The “Russian Laundromat” scheme is a notorious example of how complex and far-reaching financial crimes can be. Running from 2010 to 2014, this scheme funneled between $20 billion and $80 billion out of Russia, using a network of shell companies and global banks, many of which were based in Moldova and Latvia. This was not a small operation — it involved around 500 people, many of whom were wealthy Russians, and relied on thousands of transactions to launder the money.

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for email systems helps organizations prevent sensitive data within email from being lost, leaked, or accessed by unauthorized individuals, be it an insider risk or malicious behavior from outside. Solutions for email DLP monitor inbound and outbound messages, searching for loss risks like content or attachments that are sensitive, confidential, or protected by regulation. Email DLP systems can flag, block, or delete an email based on custom policy.

As companies handle increasingly sensitive information, securing data in motion—the data actively transferred across networks or between devices—has become an important priority. Whether moving through corporate networks, across mobile devices, or stored in the cloud, this data is particularly vulnerable to threats from malicious actors, insider threats, and unauthorized users.

Quebec’s Law 25, also known as Bill 64, imposes strict rules on how organizations handle personal information. With the final phase of implementation now in effect (September 2023), businesses need to ensure Law 25 compliance to avoid hefty fines and maintain customer trust. Here’s what you need to know, along with answers to frequently asked questions.

Operationalizing any new security platform begins with the process of integrating the platform with an organization’s existing infrastructure and workflows. To get the most value out of the system we need to offer an easy path to adoption if we want to crossover from theoretical security concepts into practical, day-to-day operations that protect against cyber threats. Technology change is hard, but changing the way people work is even harder.

Every organization faces data security threats, which become more complex when integrating technologies like cloud computing or hybrid working options. That’s why it is critical to implement robust data protection to safeguard critical assets such as intellectual property, personally identifiable information, and sensitive financial data. This challenge is further augmented by the growing number of regulations imposed by governmental and industry bodies.

Almost every company has a system for organizing file storage, which employees use regularly. Streamlining data storage in a corporate environment is not just about improving business processes; it is also about ensuring security. It is challenging to protect data if you do not know where it is stored, what it contains, its value, who owns it, who has access to it, and what its most significant threats are. This is where Data-Centric Audit and Protection (DCAP) systems come into play.

The secure exchange of information between the Government, Defence and the supply chain is critical to operational outcomes. A Community of Interest (COI) is often used to facilitate multi-party coordination and collaboration between these parties but is often difficult to implement. Let’s explore the use cases, challenges and tools for creating COIs for secure information exchange.

In a world where data breaches hit the headlines almost daily, organizations need effective data protection measures more than ever. Let's dive into the world of Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and discover how this powerful software can safeguard your organization's most valuable asset: your data.
