As businesses manage their data, an effective and well-implemented data architecture is the blueprint companies need to utilize, structure, and store data to ensure it is handled safely and securely without interrupting business operations. Furthermore, businesses must consider how they can manage data while also complying with numerous regulations and auditing processes to prevent the risk of data breaches and cyber or network attacks.

Illicit streaming devices have become an unnoticed yet significant threat in many households and corporate environments. These devices, often advertised with wild promises of free access to premium content, have a dark side that many users might not be aware of. They operate much like the “black boxes” of the 1990s, offering access to pay-per-view events and premium channels at suspiciously low costs.

Nine in ten Americans now own a smartphone, according to a 2024 Pew Research study. And these smartphones are increasingly being used for work. A general rise in remote work since the COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the usage of mobile devices and personal software for work purposes, as people report in from home, coffee shops, or anywhere. This increased mobility offers many benefits for workers.

97% of enterprise leaders consider a well-executed API strategy critical in driving their organization's growth and protecting revenue streams, yet according to a recent study, 84% of security professionals reported API security incidents over the past year. In March, a GitHub breach exposed nearly 13 million API secrets that users had left in the repository over time, severely impacting customer trust and causing reputational damage.

In recent years, organizations have learned how crucial penetration testing is for enhancing cyber resilience. However, traditional penetration testing is insufficient in today’s dynamic threat landscape. Recent trends highlight the need for a more continuous and proactive approach to security testing, and continuous penetration testing is set to record huge growth over the next few years, both among large enterprises as well as SMEs.

In the past, an organization’s digital data was safe behind passwords, firewalls, and physical locked doors. Today, cloud computing and remote work have rendered these traditional approaches much less effective. Threat actors can launch attacks from almost any device, almost anywhere. Usernames and passwords are widely available on the dark web. To keep sensitive data safe, organizations must understand that any account — even one with the proper credentials — could be compromised.

Today's CISOs wear many hats. They are expected to be experts in technologies, negotiators, strategists, influencers, and a source of inspiration throughout the value chain. As cybersecurity threats evolve and grow, the role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) is becoming even more critical.

If you missed it, over the summer months launched our product on the AWS Marketplace with the promise to deliver the fastest “time-to-security” in the industry for new AWS users. We’ve also officially joined the AWS Partner Network (APN) as a validated AWS partner. This means we went through the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR). We are FTR-approved* and meet the well-architected best practices enforced by AWS, not to brag. ;) Psst.

Resilience strategies are failing. Despite their known importance, why is it so difficult to implement them effectively? Resilience is not a new concept, but it is one we talk about individually and through the lens of business that is often difficult to demonstrate. In today’s digital world, resilience strategies are being challenged more frequently, include more scope, and are being defeated by intentional and unintentional actions—users, third-party partners, and criminals.
