Connectivity is soaring and digital transformation is accelerating, making it critical for the technology community, governments and corporate boardrooms to invest in digital trust. As digital transformation has continued to accelerate, digital trust has become an essential requirement of online operations.
A single forgotten, abandoned or unknown digital asset is a cybersecurity timebomb. Effective digital asset management - including IP address visibility - is your foundation to thwart an attacker's path of least resistance into your network.
"Our research reveals that digital twin deployments are being driven by both top and bottom lines, as well as safety, sustainability and brand reputation," the Reflecting Reality - Digital Twins: Adding Intelligence to the Real World study said. Operators can input changes into the digital twin and have those changes reflected in the real world or real-world inputs can be represented in the digital twin alerting operations teams to potential problems with shipments, machines, production, business processes and the like.
Due to SaaS, in 2021 the number of cybercriminals in one scam gang increased 10 times compared to 2020 and now reaches 100. In 2021, scams were the most common type of cybercrime.
Network engineers and CIOs agree that cybersecurity issues represent the biggest risk for organizations that fail to put networks at the heart of digital transformation plans. According to a research commissioned by Opengear, 53% of network engineers and 52% of CIOs polled in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, and Australia rank cybersecurity among the list of their biggest risks.
New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, launched its DDL program in 2019, and as of 2021 officials there said that slightly more than half of the state's eight million people use the "Service NSW" app that displays the DDL and offers access to many other government services. "The DDL is hosted securely on the new Service NSW app, locks with a PIN and can be accessed offline. It will provide additional levels of security and protection against identity fraud, compared to the plastic driver licence," NSW Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said in 2019 when the service launched.
Locks that use Bluetooth Low Energy to authenticate keys are vulnerable to remote unlocking. The research focused on Teslas, but the exploit is generalizable.
Organizations across every industry are experiencing a wave of innovation driven by digital transformation and the significant volume and diversity of devices coming online. Not all of these devices are built with security in mind which subsequently opens up organizations to new vulnerabilities and risks.
Despite banks working to improve online security protocols, consumers must also do their part in taking advantage of enhanced security features to keep their accounts safe. Since banks strive to make the digital banking experience as intuitive and frictionless as possible for users, this can also present an opportunity for hackers to access unwitting consumers' bank accounts.
The vulnerability, which Oracle patched on Tuesday, affects the company's implementation of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm in Java versions 15 and above. ECDSA is an algorithm that uses the principles of elliptic curve cryptography to authenticate messages digitally.
