What happens when decades of clinical research experience collide with a regulatory environment that is changing faster than ever? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Dr Werner Engelbrecht, Senior Director of Strategy at Veeva Systems, for a wide-ranging conversation that explores how life sciences organizations across Europe are responding to mounting regulatory pressure, rapid advances in AI, and growing expectations around transparency and patient trust. Werner brings a rare perspective to this discussion. His career spans clinical research, pharmaceutical development, health authorities, and technology strategy, shaped by firsthand experience as an investigator and later as a senior industry leader.  That background gives him a grounded, practical view of what is actually changing inside pharma and biotech organizations, beyond the headlines around AI Acts, data rules, and compliance frameworks. We talk openly about why regulations such as GDPR, the EU AI Act, and ACT-EU are creating real pressure for organizations that are already operating in highly controlled environments. But rather than framing compliance as a blocker, Werner explains why this moment presents an opening for better collaboration, stronger data foundations, and more consistent ways of working across internal teams. According to him, the real challenge is less about technology and more about how companies manage data quality, align processes, and break down silos that slow everything from trial setup to regulatory response times. Our conversation also digs into where AI is genuinely making progress today in life sciences and where caution still matters. Werner shares why drug discovery and non-patient-facing use cases are moving faster, while areas like trial execution and real-world patient data still demand stronger evidence, cleaner datasets, and clearer governance. His perspective cuts through hype and focuses on what is realistic in an industry where patient safety remains the defining responsibility. We also explore patient recruitment, decentralized trials, and the growing complexity of diseases themselves. Advances in genomics and diagnostics are reshaping how trials are designed, which in turn raises questions about access to electronic health records, data harmonization across Europe, and the safeguards regulators care about most. Werner connects these dots in a way that highlights both the operational strain and the long-term upside. Toward the end, we look ahead at emerging technologies such as blockchain and connected devices, and how they could strengthen data integrity, monitoring, and regulatory confidence over time. It is a thoughtful discussion that reflects both optimism and realism, rooted in lived experience rather than theory. If you are working anywhere near clinical research, regulatory affairs, or digital transformation in life sciences, this episode offers a clear-eyed view of where the industry stands today and where it may be heading next. How should organizations turn regulation into momentum instead of resistance, and what will it take to earn lasting trust from patients, partners, and regulators alike?

How can we truly trust technology in a world powered by AI and emerging tech? What exactly is medical identity theft, and why should we all be worried about it? And how is the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) helping make AI more responsible and fairer?In this episode, Punit Bhatia sits down with Pam Dixon, founder and executive director of the World Privacy Forum, to talk about how we can build trust and protect our privacy in a rapidly changing digital world. They dive into real issues like data misuse, identity theft, and the global efforts shaping stronger privacy and governance standards.

The discussion highlights the limitations of traditional cybersecurity training methods, emphasizing that a psychology-informed approach with positive reinforcement is crucial for developing genuine cyber literacy within organizations. Traditional "gotcha" tactics, such as fake phishing tests, are shown to be ineffective and can even lead to increased clicks, according to research from the University of Zurich and Black Hat. This approach risks creating a false sense of security without genuinely improving user behavior.Craig Taylor, CEO of Cyberhoot, advocates for a positive reinforcement model rooted in operant conditioning principles, where rewarded behaviors are repeated and internalized. This strategy is implemented through gamified modules, such as interactive "Hootfish" exercises that guide users in identifying threats with in-moment assistance. Progress is tracked via avatars that mature with learning, and an anonymous company leaderboard encourages engagement, particularly motivating management to complete assignments. These elements aim to foster intrinsic motivation for security best practices rather than relying on external pressure or punishment.The conversation also delves into the challenges of measuring security progress, noting that traditional phishing tests often fail to capture a complete picture of an organization's security posture, particularly with C-suite employees who may not engage with such tests. The episode touches upon the complexities of evolving cybersecurity threats, including AI-powered personalized attacks, and the inherent difficulties in relying solely on human training against sophisticated adversaries. Furthermore, the discussion addresses the lack of accountability for cybersecurity vendors with faulty software, contrasting it with product liability in other industries, and the debate around the absence of consistent federal regulations for AI and data privacy in the US compared to Europe's GDPR.For MSPs and IT service leaders, this episode underscores the need to adopt more effective, psychology-driven security awareness programs that focus on positive reinforcement and intrinsic motivation. It highlights the limitations of purely technical or punitive cybersecurity measures and emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive strategy that combines user education with robust technical defenses. The discussion also serves as a reminder for MSPs to critically evaluate vendor security practices and to advocate for stronger accountability and clearer regulatory frameworks to protect client data and services.

