Bharat Bhise HNA’s Cybersecurity 2019 Review


Bharat Bhise HNA feels that one word can encompass the developments in cybersecurity for 2019: growth. There are the hallmarks of growth everywhere, from the innovations in cybersecurity tools to the rapid advancements of hackers and their methods. There is even a growth in the kinds of systems that experts consider are susceptible to cybersecurity attacks. The severity of the threats has continued to grow, prompting the companies to ramp up their improvements to combat them.
So what are some of the high and lows of cybersecurity in 2019?
1. Cybersecurity has made its mark in business
There is a noted rise in cybercrime’s usage as an edge in the industry this year. Bharat Bhise HNA noticed that companies tout their enhanced security and protection against cybercrime as a means to bring in more business compared to other competitors that may not have the advantage. About one-third of the companies are making use of this edge.
2. CEOs are being held responsible
It’s the CEOs who are in the hot seat this year, according to a study by Gartner. This year showcased CEOs getting plenty of backlash in the wake of cybersecurity-related issues, from account leaks to private data being sold off. Most notable among this is the public hashing of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. As Bharat Bhise HNA also noted, CIOs are now digging deeper into IT-related issues to avoid this sort of thing from happening.
3. The mobile ecosystem is getting scrutinized
Beyond laptops and PCs, mobile security is now gaining traction. Smartphones are ubiquitous, and their safety must be at the highest level. This year, Apple’s famous App Store let in 18 malicious apps, prompting an investigation as to whether its notoriously stringent vetting system is enough. The world has started to awaken to the need for heightened security in mobiles.
For cybersecurity experts, 2019 was a rocky year where there were plenty of vulnerabilities that should now be addressed. For Bharat Bhise HNA, 2020 should be the year where these gaping holes in the defense should be patched over.

Bharat Bhise HNA Talks about Airport Cybersecurity: 97% Failure

Bharat Bhise HNA joins the rest of the world in reveling in the shocking news: 97% of the world’s airports soundly failed a cybersecurity test from ImmuniWeb. In the 2020 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos-Klosters, the WEF had expressed concern in the cybersecurity found in the world’s airports. After all, millions of travelers pass through these airports every year, traveling across the globe. Their most sensitive personal information and data get processed through the airports—for immigration purposes, visas, and more. Their addresses, social security numbers, personal information, and other vital information are all referred back to in these airports. So it goes without saying that it’s merely a reasonable expectation for airports to have foolproof security. Sadly, from what Bharat Bhise HNA understands from the results of the study, that is not the case. The Gaping Holes In a sweep of the 100 most prominent international airports in the world, ImmuniW

Bharat Bhise HNA Observes Continuous Legislative Efforts on Cybersecurity

Bharat Bhise HNA and other experts are keen on renewed efforts, especially on the legislature, of beefing up the cybersecurity landscape on both federal agencies and private infrastructure. The latest bill to be filed exclusively dealing with cybersecurity is the Advancing Cybersecurity Diagnostics and Mitigation Act. Filed by Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif), the new bill hopes to strengthen the already-in-place digital protection programs under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The main project under the DHS is the Continuous Diagnostics Mitigation (CDM) program, the agency’s approach to cybersecurity for federal agencies. Under the new bill, the DHS is directed to codify the CDM project, and also gives policy development powers under the DHS Secretary. According to Bharat Bhise HNA, one unique feature of the new bill is its all-encompassing setup. If the bill becomes law, the DHS is mandated to make cybersecurity programs and policies avai
