While October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, organizations should take care every day of every month to ensure that their data is protected while in use, at rest, and in motion. In today’s entry to the DataMotion Blog, we’re creating a cybersecurity toolkit for you with blog posts, whitepapers, and other resources for you to use year-round, as well as a quick summary of how DataMotion keeps your data secure while helping your organization enable compliance.
Suiting Up for Battle
Below are a few entries to the DataMotion blog that will help inform your security outlook and arm your team in the battle against internal and external security threats. This section will include a guide to the zero-trust security model, a series outlining where vulnerabilities may lie within your organization, and a look at the troubling rise of Ransomware as a Service.
DataMotion: A Zero Trust Model You Can Trust “Your organization has trusted but verified, perhaps verified then trusted. But is the ‘trust but verify’ standard enough? Are you really operating as safely as you could, or rather, should be in today’s cyber climate?” In this post to the DataMotion Blog, DataMotion CEO Bob Janacek dives into the zero-trust security model, why you should adopt it, and how this helps our customers stay secure.
Danger for Data “In the first part of this blog series, we will cover the top five risk-prone areas that developers and software engineers should be aware of. In parts two and three, we’ll focus on some of the people-oriented processes putting you at risk of a breach, following up with some actionable tips and recommendations for organizations to protect themselves and their customers’ data.” In this series, DataMotion CEO Bob Janacek explored where vulnerabilities may lie within your organization, and steps you can take today to protect your organization and your data.

While larger enterprises are currently the favorite for cyberattacks, smaller organizations also fall victim.” In this three-part series to the DataMotion Blog, DataMotion Developer Advocate Heather Post offers an overview of Ransomware as a Service, how this growing industry can turn your vendors into risk factors, the costs of a cyberattack, and what you can do about it.
