Clark County School District in Nevada, the fifth-largest school district in the United States, recently experienced a massive data breach. Threat actors gained access to the school district’s email servers, which exposed the sensitive data of over 200,000 students. The district is now facing a class-action lawsuit from parents, alleging it failed to protect sensitive personal information and take steps to prevent the cybersecurity attack.

The Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) model, and its readily available scheme, remains to be the preferred method for emerging threat actors to carry out complex and lucrative cyberattacks. Information theft is a significant focus within the realm of MaaS, with a specialization in the acquisition and exfiltration of sensitive information from compromised devices, including login credentials, credit card details, and other valuable information.

There’s a massive elephant in the room: unstructured data. It’s valuable, and it needs to be protected. Let’s talk about why.

The different types of ransomware include crypto ransomware, locker ransomware, scareware, leakware and Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS). Ransomware is a type of malware, also known as malicious software, that prevents victims from accessing the data stored on their devices until they’ve paid a cybercriminal a certain amount of money, commonly referred to as a ransom.

What if a malicious attack deleted your Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) objects? Or what if hundreds of objects get deleted across your Microsoft OneDrive account from a rogue script? Think about it. If you’re a large enterprise customer, would you be prepared to rapidly recover from these scenarios at scale?
