Data De-identification: Definition, Methods & Why it is Important

Data is essential. Businesses, researchers, and healthcare providers rely on it. However, this data often contains sensitive personal information, creating privacy risks. Data de-identification helps mitigate these risks by removing or altering identifiers. This makes it harder to link data back to specific individuals. This process is vital for protecting sensitive information and allowing safe data use. Privacy is a growing concern. Regulations like HIPAA set strict rules.

The Evolution of Cyber Attacks: Lessons for Staying Safe in 2025

The pace at which cyberattacks are evolving has accelerated in recent years, driven by technological advances, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. The sophistication of cybercriminals' tactics has reached unprecedented levels, posing new challenges for traditional cybersecurity defenses. In this article, we will explore the key developments in cyber threats, identify emerging risks, and offer practical lessons on how businesses and individuals can stay safe in 2025.

Understanding Shadow IT in the Age of AI

With the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), there has been a flurry of new terms to describe an increasing variety of new problems. Some of those problems have been around for decades but are now more difficult to manage due to the versatility of AI-based tools and applications. One of those ongoing challenges is shadow IT with a new class of problems classified as shadow AI.

94% of U.K. Businesses Aren't Adequately Prepared for AI-Driven Phishing Scams

A new report makes it clear that U.K. organizations need to do more security awareness training to ensure their employees don’t fall victim to the evolving use of AI. Here at KnowBe4, we’ve long known that AI is going to be a growing problem, with phishing attacks and the social engineering they employ far more believable and effective.

Cybersecurity in 2025: Converging Identities, Private AIs and Autonomous APTs

2024 has proved historic for technology and cybersecurity—and we still have some distance from the finish line. We’ve witnessed everything from advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) to brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and humanoid robots. Alongside these innovations, new attack vectors like AI model jailbreaking and prompt hacking have emerged. And we also experienced the single largest IT outage the world has ever seen.

The Essential LLM Security Checklist

Large language models (LLMs) are transforming how we work and are quickly becoming a core part of how businesses operate. But as these powerful models become more embedded, they also become prime targets for cybercriminals. The risk of exploitation is growing by the day. More than 67% of organizations have already incorporated LLMs into their operations in some way – and over half of all data engineers are planning to deploy an LLM to production within the next year.
