Health insurer takes years to discover data breach
iSpeech
With the health care sector rated as the second most targeted industry for cybercrime, the hacking of health insurer Excellus BCBS isn't surprising. The time to detection is what organizations should be worried about.
Hi, and welcome to the CloudMask video blog!
In the first weeks of September, news broke that Excellus BlueCross BlueShield became the latest data breach victim. Reportedly, hackers gained unauthorized access to over 10 million personal records.
Even worse, InformationWeek noted that the cybercriminals were inside corporate IT systems since December 2013.
The time to discovery of this data breach indicates a wider trend that traditional cybersecurity solutions are failing.
Organizations, must understand the need for data protection via encryption. This way, data has a last line of defense.
CloudMask can protect data with encryption, as well as give users control over their key, ensuring that even the longest unauthorized intrusion doesn't result in a breach.
With CloudMask, infrastructure breaches no longer mean data breaches. Insecure clouds and mobile devices no longer mean insecure enterprise data. And an insider with access to applications and systems can no longer see data.
