Robust Cybersecurity Solutions Are Needed to Stifle New Threats

NEW YORK, March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The global cybersecurity industry has changed dramatically in recent years. A large portion of that change comes from the development of new innovative technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, social media and more. However, products that rely on such technologies are more prone to an online attack. An example from last year that illustrates how complicated the current cybersecurity landscape has become is the hack on FireEye, one of the world's most famous cybersecurity firms. FireEye CEO, Kevin Mandia, explained that the hackers stole sensitive hacking tools that the company uses to detect weaknesses in customers' computer networks. The hackers are the same Russian group that hacked the White and State department a few years ago, according to a report by the Washington post. Plurilock Security Inc. PLUR PLCKF, Proofpoint, Inc. PFPT, Ping Identity Holding Corp. PING, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. CHKP, Qualys, Inc. QLYS  

More recently, a hack by China exploited similar flaws in the existing system, and the extent of the damage to American interests from the hacks is still unclear. Microsoft explained recently that the hack, which it has attributed to China, has revealed a vulnerability. According to a report by the NY Times, as Microsoft releases new "patches" to close the holes in its system, that code is being reverse-engineered by criminal groups and exploited to launch rapid ransomware attacks on corporations, industry executives said. "When not one but two cyberhacks have gone undetected by the federal government in such a short period of time, it's hard to say that we don't have a problem," said Representative Mike Gallagher, Republican of Wisconsin and a co-chairman of a congressionally mandated cyberspace commission. "The system is blinking red."

Plurilock Security Inc. PLUR PLCKF announced yesterday breaking news regarding the, "the addition of Molly Falconer de Ramel to its board of directors.

"Check Point's CloudGuard has been key in enabling us to add new cloud workloads and services without needing to constantly review or deploy new security infrastructure. This means we can focus on the critical public-facing tasks where we can add real value, such as developing and running Scotland's 'Test & Protect' services," said Deryck Mitchelson, Chief Information Security Officer, NHS Scotland. "Right now we are building our vaccination management systems, and our cloud-first approach gives us the agility and scalability we need to roll it out nationally while being sure that data and services are secured."
