In today’s digital landscape, businesses face increasing pressure to protect personal data and ensure compliance with security and privacy mandates.

The holiday season starts on Black Friday and is the busiest time of year for retailers, but it’s also a peak period for cybercriminals who look to exploit vulnerabilities in business of all sizes.

If you run a business, your data should be just that: your business and nobody else’s.

In the early days of cloud security, like in the early days of endpoint, the focus was on prevention. This makes sense: preventative measures are an essential way to reduce risk. Blocking known threats and attack paths makes sense as a way to harden an organization’s cloud estate. For many organizations, a prevention-only strategy in the cloud might seem completely sufficient for reducing risk – and it is to an extent. But prevention alone can only go so far.

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face many of the same cybersecurity threats as large enterprises but often lack the resources to maintain robust security across all devices. As SMBs rely on a growing number of smartphones and tablets, they must defend against a range of mobile-focused cyberattacks. The need for comprehensive security has never been more urgent.

When we think about our data being leaked onto the internet, we often picture it as our financial records, our passwords, our names and addresses... what is less often considered is the exposure of our private medical information. A French hospital has found itself in the unenviable position of learning that hackers have gained access to the medical records of over 750,000 patients following a cyber attack.

As the year wraps up, many IT, security, compliance, and HR teams have unspent budgets that won’t roll over. Rather than scrambling for last-minute, low-value purchases, why not make smart, strategic investments that will pay dividends in 2025 and beyond? Are you concerned about—reducing insider risk, increasing workforce productivity, and guarding against compliance fines?

In the world of Kubernetes, optimizing cluster performance and reliability is paramount, especially when it comes to fundamental operations like DNS lookups. NodeLocal DNSCache is one such solution that helps reduce DNS latency by caching responses locally on each node. While this tool is effective in standard Kubernetes setups, complications arise when integrating it with advanced networking solutions such as eBPF-based dataplanes.

Cloud technology is rapidly becoming necessary for everyone to secure data online. Still, it has never been more important for businesses to evolve to the shifting digital landscape and migrate their data to the cloud. The public cloud computing market is estimated to be $675 billion this year, and it includes services related to business processes, platforms, infrastructure, and software.

In an era where data breaches, privacy violations, and regulatory fines dominate headlines, the need for robust privacy engineering has never been more critical. Yet, despite its growing prominence, privacy engineering is failing to meet the demands of businesses and consumers alike. To understand why, let’s explore what privacy engineering is, the challenges it faces, why its current state is insufficient, and the transformative shift needed to make it truly effective.
