This level of connectivity and advancement has led to the rise of ransomware which is focused on stealing patient data, hacking into medical devices, and stealing the intellectual property of the pharmaceutical industry.

6 Cyber Security Best Practices Everyone Should Be Aware Of

Cyber attacks occur at an alarming rate—and while many of these attacks are aimed at high-profile targets, don’t make the mistake of assuming you won’t be at risk. Cyber attacks can affect anyone with Internet access. These days, that includes nearly everyone.

Rema Deo, our Managing Director, has been quoted on her comments regarding cyber security best practices for passwords. Many of those password managers will have the option to auto-fill new passwords with random strings of numbers, letters and symbols. But if you’d rather create a password you have a chance of remembering, there’s another option. “Instead of setting a cryptic password that you have to write down somewhere to remember, use a short sentence,” says Rema Deo, managing director at 24By7Security, who suggests something like “Mymomtaughtmetosave2yearsago!” as an example. “A long password, though it might be easy to memorize, will still take years to be guessed by a password-cracking algorithm.”

Social Engineering Attacks: Technique and Prevention 

Read Rema Deo's recommendations on the PhoenixNAP blog

October 22, 2018

The most frequent social engineering attacks are caused by phishing. Phishing is known to be the leading cause of ransomware. Tailgating is another way in which attackers may obtain information or plan or execute a cyber attack by physically gaining access to your premises, especially sensitive areas. In businesses, whaling is also a popular social engineering method, distinguished a bit from phishing in that whaling targets are usually high-value targets like executives or high ranking government officials.

  1. Do not allow tailgating into the office premises. If someone asks you to let them into the premises, do not let them in unless they have the appropriate credentials and authorization to be in the premises.
  2. Phishing, vishing, spear phishing and whaling are forms of social engineering. Do not click on unknown links in emails or messages.
  3. Check the sender’s email address before taking any action. If suspicious, report the email to your security or compliance officer.
  4. Do not provide your password to anyone. If you have inadvertently provided your password for any of your work systems to someone, change those passwords immediately.
  5. If you have any reason to doubt the instructions provided by a colleague or executive via email, be sure to call or otherwise confirm the instructions before implementing them especially if those instructions are likely to grant access to someone else, or to wire funds or anything that might adversely impact the company.

Rema Deo quoted in Tech Republic

June 7, 2018

“The quality of questions that a project manager asks during an interview is often the tipping point of offering them the job. I believe that a project manager candidate must ask at least one or two questions during the interview, especially if asked “Do you have any questions for me?””, Deo said. “Questions should be ideally open-ended so that they prompt further discussion. The interviewee must also be cognizant of the overall time of the interview so as to not take too much time from the interviewers.” For the full article in Tech Republic, click HERE.

March 2017 - Overlooked security controls in healthcare technology applications

Sanjay Deo quoted in this supplement on Security & Privacy: Protecting data in the information sharing era, of the Health Data Management magazine. Sanjay talks about how security controls have often been overlooked in healthcare technology applications. During the past 5 years, primarily because the government has mandated and prompted it, hospitals and physician practices have adopted electronic medical records. While these organizations have acquired the technologies to collect and distribute patient data, the focus on security has not been there. We are still coming across large institutions that have not protected data adequately.
