Workforce verification and privacy: How to manage data retention, vendor risk, and compliance

For many security teams, the 2023 MGM Resorts cyberattack was a wake-up call. A single vishing attack exploited weak identity assurance in help desk workflows and disrupted casino and hotel operations for days, causing hundreds of millions in losses and reputational damage.

Why Government Legislation on Security Is Failing (Badly)

Government legislation on online safety, age verification and encryption is being written without consulting cybersecurity professionals.
