We live in risky times. Security incidents and data breaches are more common than ever and digital-minded companies usually bear the brunt of it. Organizations are constantly at risk and can be compromised in no time by ransomware, cyberattacks, social engineering, and corporate espionage. But, in truth, the most common way companies are undermined and infiltrated is through the actions of individual members inside of the organization itself.

With digitalization and the “upgradation” of technology, e-commerce businesses have managed to gather a huge volume of data. It is the age of the internet of things (IoT) and industry-disrupting technologies like cloud computing, big data, mobile apps, and cloud cybersecurity are now major priorities for businesses. Over the past ten years, malware infections have been on the rise, of which 92% were delivered by email.

Cybersecurity is an important issue when it comes to online sales and eCommerce businesses. With cybercrime growing, developing, and profiting off of unsuspecting online users, it's important for you and your employees to take cybersecurity seriously. Here in this post, you will read about cyberattacks, cybercrime, the importance of cybersecurity for your online business, and how cybersecurity saves businesses time and money.

There are plenty of niche movie genres out there - road comedies, spaghetti westerns, Brenden Fraser films - all have their merits and their own special place in any true cinephile's heart. Today, we’re going to dive deep into the ridiculously specific micro-genre of cybersecurity movies.

Encryption has come a long, long way over the last few years. Something once reserved only for militaries and governments, encryption has been made super accessible and has become standard practice in the tech industry. Whether it’s texts, photos, or word docs - it can, and should, be encrypted. Put simply, encryption scrambles any file sent or stored online into unreadable nonsense that can only be translated (or decrypted) by a user with a key.

As more and more businesses and individuals choose to store their data online, ensuring the safety of information is becoming exceptionally crucial. According to recent statistics from the Hosting Tribunal, over 95% of IT professionals use cloud storage. This number is expected to grow steadily.

Internxt is a little different than your average cloud service. Our secure storage was designed from the ground up with the user and their privacy in mind. To do this, we’ve built our service for Web3, which means the information we encrypt and store is decentralized and our business model has nothing to do with selling data.

Do you remember when viruses used to be funny and not such a big deal? Maybe a cat would constantly pop up on your desktop or you’d get spammed with hundreds of ads for male enhancement pills? Well, the early 2000s are over (yes, it’s depressing) and malware has advanced far beyond its somewhat quirky origins. Today, viruses have become extremely sophisticated and it’s difficult to know for sure if your files have been infected or not. So what is malware exactly?

Online privacy is no laughing matter, until it is. Now, we’re very serious about fundamental human digital rights and we work day and night to make sure our users' data is wrapped up safe and sound. But that said, sometimes you need to take a step back and relax. Yes, how corporations and governments track us online is horrifying. Of course, the erosion of personal privacy and individual freedoms is worrying. And yeah, the world and the internet are in rough shape right now.
