ENCSecurity markets a file encryption system, and it's used by SanDisk, Sony, Lexar, and probably others. Despite it using AES as its algorithm, it's implementation is flawed in multiple ways-and breakable.
Stop significant B2B or B2C information sharing problems with a tailored approach to encryption. The security of our data is, without question, at the top of any enterprise's priority list.
Proposed Europe regulations that purport to curb child abuse by imposing mass surveillance would be a "Disaster" for digital privacy and strong encryption, say cybersecurity experts. A number of options have been put forward for lawmakers to mull that aim to encourage or ensure online service providers and messaging apps tackle the "Detection, removal, and reporting of previously-known and new child sexual abuse material and grooming."
US president Joe Biden issued two directives on Wednesday aimed at ensuring the nation - and like-minded friends - remain ahead of other countries in the field of quantum computing. The committee is an enhancement to the National Quantum Initiative Act - a 2018 law that provides $1.2 billion and a plan for advancing quantum tech.
Echoworx's release of a commissioned study conducted on their behalf by Forrester Consulting reveals the evolution of email security strategies and the importance of user experience. Echoworx provides email encryption solutions that are smarter and more adaptive.
"In a future release of Windows 11 you're going to see significant security updates that add even more protection from the chip to the cloud by combining modern hardware and software," said David Weston, VP for Enterprise & OS Security. One of the new security features Microsoft is adding in Windows 11 is enhanced phishing protection against targeted phishing attacks with the help of Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, a cloud-based anti-phishing and anti-malware service.
Once someone develops a suitable quantum computer, the owner could break any system reliant on current public-key encryption. China has made quantum technology part of their current five-year plan and is known to have developed functional quantum systems to detect stealth aircraft and submarines, and have deployed quantum communication with satellites.
LockBit beats REvil and Ryuk in Splunk's ransomware encryption speed test. Splunk researchers put 10 ransomware variants to a speed test to help network defenders improve their security strategies.
Researchers have conducted a technical experiment, testing ten ransomware variants to determine how fast they encrypt files and evaluate how feasible it would be to timely respond to their attacks. Ransomware is malware that enumerates the files and directories on a compromised machine, selects valid encryption targets, and then encrypts the data, so it is unavailable without a corresponding decryption key.
Moscow-based meat producer and distributor Miratorg Agribusiness Holding has suffered a major cyberattack that encrypted its IT systems, according to a report from Rosselkhoznadzor - the Russian federal veterinary and phytosanitary supervision service. The announcement notes that the attackers leveraged the Windows BitLocker feature to encrypt files, essentially performing a ransomware attack.
