One of Canada’s largest credit unions, Coast Capital Savings Credit Union (CSS), with over 50 branches across the country, needed to protect critical PII data stored in their AWS cloud environments, Amazon Redshift, AWS EMR, and AWS S3. CSS had to meet Canadian regulatory standards for compliance in 2021, including the Personal Information Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), along with a data transformation initiative surrounding its architecture.

The proliferation of sensitive data continues to grow unabated, particularly for support agents using Zendesk. The Zendesk’s CX Trends 2022 Report found that ticket volume had increased across all channels, with webform/email up 10% YoY and chat up 17% YoY.

Data security policies are most often targeted around insider threats and external attackers, but your distributors can equally put intellectual property (IP) protection and other sensitive data at risk. IP is arguably a business’s most valuable asset and can take the form of product designs, software code, media content, etc. Protecting your IP is important because it allows your business to maintain a competitive edge in the market and generate revenue from your innovation.

We’ve all seen it in the movies: The chief of security declares that no one could ever steal the “Famous Jewel” because it’s protected by thick glass, an impenetrable system of motion-detecting lasers, and, finally, a weight-sensitive sensor. Cut to the next scene, where a thief, dressed in sleek black, zip-lines from an open skylight, shorts the lasers, scores the glass, and with split-second timing, swaps the jewel for a replica of equal weight.

In today's interconnected world, modern organizations face an ever-increasing array of cybersecurity threats. One of the most effective ways to protect sensitive data and ensure zero trust data security is by fostering a strong culture of security awareness among employees.

Analysis on 3,000 websites and over 100,000 associated webpages (using the client-side security scanning feature of Feroot Inspector) revealed that pixels/trackers are collecting and/or transferring data prior to the explicit consent (e.g., cookie acceptance) of a website user. (While some do not require actual consent for one reason or another, the consent is not explicitly made.) Table 1 shows the degree to which some pixels/trackers were present on the analyzed websites.

In an analysis of over 3,000 websites and over 100,000 associated webpages (using the client-side security scanning feature of Feroot Inspector) across 6 sectors, it was discovered that TikTok pixels/trackers were present on 7.41% of the analyzed websites (shown in Table 1). Here, TikTok pixels/trackers were within the code of the web pages that load into a user’s browser from those websites.
