Recently 23andMe, the popular DNA testing service, made a startling admission: hackers had gained unauthorised access to the personal data of 6.9 million users, specifically their ‘DNA Relatives’ data. This kind of high-profile breach made headlines globally, and naturally highlights the need for stringent security measures when handling organisational data – especially the type of sensitive genetic information that 23andMe is responsible for. Further, although the hacker appears to have to use a tactic known as credential stuffing to access 23andMe’s customer accounts, it does ..read more

For some time now, there has been a worrying lack of the requisite skills around cloud security, data security, and application security. Especially within the mid and senior level.

Here, there is a real shortage of engineers who are well-versed in techniques like cloud access security, cloud encryption, and micro-segmentation. With vast amounts of sensitive data now being collected and analysed, skills in data ..read more

One of the biggest challenges of digital technology today is around security systems and data. In response to this, sophisticated algorithms have been designed to encrypt data and protect it through frameworks known as symmetric cryptography. While this has proven successful, advancements in quantum computing – which utilises quantum mechanics to solve complex problems faster than conventional computers – could potentially turn data security on its head. IBM, Microsoft and Google have already turned their attention to quantum computing and, as a result, commercially viable quantum computers ar ..read more
