Zero Trust is a Misnomer—All Attacks Come from Inside

Last year, the Biden administration issued an executive order, and later additional guidance, aimed at improving the nation’s cybersecurity. Agencies are now required to deploy Zero Trust architectures by 2024. As things go in government, so they tend to go in the private sector. Zero Trust is, therefore, the cybersecurity buzzword of the day.

Quantifying Cyber Risk: The Unsolvable Math Problem

Organizations are continually striving to assess and mitigate their cybersecurity risk, working to minimize the likelihood that their brand name will be splashed across newspapers nationwide because they’ve fallen prey to a high-profile hack. In cybersecurity, at least the way it is currently practiced, risk is not quantifiable.

Application Security or Application-Level Data Security: What’s the Difference?

We’re pretty mission-driven here at Absio. We believe there is a real problem (or problems) in cybersecurity that reaches back to the first computers. We’re eager to help organizations resolve the issues that arise when sensitive data created or processed by software doesn’t enjoy full-lifecycle protection. A big part of the solution to today’s seemingly endless cybersecurity breaches and privacy infringements is to reengineer applications to adequately, reliably, and automatically protect data, by default and by design.

With Privacy: Do or Do Not, There Is No ‘Try’

A recent Associated Press poll indicates that most Americans think their personal information is vulnerable online. What’s more, 71% of Americans believe that individuals’ data privacy should be treated as a national security issue. In other words, the American people get it: data privacy and security are sadly lacking across the digital ecosystem and consumers are suffering the consequences.

The Physicality of Data And the Road to Inherently Safer Authentication

Two different classes of identifiers must be tested to reliably authenticate things and people: assigned identifiers, such as names, addresses and social security numbers, and some number of physical characteristics. For example, driver’s licenses list assigned identifiers (name, address and driver’s license number) and physical characteristics (picture, age, height, eye and hair color and digitized fingerprints). Authentication requires examining both the license and the person to verify the match. Identical things are distinguished by unique assigned identities such as a serial number. For especially hazardous or valuable things, we supplement authentication with checking provenance — proof of origin and proof tampering hasn’t occurred.

What Constitutes Data Ownership and Why You Don’t Own Your Data

In previous blogs, we discussed the fact that data is physical and inherently controllable. Much like I can move a candy bar from the left side of my keyboard to the right, leave it there in anticipation, and slap away a hand intent on stealing it, it’s possible to physically control where data goes, where it remains at rest, and who can access it. What does this say about data ownership? Quite a bit, as it turns out.

Data Security Where It Matters Most: At the Beginning

In every field of engineering, there is a grace period when the engineers doing the heroic work of making a complex and highly valuable new technology work can escape liability for poor performance, failures, or damages caused by what they build. That grace erodes as the technology becomes commonplace.  Eventually, usually through a combination of litigation, legislation, regulation, and evolving insurance requirements, liability and responsibility for failure starts being pinned to the engineers who designed and built the failed system.
