Gold Comet Blog

Privileged Access Management (PAM) has become a central pillar in modern cybersecurity frameworks, from CMMC to NIST 800-171 to enterprise-level governance programs. For organizations seeking a platform that’s built with PAM principles at its core, Gold Comet, our cybersecurity company based in Virginia, stands out as a secure, zero-trust, encryption-first alternative to legacy systems.

In this post are 27 data-backed statistics from 2024–2025 that summarize where cybercrime is concentrated today and what organizations must know to prepare for next year.

Cybersecurity posture and uptime maintenance are factors that you should seriously consider for your enterprise. Depending on the most popular platforms to maintain your uptime and data integrity is no guarantee that you will recover quickly … or at all.

Cybersecurity threats continue evolving at breakneck speed. Always a new strategy being tested and executed. From AI-driven phishing to supply chain exploits, decision-makers must stay ahead of emerging risks, especially now, as hybrid work environments collide with complex compliance mandates.

The cybercrime landscape is evolving faster than ever. Traditional threats like phishing and brute-force attacks remain prevalent, but there’s a new wave of attacks powered by artificial intelligence, deepfakes, and synthetic identities emerging.

Cybersecurity threats continue evolving at breakneck speed. Always a new strategy being tested and executed. From AI-driven phishing to supply chain exploits, decision-makers must stay ahead of emerging risks, especially now, as hybrid work environments collide with complex compliance mandates.

Don't wait for a data protection breach to remind you of the importance of preparation. By then it will be too late. Make prevention your priority today.

Thoughts on Data Security: At Gold Comet, we’re seeing too many stories in the press about data security breaches. Thousands, often millions, of personal and business records compromised. New victims, bad outcomes every time. Time and again. WHY?

When most business owners think of a data breach, they imagine a sudden, headline-grabbing event involving hackers and massive data dumps. They imagine that breach happening to a big company with Big Data.   But for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), the real cost of a security breach is often far more complex and happens far more often than you think.

More and more people are working in remote and hybrid work environments. The way your team is securely storing, sharing, and accessing sensitive files either protects your organization or puts it at serious risk. Try a safer way ...

With the transition to hybrid work, securing encrypted cloud storage, data sharing, and messaging demands a proactive approach that addresses both current risks and looming threats like quantum computing. In this blog post, we’ll unpack the foundational elements of zero trust security, the growing importance of object level encryption, and how to future-proof your strategy against quantum threats.

Hybrid workforces rely on a blend of local and cloud technologies, connecting from various endpoints and networks, sometimes using personal devices. While this flexibility brings operational benefits, it also introduces some significant cybersecurity risks.

Secure collaboration is a global enterprise imperative in an increasingly hybrid work environment. This post explores how remote work is reshaping security protocols, why zero trust is becoming the gold standard, and what tools can help organizations stay compliant in a hybrid work environment. Success lies in securing every point of digital interaction.

Cybersecurity is top of mind for CISOs and CTOs – but are enough others really concerned? Because somehow data cybersecurity can exist as a shadow concept, a nebulous area of responsibility that IT just “handles.“

Technological evolution is transforming the way teams communicate, share, and innovate. By 2030, the line between online collaboration and physical workspaces will blur, creating a unified secure collaboration environment powered by emerging technologies.

The rise of cloud security risks requires enterprises, especially those working within or alongside the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), to rethink and reinforce strategies for secure cloud storage, compliance, and governance.

Data residency and sovereignty are becoming more complex as companies expand across borders, partner with international vendors, and adopt cloud-based platforms.

As organizations adapt to the digital and remote-first workplace, Zero Trust collaboration has emerged as a vital strategy.
