EVOLVING VIGILANCE IN AN AGE OF CYBERTHREAT As attack surfaces grow with every network connection, Dalet ups its game with improved protocols and a new chief information security officer
lways being suspicious is a sure route to a lonely life. But one of the few areas paranoia really pays off is cybersecurity. If you don’t think you’re
a Zero Trust framework for its expanding, cloud-based content creation toolset. Under a Zero Trust policy, no digital connection is assumed safe. Every incoming signal or connection is labelled untrustworthy by default, then rigorously tested with security checks, ensuring the proper legitimacy or authority to connect. Any new signal entering this framework is first blocked, then interrogated based on any number of desired data points – identity, location, operating system, device and input requests, to name a few. Changes in configuration, network and traffic activity are also logged and monitored for anomalies. Dalet’s renewed vigilance has been supercharged by the arrival of chief information security officer Jérôme Athias, who has completed the ISO/IEC 27001 certification.

Automated, bot-driven attacks mean that your systems are being tested continuously for weaknesses for a variety of nefarious purposes, from stealing

cybersecurity even more imperative, particularly around news reporting. In crisis zones, organisations can become high-priority targets for cyberattacks. Safeguarding journalistic content and making sure that it travels safe and sound to the people who need it requires doubling down on cybersecurity protocols. “Following our heritage as an on- premises provider, Dalet has decades of experience monitoring systems,” says Athias. “As workflows using external platforms and multi-connectivity have evolved, we’ve grown with them. Zero Trust will secure our customers’ borders, no matter what cloud services, internet of things or bring-your-own-device policies are used to interact with their organisation.” In addition to ISO/IEC 27001 – as well as the DPP Committed to Security mark certification – Dalet is also developing an internal workflow called Secure Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which will further reduce the number of
data, to wrecking your business. In a hyperconnected world with
teams so geographically distributed, the opportunity for security breaches has grown exponentially. As a result, Dalet is adopting

transformed, so have we. Dalet has evolved from software vendor to SaaS provider, and Zero Trust is the linchpin that will allow us to do so safely.”
