Futureproofing is at the forefront of every entrepreneur’s mind. But putting ideas into practice can be a different challenge altogether.
If a business deals with personal data, it inevitably faces data protection and privacy legislation issues. Here is how the hybrid cloud helps address those.
Properly securing sensitive customer data is more important than ever.
Equity crowdfunding was not the easiest choice to make, but it kept us true to our core values of trust, transparency, and user-centricity.
The New York Times declared the 2010s as “The Decade Tech Lost Its Way.” And it’s easy to agree when you look back at the Cambridge Analytica scandal, tech companies who consistently got off easy after privacy violations and the rise of sweeping new regulations to protect personal data.
If you are considering sending notifications to the users of your SaaS application, whether via email, push, or a Slack bot, you need to keep GDPR in mind.
We hear the horror stories of data leaks almost every day. Some require a sophisticated attack to gain shell access to the servers. Some happen over the web using the SQL injections in the web apps. As a result of this attack, your customer data can be dumped and personal data leaked.
When it comes to security incidents, it’s not a question of if, but when they will happen. 80% of organizations say that they have experienced some kind of cybersecurity incident in the last year.

Freedom and privacy tend to go together, but there is a difference. With a more private phone, does it really mean you have more freedom?
We live in the age of constant surveillance, unlike the one described by George Orwell in his seminal book 1984, but the one which might have bought willingly. We regularly surrender information in exchange for free services and convenience. Often, we skim over the fine print of user agreements, and the act of disseminating private information becomes a voluntary task that absolves the media giants from any legal burden [3]. Ian Bogost of The Atlantic calls this “the age of privacy nihilism” and says that the changes in escaping surveillance capitalism are bleak [4].
We are happy to announce our Data Breach website Databreach.es, our latest community project. With this project, we strive to create insights into global data breaches. Which companies have been breached, what kind of data got lost, what's the impact on your privacy and how did these companies handle the situation.
Fintech, otherwise known as the financial technology market, is on a very strong growth trajectory, having already disrupted the banking world in a powerful way. From mobile payments, to artificial intelligence, insurance and investment services, Fintech has gradually transformed the way we bank since the day the US Federal Reserve introduced the Fedwire Funds Service back in 1918, which used morse code and telegraph to transfer funds electronically.
A quick look at the two approaches to privacy
For a long time now, software-based startups have been launching their products and thrived by having users’ data as the very foundation of their business models. Social media platforms are the perfect examples of how a business can profit from a well of consumer data. While users had traditionally been in the dark about how the information they share when interacting with digital products is used, various notorious scandals have changed the narrative.
It’s been over a year since the GDPR came into effect, and at least five since it was first debated seriously. For much of that time it was discussed as a global game-changer, yet the predicted earth-shaking effects of its implementation — billion-dollar fines, the end of data exploitation by rogue firms, high-profile court cases — have largely yet to materialize. Instead, the landscape of the internet has changed in more subtle and complex ways which could not have been predicted by pundits, and it’s affecting businesses of every size.
In the new digital age we face unprecedented times of wide opportunities. Internet is just about everywhere and can be connected to just about any device generating diverse forms of data circulation, exchange and accumulation.
Software firms are not responsible for data breaches - you are! Make sure you're keeping up with the latest patches whenever updates are released.
Today’s IT and operations professionals might find themselves feeling like the opposite of Spiderman. With great responsibility comes … no power? The stakes are higher than ever to ensure that their organizations are protected from a security and compliance perspective, but new survey data from Blissfully shows that the most popular SaaS applications are less compliant than you’d think.
A Data Protection Impact Assessment which is also referred to as Privacy Impact Assessments is a mandatory requirement for organizations to comply with.
An inquiry into public opinion suggests that fear and confusion could push sensitive personal data out of the country.
As the demand for high-quality software engineers increases, employers hiring remotely will find themselves ahead of the competition. This is because hiring remotely allows employers and startup founders to expand their talent pool and hire the best candidate no matter where they live. It also leads to reducing costs and improving employees’ productivity and retention.
On July 8, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) announced the highest GDPR fine ever of £183 million over last year’s data breach at British Airways. The UK’s data watchdog elected to fine the airline as its “poor security arrangements” led to the breach of credit card information, names, addresses, travel booking details, and logins of around 500,000 customers. In recent years, consumers have become wearily accustomed to data breaches of this magnitude.
The more manual work is involved in managing data privacy, the greater the risk of costly data and compliance breaches.
Customers and Cloud Service Provider (CSP) share the responsibility of security and compliance. Thus, the organization would have the freedom to have architect their security and compliance needs, according to the services they utilize from the CSP and the services they intend to achieve. CSP has the responsibility to provide services securely and to provide physical security of the cloud. If, however, a customer opts for Software-as-a-service, then the CSP provides standard compliance. Still, the organization has to check if it meets its regulations and compliance levels to strive to achieve. All Cloud services (such ad different forms of databases) are not created equal. Policies and procedures should be agreed upon between CSP and client for all security requirements and operations responsibility.
Brands have started to shift away from the old, password-centric world. While it sounds like a bad idea, there are some benefits to this change to passwords.

The 2010s changed how we interact with technology, but more importantly, how we think about the impact it has in our lives.
Emerging data privacy regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the USA, have sparked global discussion around:
In May 2018, the most far-reaching legislation for the protection of personal data ever conceived took effect: The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
In a previous article, we outlined investment opportunities in companies utilizing decentralized software solutions such as blockchains.
In many blockchain platforms such as Ethereum and Bitcoin, data confidentiality is a kind of excluded item in their blockchain framework. In these distributed blockchain platform transactions are executed in every participant node in the network. So, every transaction in the network can be visible to all the peers. The ledger update process through all the endorsed peers and has to reach an agreement among all before it committed successfully to the ledger. So, in this scenario creating a private record and comprises within a certain group of participants in the network is a complete “No”.
