Private equity firms understand the threat of cyberattacks all too well, but they don’t always know the best way to proactively address this growing problem. According to a recent report by global consulting firm Deloitte, worldwide private equity assets under management (AUM) are anticipated to reach $5.8 trillion by 2025.
Cybersecurity regulations were long viewed as an esoteric afterthought, even as technology exploded into every corner of our lives. But that's no longer the case, as governments and businesses seek to get a better grip on privacy regulations and data protections. At Egnyte, we track legal and regulatory trends closely so we can better serve our customers and respond to changes. Based on those observations, here are our cybersecurity regulation predictions for 2022.
The number of ransomware attacks continues to grow, and that trend will likely continue in 2022. Organizations will be attacked, files will be encrypted, and victims will need to decide whether to pay ransom or try to implement expensive and painful recovery techniques on their own. That much, unfortunately, should come as no surprise, but what will be different is how those attacks are carried out.
Which is staler: 14-day-old bread or your point cloud data? Affordable, reality-capture technologies are rapidly changing how AEC firms conceive of, design, and build structures today. Companies are using laser scanners, 360-degree cameras, drones, smartphones, and more to capture high-fidelity data that details every dimension throughout a project. Stakeholders can then use that data to collaboratively visualize, plan, build, adjust, and complete projects faster and more accurately.
Bandwidth pricing is a major component of the cloud services model. And for a content-heavy service like a video or document store, egress costs can quickly spiral out of control. To mitigate this, it is important to put limits on the amount of data that can be downloaded in a given interval. However, bandwidth limiting for a multi-tenant SaaS product adds a few interesting challenges.
We’re excited to share several recent user experience improvements we’ve made across the platform, including multivariate anomaly detection and other new features aimed at improving content governance. Continue reading to learn about some of our top product releases for October.
If you receive a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) today, what will you do? How does your organization respond to a request from a customer who wants to know what personal data you have and how you use it? What if a customer requests the “right to be forgotten”? How do you know you have deleted every instance of personal data from all locations in your company? Will you be able to respond quickly and completely?
Third-party integrations are vital tools for expanding the capabilities of the Egnyte platform. Today, we’re excited to share a little more about how our partnership with Sumo Logic helps businesses get better, faster security insights from their data. Sumo Logic is an enterprise-grade, cloud-based service that collects, manages, and analyzes log data from all systems in the enterprise.
Life sciences companies increasingly rely on cloud computing environments to accelerate research. The cloud provides cost effective compute power, more efficient data processing, access to files and applications from anywhere, and advanced analytics tools to gain insights from data and manage it. But when a majority of that research is done by external contract research organizations (CROs) or in time zones on the other side of the world, that speed advantage can grind to a halt.
Configuration at scale is hard. At Egnyte, we’d developed a flexible system that was advantageous early on but put increasing stress on our engineers and processes as the company grew. And, being a cloud deployed software product, we needed to be able to serve all of its customers, which meant we had to come up with a solution that addressed our current challenges and set us up to support our future growth as well.
