Data breaches pose the most significant risks to our data. Despite the strict measures companies follow to encrypt and protect user data, sometimes the worst-case scenario happens, and you have been alerted that your data has leaked online. Many companies, from healthcare to social media, have been victims of data breaches. One of those major companies that made the list is Discord.

...despite all intentions to follow best practices, they don't. When you automate enforcement of best practices, you can ensure those practices are followed...

The Channel Partners Conference & Expo (CPExpo) is more than just a gathering; it’s a convergence of Channel partners, MSPs/VARs, industry leaders, innovators, and partners coming together to explore new opportunities, build relationships, and honor excellence.

Since 1991, Web Application Firewall, commonly referred to as WAF, has become one of the most common application security technologies available on the market. Since the last century, WAFs have evolved by incorporating the cloud and using Machine Learning instead of RegExp. Currently, few technologies, such as NG-WAF, RASP, WAAP, and a few others, have internal WAF capabilities, which prevent web applications and API threats.

Financial institutions are struggling to keep pace with technological advancements while ensuring data security and compliance with stringent regulations. Data modernisation has emerged as a critical strategy for banks to remain competitive, enhance customer experiences and fortify data security measures. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the importance of data modernisation in banking.

In a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape, organizations across all industries and sizes face an ever-growing array of sophisticated threats. Privileged accounts, in particular, have become prime targets for hackers, with nearly every major breach in recent years involving unauthorized access. Breaches caused by phishing and compromised credentials (the most common type of attack) cost an average of $4.76M and take almost 11 months to resolve.

Business email compromise (BEC) attacks surged by 246% last year, according to researchers at ReliaQuest.The researchers believe the increase is due to widely available phishing kits that facilitate BEC.

With QR-code phishing attacks on the rise, new data sheds light on just how unprepared organizations actually are in stopping and detecting these device-shifting attacks. One of the challenges with attacks is that we rely on security solutions to look for indicators of malicious intent. Content within an email, where a link points to, and the insides of an attachment can indicate potential foul play.

As the adoption of generative AI (GenAI) accelerates across enterprises, one of the most promising applications emerges in customer support. GenAI enables automated responses, allowing businesses to engage in natural conversations with customers and provide real-time chat support. However, this convenience comes with inherent risks, particularly concerning data privacy.

The modern enterprise relies on hundreds of SaaS apps, email services, generative AI (GenAI) tools, custom apps, and LLMs, which often contain sensitive data. For too long, security teams have been forced to patch together point solutions for coverage across these channels, increasing their workloads and creating opportunities for sensitive data to slip through the cracks. This is precisely where Nightfall’s single-pane-of-glass solution comes into play: With Nightfall Sensitive Data Protection.
