Cyber Security

Breaches to enterprise data and information are making news with troubling regularity these days. Businesses of all sizes need to be aware of their security status, plans for handling breaches if they occur, and how to mitigate the risk of exposure for the company if it happens. I talked to two experts on the subject, David Katz, partner with Nelson, Mullins, Riley, and Scarborough, and Brian Mikes, VP with Marsh USA, a highly-regarded insurance company that has expertise in cyber security.

David and Brian shared information on the importance of having a plan of action in place for businesses large and small, for the necessary steps to take in the case of an actual breach of an enterprise’s network or data. They emphasized how vital it is to have such a plan in place well in advance of problems occurring. Given the variations in legal requirements for how to handle information breaches when they occur it is essential that the enterprise secures the expertise of a legal consultant familiar with the various laws affecting such data breaches.

Brian explained some of the nuances of risk reduction and policies designed to protect the business in the event data breaches do occur. We also got into the steps to take if it is discovered that a company’s network or data has been compromised.

David and Brian discussed some of the typical areas of weakness they discover when engaging businesses to evaluate their cyber security plan, policies, and procedures. With the extent of the internet of things, devices connected to the internet via networks, and vendor portals, there are a host of points of entry for hackers and other bad guys looking to engage in nefarious activities by penetrating an enterprise’s network.

Cyber Security

Jay and I hosted Steve Robb, SVP of Security Marketing & Product Strategy of ControlScan, a firm that specializes in information and network security for enterprises, including healthcare organizations. With the rise of “smart” devices of all kinds that have sensors that communicate with applications via networks and/or internet, there are now a myriad of entry-points for persons intent on nefarious activity to access a company’s network.

We’ve all heard the news stories about major firms, including the US government, who have had their networks and data compromised by hackers, causing millions of people to be exposed to identity and financial theft. As technology has continued to evolve rapidly, it is difficult for enterprises to be able to afford to recruit and retain security experts with sufficient breadth of knowledge to truly secure a business’s information as well as it could be.

Atlanta-based ControlScan brings a unified approach to security and compliance solutions, enabling organizations

to better protect sensitive data while making compliance easier to achieve and maintain. ControlScan’s combination of professional services and Managed Security Services delivers a full security lifecycle – from Security Risk Assessments to identify gaps, through HIPAA and PCI compliance analysis, to ongoing management and monitoring of security measures.

Steve shared some great information about some of the various sources of risk to networks that exist today, along with things the enterprise should be considering regarding how secure their information actually is. The ControlScan team can provide thorough evaluations of security protocols and measures and identify weaknesses that can be shored up. Additionally, the company provides outsourced security managed services that gives the client access to a high-level security team for less than it costs to employ one outright.

SAFEGUARDING YOUR DATA: Olivia Rose Jenkins with QloudSecure

00:00 /

On this episode of “On the Money”, host Joe Moss talks to Olivia Rose Jenkins from QloudSecure about how cyber threats and online security breaches can affect a small business and how to monitor them.

Olivia Rose Jenkins/QloudSecure

QloudSecure was founded by Olivia Rose Jenkins in 2016 to address the concerns of law firms about exposure to the risks of data breaches, leakage, theft and subsequent liabilities. QloudSecure is a technology consulting services company, offering law firms the strategy, guidance and support they need to migrate to, and continually to successfully operate on, a centralized cloud computing infrastructure. This type of infrastructure offers a turn-key solution for law firms’ explicit needs.

Olivia has over 15 years’ experience in the cybersecurity field with the last ten years as a consultant helping organizations achieve and maintain best security practices to safeguard their assets and comply with regulatory and industry requirements. A love of using technology as an enabler for clients to achieve and exceed their business goals led to an interest in cloud computing.

One of the foremost concerns of a law firm is the threats of exposure, and understandably so due to the following reasons:

• Legacy IT systems are widely in use.

• Data has become more disparate across multiple locations and systems.

• Employees blur the lines between personal and corporate technologies.

• Security awareness is lacking among firm employees and third-parties

• There is a shortage of qualified IT staff to manage it all.

These issues are also very present at any type of small business.

QloudSecure has a proprietary six step process to help you close gaps for good called QloudPrint. It includes discovering your risk, assessing the potential business impact, designing a plan to close the gaps, deploying your security controls and even providing policies and procedures you can use, educating your employees on best security practices to reduce potential going forward, and then managing it for you if you don’t have access to a good IT resource. Everything is customized to your specific environment and tailored towards small to medium law firms.
