Protect data from Double Extortion Ransomware

Double-extortion attacks are increasing: The attack not only encrypts the data and extorts a ransom, but also steals data that will be published if payment is not made. These attacks pose challenges for companies and pose major financial risks. More than half (57 percent) of the companies surveyed in Germany paid a ransom for encrypted data after a ransomware attack, according to figures from the latest Zero Labs Report. Only 24 percent of them were able to recover all data using the attackers' decryption tools after payment. Even more annoying: collecting a ransom once is enough for…

IT administration: too little data security in medium-sized companies

In many medium-sized companies, not only the IT administrator has unrestricted access to all operational data, but also the IT-savvy trainee. If he later leaves the company, he often retains his access rights because nobody thinks about it, explains data security specialist Detlef Schmuck. The granular IT authorization systems that are common in large companies are often saved in medium-sized companies for cost reasons. In essence, each user is only granted those access rights to databases that are absolutely necessary for the respective workplace. "However, the management of individual access authorizations requires a lot of effort, especially since there is always a tendency on the user side to have more...

Pay attention to data security when changing cloud providers

It is not uncommon for companies to consider changing cloud providers because of service offerings or because of economic aspects. However, in addition to many valid reasons, data protection should always play an important role in the decision. There are many reasons for companies to switch cloud providers, whether from or to large or smaller providers. One of the more common reasons, in addition to the different range of services, is certainly the pricing of the cloud providers. For example, Microsoft has introduced significant price increases for its cloud services in the euro area since April 2023, which could prompt companies to consider switching providers. Out of…

Zero trust when it comes to patient data

Wherever data needs to be protected, the Zero Trust principle is an indispensable security approach - especially in the healthcare sector. Cyber ​​attacks are increasing rapidly there. As healthcare organizations continue to go digital, one thing has become clear: the well-being of patients cannot come first if the digital systems that support them are compromised. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the frequency of cyberattacks on hospitals and healthcare systems will more than double between 2016 and 2021. Research by Check Point Software Technologies confirms this trend and shows that…

Digital safe for the boss

In the digital age, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the bosses of medium-sized companies to keep confidential files under lock and key without making themselves dependent on the IT specialists in the company. A digital boss safe can help. The boss safe that was common in the old days is of no use today because the documents are all digital and therefore cannot simply be locked away. Many bosses, especially in medium-sized companies, find it very difficult to blindly trust the IT administrator, a trainee or an external service company who can view all data on the company server without limitation. TeamDrive solves this dilemma...

Network security configuration error hackers

Even if cyber criminals and hackers use increasingly sophisticated attack techniques to break into company networks, security breaches can often be traced back to avoidable, often overlooked misconfigurations. In order not to open the door to hackers to sensitive data and IT environments, here are the five most common configuration errors that companies should avoid. 1. Standard credentials Unconfigured standard user names and passwords for devices, databases, and installations are comparable to leaving the key in a locked door. Even hobby hackers can cause extensive damage to a company with the help of freely available tools. Standard login data on network devices such as ...
