Druva: Election Cybersecurity Should Be Addressed with Cloud Voting
…a wide variety of methods to accomplish their goals, and they are capable of leveraging open source and public exploit methods or tools to do what they want, so they don’t have to spend as much time tooling the rest of their attack chain,” he said. “I’d guess their development style is based on pragmatic expediency more than a desire to push the envelope.”
Nucleus Cyber Unleashes Latest NC Protect
Nucleus Cyber, a provider of advanced information protection offerings, has unveiled the latest release of NC Protect with new security features and rapid deployment for Microsoft Teams.
Advanced information barriers, security scopes, private channels and guest access controls simplify and enhance out-of-the box security. This prevents data loss, misuse and unauthorized access to, and sharing of business-critical information in Microsoft Teams files and chats.
Kurt Mueffelmann is Nucleus Cyber’s CEO. He said many organizations rushed to deploy Microsoft Teams as remote working gripped the nation. And corners were cut when it came to security of the information within Teams, he said.
“Partners are now able to offer customers an advanced information protection solution for new or existing Teams and other Office 365 app deployments without expensive licensing, upgrades or complex rules,” he said. “NC Protect is designed to be deployed and administered in a simpler, easier and more cost-effective manner than native tools. It also allows customers to feel confident that they have appropriate control over the files, chats and channels within each Team site.”
Microsoft Teams has seen explosive growth from 20 million to over 75 million users in the past few months to support remote work. However, a recent survey shows data loss has spiked in the wake of remote work. This stems from downloads of classified company information, and increases in files being shared in chats and messages.
Seventy-four percent of companies surveyed by Gartner plan to permanently shift some of their personnel to remote work. This presents a long-term information security challenge for many organizations.
“NC Protect is built on and leverages existing Microsoft security investments to get advanced information protection without the complex and time-consuming administration experience of native tools,” Mueffelmann said. “It provides partners with the opportunity to more easily and cost effectively ensure a secure Teams deployment, which is a key concern of most companies rolling out the platform.”
