We live in an intensely data-driven world, where data loss is unacceptable and quick access to information with real-time analytics driven by machine learning and artificial intelligence is at the core of decision making. Effective data protection is a critical component of every successful business. Now, more than ever, organizations are looking at their data protection strategies through a new lens. They are evaluating old practices, with a focus on making data protection a hands-off, efficient solution they can rely on without applying extensive IT resources. This can be accomplished through standardizing on a vendor with a comprehensive data protection offering, single management capabilities, and support across a diverse network of systems on-premises, in public and private data centers, in multiple clouds, and in remote office/branch offices (ROBO) and edge environments.

As organizations enhance the security of their infrastructure and move towards security methodologies and strategies, such as, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), defense in depth, assume breach, and zero trust to provide tighter access controls, the print infrastructure must also adapt. It must become a strategic initiative to secure the print infrastructure and consider both internal and external threats. Data has become a cornerstone for innovation and has become a company's most valuable asset. Some of the challenges that companies face are inadequate security practices and too much data to manage. It is important to remember that security is not a solo sport, and as a community, we are stronger together.

Advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have dramatically increased the amount of data generated, creating challenges in data analysis and interpretation. Illumina Connected Analytics (ICA) is a secure genomic data platform to operationalize informatics and drive scientific insights. ICA provides an extensible platform with a rich set of RESTful application program interfaces (APIs) and a command-line interface (CLI) tool to maximize workflow efficiency.

In this sophisticated threat environment, traditional security tactics are failing. Symantec encourages organizations to revisit their security posture to build a more cyber resilient enterprise. Resilience is not defined by a series of checklists, but through evaluations based on the current threat environment and the acceptable risk level for the organization.

Held Hostage in Hollywood: In February 2016 the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, in Los Angeles, paid a ransom of about US$17,000 to hackers who infiltrated and disabled its computer network with ransomware. The hospital paid the ransom of 40 Bitcoins (currently worth about $16,664) after a “network infiltration” began on February 5, when employees reported being unable to access the hospital’s network and electronic medical records system. “The malware locked access to certain computer systems and prevented us from sharing communications electronically,” said hospital CEO Allen Stefanek.

Data has become a new global currency. As with other currencies, it has also become a target for threats from those who wish to exploit its value. Ransomware is the new threat to data and it’s wreaking havoc on businesses of all sizes around the world. Until recently, if you ask an IT organization to describe typical causes for service outages they would most likely mention network failures, power failures, hardware failures, user error, etc. In today’s world, we can add ransomware to that list.
