Around this time each year, Thales eSecurity releases our annual Data ThreatReport (DTR). Now in its sixth year, the report is squarely focused on digital transformation and what that means for organizations and their data security. The importance of encryption cannot be overstated. Follow her on Twitter @SocialTIS.
As most of us know, IoT devices are on the rise in enterprise networks. According to McKinsey & Company , the proportion of organizations that use IoT products has grown from 13 percent in 2014 to 25 percent today. The issue is that these tens of billions of new devices will likely amplify the inherent security risks of IoT.

Below are six take-aways that encapsulate the essence of the discussion: Our 2019 Thales Data ThreatReport- Federal Edition illustrates that the federal government continues to be under attack!
This dual premise and promise is reflected in our Data ThreatReport-Europe Edition – with over a third (36%) of enterprises stating they are now aggressively disrupting the markets they participate in through a digital transformation project or embedding digital capabilities that enable greater organisational agility. Blockchain.
These vulnerabilities can span from limited use of data encryption to the abuse of privileged user policies. Our annual Thales Data ThreatReport-Federal Edition , released today, found that 98% of federal agencies are storing sensitive data within a digitally transformative environment. Federal Agencies.”
Whether you prioritize cybersecurity or not, cybercriminals will always prioritize (their own) profit, as the attacks described in our 2021 ThreatReport prove. Enterprises that embrace IoT technologies to enhance end-user and employee experiences are likely to turn to MSS providers for quick and effective security […].
As highlighted in the 2019 Thales Data ThreatReport , an increasing number of organizations across the globe are now using sensitive data on digitally transformative technologies like cloud, virtualization, big data, IoT, blockchain, etc. The Way Forward – Choosing the Correct Approach to Data Encryption.
This year’s 2020 Thales Data ThreatReport – Federal Government Edition reveals that as the U.S. federal government aggressively implements cloud, mobile, and the Internet of Things (IoT), a leader relative to the rest of the world – even when compared to the business sector. Breaches remain an issue.
Cyber criminals may damage, destroy, steal, encrypt, expose, or leak data as well as cause harm to a system. The 2022 SonicWall Cyber ThreatReport found that all types of cyberattacks increased in 2021. Encryptedthreats spiked 167%, ransomware increased 105%, and 5.4 Backup and encryption. Ransomware.
In 2021, we witnessed so many competing shifts, many of which we detailed early on in our 2021 BrightCloud® ThreatReport. In particular, we witnessed an increase in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and a surge in the usage of the internet of things (IoT).
The more that new technologies like cloud, big data, Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile payments are used to provide an exceptional customer experience, the bigger the cybersecurity challenge. The report shows that 95 percent of U.S. retailers are implementing encryption in the cloud today. Seventy-five percent of U.S.
Are we protecting our data with end-to-end encryption and effective key management? According to the 2020 Thales Data ThreatReport-Global Edition , half of all corporate data is now stored in cloud environments, and 48% of that data is considered sensitive. Do we have control over who is accessing our data?
Nowadays, any organization is heavily and deeply connected to the Internet: local, distributed and cloud environments, a plethora of machines, devices and Internet of Things (IoTs), and above all, numerous “work from anywhere” employees. Thales’s report showed that MFA is developing as a defensive measure but is not yet widely used.
An incensed population began to demand companies secure their personal information, because the consumerization of the threat was a clear and present danger. Today, with the advent of the IoT, literally everything we do is measured, calibrated, recorded and loaded to a physical or virtual server. Is Ignorance Bliss?
healthcare organizations are nearly universal in the adoption of digital transformation technologies (cloud, SaaS applications, big data, IoT, digital payments, containers, and blockchain). This year’s Thales Data ThreatReport-Healthcare Edition shows that cloud usage in the U.S. But results showed that today, U.S.
Whether offering instant access to patient records, allowing remote diagnosis of treatment, or giving access to lifestyle management and monitoring apps, it’s undeniable that the Internet of Things (IoT) and connected services are revolutionising the healthcare industry.

Ransomware & Data Theft Organizations worldwide continue to feel the pain of ransomware attacks, although many ransomware gangs may be shifting to extortion over data theft instead of encrypted data. The vendor surveys report that: Cisco: Analyzed that 35% of all attacks in 2023 were ransomware.
The 2018 Data ThreatReport commissioned by Thales and conducted by 451 Research revealed 99% of respondents (a sample of 1,200 senior security executives from around the globe) are using or planning to use big data. Industry best practices call for the use of robust encryption solutions to protect sensitive and personal data.
A hacker could broaden their attacks to develop a series of relay servers that are legitimate home servers or IoT controllers and then use those. For example, an IDS may have a rule alert on powershell keyword over HTTP; however, this powershell keyword might appear only inside an encrypted AI response.
According to NBC News, Greene also recommended that Americans use encrypted messaging apps to protect themselves from Salt Typhoon. Thats according to Corvus Insurances Q3 2024 Cyber ThreatReport , which said many of the ransomware attacks in Q3 leveraged outdated VPN software and poorly protected VPN gateways.
This morning we announced, in tandem with our partner 451 Research, the Global Edition of the 2018 Thales Data ThreatReport. It’s abundantly clear that medium to larger enterprises (the focus of the report and underlying survey) are finding it harder than ever to protect their sensitive data. Encrypt the data.
Zero Trust and SDP complement Identity to secure the extended enterprise ecosystem given the rash of supply chain attacks and exponential growth of IoT devices, many of which lack adequate security. Ninety-five percent of cybersecurity breaches are due to human error (Symantec Internet Security ThreatReport).
Increasing the use of advanced IoT devices. The deployment of new devices—especially those categorized as IoT that use wireless networks and sensors to collect and exchange information—is a double-edged sword. and to “… prioritize identification of the unclassified data considered to be the most sensitive and under the greatest threat.
