Cloud Security Podcast’s Post

Data Security Posture Management - killer webinar next week that is a must see for anyone in #security, #data or #riskmanagement. #dspm is a trend that's taking the market by storm. Why? Data has become increasingly difficult to control. Wildly difficult. Understanding where data lives, who has access, how data is being used and by whom, who the owners are, when was it last accessed, etc - this is an obvious superpower. BUT... Layering in visibility so SecOps teams can accelerate incident response, prevent exfiltration, and automating processes that have historically been very manual elevates things to an entirely new level. A first-hand customer story of how Neta Achituv, IAM & Data Security Lead from Pagaya (PGY: NASDAQ) leverages next-gen data security solutions to advance her career while protecting her organization. #rubrik #cyberresilience #cloud #finops Register Here: https://lnkd.in/gPC3Hy6M

The Cost of Data Breaches is Rising - Is Your Business Prepared? In 2024, the global average cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million. In industries like healthcare, this number soars to $9.77 million per breach. But here’s the game-changer: companies using AI and automation are saving up to $2.22 million per incident. As hybrid cloud environments grow, their complexity is driving breach costs up to $5.17 million. On top of that, the longer a breach goes undetected, the more expensive it becomes, with some cases exceeding $5.46 million if they aren’t contained within 200 days. Invest in AI, automation, and robust cybersecurity strategies to reduce both time and financial damage when dealing with a breach. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Your business’s survival may depend on it.

Data security can literally make or break a business. Unfortunately, we see too many companies playing defense rather than taking control of cloud security. My colleague @Michael Wasielewski believes it is time for businesses to stop acting out of fear and be proactive. Preparation is the best approach. Artificial intelligence both improves and complicates the situation. But #GoogleCloud is offering a ""shared fate"" approach to offer a more collaborative environment to keep clients secure. Add in Capgemini's best-in-class tools and experience, and we can offer clients: ✅ Audit-proven security controls for specific verticals ✅ Real-time understanding of security state ✅ Increased compliance and reduced risk. It is time to start seeing security operations as a business enabler. @Capgemini and @GC can support your security goals no matter where you are in the journey. Read Michael's blog post to find out how to build a solid foundation that provides the flexibility and agility to move your business forward: https://bit.ly/3XEgK2C #CloudSecurity #AIandSecurity #DigitalTransformation

2024 THALES DATA THREAT REPORT Key Findings: 1. 49% of organizations reported being breached sometime in their history, but recent breach history has decreased from 24% in 2021 to 15% in 2024. 2. Ransomware attacks are more common, with 28% experiencing an attack (up from 22% last year), but planning is still poor, with only 21% saying they would follow a formal plan in the event of an attack. 3. Human factors are still a major cause of cloud data breaches; human error was the leading cause with 31%, and failure to apply MFA to privileged accounts constituted another 17%. 4. Multicloud growth is flattening, but financial services firms are now slightly more multicloud (2.03 cloud providers on average) than the average enterprise survey-wide (2.02 cloud providers). 5. The generative AI boom is underway: 22% plan to integrate GenAI into products/services in the next 12 months, and 33% are going to experiment with integrating the technology. 6. Security of data over 5G networks was the number one concern for nearly two-thirds (65%).

Attacks hit in under 24 hours– are you ready? ⏳ 🔍 Imagine this: In just two years, the median time from compromise to data theft has shrunk by 78%. Adversaries are exploiting vulnerabilities within minutes, leaving organizations in a race against time. Plus, both sides are leveraging AI, and the stakes are high. What can you do? The Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 Incident Response Report has answers: ✅ Automate responses to outpace attackers ✅ Secure your identities with least-privilege access ✅ Monitor your cloud and lock down critical data What tips would you add?

There are several trends shaping the landscape for #governments worldwide. Sharing my thoughts on some from a recent Forbes article that I believe are necessary for successful #digitaltransformation: 1. Greater Migration to the #Cloud: Governments are recognizing the transformative potential of cloud technologies to modernize operations and enhance service delivery. This shift signifies a move towards a more efficient and interconnected public sector. 2. Security Remains Paramount: With cyber threats becoming increasingly sophisticated, #cybersecurity has become a top priority for governments. Ensuring the protection of sensitive information and data privacy is integral to digital transformation efforts. With #AI becoming more ingrained in governmental operations, it's imperative to ensure its ethical use and alignment with societal values. Vigilant monitoring and adherence to ethical standards are essential to harnessing AI's potential for enhanced service delivery while upholding principles of #equity and fairness. As we set new benchmarks for technology in #government, how is your organization approaching digital transformation? https://lnkd.in/eUfYwvr6
