The very nature of the cybersecurity attack surface – a sitting duck that can be found and then attacked by adversaries – is currently assumed to be an unchangeable fact of life. This vulnerability, however, fundamentally undermines the ability to protect our most confidential and sensitive data and information.

In this blog, John Joseph, founder of Obtego Cyber, writes about how his company is developing new solutions to move beyond the sitting duck attack surface.

Jody discusses how the Russians have carried out a twenty-year attack on U.S. public and private sector systems and calls for increased U.S. leadership at the United Nations and multilateral fora to build an international legal framework that assures geo-cyber stability.

There are lessons to be learned from every major cyber event. The recent SolarWinds cyber attacks teach us that all software companies need to ensure they have a strong cybersecurity program that includes strict key management, protections for intellectual property, and tight controls around software releases and updates. The harm to SolarWinds’ reputation is clear, and the trust the company has earned in the marketplace has been diminished.

Jody Westby’s recent article in Forbes reminds us that no matter how good the product, it can all be lost to the bad guys if the company has weak security controls.

We are in unprecedented situation and privacy is no longer a fundamental right.

Our global communication structure is broken, and as we can see every day, every piece of information is now unsafe.

Our very own Alain Obadia, founder of Quantum Trilogy (S20), gives his take on the future of encryption and how we can prepare.
