The Silent Data Problem in Hospitals

We’ve all been there: a temporary file created for a claim gets saved and forgotten. Ten years later, that "temporary" file is a massive liability. Stephen Bader from Powers Health shares how they are tackling sensitive data sprawl. It’s not malicious; it’s just how work happens. But identifying and securing that PHI is a multi-year project every healthcare system needs to start today. Hear how Powers Health is cleaning up their data footprint with Josh Howell.

How to Protect Backups from Ransomware with NAKIVO's Malware Scan

Backups have become a primary target for ransomware. Hackers want to ensure that companies pay the ransom by not allowing them to recover their data independently. With NAKIVO Backup & Replication, you get several features (for example, immutable backup targets) to ensure that once created, a backup cannot be infected or corrupted with a new ransomware infection.

Alert: WhatsApp Phishing Campaign Delivers Malware

A new phishing campaign is using WhatsApp messages to deliver malware, according to researchers at Microsoft. The attackers are attempting to trick users into installing malicious Visual Basic Script (VBS) files. “The campaign relies on a combination of social engineering and living-off-the-land techniques,” Microsoft says.

The Three-Layer Strategy for Autonomous Agent Governance with Joe Hladik and Amit Malik

The race for AI dominance has created a dangerous imbalance between business velocity and cyber resilience. In this episode, host Caleb Tolin is joined by ⁠Joe Hladik⁠, Head of ⁠Rubrik⁠ Zero Labs, and Staff Security Researcher ⁠Amit Malik⁠ to break down the findings of their latest report on agentic adoption. The discussion centers on the Agentic Paradox. This is the technical reality that tools designed to automate high-level tasks are inherently built to find the most efficient path around obstacles, including existing security policies.

Ep 39: This is your first ransomware attack, not ours

On this episode of Masters of Data, we sat down with Steven Manley, CTO of Druva, to get the unfiltered truth about ransomware: it's not a matter of if you'll be breached, but when, and bad actors are now launching hundreds of attacks at a surprisingly low cost. We dig into why attackers lurk undetected for 200-plus days, how AI is being weaponized for everything from eerily convincing voice phishing to secretly training your own AI systems against you, and why your most protected assets are rarely what gets hit first.

Mitigating Advanced Persistent Threats with Cyber Security

The financial stakes of a modern cyberattack are higher than ever, threatening not just data, but the very survival of your company. According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach 2024 report, the average cost of a data breach for companies has reached $4.9 million. This staggering figure factors in devastating operational downtime, lost business, and expensive post-breach responses. It is a harsh reality that forces IT leaders to rethink their entire approach to digital safety.

Prioritized Recovery for Object Storage: Restore what matters most, first!

Diving Into Quasar RAT: TTPs, IoCs and more

Quasar, crafted in the C# programming language, is a publicly accessible and open-source Remote Access Trojan (RAT) designed for Microsoft Windows operating systems (OSs). This creation comes courtesy of the GitHub user MaxXor and resides as a publicly hosted repository on GitHub. While its utility extends to legitimate applications like enabling remote assistance from an organization’s helpdesk technician, Quasar is being exploited by APT actors for cybercrime and cyber espionage endeavors.
