Security and the SDLC
Remember, you can’t defend against a risk you can’t see. Using SDLC security practices will first and foremost provide risk exposure for your software. In the long run it will also save you time and money.
The Benefits of Two-Factor Authentication
Two-Factor authentication, or 2FA, is a small step that will go a long way in protecting your online accounts.
Glossary of Terms
Carson Inc. wants to help you understand the technical jargon we use every day, so we’ve created a glossary of the most popular terms we use or hear on a daily basis.
Internet of Things: Lack of Security
Due to the highly networked nature of the devices, security needs to be a main focus to the development of the Internet of Things (IoT). Recommendations for security with IoT revolve around training employees, keeping unauthorized users from gaining access, and limiting the amount of collected consumer data and retained information
Internet of Things: Companies & Manufacturers
Phones, computers, laptops, televisions, and even refrigerators can connect to the Internet. With so many devices talking to one another, there is a constant stream of information being shared. But, is there a price for all these devices being interconnected?
Internet of Things: Changing the Workforce
Now that the World Wide Web is essentially being rebuilt, companies are changing the way their workforce commutes, communications, and collaborates.
Measuring Success in Cybersecurity
At Carson Inc., we understand how to develop enterprise risk management architectures, identify vulnerabilities, establish continuous monitoring programs, assess organizational exposure, and implement appropriate preventive measures. It is not simple, but if done right, access, security, and privacy can co-exist to the benefit of all.
Obama Signs Executive Order for Cybersecurity Sanctions
As of Wednesday, April 1, 2015, President Obama signed an executive order for cyber security sanctions. This order follows the order signed in February for unity in cyber security. The new sanctions will take action against cyber-attackers that threaten the United States.
The Benefits and Vulnerabilities of Embedded Devices
Embedded Devices can provide local data management and data distribution capabilities that are safe, efficient, and secure while also being able to analyze, make decisions, and summarize data for other systems.
What CEOs Need to Know About Cybersecurity
Regardless of the level of security you put into place or how many scenarios you have prepared for, you will be hacked. The attacks and breaches are going to occur no matter what you do. However, the rapidity to which you respond to and contain those breaches will be a direct result of how much you have put aside for cyber security.
Thieves Can Hack Your Home Security System
We’ve blogged at length about cyber security and all the ways hackers can break into your networks, computers, emails, etc. We’ve even mentioned the Internet of Things and how it has extended the digital business field by creating new efficiencies and revenue sources.
However, more recently, there has been an increase in potential hacking surfaces like thermostats, toasters, and refrigerators in your home. But, what’s even more dangerous is the threat that lies with devices that aren’t on the Internet: wireless home alarms.
Hospital Security: Medical Devices and Bluetooth
Various studies and research have been done revolving around the lack of security for some medical devices. One of the main problems found lay with embedded web services that allow devices to communicate with one another and feed digital data directly to patient medical records.
Operational Technology – Shared Printer Security Risk
Network printers and copiers are the machines that often handle sensitive documents and information, providing an access route to other computers or networks. Printers have become more complex now able to connect to the Internet, have increased random access memory (RAM), integrated disk drives, and multi-functionality. Each of these is a potential security vulnerability that should be taken more seriously. Below, we’ve highlighted the five main threats to printers as well as how to step up your security for them.