What does digital trust really mean in today's AI-driven world? How are AI and quantum technologies changing the way organizations build and maintain trust? How can businesses act responsibly and ethically while embracing innovation?In this episode, Punit Bhatia talks with Sebastian Hallensleben, an expert in AI governance and digital trust. They discussed how the EU's common AI standards and the OECD's business guidance are helping shape the next phase of responsible and trustworthy innovation. Together, they explore how trust, ethics, and compliance come together in a world powered by AI and quantum technology.

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, we delve into the critical role of security governance in building secure organizations. Learn how governance frameworks—comprising policies, standards, procedures, and playbooks—transform strategic intent into consistent, auditable actions that both teams and auditors rely on. Whether you're preparing for your CompTIA exam or aiming to develop essential IT skills, understanding these governance principles is key to effective tech exam prep and technology education. Join us as we break down complex concepts in an easy-to-understand way, helping you succeed in your IT certification journey and beyond.We start with clear definitions that make exam questions and real-world decisions easier. Policies set high-level rules and expectations. Standards add measurable technical requirements like encryption strength and logging baselines. Procedures translate both into step-by-step action, and playbooks coordinate who does what, in what order, using which tools. Along the way, we compare external frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST 800, PCI DSS, and FIPS with internal standards that tailor controls to your environment.Privacy law isn't a side quest; it shapes everything. We demystify GDPR, CCPA, FERPA, HIPAA, and COPPA, and clarify roles that exams love to test: the data owner who sets classification and usage, the data controller who defines purpose and lawful basis, the data processor who acts for the controller, and the data custodian who protects and maintains data without deciding how it's used. You'll learn practical cues to spot each role fast and avoid common pitfalls.Finally, we dig into change management as a risk control function. Its goal is to minimize risk while implementing changes, with impact analysis, approvals, testing, and rollback plans. Automation and orchestration can speed response and reduce error, but only when guided by policy and enforced by standards. Expect memorable exam tips, grounded examples, and a framework you can use right away on the job.If this helped sharpen your Security+ prep or your day-to-day practice, subscribe, share the show with a colleague, and leave a quick review.

He's created over 1,100 jobs, founded and exited three digital media companies, served as Venture Principal at Capital Express (the team behind register.com), and hosted MoneyHunt on PBS long before Shark Tank existed. As an adventurer, he's led 1,500 people across 14 miles of open sea by kayak and trekked 1,100 miles through the deserts of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Syria—journeys that inspired his Amazon bestsellers A Line in the Sand and Havana Famiglia. After a pandemic reset, Miles co-founded Reflekta with Adam Drake—transforming their shared quiet wish for one more conversation with someone they loved into the SoulTech platform that enables everyone on the planet to reconnect with loved ones when they're ready. When he's not building companies, you'll find him painting watercolors with his daughter, playing rugby with his son, or occasionally needing a translator for his unique brand of English. Key Quotes: "This body is temporal. But if you can connect with my spirit and soul, they are eternal." - Arthur Spencer's final words to Miles "We're recording the legacies and stories of planet Earth told by the people who lived here, not by media outlets." "My dad has a perfect memory now. He remembers things I've forgotten and he would have forgotten." "Spontaneous and dynamic conversations—10x the impact of a video or a book." "We're talking about eternity here, so monthly was too short term."

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, my students dive into the notorious Cambridge Analytica scandal and its profound impact on data privacy and technology ethics. Our students break down how seemingly harmless personality quizzes exploited Facebook data, creating psychological profiles that influenced elections worldwide. This discussion not only explores real-world technology applications but also enhances your understanding of data security—an essential topic for IT skills development and CompTIA exam prep. Tune in to expand your knowledge of technology education and the critical role of informed consent in today's digital landscape.We walk through the mechanics: the Open Graph loophole, the “This Is Your Digital Life” app, and the shift from demographic targeting to OCEAN-based psychographics that amplified fear, duty, or curiosity depending on your traits. The conversation connects the dots from early experiments with Ted Cruz to huge ad impression volumes tied to the 2016 cycle, explores coordination concerns with super PACs, and examines why these tactics made public debate harder and disinformation easier to spread. Along the way, our students highlight the whistleblowers who surfaced the practice and the global footprint that reached Brexit, the Caribbean, and beyond.The fallout mattered. Facebook faced FTC, SEC, and UK ICO actions; Cambridge Analytica went bankrupt; and Meta tightened API access to cut off friend data collection. We also dig into the privacy wave that followed—GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California—and what those laws do and don't fix. The core takeaway is clear: ethical data practices and transparent advertising aren't nice-to-haves; they're the guardrails for a healthy digital public square. If personal data can be turned into political power, then consent, purpose limits, and accountability must be visible and enforceable.Listen for a clear, step-by-step breakdown, plain-language answers to tough questions, and practical context you can use to evaluate political ads and platform policies.

