On Thursday, April 11, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Agency (CISA) warned customers of Sisense, a company that provides data analytics services to thousands of international companies, that they should reset their credentials for Sisense services and look out for suspicious activity involving their services.

Your digital footprint is the trail of data you leave behind online. It’s important to have a positive digital footprint to maintain your relationships, help you in all your personal and professional endeavors, and keep cybercriminals at bay.

Simply put, APIs (short for application programming interface) are how machines, cloud workloads, automation and other non-human entities communicate with one another. They also represent an access point to highly sensitive company data and services. Almost every organization uses these machine interfaces, and their usage is only growing because they are essential to digital transformation and automation initiatives.

Digital advancement has drastically changed businesses' operations, including increasing global data flows. One consequential aspect of this transformation is the transfer of data across national borders, which poses significant legal, privacy, and security challenges. The EU-US Privacy Shield was a critical agreement that previously protected data transferred between the European Union and the United States.
