T-Mobile Data Hack 'Could Happen to Any of Us': Comcast CISO

Comcast's cybersecurity strategies include assessing how the company might be affected by major breaches like those against Colonial Pipeline and T-Mobile, said Chief Product and Information Security Officer Noopur Davis. She spoke Tuesday in Aspen, Colorado, at the Technology Policy Institute conference, where the previous day, the incident at T-Mobile was discussed and disclosed; see our reports here and here. "Immediately, yesterday, I had to step out of some of these sessions" at TPI when she heard of the data hacks against T-Mobile, Davis said: "My immediate, emotional response to seeing something like T-Mobile in the news is sympathy and empathy," and "it could happen to any of us." The reported incident spurred Comcast to look at "how did these threat actors get into T-Mobile" and are there "things that could impact us," Davis said. "Our surface is enormous" for possible attacks at Comcast, she added. "You have to start looking at that entire ecosystem." T-Mobile didn't comment on her remarks, saying it had no update on the incident. Davis also spoke to TPI about her company's cybersecurity strategy (see 2108170054).