Scott Spencer, co-founder of Rewarded Interest and former DoubleClick and Google product leader, explains why cookie banners failed, how consumer privacy still feels broken, and what it takes to give users real control without hurting publishers or advertisers. Takeaways RTB wasn't invented in a single moment. It emerged organically as multiple teams solved latency, bidding, and scale problems in parallel. Cookie banners fail both consumers and regulators by creating friction without real control or understanding. Rewarded Interest aims to replace site-by-site consent with centralized, programmatic privacy preferences across devices. Privacy control likely belongs above the browser level, especially as agentic browsing and AI assistants become mainstream. Changes proposed to GDPR may reduce protections around pseudonymous identifiers, increasing the need for user-centric control tools. The industry risks pushing users toward ad blocking if it can't offer meaningful, trusted privacy solutions. Scott's biggest regret from the RTB era isn't technical. It's not taking time to appreciate the magnitude of the transformation and the people behind it.

In our annual “Look Back, Look Forward” edition of The Data Chronicles, Scott Loughlin and Eduardo Ustaran, co-leads of Hogan Lovells' Global Data, Privacy and Cybersecurity practice, reflect on the most important developments in privacy, cybersecurity, and data regulation in 2025 and share their outlook for 2026. It has become the most popular episode of the year, drawing strong interest from listeners across regions and sectors.   The conversation covers the global impact of artificial intelligence, evolving regulatory priorities in the UK, EU, and US, and the ongoing balance between innovation and regulation. Topics include potential GDPR reform, biometrics and age verification, geopolitics and data protection, international data transfers, and the growing focus on AI governance and children's data.

In this episode, Katie talks with Clare O'Donoghue Velikić about the shifting landscape of political advertising in Europe—and what's driving those changes. They trace how Brexit, the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and rising public scrutiny of tech platforms set the stage for today's regulatory environment. Clare breaks down the stark differences between U.S. and European campaign practices, the ripple effects of GDPR and data rules, and how policymakers are thinking about political communication in a post-scandal world. They also unpack Meta's recent decision to ban political ads in the EU, exploring why it matters, who it affects, and what transparency risks emerge when legitimate political messaging is pushed out of public view. The conversation offers a grounded look at the future of digital campaigning in Europe—and the tradeoffs ahead as platforms, regulators, and political actors navigate a rapidly changing system.Takeaways* Regulation intended to increase transparency can lead to less transparency.* Europe's political advertising landscape is significantly different from the US.* Data protection laws in Europe limit campaign strategies.* The early days of Facebook were marked by excitement and innovation.* The Cambridge Analytica scandal raised serious concerns about data use in politics.* Building political ad transparency tools was a complex process.* The current political ad ban in Europe poses risks to democratic discourse.* Extremist content may thrive in the absence of regulated political ads.* Finding a compromise between tech companies and regulators is crucial.* The removal of political ads silences moderate voices in social media.Chapters* 00:00 Introduction to Political Advertising in Europe* 03:38 Differences Between US and European Political Campaigning* 06:12 The Early Days of Facebook and Political Campaigning* 08:56 The Impact of Cambridge Analytica and Foreign Interference* 11:14 Building Political Ad Transparency Tools* 13:59 Challenges in Regulating Political Advertising* 16:49 Personal Experiences in Political Campaigning* 19:02 The Role of Data and Privacy in Political Advertising* 25:43 Political Ad Authorization and Campaign Dynamics* 29:29 Challenges of Political Advertising in Europe* 33:08 Meta's Political Ad Transparency Initiatives* 39:05 Impact of New Regulations on Political Advertising* 44:12 The Future of Political Advertising and Social Media* 48:53 The Role of Moderation in Social Discourse* 52:15 The Evolution of Political Advertising on Facebook* 52:44 Challenges of Transparency in Online AdsAnchor Change with Katie Harbath is a reader-supported publication.

