Cybersecurity Is Broken – And Zero Trust Alone Won’t Fix It

Image
  Despite massive investments, cyberattacks are rising, proving that cybersecurity is still broken. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) —built on “never trust, always verify”—offers a strong foundation by enforcing strict access controls and continuous monitoring. However, it cannot solve every challenge alone. Read more - https://www.jisasoftech.com/cybersecurity-is-broken-and-zero-trust-alone-wont-fix-it/ Why Zero Trust Isn’t Enough: High cost & complexity limit adoption for many businesses. Legacy systems and outdated infrastructure remain vulnerable. Human error & social engineering fall outside technical defenses. A Smarter Approach: Hybrid Security Organizations need a layered strategy combining: Zero Trust + Endpoint Protection Cyber Resilience & Recovery Planning AI-driven Threat Detection Security for Legacy Systems Employee Awareness & Training Conclusion: Zero Trust is essential but incomplete. A hybrid model that integrates technology, process, and people i...

Data Masking Best Practices for Regulatory Compliance

Image
  In today’s digital era, organizations face growing pressure to protect sensitive data and comply with strict regulations like GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Data masking is a key technique that renders confidential information unidentifiable while keeping it usable for testing, analytics, and sharing. What is Data Masking? Data masking protects sensitive data by replacing it with fictional but realistic data. Unlike encryption, it's irreversible and keeps data secure even in non-production environments.

Data Security : Prevents unauthorized access to financial, health, or personal data. Trust : Builds stakeholder confidence through privacy assurance. Best Practices Identify Sensitive Data (structured & unstructured). Use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for limited data visibility. Appl...

The Hidden Costs of Not Using HSMs in Regulated Sectors

  In regulated sectors such as banking, healthcare, and government services, the importance of safeguarding sensitive data is well understood—but the implementation of security measures like Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) is often seen as optional due to perceived cost, complexity, or integration challenges. This perspective is not just short-sighted—it’s potentially disastrous. While the upfront cost of HSMs can be significant, the hidden costs of not using them—ranging from regulatory penalties to data breaches and reputational damage—can be exponentially higher. In this blog, we delve deep into these hidden costs and explore why HSMs should be a cornerstone of any security architecture in regulated industries. What is an HSM and Why Does It Matter? A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a tamper-resistant physical device designed to securely generate, store, and manage cryptographic keys. It performs critical operations such as encryption, decryption, authentication, and digita...
