The recent data exfiltration event targeting Nike has sent ripples through the industry. With a staggering 1.4 Terabytes of data—including R&D blueprints and manufacturing schematics—leaked by the extortion group WorldLeaks, the incident highlights a shift in the threat landscape. Attackers are no longer just locking doors; they are stealing the keys to the kingdom and selling them to the highest bidder.
For organizations building the next generation of security infrastructure, this is a wake-up call to move beyond traditional perimeters.
Why “cheaper” security is silently the most expensive decision you’ll make
Every business is under pressure to cut costs.
- You negotiate rent.
- You squeeze vendors.
- You delay upgrades.
That’s normal.
The problem starts when security lands in the same bucket as office furniture and printer cartridges.
In today’s connected business world, no company operates in isolation. We rely on partners, vendors, and consultants to deliver technology, manage data, and improve operations. But when one of those partners suffers a cyberattack — like the recent Red Hat–GitLab breach, where sensitive configuration data and credentials were exposed — the impact can quickly ripple through the entire ecosystem.
Even if your organization wasn’t directly targeted, your data, credentials, or configurations stored with that partner could still be at risk.
In today’s digital-first world, cybersecurity is more than a compliance checkbox — it’s a cornerstone of business continuity, customer trust, and national resilience. At GajShield, we don’t just make firewalls — we build intelligent, context-aware security solutions that empower organisations to move fast, stay secure, and grow with confidence.
