A key share of growing technology is blockchain. Blockchain technology permits entities to share information quickly and firmly while not compromising on security. The engineering blockchain has hit the marketplaces everywhere nowadays. And it’s because blockchain has many applications that deliver higher output and reliability than the traditional network. Now that many businesses have begun to experiment with the blockchain, a full new sort of marketplace is developed.

Business email compromise (BEC) is big business for malicious actors. According to the 2021 FBI Internet Crime Report, BEC was responsible for nearly $2.4 billion in cyber crime losses in 2021. At its root, it’s a type of phishing attack. And with the rise of smartphones and tablets, attackers are expanding well beyond email. They now leverage other platforms such as SMS messages, messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp, and social media apps to target and compromise their targets.

With the rise of cloud-based applications, data loss prevention (DLP) has become an increasingly important part of information security. DLP refers to the policies and technologies used to prevent sensitive data from being lost or stolen. In the context of SaaS, this can include both the security measures implemented by the SaaS provider and the steps taken by the customer to protect their data.

“Zero trust” still confuses people—and for good reason. While the term conveys a certain absolute authority (“zero,” “nope,” “nothing”), contemporary approaches offer much more nuanced capabilities. And while zero trust today is typically associated with security initiatives, the concepts have their origin in the definition of network perimeters, who is granted access, and how that access is provided.
