Quantum computers are advancing rapidly, and when they reach full power, they could break much of the encryption in standard use today. That means your sensitive files, from intellectual property and government contracts to healthcare data and personnel records, may not be safe if stored with outdated methods. Alexandria businesses, especially those serving the DIB or government agencies, need to adopt quantum-secure data storage solutions that provide future-proof protection

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.

Phishing attacks remain the #1 cause of data security breaches, and it’s only getting more sophisticated.

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.

Whether you’re a CISO, an IT lead, or just someone responsible for keeping sensitive data safe, having the right cybersecurity metrics in place is a smart management move. If you want to better understand which key performance indicators (KPIs) really matter—and how to use them to improve your cybersecurity without drowning in data or tech jargon, then read on.

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.

While we’ve defined many lesser-known cybercrimes in Gold Comet's newsletter series, Cybercrime Defined, these ten still persist as the most frequently used strategies … because they still work! AI has opened a whole new land of opportunity for cybercriminals to discover novel and creative ways to steal your data!

Cloud storage services present an enticing and viable alternative to expensive and high maintenance physical storage devices - but there can be hidden disadvantages.

CMMC is critically important for protecting the nation’s security. As defense contractors increasingly operate in a digitally and globally interconnected world, the risk of cyber espionage and IP theft has grown. CMMC compliance ensures companies handling CUI follow strict protocols to safeguard data, reduce risk, and maintain trust at all points along the supply chain.

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.

An effective incident response plan is essential for business operations, a vital component of modern enterprise incident management. The ability to detect, assess, and recover from a cyber breach quickly can make the difference between a minor disruption and a catastrophe.

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