There are cyberattacks on corporations and government bodies daily. We have all heard of the famous Twitter hack where a number of high-profile politicians and tech leader accounts were hacked to scam people into transferring their cryptocurrency. Blockchain and cryptocurrency are not immune to hacking. A newly discovered family of malware, KryptoCibule, has been stealing cryptocurrency from users since December 2018, as per security firm ESET.

Quantum computing is now accelerating rapidly into commercial applications and that unfortunately will also include quantum hacking. The good news is that IronCAP has already successfully built a quantum-safe encryption that protects you from pre-quantum and post-quantum threats.

If you are in the cyber security industry you know the quantum era is here and our outdated security systems are not ready for post-quantum cyber threats.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been studying encryption for the post-quantum era and has settled on a group of 15 finalists with two favourable approaches: one is the code-based cryptosystem and second is the lattice-based cryptosystem. The code-based approach is time tested and powerful whereas the lattice-based approach is less time-tested than the code-based AND you will need to wait for 2-3 years for the final result.

At the end NIST will choose one winner from each category. Interestingly of these 15 finalists there is just ONE finalist (in the main candidate list) standing strong on the code-based approach making it the obvious choice and the code-based approach a no-brainer. NIST is still a while away from its final recommendation for the post-quantum era BUT as we know the quantum era is here and we need to be ready for the threats that come with it.

Andrew Cheung, CEO of IronCAP, we did foresee the threats quantum computing could pose and has spent years in developing a unique Goppa code-based cryptographic encryption which is the same method as the code-based approach in the NIST race. IronCAP has been bench tested, independently reviewed, and proven un-hackable in a 3rd party trial (hackathon). Furthermore, IronCAP is already fully developed and available today with many major global cyber consultants partnering with it for its post-quantum cybersecurity strategy instead of waiting around for NIST to publish its final paper.

Global tech giants such as Honeywell, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and IBM already released their quantum computers and are working to better them every day. Honeywell recently stated that they would increase their quantum volume by 10 times every year. We need to be ready NOW and IronCAP’s unique, bulletproof cryptographic encryption will protect you from future quantum threats as well as current cyber threats.

Our current global economy is crying for cloud security. If we thought we are at the top of our game we need to re-think; COVID-19 has brought about heavy lawsuits in data breach, phishing and ransomware attacks for all size companies and industries, the most recent attack being at Garmin.

We are seeing an economic recession with this pandemic BUT the one place we cannot cut corners is cybersecurity. According to a recent report from Flexera, 59% of companies surveyed plan on increasing their spending on cloud services in the post-pandemic world, with 30% of companies planning to spend “significantly” more. Although, keep in mind just like us cybercriminals too are adapting to advancing technology and are probably a step ahead of organizations still discovering best practices surrounding cloud security.

While cybercriminals heavily rely on phishing to target cloud systems, the most common is remote exploitation of cloud applications per IBM’s “Cloud Threat Landscape Report“. The good news is 01 Communique’s, I’m In Touch paired with IronCAP’s encryption and technology can protect you from all cybercrimes, malware and ransomware attacks. Our technology has already been put to test at a hackathon with bulletproof encryption and we are confident that our technology will protect you now and in the near quantum world. Cybersecurity has never been easier, IronCAP seamlessly integrates into existing systems and provides you quantum security too.

According to McKinsey’s recent report cybersecurity technology is working to support current business needs: business continuity, remote work, and planning for transition to the next normal.

In these challenging times cybersecurity organizations are struggling to help support businesses; companies have adopted new strategies to keep up with customer’s shifting needs and to establish new ways of doing business. The bigger challenge will be to succeed in the post-COVID-19 era, wherein providers need to adopt new strategies to fit the new security landscape.

Currently companies turn to using VPN but this comes with its weaknesses, a VPN establishes too much trust between the remote user and the corporate network allowing bad actors to gain access to the entire corporate network. Recent reports show spiking threat levels in spear-phishing attacks, including a near-sevenfold increase since the start of the pandemic.

In the post-COVID era cybersecurity will need to fulfill two criteria’s, bulletproof encryption and affordable pricing. IronCAP has both, it is cost-effective and provides a solid encryption with its unique cryptographic technology. The idea at IronCAP is to make it easy for businesses to protect their data and seamlessly integrate our new technology, bonus it is also quantum-safe.

Gartner’s June 2019 analysis predicts that 60% of enterprises will phase out their Remote Access VPN by 2023 replacing it with Zero-Trust Network Access. The global pandemic and “work from home” makes VPN even more vulnerable, more than ever.

This week we saw countless criticisms of VPN protocol; now under constant attack by bad actors thanks to the massive move to work from home. The VPN’s flaw is that it establishes too much trust between the remote user and the corporate network. Now bad actors can hack into the remote computer to gain access to the entire corporate network. Phishing is the easiest and most popular method for hackers but IronCAP X can stop that with (quantum-safe) end-to-end encryption and digital signatures on emails.

To stay safe we must  eliminate VPN and switch to a zero-trust remote control technology such as I’m InTouch. This is Zero-Trust Network Access allowing remote devices to login to a gateway for initial authentication requiring a multi-factor system. Only then can the user access the specific system they are authorized too. An effective zero-trust system like, I’m In Touch, will disallow any illegal access on the remote device or network and protect your network 100% of the time!

So the best coffin for bad actors and malware is the Zero-Trust Network Access solution such as I’m InTouch paired with IronCAP X quantum-safe encryption and digital signatures. Don’t get caught phishing again…upgrade to Zero-Trust Network Access, says Andrew Cheung and incorporate a quantum-safe encryption IronCAP X while you are at it.

How safe are VPNs? Not so much according to the National Security Agency warning issued today!

The NSA issued a new cybersecurity advisory today warning people against Virtual Private Networks’s (VPN). They could be at high risk for cyberattacks if not secured correctly and many are insecure as the risks of cyberattacks rise.

The NSA’s advisory said VPN gateways in particular are “prone to network scanning, brute force attacks, and zero-day vulnerabilities. [N]etwork administrators should implement strict traffic filtering rules to limit the ports, protocols, and IP addresses of network traffic to VPN devices.”

Andrew Cheung, Visionary and CEO of IronCAP, wanted to build something safer. The vision was to not just protect your data now but also armour for the quantum world. IronCAP protects your data with its unique cryptographic technology and seamlessly integrates with existing systems. The World’s most proven quantum-safe encryption that’s available to anyone.
