A Buydown for Risk: Why Data Security is a Must

whitePaper | July 1, 2023

Cloud services have changed the face of business, offering scalability, efficiency and cost savings not available with onpremises IT infrastructure. The cloud makes it easier for organizations to manage the ever-increasing amount of data passing through their systems, helping teams communicate and collaborate across different locations. By enhancing the ability to access and manage information, the cloud has introduced a new way of approaching productivity and security – and has transformed how we work.

MX’s approach to security includes a defense-in-depth strategy. This strategy is supported by an established, operational MX Security Program, with a robust suite of governing policies, processes, security controls, and procedures to achieve MX’s security strategy. MX enacts defense in depth by hardening each layer of MX’s infrastructure and supporting processes.

Cybersecurity has changed. The attack surface has expanded, thanks to the rapid adoption of cloud applications and services, shift to remote work, and proliferation of mobile devices. Having enterprise systems, applications, and data in one location and relying on layers of security tools and controls to keep attackers out, is no longer sufficient when the bulk of data and workloads now live outside the traditional network. Attackers are also increasingly targeting credentials to appear as legitimate users.

Abstract— With the recent roll-outs of 5G networks and the rise of phones supporting the standard, it’s critical to examine the technical underpinnings of 5G system security. The fifth generation of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) mobile telephony, the lack of understanding, outright hostility, and general confusion surrounding this roll-out is unmatched in the history of mobility. We aim to alleviate much of the confusion and hostility by providing an overarching description and security document.

The Ohio Data Protection Act (“ODPA” or the Act), came into force on November 2, 2018.1 The Act seeks to improve cybersecurity among Ohio businesses. It does so by providing an affirmative defense against tort claims arising from a data breach to businesses that can demonstrate they have implemented a qualifying cybersecurity program that reasonably conforms to one of ten specified cybersecurity frameworks and met certain other safeguards specified in the Act.

In many ways, the cloud1 is more secure than a traditional data center. Asset management, inventory, audit logging, two-factor access controls, connectivity redundancy and firewalls are built into the cloud provider platform. Servers are easier to patch and won’t become outdated within a few years; there aren’t any forgotten boxes sitting in a dark corner with a note reading, “DO NOT TURN OFF.” However, assets on the cloud continue to be compromised, just as those stored in traditional data centers.
