How safe is your email? This week on Zero Gravity Live, we explore the hidden threats lurking in your inbox, starting with a zero-click vulnerability in Microsoft Outlook that can activate malicious code just by viewing an email. We dive into the critical importance of zero trust and data resilience, drawing parallels to past cybersecurity challenges and emphasizing the need for robust security practices in an ever-evolving digital landscape. You'll also hear our thoughts on why unique passwords are still one of your best defenses against these sophisticated attacks.
Next, we shift gears to discuss the most perilous connected devices of 2024. From unpatched hypervisors to vulnerable IP cameras and NAS devices, we explore how these technologies, while integral to modern operations, pose significant risks if left unsecured. We share a real-world example of an insider threat where a former IT employee wreaked havoc by wiping out 180 virtual servers, illustrating the devastating potential of both external and internal security breaches. Learn why zero trust, immutability, and resilience are non-negotiable in today's cybersecurity strategies.
Finally, we underscore the indispensable role of backups and recovery plans in safeguarding business continuity. Discover why simply having backups isn't enough without ensuring their recoverability through techniques like verification and the 3-2-1-1-0 rule. We'll discuss how a comprehensive strategy can protect your operations and reputation from all types of threats, including rogue administrators and ransomware. Stay tuned for our next episode, where we'll reveal the surprising dangers posed by emojis in your digital communications. Until then, stay weightless, stay frictionless, stay zero gravity.
