Active Cypher: "great deal of orchestration of our intelligence in AI into existing systems" - E Hacking News Hacker News and IT Security News

In most of the hospitals and medical environments, their IT staff lacked the sophistication to understand what was happening. Earlier, the attackers were not really trying to damage the data, they were trying to ransom it and return it. Now what the attackers are doing is, that they are actually getting into the environment and not going after the data because most of the hospitals have upgraded their capabilities along with using our products. Now, the hackers are attacking the IoT (internet of things) at the device level, which is more life-threatening. What we have done to help healthcare institutions is basically putting a “Data Guard” which is the stand-alone ransomware product on devices. 

How do you handle the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and Privacy requirements when it’s the home environment? 

With “Data Guard,” the way the product is designed, it can be installed on a consumer device. In that environment it allows people to protect what they have like personal data or business data that they have on their device is protected. And that’s the simplicity of Data Guard, is the fact that it protects your device and the files on it and ensures that ransomware can’t launch successfully.  

 

With cyberattacks rising, is there any advice you can give to our readers on cybersecurity? 

Everybody has to be aware, you don’t have to be afraid. With the stress of work, particularly with this remote work environment, the user has to be more diligent. So, ease of use and awareness are probably the keys to maintaining good data hygiene.