Send us a textWhat if the biggest breakthrough in pathology AI isn't a new algorithm—but finally sharing the data we already have?In this episode, I'm joined by Jeroen van der Laak and Julie Boisclair from the IMI BigPicture consortium, a European public-private initiative building one of the world's largest digital pathology image repositories. The goal isn't to create a single AI model—but to enable thousands by making high-quality, legally compliant data accessible at scale.We unpack what it really takes to build a 3-million-slide repository across 44 partners, why GDPR and data-sharing agreements delayed progress by 18 months, and how sustainability, trust, and collaboration are just as critical as technology. This conversation is about the unglamorous—but essential—work of building infrastructure that will shape pathology AI for decades.⏱️ Highlights with Timestamps[00:00–01:40] Why BigPicture focuses on data—not algorithms[01:40–03:16] Scope of the project: 44 partners, 15–18 countries, 3M images[03:16–06:20] The 18-month delay caused by legal frameworks and GDPR[06:20–11:52] Extracting data from heterogeneous lab infrastructures[11:52–13:38] Current status: 115,000 slides uploaded and growing[13:38–18:39] Why LLMs and foundation models make curated data more valuable than ever[18:39–23:49] Industry collaboration and shared negotiating power[23:49–28:06] Data access models and governance after project independence[28:06–31:59] Sustainability plans and nonprofit foundation model[37:02–43:18] Tools developed: DICOMizer, artifact detection AI, image registration

In this insightful episode, Dr. Dave Chatterjee speaks with Greg Clark—longtime enterprise content management and cybersecurity leader—about a foundational but overlooked ingredient of AI success: information readiness. While organizations rush to implement artificial intelligence, many neglect the quality, governance, security, and contextual integrity of the data fueling these systems. As Clark notes, without clean, curated, and governed information, even the most advanced AI models will misfire—sometimes with damaging or legally significant consequences.Together, they explore why “garbage in, garbage out” is more relevant than ever in the AI era, especially as enterprises confront fragmented data, weak metadata, inconsistent governance, and high regulatory scrutiny. Dr. Chatterjee weaves in his Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) governance framework, demonstrating why information readiness must be treated as a strategic capability, not a technical afterthought. The conversation illuminates how trust, data integrity, and responsible model oversight are emerging as competitive differentiators in the age of GenAI and agentic AI.Time Stamps00:49 — Dave introduces Greg Clark02:43 — Clark's 20+ year journey07:14 — Defining information readiness08:32 — Importance of understanding data09:58 — Data chaos and pitfalls12:00 — Trust erosion13:29 — Air Canada chatbot case16:22 — Auditability and explainability18:51 — CPD applied to AI governance20:43 — Operational maturity22:53 — JPMorgan's Responsible AI Council25:43 — Security as strategic capability27:35 — Zero trust and data protection30:32 — Mayo Clinic example31:25 — Metrics for buy-in32:50 — Destroy-your-business scenarios34:21 — Trust-first culture36:09 — Human-in-the-loop37:20 — GDPR case38:23 — Final reflectionsTo access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights - https://www.dchatte.com/episode-97-ais-missing-puzzle-piece-why-information-readiness-determines-ai-success/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dchatte/ Website: https://dchatte.com/Books PublishedThe DeepFake ConspiracyCybersecurity Readiness: A Holistic and High-Performance ApproachArticles PublishedRamasastry, C. and Chatterjee, D.

