Certificate-based, multi-factor authentication is a mainstay security technique used by the U.S. Federal Government to ensure the identities of entities within a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Two primary components of multi-factor authentication are "what you have"--such as a securely stored private key--and "what you know", a password to unlock access to the securely-stored credentials. For human users, multi-factor authentication is easil...

How FedEX, UPS & DHL Customers were Tricked by an Advanced Phishing Campaign File-borne attacks are on the rise, and 80% of successful breaches are new, unknown, or zero-day attacks that are not recognized by traditional signature-based detection solutions, such as antivirus. An example of this is an April 2020 attack that delivered Dridex ransomware to FedEx, UPS, and DHL customers. Sophisticated phishing emails--cleverly disguised to app...

We are at digital war and data is the target. No organization is immune from data security threats and the US Federal government is no exception. More than half of federal data is now stored in the cloud, and a significant portion is sensitive. Yet, despite this exposure, in the 2020 Thales Data Threat Report 99% of federal government respondents say at least some of their sensitive data in the cloud is not encrypted. IT security departments m...

Historically, organizations have taken a perimeter based approach to cyber security, with the belief that a strong perimeter protected the IT infrastructure behind it. But, as agencies modernize legacy systems and move apps, systems and workloads to the cloud – and more employees, contractors and citizens connect remotely and from multiple devices – something is happening across federal networks; the perimeter is dissolving. Data i...

In modernization efforts across government, agencies are doing more than replacing or updating legacy systems. They are leveraging the cloud and related technologies to make the IT enterprise more efficient, adaptable and scalable. In the process, they are also making the enterprise more diverse and complex, especially as they adopt a multi-cloud approach to delivering access to services and data. Unfortunately, this increased diversity and co...
