 Exciting Insights on Identity-Native Infrastructure Management in the Print Industry! 🖨️🔐 In a recent discussion, Quocirca and Datasec delved into how Datasec is revolutionizing the print industry with identity-native infrastructure management. At Datasec, we're dedicated to creating a secure world free from the complications and risks associated with passwords and sharing secrets over an open internet. Our innovative approach is designed to support customers in adapting a zero trust model for securing shared print devices on their networks. We tackle this challenge head-on with our "Smart Document Exchange" strategy, extending robust security capabilities to Multifunction Devices (MFDs). By leveraging existing cloud-based Identity Access Management (IAM) solutions, we're able to adapt them specifically for shared device security. With an identity layer that emphasizes infrastructure access management, Datasec places the customer at the center of our solutions. This ensures that identity and security are seamlessly integrated, providing an unparalleled level of protection. We also explored the evolving landscape of AI and its implications for protecting corporate data. As AI continues to advance, it holds significant potential for enhancing managed print services and print management solutions. However, it's crucial to navigate the associated risks carefully to safeguard sensitive information. Stay tuned for more updates on how Datasec is driving innovation in secure identity-native infrastructure management!

Microsoft Outage Due to CrowdStrike Update On July 19, 2024, a significant global IT outage impacted Microsoft services, primarily linked to a faulty update from CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity firm. This incident disrupted businesses worldwide, affecting airlines, banks, and healthcare facilities. How It Happened 1. Faulty Update: At 04:09 UTC, CrowdStrike released a defective update to its Falcon Sensor software, which protects Windows systems. This update altered a critical configuration file, causing approximately 8.5 million Windows systems to crash. 2. Immediate Impact: By 06:48 UTC, systems on Microsoft Azure began crashing, leading to widespread disruptions: - Airlines: Over 1,000 flights were canceled or delayed. - Financial Institutions: Banks faced operational challenges, with some unable to process transactions. - Healthcare Services: Hospitals reverted to manual processes, delaying patient care. Who Is to Blame? The primary blame lies with CrowdStrike for releasing the faulty update. Both CrowdStrike and Microsoft clarified that this was not a cyberattack but a technical failure. CrowdStrike's CEO, George Kurtz, confirmed that the issue was quickly identified and isolated. How It Stopped 1. Quick Response: CrowdStrike reverted the faulty update by 05:27 UTC, mitigating further damage, although many systems required manual intervention to restore functionality. 2. Technical Guidance: Microsoft and CrowdStrike provided support to affected organizations, advising on steps to restore systems, including rebooting devices to download the reverted channel file. 3. Ongoing Communication: Both companies maintained communication with clients throughout the crisis, providing updates and guidance on restoring services securely. #MicrosoftOutage #CrowdStrike #ITDisruption #GlobalImpact #TechFailure #SoftwareUpdate #CloudServices #Cybersecurity
