There is a healthy fear within the cybersecurity community that hackers can exploit security vulnerabilities in medical devices with relative ease, thereby endangering patients and putting a healthcare organization’s data assets at serious risk.
Despite their reputation as brute force attacks, Distributed Denial-of-Service incursions are increasingly diversifying as hackers learn that smaller, more targeted attacks often deliver the anticipated outcomes while going under the radar.
There are many unique challenges involved with securing cloud services. First, data and applications in the cloud are distributed across many services and platforms; each with its own unique set of capabilities, logs and users.

However, as we will discover and despite this approach being a good start, there is substantially more to information security than firewalls and VAPT.
For many children, the excitement of being at school is tempered by caution and worry. While active shooter incidents grab headlines and are terrifying, school bullying is occurring both on and off school campuses every day.
