Whether it’s splitting the bill after a night out on the town or sending money for your niece’s graduation, more Americans are relying on peer-to-peer payment services like Cash App than ever before. It’s a quick and seamless way to make financial transactions trusted by millions of users. Cash App makes it easy to receive and send money and is renowned for its convenience. But while Cash App transactions are generally safe, users could still be susceptible to Cash App scams.

When talking about big influences on cybersecurity, we tend to think about sweeping trends like digital transformation and the hybrid work revolution. And that makes sense. Cloud adoption, for example, has created complex corporate infrastructures. This is forcing the security industry to rethink how they protect data.

The central issue behind the latest headline-grabbing security breach – an incident that directly impacted several major US government agencies – highlights pervasive issues related to many organizations’ use of the popular Office 365 and Azure Microsoft cloud platforms.

Over the last few years, we have seen more and more organizations moving into hybrid and remote working environments. With that change, IT teams have learned that they cannot trust the network like they have in the past. Using the internet, employees now have direct access to your organization's resources, circumventing traditional security tools like virtual private networks (VPNs) and firewalls.

In today's security conscious climate, countries and organizations worldwide waste little time debating whether a risky mobile application should be banned — regardless of its popularity. With security and data privacy at the center of public and private sector conversations, these issues typically come about when an app is found to have concerning data collection and handling practices.

The way we connect in the workplace has changed. For one, “the workplace” isn’t just limited to the office anymore, and that means instead of relying on a corporate network, employees are using the internet to get their work done. While this has been a game-changer for enabling productivity, this reliance on the internet also opens you up to a host of internet-based threats.

With new technology being developed at a rapid pace, adaptability is crucial for a company to thrive against its competitors. IT cloud modernization is a great way to drive sales growth, have the edge over your competitors, and boost your employees’ productivity while enabling greater satisfaction and collaboration with your partners, contractors, and customers.

The first steps for any organization in creating a data security strategy are accurately identifying all of their sensitive information and securing that data from unauthorized access, regardless of where it resides. This is why I’m excited to announce the integration of Titus and Boldon James, leading data classification systems from Fortra (formerly HelpSystems), with the Lookout security service edge (SSE) solution.
