Great insights!
When ransomware strikes, the narrative often begins with a phishing email or an employee clicking on a malicious link. But the truth is far more alarming. #ArmsCyber #Resilience #PreemptBlockRemediate

Next week, I'll be presenting our newly published report with NIST on data flow governance and protection. It's an incredible honor to share the approach we've developed at LeakSignal, alongside the amazing team at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)!
Exciting news! 🚀 LeakSignal is teaming up with NIST for the Federal Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Forum on November 19th. We'll be presenting NIST IR 8505: A Data Protection Approach for Cloud-Native Applications. This document, authored by LeakSignal CEO, Wesley Hales and Ramaswamy Chandramouli (NIST), addresses the need for effective data protection strategies in the evolving realm of cloud-native network architectures, including multi-cloud environments, service mesh networks, and hybrid infrastructures. It provides a framework for aligning data protection approaches with the unknowns of data in transit, with a focus on leveraging WebAssembly (WASM) to ensure robust data protection as sensitive data moves through east-west and north-south communication paths. The forum is open to cybersecurity and privacy professionals from federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as higher education organizations and their contractor support. Join us to exchange ideas, share best practices, and explore how we can strengthen data governance in cloud-native environments. Check out the details here: https://lnkd.in/ezmrV-rR Or read the published Interagency Report here: https://lnkd.in/eqiNV4Wq #LeakSignal #NIST #WASM #DataPrivacy #DataGovernance
