In the movie Apollo 13, three astronauts returning to Earth are unaware of their perilous reentry. Back in Houston at Mission Control, chief flight director Gene Kranz (played by Ed Harris) comments on the unfortunate events, saying: "Is there anything they can do about it?"

You can’t unbreach data. <-- H2

The biggest security risk businesses face is lasting damage, which happens when data is lost or stolen. Worldwide data creation is expected to surpass 180 zettabytes between 2020 and 2025, and today's global shortage of 3.4 million cybersecurity workers means there aren't enough highly skilled employees—making it critical that automation doesn't just move bottlenecks around by introducing new or complex staffing requirements.

Attackers know that you can rebuild your cloud infrastructure or replace a laptop but that you can't "unbreach" data, so they turn your digital assets into a liability and threaten to leak or encrypt them unless you pay. Motivated attackers continue to find new ways to penetrate defenses along a swollen attack surface that's bloated from the pandemic due to more hybrid work, cloud services and remote devices. Some malicious actors have even learned how to turn employees into insider threats—the most dangerous threats of all.

To create a branch, use the git branch command followed by the name of the branch. After making the branch, use git branch again to view available branches.

Notice that creating a branch this way does not automatically switch to the new branch. Git uses an asterisk and a different colored font to identify which branch is active. This designation represents the HEAD pointer showing which branch is active.

With so much money to be made, attackers are not going to quit. Your mission is to make your cyber defenses just as resilient as the ransomware gangs. Here are four ways to make your organization more resilient to data-related threats:

  1. Check for weak and reused passwords and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). This critical step is one of the simplest steps you can take to protect your company. The BlackMatter gang (and other groups) are known to grab user names and passwords found in data breach dumps on the dark web. They try out every credential in an attempt to brute-force internet-facing systems and gain access.
  2. Be on alert for unusual activity. If your company is like most, your employees and contractors stick to daily work schedules, access the same files and use the same devices from known locations. Unusual activity — like logging in from a new location and accessing files that are not needed for work — can indicate compromised accounts or devices. Unusual activity, especially if it is associated with administrative and service accounts, should be investigated with high priority.
  3. Watch your data for signs of ransomware attacks. Ransomware doesn’t behave like your HR specialist or your accounting team. When ransomware is deployed, it will rapidly begin to encrypt files it can touch. The account activity may be associated with an employee, but it could be a compromised user account. An automated ransomware program will usually touch and change files sequentially and quickly, behaving differently than a human user.
  4. Take a data-first approach. Even with the explosion of endpoints, most data now syncs with and “lives in” large, centralized repositories on-prem and in the cloud. Since there are so many vectors to get to your data, even if you could anticipate and monitor them all, you’d drown in security alerts. Instead of starting from the outside in with all the endpoints and vectors, it’s much more practical to start by protecting your large, centralized repositories — and work from the inside out.
