Ransomware, phishing, and malware are persistent and ever-evolving threats that today’s remote workspaces need to consider. The shift to a remote-first office, which for many has become permanent, has meant that companies need to be better equipped to protect their data in the cloud. Today, more than 45% of malware is delivered via the cloud.
Most companies are determined to make remote work feasible for the future. To do so, they need the right tools to maintain data security while their employees work here, there, and everywhere. There are many tools on the market that enable cloud security, and understanding which options are right for your business can be confusing. Different vendors offer different features, compliance with different regulations, levels of complexity, and types of coverage.

Tools like Nightfall and BetterCloud aim to reduce this potential risk in different ways.
There are many types of solutions available to organizations that seek to secure their data in the cloud. From cloud DLP to Cloud Access Security Brokers (CASBs) to Cloud Workload Protection Platforms (CWPPs). But, how can you tell which approach to cloud security is right for your business?

“PII” stands for personally identifiable information. Hackers often target personally identifiable information for a variety of reasons: to steal a customer’s identity, take over an account, launch a phishing attack, or damage an organization.
