Human risk management: The key to a culture of cybersecurity
All employees make mistakes—whether that’s a typo in an email, sending a document to the wrong person or missing a deadline. Some mistakes, though, have greater consequences than others, especially when it comes to cybersecurity and compliance. Sending a sensitive document to the wrong recipient, for example, can be an immediate data breach and compliance […]
Runtime data security vs DSPM
In the alphabet soup of cloud security tools, few acronyms have risen faster—or with more promise—than data security posture management (DSPM).

Security training is failing. Here’s what really works.
Companies are pouring more money than ever into training their people to spot and stop cyber threats. But despite the investment, one stubborn issue won’t go away: humans are still behind the vast majority of data breaches.

Overcoming supply chain risk with third-party management
In the past month alone, big names like Hertz, WK Kellogg, and DBS Bank have all reported serious data breaches. But these attacks weren’t the result of flaws in their own systems.
