A world with no trust wouldn’t be great, but when it comes to cybersecurity, Zero Trust is actually a good thing.

With the recent announcement of OpenAI’s ChatGPT desktop application for macOS, users gain access to LLM workflows outside of their browser. ChatGPT’s broad adoption by employees across industries, and around the world, has put employers, compliance, and security teams into high gear as they seek to balance the gains made in productivity with the potential risks of how these tools are being used.

When you create an account, you may be prompted to set up a security question for authentication. Security questions add a layer of security alongside your login credentials. Following best practices for security questions involves using different questions for different accounts, avoiding self-written questions, using multiple security questions and updating security questions and answers regularly.

Cybercriminals gather personal information about their targets by using social engineering techniques, looking at social media accounts and collecting data that gets leaked from public data breaches. The more personal information a cybercriminal can collect about their target, the easier it is for them to launch cyber attacks that their targets will easily fall for. Continue reading to learn more about how cybercriminals gather their target’s personal information and how you can keep your data safe.

The European Union (EU) Network and Information Systems (NIS) Directive came into force in 2018 to increase the security levels of network and information systems for EU organisations. This directive was recently updated to become the NIS2 Directive and is set to become law across the EU in October 2024.

When we think about storing sensitive information, two types of information come to mind: digital data and physical data. While physical data can be securely stored in a physical vault, digital data should be stored in an encrypted cloud storage solution to protect it from common cyber threats. Continue reading to learn the best ways to store your sensitive physical and digital information, plus the storage methods to avoid.

Developers can now integrate their applications and services directly with 1Password using software development kits (SDKs) for Python, Javascript, and Go. The SDKs are available as open-source libraries in public beta.
