Cybersecurity, Confidential Computing, and What’s Ahead – Futurum Tech Webcast

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Futurum’s Shelly Kramer and Daniel Newman tackle the thorny topic of cybersecurity and the fact that security breaches are frequent, inevitable, expensive, and risky. Security has been a foundational layer within IT since the beginning of time, but it’s clear that it’s not working. There are many factors that contribute to this, and there are some nascent technology solutions, like Confidential Computing, that we think are going to play an important role in the not too distant future. This is one of a series of conversations we’ll have on this topic, and we’ve got a soon-to-publish research paper on the topic of Confidential Computing that you won’t want to miss.

The SolarWinds Hack, Clubhouse, Vulnerable Agora SDKs, Microsoft — Some Cybersecurity News You May Have Missed this Week – Futurum Tech Webcast

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, host Shelly Kramer is joined by fellow analyst Fred McClimans for a conversation about some important cybersecurity news of the week that might’ve gotten lost as a result of horrible storms, power grid troubles, and lots of cold friends and colleagues. Their conversation focused on Clubhouse, the current darling of social apps Clubhouse and that fact that it’s powered by Agora, a Chinese-based company. Are their cybersecurity concerns there? Perhaps. We also explored the latest news from the US government on the SolarWinds hack, including startling information about its point of origin, and wrapped up with good news from Microsoft’s team around its investigation post SolarWinds hack. All in all, some great cybersecurity information and discussion that we think you’ll want to be a part of.

What to do About Zoombombing as Hackers and Security Issues Plague Zoom

Zoombombing is but one of the security concerns that Zoom is dealing with right now, as a lawsuit is filed in California citing a violation of the CCPA and the NY Attorney General is asking some tough questions about the company’s security practices. Zoom shares have skyrocketed since the beginning of the year and I am thrilled by their success. The path forward, however, relies on security. If the company is going to retain a customer base, especially that oh-so-valuable paid customer base that is what really allows companies to deliver shareholder value, then a proactive security first mindset is going to have to be the mantra they embrace and lead with. We’ll all be watching, and hoping they get this right.

Identity Authentication Startup Auth0 Raises $103M, Reaches Billion Dollar Valuation

A security first mindset is critical for businesses of all sizes today. According to data from the 2018-2019 Global Application and Network Security Report, the average cost of a cyberattack (estimated) is more than $1 million, and for those organizations who calculate real costs rather than estimate the impact of a breach, the cost is in the $1.67M range. Not at all surprising that a company like Auth0, focusing on identity authentication, has reached a billion dollar valuation. More to come on that front, for sure.I
