Podcast: How ISPs Can Ensure Data Privacy & Security in the Cloud

As more and more telcos migrate services to the cloud, their customers’ data goes with it, which creates multiple new risks to customer privacy and – ultimately – their security. 

SAM’s CISO, Shahar Avenstein, joins our latest podcast episode to discuss how privacy concerns can impact device security, the steps ISPs can take to ensure privacy and security when selecting cloud service providers, the relevance of GDPR for non-personal devices, and much more!

Report: 72% of Smart Homeowners Fear the Safety of Their Personal Data

Parks Associates’ recent research reveals that 72% of smart home product owners express concerns about the security of their personal data collected and transmitted by these devices. And with the increasing connectivity of IoT devices through home routers, many consumers are now turning to their internet service providers for added protection. 

To address these valid concerns and ensure data protection, ISPs are collaborating with cloud security providers to implement internal policies, utilize data anonymization techniques, and much more, while establishing trust and confidence.

Report: The Human Element’s Impact on 74% of Security Breaches in Unmanaged Networks

Ever wondered about the core factor behind a data breach? 

According to the latest Data Breach Investigations Report (2023) by Verizon Business, the human element remains the biggest risk to cybersecurity, contributing to 74% of all security breaches! This includes errors, privileged access misuse, use of stolen credentials, and, unsurprisingly, social engineering.

And often deploying unauthorized software and hosting vulnerabilities, connected IoTs like your home-office door lock or security camera can also significantly increase the attack surface. Many cyber criminals aim to take advantage of human error, and when it comes to unmanaged networks that aren’t controlled or monitored by a CISO or similar tech leader, hackers flourish.

SAM constantly monitors unmanaged home and small business networks to prevent them from falling victim to these malicious attacks.
