Data Protection Day, impending in Europe, serves as a global reminder of one of the most important responsibilities for any organisation: keeping sensitive data secure.

The concept of bring your own device (BYOD) has been around for years, but since the shift to more remote and hybrid working around the world, its popularity has reached bold new heights.

The recent GoDaddy data breach saw the potential exposure of 1.2 million customers' data.

Despite many high profile instances of online fraud, it can be easy to become complacent about the dangers. But in today’s world, where everyone has a unique digital identity based on our online presence, the threats are very real.

For IT and security professionals, the job is becoming more complex day by day. With widely dispersed teams fast becoming the norm, new technologies emerging, and an ever-increasing level of threats, it's a demanding job that takes a lot to keep up. 

“Bitglass and Forcepoint share the same vision for disrupting and transforming the security industry with the first modern distributed edge architecture."

Organisations are becoming increasingly reliant on cloud-based applications for employees who spend more time working remotely, putting more pressure on security.

Organisations can embrace digital transformation with confidence by including these crucial considerations in data protection strategy planning and execution.

The impact of uptime and performance across cloud security solutions is coming under increased scrutiny.

Organisations are ill-equipped to deal with growing security threats such as malware and data theft. 

Organisations can embrace digital transformation with confidence by including these critical considerations in data protection strategy planning and execution.

In parallel with any physical form of identification, digital identities must be protected at all costs to prevent identity theft or fraud.

All organisations need advanced threat protection to stop ransomware attacks and ease the impact if they do occur, writes Bitglass CTO Anurag Kahol.

Organisations should monitor all file, app, user and web activity with comprehensive activity logs to uncover the whereabouts of consumers’ data.

With so many people working from home, the corresponding surge in app usage, unmanaged devices, web traffic and accessing internal resources is making security a much trickier prospect.

Legacy network security solutions built around on-premises architectures cannot support the evolving demands placed on IT, writes Bitglass CTO Anurag Kahol.

With so many question marks over the road ahead, enterprises need a solution that enables flexibility to work in any environment, as they try to acclimatise to the ‘new normal', writes Bitglass CTO Anurag Kahol.

Key components of network security architecture for the cloud era should be built from the ground up, as opposed to being bolted on to legacy solutions built for organisations functioning only on-premises or from only managed devices.

A report has found 61% of companies had an insider attack in past year.

Bitglass designed its SAML relay to allow a cloud access security broker (CASB) to be inserted into the traffic flow between users and cloud services during the login process.

41% of businesses are yet to implement any steps to expand secure access of their remote workforces despite over 75% of employees now working from home.

Bitglass’ 2020 BYOD Report suggests that BYOD and personal device security in organisations still leave much to be desired, even as more organisations adopt flexible BYOD arrangements.

Bitglass has announced a deepened integration with Duo Security, now part of Cisco, as it looks to strengthen security for the modern workforce.

leading enterprise database was also used to identify whether each company had a chief information security officer (CISO) or a chief security officer (CSO). The results proved extremely interesting…
