The 2024 Thales Data Threat Report highlights the unique security challenges faced by U.S. Federal agencies. This report reveals new cybersecurity strategies as well as key differences between ...

Databases are key targets for hackers looking to steal data. However, there is insufficient emphasis by the MITRE ATT&CK Framework on the Collection tactic regarding access of data from a database. Hackers collect data through eavesdropping/man in the middle attacks of data in transit, by capturing data at the ...

With recent vulnerabilities such as EUCLEAK and Executive Order 14028 deadlines, phishing-resistant Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is top-of-mind in ...

Although federal agencies are deploying cloud solutions at a rapid pace, they are often hesitant to move their core cryptographic infrastructure to the cloud—namely their roots of trust. Hardware security modules (HSMs) are used as a root of trust and generate, store, protect, and manage cryptographic ...

High speed networks are the critical foundation that supports many of an agency’s most vital communications and operations. However, this foundation is at risk of surveillance and attack by increasingly sophisticated cyber criminals and well-funded nation states. These network connections, if unprotected, are proving to ...

Sensitive data stored in HPE deployments must be encrypted edge-to-cloud. For encryption to successfully secure sensitive data, the cryptographic keys used to encrypt/decrypt data must be secured, managed and controlled by the data owner. Thales TCT’s CipherTrust Data Security Platform unifies data encryption ...

Ongoing government-wide zero trust implementations exemplify the fact that traditional end-point and perimeter-based security are not enough to protect valuable data. Enter data-centric security, which offers CISOs transformative opportunities to fortify data protection, compliance adherence and operational ...

Stateful hash-based signature (HBS) schemes are digital signature schemes believed to be resistant to the threat posed by a cryptographically relevant quantum computer. NSA’s CNSA 2.0 encourages vendors to adopt stateful HBS schemes as defined in SP 800-208 immediately for all software and firmware code signing, with a ...

Quantum computing’s impact is likely to be large—the potential computational power could render today’s encryption algorithms obsolete. The White House’s National Security Memorandum on Promoting US Leadership in Quantum Computing While Mitigating Risks to Vulnerable Cryptographic Systems states that ...

Buzzword tracking is overwhelming. From AI to Quantum, it can be challenging for federal agencies to stay on top of the latest trends and understand how they apply to existing and future cyber security strategies. On the first installment of Thales TCT’s CTO Sessions Webcast Series for 2024, ...
