Security

Written by Jasper de Taeye, Sales Director for the Benelux market at Wire™. At the beginning of January 2020, the first people nudged me about the rise of a virus that could become a pandemic. We all know by now how it disrupted our world entirely. I was an ignorant Dutchman and I believed it would not become that dramatic. I truly believed, and mostly hoped, that this coronavirus will be nipped in the bud, like previous viruses, by the strictly regulated China.

Last month I started working in the cybersecurity space. Cybersecurity has always been quite a mysterious word to me. I pictured cybersecurity to be a company’s security walls to protect themselves from all kind of hackers sitting in dark rooms attacking companies through the internet wearing badass eye masks.

Searching for an alternative to Veriato? Veriato offers products like Cerebral (previously Veriato 360), Vision, Veriato Investigator and Veriato RansomSafe for advanced user behavioral analytics and insider threat prevention. And while they have handy features like Endpoint Control to lock or remotely access compromised computers, Veriato isn’t the best solution out there. Why? It’s highly complicated and better suited to a large organization that handles sensitive data.

The takeover of high profile Twitter profiles last month on July 15 made headlines when public figures like former President Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk began announcing that they wanted to “give back” to the community. But instead of making a donation to a COVID-related charity or something similar, they were promising that if people would send them Bitcoin, then they would return twice as much as they were given.

We’re relentlessly innovating to stay ahead of cybersecurity threats. Here’s how we’re helping customers keep their information and data secure

In something reminiscent of David and Goliath, the stone of Max Schrems’ landmark legal challenge has shattered the Privacy Shield that protects centralised service providers. This is a really big deal. It means that the personal data of an EU data subject (‘person’) cannot be transferred from within the EU to the US without an appropriate mechanism.

2019 was the worst year on record for data breaches by a long shot, increasing by nearly 79% from 2018. Billions of records were compromised as bad actors exploited vulnerabilities and insiders accidentally and maliciously compromised customer and company data. Unfortunately, the record won’t last long. As we approach the halfway point in 2020, this year is already on pace to be the most devastating year ever for data breaches.

Teamwork is delighted to share our latest security update: we’ve successfully completed our ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification. Paired with our recent achievement of SOC 2 Type 1, we’re continuing our commitment to deliver a safe experience to our customers.

Making the transition to a work from home arrangement has been a heavy lift for a lot of organizations. However, due to various risk factors and regulations, making the sudden shift to working from home has been more complicated for some sectors than others. Industries such as the financial and healthcare sectors, as well as those working for the government, face tighter restrictions on how they are allowed to work remotely.

After months of wide-spread lockdowns in response to the novel Coronavirus, many countries and companies are beginning to lift restrictions. As this process begins, it’s clear that many things will look different than before the pandemic. This is especially true for the workplace, where many people are expected to work from home indefinitely. In a call center environment where employees work in tight spaces using shared equipment, the need to facilitate a new normal will be especially noteworthy.
