Cyber Security

In May 2024, a major Australian pension fund, UniSuper, experienced a catastrophic outage when Google Cloud accidentally deleted its entire private cloud account. Managing $125 billion in assets for 620,000 members, the fund was offline for over a week, highlighting the vulnerabilities in depending solely on hyperscaler providers for data protection. This incident serves as a stark reminder for EU and UK organizations about the importance of independent backups, especially as GDPR directives ramp up requirements for demonstrable cyber resilience.

In the fast-evolving world of cybersecurity, traditional Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks are no longer the only concern. A new, more sophisticated threat is rearing its head: Adversary-in-the-Middle (AitM) attacks. These attacks go beyond classic interception techniques, targeting even the most robust security measures, including two-factor authentication (2FA). For organizations, understanding this threat and taking proactive steps is critical. With solutions like those offered by Mindtime Data Security, you can shield your data from these advanced attacks.
