Searches for secure data storage and sharing foundations, and compliance platforms and data security for regulatory compliance are rising for a reason: organizations are recognizing that compliance starts with data protection, not just documented policies and striving to follow rules.

In cybersecurity, prevention gets most of the attention, but data management and reliable backups determine whether an organization survives an incident or becomes a headline. Ransomware, insider mistakes, hardware failures, and cloud misconfigurations all have one thing in common: when data is lost or corrupted, recovery depends entirely on how well it was managed and backed up beforehand.

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.

Compliance with security requirements is now more important than ever -- that means you should have a well implemented Data Security Posture Management Plan in place and operational! For those working in the DIB, CMMC accreditation has been made a federal requirement for the proposal bid process, contract and task order management, and participation in the federal supply chain. Here are some best practices to consider and what's on the horizon for DSPM.

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.

Whether you’re exchanging medical records, government files, or corporate IP, secure data sharing solutions for businesses operating in the US are critical for avoiding breaches and data loss, fines, and brand damage. 

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intellectual property and government contracts to healthcare data and personnel records, may not be safe if stored with outdated methods.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

This post defines and discusses the need for cyber resilience in healthcare and the best practices to fortify organizational defenses.
