While the GDPR will require businesses to comply with rules that will ultimately protect customer data, concerns have been raised regarding how it will tackle automation in data analytics as the market for artificial intelligence (AI) continues to grow.

An emerging threat actor called Gold Galleon targets maritime shipping companies, related businesses, and their customers in business email compromise (BEC) and social engineering attacks.

Due to BEC’s evolving and treacherous nature, run-of-the-mill best practices and security solutions have become weak to withstand attacks. Find out how advanced solutions that utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning help in defending against BEC.

A medida que los entornos ganan en interconexión, las amenazas se vuelven cada vez más sofisticadas. Así lo confirman los acontecimientos más destacados del año pasado en materia de seguridad.

We looked into the state of email threats and security in 2017 to provide a clearer picture of what organizations are up against — and what can protect them.

We looked at BEC-related incidents over a span of nine months to see emerging and present trends from BEC incidents, examine the tools and techniques used by cybercriminals, and analyze the data to give us an overall picture of what BEC looks like today.

Today's increasingly interconnected environments pave the way for threats that will bank on systems' weaknesses for different forms of cybercrime. How can you prepare for the year ahead?

Major events shook the global threat landscape in the first half of 2017. Our midyear security roundup covers the old and the new, from ransomware and BEC scams to potential attacks against industrial robots.
