3 Essential Requirements of Advanced PII Data Classification
3 Essential Requirements of Advanced PII Data Classification
Data classification technology has remained the same for over a decade, frustrating security, data, IT professionals and other employees. It is hard to implement and requires constant human intervention, only providing limited information. A new approach, Advanced PII Classification, is a cloud-native and agentless solution that classifies data and captures deep context about the data with high accuracy and speed, making it easy to implement and execute quickly, resulting in highly accurate data classes.
Pursuing Resilience – Collaboration is Where The Magic Happens
Pursuing Resilience – Collaboration is Where The Magic Happens
The blog by Ari Weil highlights the importance of resilience in both personal and business contexts. Resilience in business involves adapting to disruptions while maintaining continuous operations and safeguarding people, assets, and brand equity. Self-awareness, mindfulness, self-care, positive relationships, and a sense of purpose are important for developing resilience. In the modern era, data breaches are a significant threat to business resilience, and mindfulness of data is crucial to maintaining business resilience. To ensure business resilience, businesses need to be intentional about cultivating knowledge about their data, its value, and how to manage it appropriately. Cyera, a data security platform, can help businesses gain deep knowledge of their data. Ultimately, reaching a common understanding of what represents value is business-critical, and striking a balance between agility and cybersecurity is where the magic happens.

3 Attack Vectors that Expose Data at Financial Services Firms
Financial services firms face persistent data security challenges due to increasing volumes of data and the evolving nature of cyber attacks. Attack vectors that security teams may miss include phishing, cloud vulnerabilities, and insider risks. Financial services firms must answer five key questions about their data to improve their data security, including where it is, what it is, how it is used, how to secure it, and how to defend it. A holistic data security solution like Cyera's can help financial services firms inventory, classify, contextualize, and safeguard their data to prevent data loss through popular attack vectors.
Data Security for Pharma Companies: Safeguarding R&D and IP Data
Data Security for Pharma Companies: Safeguarding R&D and IP Data
Pharma data faces a double dose of cyber threat. While profit-motivated actors continue to target pharma companies for monetizable data (last year, Industrial Spy offered to sell stolen Novartis data on the darknet for $500,000), nation-state-sponsored threat actors are also going after the pharma industry to score political points. The resulting cyber risk can be so vast that it is challenging to quantify. Case in point, Merck is still fighting billion-dollar court battles after some of its subsidiaries became a target for Russian state-backed cyber criminals in 2017.

Putting Data Back into DLP: Why You Need a Cloud-native Data Security Solution
Over the past few decades, many organizations have adopted data loss prevention (DLP) solutions to secure their sensitive data. This initially worked in the early days of the Internet, but the reality is that legacy DLP solutions can’t effectively prevent data loss in today’s cloud-first landscape.
What it Means to Be Holistic Cloud-First Data Security: a Product Q&A with Cyera
