Our smartphones are a treasure trove of personal information, making our handsets not just a useful device, but also a valuable source of data. How do we keep this precious commodity safe?
The financial services sector faces some unique challenges in the digital age. The volume and sensitivity of transactional data makes the industry a key target for malicious attacks, and the nature of digital banking can leave financial institutions (and their customers) vulnerable.
For governments and defense agencies, data sovereignty is paramount. Whether defense secrets, intellectual property, taxpayer information or even the electoral register, their communications are a prime target for hackers looking for everything from financial gain to political influence.
Welcome to our first review of the Quantum Computing landscape for 2021. This quarter’s news indicates that the use of quantum technology is set to rapidly increase over the next few years.
Cyber security for critical infrastructure applications requires different layers of protection where strong state-of-the art data encryption represents the last line of defense.
Since its inception, Blockchain adoption has grown significantly. Research in 2019 indicated 50% of businesses worldwide were either using, or considering the use of, the distributed ledger technology as part of their IT security strategy. Blockchain promises the secure exchange of digital assets...
