How to Master Data Security Online for Businesses and Employees
Data security is becoming a monumental challenge for businesses and individuals as we all try to manage and protect our data online. We maintain a balance of security, privacy, and backups to protect our information and that of others. Businesses must navigate complex regulations alongside data breach protection to mitigate the risks of cyberattacks and financial loss with complex cloud infrastructures and disaster recovery methods.
DSPM vs DLP: Unraveling the Differences
In this episode of Into the Breach, James Purvis and Drew Russell discuss the key differences between Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Data Security Posture Management (DSPM). Drew explains that while DLP focuses on perimeter security, DSPM secures data at rest, offering a more proactive approach. Using a clever analogy, Drew illustrates how DSPM prevents issues before they occur, unlike DLP's reactive measures. They conclude by highlighting how both can work together to enhance data security.
Top Data Tokenization Tools of 2024: A Comprehensive Guide for Data Security
Data tokenization is a critical technique for securing sensitive information by substituting it with non-sensitive tokens. This process plays a crucial role in data protection, especially in industries handling large volumes of personal or financial information. Here, we explore the top data tokenization tools of 2024 to help organizations find the right solutions for protecting their data.
An elephant in Kairos: data-leak site emerges for new extortion group
It is nearing 2025, and data-leak sites (DLSs) for extortion groups continue to emerge. November 2024 continues this trend, with Cyjax observing the thirteenth most recent materialisation of a DLS for an extortion group calling itself “Kairos”. At the time of writing, Kairos has claimed attacks against six victims, two of which have acknowledged significant data breaches in 2024. However, it is unclear whether these are related.
Lessons from a Honeypot with US Citizens' Data
Prior to last week’s US Presidential Election, the Trustwave SpiderLabs team was hard at work investigating potential risks and threats to the election system, from disinformation campaigns to nation-state actors looking to exploit vulnerabilities. No information that may have potentially affected the election process was discovered at any time during the research. If it had, Trustwave SpiderLabs would have immediately disclosed its findings to the proper authorities.

Discover sensitive data in your cloud data stores with Sensitive Data Scanner
When engineering teams move their workloads to the cloud, it’s often possible that sensitive data—such as credit card numbers, login credentials, and personally identifiable information (PII)—unintentionally moves to the cloud with them. To secure this data, avoid costly breaches, and meet GRC requirements, these teams often catalog where this data is stored and establish the right controls to limit access.

Stop Data Loss in its Tracks with Cato DLP Enhancements
Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions are essential for safeguarding valuable data. They scan traffic to prevent the transmission of sensitive information such as credit card details and personal identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security Numbers (SSNs). However, traditional DLP solutions are often complex to configure, manage, and operate.
