A commissioned study highlights the often-overlooked need for Teams backup and security. The survey revealed that almost half of the users (45%) often send confidential and critical information via the platform. Internal corporate communication via chat has...

Backups serve to protect against data loss. If an original is lost, you still have a copy to be on the safe side, as a “backup”. Backing up data could be that easy in a world free of ransomware and natural disasters. But nowadays IT managers have to think a lot more. FAST LTA shows you what a secure, reliable and affordable backup strategy looks like. Ransomware changes the focus of data protection from backup to recovery. Ransomware encrypts user data so that access is no longer possible. The result: IT stands still, which leads to high costs due to failure, recovery and the…

Zero Trust: Paradigm Shift in Cybersecurity

Never trust, always verify – the “Zero Trust” security model follows this motto. No actor wishing to access resources is trusted. Rather, each individual access requires authentication. Time for a paradigm shift in cybersecurity. A comment from Sebastian Ganschow, Director Cybersecurity Solutions at NTT Ltd. The thinking behind Zero Trust is simple: implicit trust is itself a vulnerability that attackers can exploit for lateral movement and access to sensitive data. Because the fortress – i.e. the company network – has not been impregnable for a long time. Data…

New Kaspersky study shows the state of the mobile threat landscape in 2021. Attackers focus on bank and gaming account credentials.
