With over 100 million users and partnerships with Microsoft, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and more, ChatGPT has become the herald of an AI revolution since its launch in late 2022. The rise of this AI-powered natural language processing tool comes down to two distinct features: its conversational nature, which allows anyone to ask questions and receive detailed and helpful responses, and its access to a global knowledge base.

Mobile devices have made it possible for employees to work and communicate from just about anywhere. But that convenience comes at a price. The rise of mobile devices and the rise of mobile security threats have gone hand-in-hand. Mobile devices like phones, tablets, and ChromeOS devices present an incredible vector for phishing, social engineering, and malware distribution—and threat actors are keenly aware of that fact.

Remote work and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) culture have made mobile devices a permanent part of our work lives. In today’s professional world, mobile devices can do basically everything a laptop or desktop can do — including get phished. Mobile devices are increasingly the starting point of the modern kill chain, and mobile phishing plays an important role in the process. Understanding how threat actors attack mobile devices is the first step to keeping data and devices secure. ‍

As cloud computing has evolved, we’ve entrusted more and more of our data to it. Our everyday correspondence is in the cloud; our favorite applications are in the cloud; and, more and more, our most sensitive data is in the cloud. To protect the integrity of your organization’s assets, you’ll need a comprehensive cloud security strategy. However, the cloud isn’t a single piece of hardware or software.

For most organizations, the decision to adopt cloud technologies is a simple one. Cloud apps streamline operations and costs while enabling users to access resources from anywhere and on any device. But migrating to the cloud has also introduced some complexity, which comes with new risks. Instead of everything residing neatly within your corporate perimeter, your data now resides within countless apps and is being handled by users and endpoints that operate outside of your sphere of influence.

Cyber attacks often begin with reconnaissance. Before they launch an attack, threat actors poke and prod at an organization’s defenses, looking for vulnerabilities. If you’ve invested in robust cybersecurity solutions, you may feel you’re protected against that threat. But what if your attackers don’t target your corporate network? What if, instead, they target your employees? And what if your employees don’t even know they’re being targeted?

Cloud computing has changed the way we work, and mostly for the better. Widely available cloud applications let us create new documents, access our existing files, and communicate with our coworkers from just about anywhere. However, cloud computing has also created new data security and privacy concerns. A comprehensive CASB DLP policy can help address these concerns and keep your organization’s data exactly where it belongs.

Mobile devices are now an integral part of the way we work, and because of that, mobile security has become a necessity when it comes to protecting an organization’s data. Yet with many IT and security teams already stretched to the limit, the task of incorporating mobile security into their existing operations may seem like an impossible task.

While virtual private networks (VPNs) have been the go-to solution for remote access for decades, the surge in remote work during the pandemic has highlighted the cracks in its armor. Granting unrestricted access to everything stored within a corporate network can quickly become a security nightmare, especially as remote workers continue to rely on an increasing number of devices and access points.

Whereas traditional hacking exploits weaknesses in software or hardware, social engineering exploits weaknesses in the human psyche. By preying on people’s habits, fears, or complacency, attackers can gain access to almost any system, no matter how sensitive or well-protected. The ubiquity of personal mobile devices in the workplace has only exacerbated the threat.
