McDonalds says data breach targeted South Korea and Taiwan operations

https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/557967-mcdonalds-says-data-breach-targeted-south-korea-and-taiwan-operations

Excerpts:

McDonald’s said that it was the target of a data breach affecting its markets in South Korea and Taiwan.

The burger chain told The Hill in a statement that it worked with third parties to conduct an investigation to identify unauthorized activity on its network.

The company said it was able to quickly close off access after the identification, but “a small number of files were accessed, some of which contained personal data.”

The hack was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, which also noted that the company’s U.S. markets were targeted.

According to the newspaper, the breach disclosed business contact information for U.S. employees and franchisees, as well as some information about restaurants.

McDonald's wouldn't have had to "conduct an investigation to identify unauthorized activity on its network," if it used Wave solutions. Please see an explanation for this below.

Confirm the identity of user and device.

Secure device & user authentication

Sometimes it feels like security is more effective at deterring your users than hackers. But you still have to protect your enterprise resources, and we’re here to help. We take pride in securing your network, data, and resources to an unprecedented level, without causing a revolt from either IT or your users. In fact, your users probably won’t even know we’re there.

Here’s how it works:

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) + Wave’s ERAS for TPM Management = hardware-secured, fully-managed authentication

Most of your devices already come with TPMs (check out our “What is a TPM?” brochure if you’re not sure why this is exciting). This security chip comes attached to the motherboard of most enterprise-class PCs. There’s nothing “add-on” about it. The TPM provides a verifiable, unique identity for each machine.

Wave’s ERAS for TPM Management gives IT remote, centralized management of all TPMs on enterprise computers and tablets.

With this control, IT can set policies and dictate which machines and users have authority to access which resources. IT can ensure that only known and approved devices are accessing your network. And what’s more, IT can prove it with detailed activity logs.

If McDonalds is having this problem, just think how many companies/organizations that Wave could also be helping with their solutions!!!

Rethink cybersecurity, and use Wave's awesome solutions!!!
