Despite spending tens of billions of dollars on cybersecurity, there’s been no shortage of headlines about massive security breaches. But while most security companies focus on how the breach happened, they’re missing a critical part of the story. They’re not talking about what’s being targeted in order to get to the data. The fact is, most breaches ultimately leverage compromised identities, stolen passwords or privileged access. Access that’s essential to the modern boundaryless enterprise and to the way work gets done today. So, it stands to reason that when it comes to breaches, all roads lead to identity.
Time and time again we see large-scale breaches taking place that would have been completely mitigated through the removal of admin rights. Yet, seemingly for the sake of ease and access, many organizations continue to grant a large majority of their employees full administrator privileges.
To satisfy data privacy and security requirements, Molina adopted data-masking practices from Delphix to secure protected health information (PHI) data in non-production environments.

On the day in 2015 when A.J. Murray, the United States IT Manager for Hayward Tyler Group PLC, realized that cyber thieves had hijacked a large amount of important data using a variant of the Cryptolocker ransomware, he understood immediately that the potential downside was enormous.

Privacy of personal information has always been seen as a fundamental right by the citizens of the European Union (EU). However, this right is one that is constantly challenged by ongoing technological developments and international business practices, particularly with more personal information being stored and transmitted electronically. In response, the EU passed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which was adopted on April 27, 2016, and will become enforceable on May 25, 2018.
