Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 1/6

Insight #1

"If your source code is leaked, the first thing you need to do is make sure the malicious actors are not still in your environment, do not worry about what is in your code. Get them out first."
 

Insight #2

"Transparency is the key to incident response and communication with those affected. Be as transparent as possible even with many unknowns."
 

Insight #3

"If you are a LastPass user, it is time to change all your passwords stored within the system. The most recent LastPass breach could have exposed all users' password safes, and it is good practice to rotate passwords if you have a suspicion of compromise."
