🏗️ Day 29 of #NationalCyberSecurityAwarenessMonth Want to build unshakeable security? Start with the foundation. Clear visibility into your requirements and data isn't just good practice—it's essential architecture. You can't protect what you don't understand, and you can't understand what you can't see. Key takeaway: Strong security architecture flows from crystal-clear requirements. Thanks to Valter Simes Pellegrini for today's wisdom. #Cybersecurity #Security #CloudArchitecture #InfoSec #SecurityByDesign"

🔐 Security Pro Tip from Juhi Patel on #day28 of #NationalCybersecurityAwarenessMonth: Start with your sensitive data and work outward. Even meticulously configured IAM roles and security groups mean nothing if rogue file permissions are letting data slip through the cracks. One overlooked 'Allow' can bypass your strongest defenses. #InfoSec #CyberSecurity #DataProtection #SecurityBestPractices #IAM"

In today’s digital world, organizations need a systematic approach to securing data. Key pillars include knowing what data matters and where it lives, determining responsibility for its management, and implementing automated monitoring for real-time access insights. Symmetry Systems VP of Engineering, Sameer Narang highlights these essentials as the foundation of a strong data security posture, ensuring data is not just stored but protected effectively. Embrace these practices to build resilience and safeguard sensitive information. #Day27 of #NationalCyberSecurityAwareness Month

For those working in cloud security, continuous learning is crucial. Resources like Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) offer valuable training to keep skills sharp and knowledge fresh, while communities like the Cloud Security Forum slack from fwd:cloudsec provide space for discussions, insights, and networking with other professionals. Whether you're deep into cloud security or securing other digital assets, make a habit of engaging year-round. It’s this steady commitment that builds a robust security posture and keeps us ready to face evolving threats.

For #day25 of #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, Jacob A. highlights a key challenge: effective data security isn’t just about knowing where your sensitive data is—it’s about digging deeper to reveal hidden connections and risks. True protection requires understanding the full story behind your data - who owns, how is it stored, who has access to it, who is using it, what does the metadata say about it, not just its labels.

Digital wisdom from Pavan Yara on Day 24 of #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth: Managing inactive data isn't just about freeing up storage space - it's a critical security imperative! The numbers are staggering: 59.6% of enterprise data stores are completely dormant, growing at a mind-blowing 500% year-over-year. Think about that: over half of your data footprint might be unnecessarily expanding your attack surface. Don't let dormant data become your Achilles' heel. This #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, remember that every piece of stored data carries: 📊 Security risks ⚖️ Legal exposure 🛡️ Protection overhead Time for a strategic cleanup!

One of the biggest benefits of DSPM is the speed to impactful results. Within weeks, organizations can uncover critical security gaps. In one government agency, Symmetry identified secrets that didn’t belong and found 30% more unknown environments accessing data—insights even AWS couldn’t provide. These quick findings create powerful ‘aha’ moments for security teams. #DSPM #CyberSecurity #DataVisibility Check out the full interview here: https://hubs.ly/Q02VyXkb0

Matt C. highlights a fundamental principle often overlooked in data security practices. While encryption is crucial, applying security measures without understanding their technical implications can lead to inefficiencies and wasted resources. It's not just about implementing security features; it's about implementing them intelligently and in the correct sequence. So on #Day23 of #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth, led by Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA), effective cybersecurity requires both technical knowledge and practical wisdom to optimize our defensive measures.
