Cyber Security Predictions 2021: Experts’ Responses

Organisations will move beyond the mindset of ‘complete security’, to focus on strengthening their cyber resilience.
Cyber resilience is an organisation’s ability to prepare for, respond to and recover quickly from any digital disruption. We anticipate a marked rise in criminal attacks in 2021, as hackers take advantage of people continuing to work remotely – in particular ransomware, malware and phishing. Recognising that no business is immune, IT teams will shift focus to ensuring they have all their ducks in the row in the event of a breach. They’ll also prioritise planning to mitigate the impact.....Read More
Cyber resilience is an organisation’s ability to prepare for, respond to and recover quickly from any digital disruption. We anticipate a marked rise in criminal attacks in 2021, as hackers take advantage of people continuing to work remotely – in particular ransomware, malware and phishing. Recognising that no business is immune, IT teams will shift focus to ensuring they have all their ducks in the row in the event of a breach. They’ll also prioritise planning to mitigate the impact of any future crisis that drives the workforce out of the office! We expect to see an increase in encryption, to protect data as it’s moved from office to home – mitigating risks such as targeting in the cloud – and keep information secure whatever’s happening around it. There will also be a rise in endpoint controls that enable employees to use their own devices safely. These measures give organisations the ability to demonstrate transparency and due diligence in the event of a breach. The use of secure, encrypted storage devices as a straightforward way of backing up data locally is likely to increase, supporting the ability to get up and running again fast.  Read Less

75,000 ‘Deleted’ Files Found On Discarded USB Drives

This is a prime example of user error and the risks of not encrypting sensitive data
This is a prime example of user error and the risks of not encrypting sensitive data. The researchers who purchased these devices used \"publicly-available tools\" to easily retrieve the sensitive information.

This is a prime example of user error and the risks of not encrypting sensitive data. The researchers who purchased these devices used \"publicly-available tools\" to easily retrieve the sensitive information. If these devices had been encrypted, or even better, if they were encrypted with a reset and/or “self-destruct” feature that removes the encryption key when executed, the data could not have been accessed. Any USB device that contains files determined to be of \"high sensitivity\", should always we encrypted. Without encryption, the end result is that if these devices are lost, stolen, or in this case, sold, they could very easily land in unscrupulous hands with serious repercussions. Whether it be personal data, intellectual property or corporate sensitive information, simply using encrypted USB devices will ensure that even when files are deleted, these cannot be retrieved and the contents remain obscured and inaccessible.  Read Less
