Data breaches can take an awful toll on companies of every size, sometimes evening taking them out of business entirely. A significant data breach will cost you money, customers, and your public reputation, which is why taking data security is critical to your business’ success.
Today we want to share three stories from the data security industry to keep you in-the-know of today's top manufacturers and their efforts to improve data security:
Internet Of Things
In the modern office, there are many devices and systems used to share information with different departments and employees. These systems include emails, calendars, downloads, uploads, and more, through laptops, desktops, and smart devices. Hackers know that these devices have streamlined office processes and often target them to gain information and data.
A practical solution to this threat is Cisco’s Identity Services Engine, which is compatible with more than 200 Xerox printers. This solution helps ensure that proper security measures are in place to protect document sharing in your office.
A New Security Standard
Not many companies receive Common Criteria Certification for their products or solutions. That is why it is so significant that Xerox has received one of the industry’s top achievements for their security features on their multifunction printers.
Motivation of Cybercriminals
Money is the number one motivation for cybercriminals. McAfee researchers recently underwent an examination of ransomware hackers, where the hackers were contacted to attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the financial motives behind these cybercriminals. Through these conversations, they learned that these cybercriminals were interested in travel, cars, and paying off debt. They also discovered that most were willing to negotiate the different ransom costs and that cybercriminals got involved in ransomware because it is a low risk, high reward crime.
