By now, you've probably sick of reading about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's New York City nuptials. Apologies if you came to the Huntress blog to escape it all. But even if you're allergic to celebrity gossip, you have to admit that the security apparatus surrounding America's Royal Wedding was impressive. And hey, it worked. As of this writing, no one's even seen the dress yet. As Huntress' newly hired Swiftie in Residence, I've compiled some Tay-keaways for cybersecurity professionals on how to protect your crown jewels from paparazzi threat actors. 1. Make your environment a fortress Madison Square Garden was already equipped with its own world-class set up of metal detectors, badges, facial recognition technology, security cameras, and door alarms. Add to that the couple's private security team, the NYPD, and even the FBI and National Guard, and you've got an impenetrable citadel, what Taylor might call "unbreakable heaven." Defender Tay-keaway: Like the meaning behind Taylor's lyrics, the strongest security postures are multi-layered. Weaving human analysis with SIEM and cutting-edge detection and response technology is the best way to achieve defense in depth. Key lyric: Baby, I know places we won't be found, and They'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down 2. Trust no one There's no doubt that Taylor and Travis's employees, vendors, and even guests were required to sign strict non-disclosure agreements ahead of the big day. A few MSG employees were reportedly escorted off the premises during the event for violating the strict no-phones policy. In other words, the wedding was not BYOD. Defender Tay-keaway: Authenticate early and often. Combining multi-factor authentication and single-sign on secures user accounts while avoiding login fatigue. Key lyric: I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me 3. Throw off the scent Known to strategically leak false stories
