Multi-factor authentication

On March 31, 2016, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) started a nationwide campaign to warn against the dangers faced by the U.S. utilities against the cyberattacks. According to DHS, there were an estimated 331 hacks or physical attacks against the U.S. power grid from 2011 to 2014. As of February 2016, they are occurring at a rate of once every 4 days. “A major cyberattack on the U.S. electric grid could cause over $1 trillion in economic

institutions continues to be challenged by the inherent risks that are associated to the loss of customer data through the compromise of security controls. As Information Security continues to grow, the lack of effective security controls such as authentication continues to one of the key components leading to data breaches across all industries. For this purpose, SecureKey contracted with a leading independent security governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) firm Coalfire Systems, Inc., to

A guide to evaluating voice and SMS API providers for two-factor authentication solutions Introduction Today, users of online services are very familiar with the process of typing in a username and password, to securely access their accounts. Passwords however, are no longer considered very safe, as they can be easily stolen, sniffed, guessed, or obtained through methods such as phishing and malware attacks. Even strong and complicated passwords are susceptible to theft and therefore not the best

restricted 24 hours per day by job function so that only essential personnel have access to customer applications and services. Physical access control uses multiple authentication and security processes, including badges and smart cards, biometric scanners, on-premises security officers, continuous video surveillance, and two-factor authentication. The data centers are monitored using motion sensors, video surveillance, and security breach alarms. Security in the event of natural disaster includes seismically

Sources of vulnerabilities can come from internal and external attack vectors; it can also stem from lack of knowledge. Free and open source software offer significate benefits to an organization, which can also pose a risk that can allow attackers to gain access to vital information on the network server. Many security professionals use open source software to fast-track transport of digital content. Open source application has many drawbacks, the fact that public source application is free for

Identification theft sufferers grows everyday including the number of occurrences that call for computer forensics investigation in mandate to resolution this kinds of wrongdoing. Computer forensic investigation deals with identify theft but they have a process and steps to follow that also deals with the chain of custody. Introduction Identification theft along with digital proof have a series of mandate that’s goes along successfully with computer forensics investigation. The concerns

In 2013, technology giant Adobe Corporation faced the biggest security disaster in its history; computer hackers stole three million customer credit card records including source codes from various Adobe products. This disaster shows what may happen to technology companies and how they may face reputational challenge as well as financial risk if computer system is not secured. Security disasters between Adobe and cloud computing environments have numerous differences. Security disasters in cloud
