When it comes to the security and protection of sensitive data, you might think that standard, out-of-the-box encryption is all you need. But you’d be wrong! In this article we outline some helpful guidelines to consider when making your decision. netlibsecurity.com/articles/cho... #infosec
Compliance & Cost: "We’ll deal with encryption later." Later has a price tag. Regulations don’t wait for your roadmap. The average cost of a data breach in 2024 hit $4.88M. Encryption isn’t a security expense. It’s your cheapest insurance policy. netlibsecurity.com?utm_source=b... #infosec #cybersec
You’ve heard “encrypt your data.” But what does that actually mean when the data isn’t moving? The short version: Encryption converts your data into unreadable ciphertext using an algorithm. Without the decryption key, the data is worthless to anyone who finds it. netlibsecurity.com?utm_source=b...
Your data is being attacked while it sleeps! Most breaches don’t happen during transmission. They happen when data is sitting quietly on a server, a hard drive, or in the cloud completely still & exposed. Encrypting data at rest isn’t optional; it’s foundational. netlibsecurity.com?utm_source=b...
Making data security a top priority means shifting from reactive protection to proactive control. The organizations that will succeed this year aren’t just investing in new tools; they’re eliminating the easiest paths to compromise: data security is not optional. netlibsecurity.com?utm_source=b...
February started with Change Your Password Day. Be honest...did you actually change yours? Because while the month may be short, the threat landscape isn’t. Weak passwords, reused credentials, AI-powered phishing, attackers are moving faster than ever. netlibsecurity.com/blog/safer-p... #infosec
In 2026, AI-generated scams and phishing will be virtually indistinguishable from legitimate apps, storefronts, and communications making detection alone unreliable. netlibsecurity.com/articles/pre... #infosec #cybersec
Italian authorities at the National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN) have been working around the clock to stop attacks like a hundred goalies trying to block ten times as many pucks. netlibsecurity.com/blog/trackin... #infosec #cybersec
Today’s attacks don’t knock — they slip in through your apps. From ransomware to supply-chain exploits, the application layer has become the new attack surface. In our piece, we outline why encryption is the only defense that scales with today’s threat landscape. netlibsecurity.com/white-papers...
In this article we take a closer look at what Visual FoxPro is, why it still matters in 2025, where VFP’s biggest security blind spots lie, and how you can continue to operate legacy applications securely without a full system rewrite. netlibsecurity.com/articles/pro... #infosec #cybersec
Feb 1 was safer passwords day. Trust—online or off—should be earned, protected, and revisited regularly. Just as relationships need work and upkeep, passwords require maintenance to keep hackers, scammers, and other bad actors from gaining unauthorized access. netlibsecurity.com/blog/safer-p...
Voice Phising is the shiny new object in the room and the ShinyHunter extortion gang is here for it. netlibsecurity.com/blog/voice-p... #infosec #cybersec
AI scams aren’t coming. They’re here. In 2026, AI-generated phishing is indistinguishable from real communication. So we have to shift the strategy. At NetLib Security, we’re reframing encryption as an architectural requirement—not a feature checkbox. www.trendhunter.com/trends/netli... #infosec
February is serving trust issues. As cyber threats evolve by the day, blind trust in any single line of defense just doesn’t cut it anymore. Because in 2026, trust isn’t assumed, it’s verified, reinforced, and backed up by layers. netlibsecurity.com/articles/lay... #infosec #cybersec
Feb brings two of our fav holidays: VDay & Change your Password Day! Just as relationships need work & upkeep, passwords require maintenance to keep hackers, scammers, & other bad actors from gaining unauthorized access. Learn why passwords are only the first date! netlibsecurity.com/blog/safer-p...
NetLib Security announces the general availability of Encryptionizer Winter 2026 Release. At NetLib Security, we design Encryptionizer with the assumption that credentials will be compromised, systems will be copied, and data will be targeted directly. netlibsecurity.com/articles/202... #infosec
February is all about protecting what matters most! Between Change Your Password Day & VDay, February is the perfect time to rethink who & what you trust. In this edition, we share how to strengthen p/w hygiene & announce the GA of Encryptionizer Winter 2026. www.linkedin.com/pulse/dont-f...
TGIF! We wrap up the week with an important CTA: If your encryption isn’t airtight, it’s a liability. Before compliance deadlines or attackers find the cracks, learn the most common data at rest encryption mistakes and how to avoid them. netlibsecurity.com/articles/pit... #infosec #cybersec
Strong encryption shouldn’t break performance or your codebase. We encrypt data at rest where it lives across servers, legacy systems, and distributed applications without rewriting code or slowing operations. That’s how encryption becomes protection, not friction. netlibsecurity.com/articles/pit...
Encryption doesn’t fail because of algorithms. It fails because of execution. From databases to file systems to legacy apps, data-at-rest encryption must be consistent, transparent, and centrally managed. Anything less creates gaps and gaps get exploited. netlibsecurity.com/articles/pit... #infosec
Day 2 of our week long discussion around pitfalls to avoid with your encryption strategy! The risk: “We’re encrypted” is not a security strategy. Mismanaged keys. Performance shortcuts. Legacy systems left behind. netlibsecurity.com/articles/pit... #infosec #cybersec
Encrypted ≠ secure. Too many organizations think turning on data-at-rest encryption means the job is done. In reality, poor planning and sloppy execution can make encryption meaningless and attackers know it. netlibsecurity.com/articles/pit... #infosec #cybersec
To keep up with the acceleration of cybercrime technologies in the new year, organizations must be proactive with embedded and rapid security measures. Now more than ever data security must be an integral part of operations rather than an afterthought or reaction. netlibsecurity.com/blog/new-yea...
Ever wonder what happened to Visual FoxPro? Turns out, it’s still alive and kicking for thousands of businesses and government agencies, even though Microsoft stopped supporting it ages ago! netlibsecurity.com/articles/pro... #infosec #cybersec
Individual U.S. states are still in the process of enacting their own data protection statutes. Kentucky is now the latest with the Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act effective as of this month. netlibsecurity.com/blog/state-b... #infosec #cybersec
NetLib Security’s goal is to promote the value of encryption: to show how solid encryption is easy to implement, to focus on quality user experience across all industries, & to keep it simple so that you can “set it and forget it.” @cybershowuk.bsky.social netlibsecurity.com/articles/cyb... #infosec
Securing legacy applications is crucial but often mishandled. This article walks through 10 common mistakes that leave aging systems vulnerable, from ignoring data-at-rest encryption to weak key management, and offers strategies to address them. netlibsecurity.com/articles/10-... #infosec #cybersec
New Year. New Threats. Start Encrypted! In 2026, you won’t be able to spot the scam & that’s the point. AI-generated threats are making detection unreliable, forcing app developers to assume any system is breachable, and to build systems where stolen data is useless. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
By 2026, AI-generated scams and phishing will be virtually indistinguishable from legitimate apps, storefronts, and communications making detection alone unreliable. netlibsecurity.com/articles/pre... #infosec #cybersec
SoundCloud recently confirmed a data breach in which millions of accounts (around 20% of users) were put at risk through unauthorized activity with an internal service dashboard. netlibsecurity.com/blog/new-yea... #infosec #cybersec #databreach
