The Business Case for DSPM: Reducing Risk Through Continuous Visibility

Similar to many other industries today, modern IT is so complex. In the contemporary world, companies are dealing with data within cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments. This complexity brings about serious security challenges that cannot be solved by conventional security tools. The solution is DSPM (data security posture management); it offers full-time visibility to your data. This will enable you to identify weak spots before an attack. It also assists you in staying secure and compliant and safeguarding your data.

Embracing Zero Trust: Lessons from Australia's Defence Supply Chain Data Breach

Earlier this week, The Australian broke the news that the Cyber Touhan hacking group stole classified plans for Australia’s new infantry fighting vehicles, a $7B AUD procurement program, in a massive cyber-attack targeting 17 Israeli defence contractors in the supply chain. The attack was carried out by targeting a downstream supplier, MAYA Technologies, exploiting vulnerabilities in their network and peripherals to gain access to sensitive data.

AI Browsers Are Silently Exfiltrating Sensitive Data - and Legacy DLP Can't See It

A new class of AI-powered browsers are rewriting the rules of data security. While CISOs focus on traditional vectors, employees are unknowingly creating permanent backdoors to your most sensitive data through browsers that remember everything, sync everywhere, and share it all with AI models. The bottom line: If you're not actively protecting against AI browser exfiltration, you're already leaking data. Here's why it's happening, what it costs, and how to stop it today.

Data classification and DLP: Prevent data loss, prove compliance

A successful data security strategy isn’t about one tool, it’s about a sequence of steps. The first is understanding your data. The second is controlling how it moves. Together, classification and DLP create a data security foundation that prevents data leaks and breaches without slowing down the business. Unlike point tools, modern data classification solutions continuously scan repositories in real time, ensuring new files and updates are labeled correctly as your environment changes.
