Company gets hacked into. These days stories like are pure man bites dog (no surprise here), but what did interest me here (a la man bites dog) is the fact that investigators involved suspect that the hack may have been an inside job. It’s refreshing to see that insider threats are getting some spotlight, and hence the awareness level of this type of enterprise threat will increase.
Ok, marketing hat on now (skip the rest of this post if you really want to). This is the exact threat that our LOCKBOX Data Protection Platform aims to solve (the site is still under development so please excuse the temporary mess). Our LOCKBOX system secures data in such a way that only the owner of a virtual LOCKBOX (i.e. you) can access the data inside that LOCKBOX. Even we, the developers and maintainers of LOCKBOX, can’t access data that have been placed inside someone’s LOCKBOX, which would have mitigated a risk of some internal going rogue.
Anyhow, again it’s great to see threats like these are coming to light more and more.
