The Case for Lean Cybersecurity Leadership

Businesses’ natural response to growing cyber risk has been to invest in and grow their cybersecurity capabilities, including:

— Creating new leadership roles
— Safeguarding the confidentiality/privacy
— Integrity and availability of organizational data

This phenomenon of decision-making bias stemming from overconfidence, referred to as illusory superiority, has been found in other settings as well.

Under certain conditions, people — regardless of their competence level — overestimate their abilities, skills, or qualities relative to those of their peers.

Amazon Sued in First 'My Health, My Data' Privacy Dispute

Amazon tracked users’ location data without their consent.

The company used it for targeted advertising and other means of enriching its business, according to a complaint filed by an Amazon app user in the US District Court Western District of Washington.

Information collected by these apps also included “biometric data and precise location information."

That data could reasonably indicate a consumer’s attempt to acquire or receive health services or supplies,” putting it in violation of Washington’s My Health My Data Act, the complaint said.

Amazon denied the above allegations that came through.

“These claims are not accurate, and we look forward to explaining this in court,” an Amazon spokesperson wrote in an Email.

How to Defend Amazon S3 Buckets from Ransomware Exploiting SSE-C Encryption

All key management for S3 server-side encryption with SSE-C is handled outside of AWS, with encryption key material provided alongside the object, ensuring the cloud provider never stores the key material.

AWS emphasizes the importance of using short-term credentials, implementing data recovery procedures, and preventing the use of SSE-C on S3 buckets when not necessary for the workload.

“We get attacked every day, but this was done with a lot of resources,” the platform’s CEO stated.

“Either a large, coordinated group and/or a country is involved.”
