‍The process of achieving goals, whether long-term, short-term, personal, or professional, starts with harnessing the available relevant data. In fact, the more information gleaned beforehand, the more likely the mission will be a success. However, the details required for devising an effective plan exist at various granular levels, some overarching, focusing on the broader elements, and others more minute.

With a growing list of regulations adding to the pressure on already-stretched security teams, it's no surprise that many organizations are rethinking their approach to governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Even the best-resourced security teams struggle to balance meeting regulations with pursuing their individual goals around improving security posture. The good news is that workflow automation and orchestration can help - let’s find out how.

Election security is one of the most important parts of an election in order to preserve voter safety, prevent voter fraud, and, ultimately, build public trust in the electoral process. Because of the many external pieces that must come together during the election process, election organizers must use and implement effective Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) as part of their security strategy.

Higher education institutions are a growing target for cybercriminals due to the high volume of sensitive information and data they collect and use. From enrollment to matriculation, colleges and universities utilize student data for everything from financial aid packages to determining eligibility for coursework. According to a report by Check Point Research, the education sector (specifically higher education) has experienced significantly more cyber attacks than any other industry in recent years.

The EU Cyber Diplomacy Toolbox is a framework developed by the European Union to enhance its ability to prevent, deter, and respond to malicious cyber activities that may threaten its external security. The European Commission adopted the Toolbox in 2017 as part of the EU's broader strategy to promote a global, open, stable, and secure cyberspace.

The Utah State government passed the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA) in March 2022, scheduling the law to go into effect on December 31, 2023. Utah is the fourth state in the United States to pass a state privacy law. Compared to preceding US privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), and Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), the UCPA has a narrower scope, making the law more friendly to businesses and data controllers.

Exposure management tooling can act as an excellent source of truth for cybersecurity leaders as they communicate risk up to the board level. The visibility and data streaming from exposure management solutions makes it easier for CISOs to track security performance over time, quantify improvements in security maturity levels, establish better financial quantification of cyber risk and ensure the organization's exposure levels match up with industry averages.
