Law enforcement agencies use forensics tools from Israeli company Cellebrite to gain access to locked mobile devices and extract data. But the creator of encrypted messaging app Signal says he's found vulnerabilities in Cellebrite's tools, raising questions about whether the extracted data can be trusted.
Given the surge in the use of telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic - and expectations for continued growth - the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council has unveiled guidance on safeguarding patient data during remote care encounters.
About 70 major health data breaches have been added to the federal tally in the last four weeks as ransomware attacks have persisted and breaches at vendors have affected clients.
New encryption standards TLS 1.3 and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) will soon sweep away security controls. Security professionals must act within the next two years or they won't be able to analyze network traffic and detect cyberthreats.

Encryption leaves gaping holes in data protection - by protecting data at rest and in motion, but not in use. Tokenization safeguards data at the cost of usability and performance.
Download this white paper and learn how your organization can:
More easily access data and ensure its protection;
Ensure data is both...
In-Use encryption is the next generation of encryption technology that ensures that sensitive data is never left unsecured, regardless of lifecycle stage (at rest, in transit, or in use) or location (on premise, cloud, or hybrid).

The shortfalls that persist with...
Though encryption is the most effective way to reduce the probability of a security breach, traditional encryption carries a major hurdle - it protects data only when data is at rest (disk encryption) or in transit via secure communication methods such as SSL and TLS. These shortfalls leave companies with significant...
Quantum computing eventually could break existing cryptographic methods with brute force attacks, so organizations need to prepare now, says Evangelos Rekleitis of ENISA.
In our current era, more than ever, we know that when dealing with new working environments, vulnerability risks and other issues, data protection is essential.
Poor or inadequate key management can lead to a data breach more than a weak algorithm, and with the amount of data most businesses need to encrypt today,...
The Council of the European Union has adopted a new cybersecurity strategy aimed at protecting EU citizens and businesses from cyberthreats by promoting best practices, such as strong encryption and threat information sharing.
U.S. authorities have extended the crackdown on the Sky ECC cryptophone service by charging the CEO of parent company Sky Global and its alleged main distributor - both Canadians - with running an "illicit secret communications network" for criminals and hiding profits via shell companies and cryptocurrency.
Police say they have disrupted Sky ECC - a global encrypted communications network allegedly used by numerous criminals to plan their operations - and made numerous arrests. Authorities say starting in February, they "unlocked" 3 million messages exchanged daily by the service's 170,000 users.
The Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on the SolarWinds supply chain attack exposed the crucial flaw that allowed attackers, likely Russian, to gain entry into the company's system. Brad Beutlich of Entrust discusses how SolarWinds did not protect its encryption keys, which allowed them to be stolen and used by...
