Partnering to Overcome the Skills Gap in Cloud Computing

For organisations that are always trying to leverage the latest technology to gain an edge over their competitors, utilising public cloud computing is at the top of the list for most decision makers. The scalability and cost-effectiveness, along with businesses not needing to invest in traditional infrastructure and having it managed by a third party, offers a myriad benefits for companies in all industries.

Inside a Cyberattack: How Hackers Steal Data

The truth about cybersecurity is that it's almost impossible to keep hackers outside of an organisation, particularly as the cybercrime industry becomes increasingly sophisticated and their technology more advanced. Furthermore, once a hacker has broken through an organisation's defences, it is relatively easy to move within the network and access information without being detected for days and even months. This is a significant concern for Banking and Financial Services organisations, which house valuable sensitive and Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

Data at Risk: 96% of Ransomware Attacks Involve Data Theft

A new report from Arctic Wolf has found that 96% of ransomware attacks now involve data theft as criminals seek to force victims to pay up. “As potential victims implemented more reliable backup and restoration processes, ransomware operators introduced data exfiltration as a means to apply additional pressure and protect their revenue streams,” Arctic Wolf says.

What is PCI DSS?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a global security framework established by major credit card brands that outlines security requirements for any organization handling cardholder data, including encryption, access control, and network security. PCI DSS is regularly updated, and Version 4.0, effective March 2025, focuses on allowing organizations to tailor security controls to their specific needs.

How to Identify and Protect Personal Information

Personal information also referred to as personally identifiable information (PII) and Protected Personal Information (PPI), has a good and bad side for companies. All businesses record the personal information of their clients (names, debit/credit cards, address, etc.) to identify them and execute certain business operations. These business operations may range from meeting payrolls, to filling orders, and advertising. This makes the user and business operations run much faster and smoother.

Enterprise Browsers Belong with a Unified Data Security Solution

An enterprise browser (EB) on its own provides a secure managed environment on unmanaged devices and BYOD for web access to company applications and resources. However, alone as an island, EB often lacks TLS traffic inspection and the ability to provide data security and DLP controls.

Empowering Data Security in GenAI: Step-by-Step Guide to PII Safeguarding in Bedrock using Protegrity

Generative AI (GenAI) applications, especially through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, are transforming business interactions with data. These pipelines leverage language models and extensive enterprise knowledge bases for real-time queries of large internal datasets. Robust data privacy and security solutions are essential. Amazon Bedrock’s native security guardrails address this need.

Why Immutable Backups Are Essential for Data Security in DevOps

Immutable backups (IB) are a robust defense mechanism against the consequences of cyberattacks. The latter can be considered an “evolving constant,” while DevOps environments closely link development and operations. IT teams adopt CI/CD pipelines and centralized applications utilizing multi-cloud deployment. And that usually translates into a growing attack surface (check 2024 DevOps Threats Unwrapped).

Data Security Platforms Are Essential for Modern Businesses

The way we think about data security is changing. Organizations need to protect sensitive information while still making it accessible for innovation and business growth. But as cyber threats grow more sophisticated and regulations become more stringent, security teams face a major challenge. This is where Data Security Platforms (DSPs) come in—they provide a unified approach to safeguarding data, ensuring compliance, and reducing complexity.
