U.S. Federal Government Agency Hacked, Affecting 4 Million Employees’ Personal Data: CUVEPIA a Cyber Security Company Is a Service That Can Detect & Respond to Threats
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) June 10, 2015 -- On June 4, 2015, a major security breach was discovered after hackers attacked the system of the US government agency responsible for gathering personnel information on federal employees and granting security clearances, potentially affecting the data of 4 million people, according to U.S. officials. (New York Times)
Malicious cyber attacks conducted by cyber-criminals and nation states are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, targeting specific organizations and stealing data including the U.S. Government and businesses such as Target, Sony, and Anthem. In many of these cases, existing security was evaded and not detected for months. (New York Times)
In 2012 then Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned of a “Cyber Pearl Harbor.” He was referring to a large-scale cyber attack on infrastructure systems in the U.S. including the power grid and transportation networks. (New York Times)
"Hackers are bypassing traditional IT security solutions such as anti-virus and firewalls and exposing vulnerabilities. Hackers and advanced threats seem to always be one step ahead, causing financial loss and threatening national security said Seok Chul Kwon of CUVEPIA, a new generation cyber security company that detects hacking behavior and advanced threats on endpoints in real-time. It is not realistic to stop every cyber attack so it is crucial that organizations quickly detect and respond to threats before damage occurs.”