Data Edge, Ireland's most experienced network optimisation and application performance management specialist, has announced a new partnership with data protection provider DropVault. Irish-headquartered DropVault is led by international encryption and cybersecurity expert Neal O'Farrell, who has spent four decades in the global cybersecurity industry working with international governments, the military, and financial networks. DropVault automatically encrypts all conversations and documents created or shared within its portals before they even reach the server. This zero-visibility design bolsters security for businesses - ensuring that even DropVault cannot access customer data - while providing full audit trails for compliance. Founded in 2020 and with offices in the US and Dublin,DropVault supports clients across education, automotive, engineering, and aviation - including a global airline using the solution for $100M+ aircraft leasing transactions. Data Edge is now adding DropVault's highly secure solutions to its portfolio, helping to protect Irish businesses and their customers from communication-based threats such as data breaches, business email compromise, wire fraud, and ransomware linked to insecure file sharing. Designed for organisations operating in heavily regulated industries, DropVault enables teams to share confidential documents securely, carry out private encrypted conversations, and maintain full visibility and audit trails to support compliance with standards such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and the upcoming NIS2 directive. This ensures that businesses can operate securely and confidently as cyber threats continue to rise. Data Edge has partnered with DropVault due to its expertise in securing organisations' digital infrastructure. Data Edge and DropVault will provide peace of mind to businesses with guaranteed data sovereignty for critical information, with built-in anomaly detection and defensive monitoring against suspicious access attempts. Neal O'Farrell, CEO, DropVault, said: "Too many organisations still rely on email, phone calls, and text messaging to share sensitive discussions and documents, and often with only rudimentary security measures in place. "At a time of global uncertainty and the surge in AI assisted cybercrime, DropVault can help companies maximise the security, privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of their conversations, discussions, and documents. And all without the challenges and frictions that come with most traditional security measures." Paul Phelan, CEO, Data Edge, said: "This partnership combines DropVault's world-class data protection capabilities with our expertise in delivering top-tier network security offerings to businesses. DropVault's unique position in the encryption space will provide invaluable insights and streamline ways of working for customers. "It will enable us to effectively secure organisations' most valuable data, while helping them to stay one step ahead of would-be hackers. As methods of attack are evolving at an unprecedented pace, this solution will underpin operations for organisations dealing with highly sensitive or confidential information and allow the day-to-day running of the business to continue uninterrupted."

We dig into the partnership between the CISO and COO and show how shared risk, clear language about money, and practical tabletop drills turn security into operational resilience. Ransomware, supply chain delays, and customer impact aren't just IT issues—they're revenue issues—so we map exactly how to build alignment before a crisis hits.We break down CISSP Domain 1.5 with a plain-English tour of law categories and the statutes you actually need to know: CFAA and NIIPA for unauthorized access and critical infrastructure, FISMA and the NIST standards for federal-grade security programs, and the federal modernization that centralized oversight under DHS. Then we go deeper into intellectual property: what copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets protect; how DMCA and AI complicate ownership; and how licensing and click-through terms can quietly put your data and code at risk if you don't read them with counsel.Cross-border data is now daily business, so we unpack export controls on chips and encryption, transborder data flow obligations, and privacy regimes that carry real teeth: GDPR's 72-hour notification, China's PIPL and local representation, and state laws like CCPA that mirror EU rights. The practical takeaway is a tighter incident playbook: define “breach” with evidence-based thresholds, pre-wire stakeholder communications, and use tabletop exercises to test both technical recovery and regulatory reporting.If you're studying for the CISSP or leading a security program, this is the legal-ops blueprint you can use today.

Send us fan responses! The line between freedom and friction is surprisingly thin: a contract. We explore how private family trusts, documented intent, and clear non-consent notices can change the way your money is taxed, your assets are protected, and your data is used. Starting with Gregory v. Helvering, we unpack substance over form and the business purpose doctrine so you can see why some reorganizations qualify as tax-free while others trigger capital gains. Then we translate that legal theory into everyday moves: minutes, resolutions, trustee logs, and a governance rhythm that shows purpose, not just paperwork.From there, we pivot to privacy. If you don't actively opt out, you're opted in—through devices, retail systems, and platforms that profile you by default. We walk through a practical affidavit of truth and legal notice of non-consent that addresses digital monitoring, voice capture, device intrusion, GPS tracking, and AI profiling. Along the way, we cite the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and where GDPR can still bite when data crosses borders. The goal isn't paranoia; it's posture. You raise legal friction, create a documented record, and shape how your information can be used or shared.Finally, we connect the dots: operate as a family enterprise. A private family business trust can centralize housing, education, vehicles, and core tools under a chartered mission, with fiduciary discipline and real oversight. Present as an entity in public forums, keep contemporaneous records, and align your financial structure with your stated purpose. This is how you move from paying like a consumer to allocating like a fiduciary, from constant exposure to measured control. If you're ready to rewrite the rules of how you live, spend, and protect what you build, this conversation lays out the steps.

Data sovereignty is a hot topic of the year, driven by the massive proliferation of data, the rise of multinational hyperscalers, and the increasing use of AI. The Pure Report podcast welcomes Pure Field CTO for EMEA, Patrick Smith, to define this critical concept—data being subject to the laws and governance of the country in which it is created or stored—and to explain why enterprises must now focus not just on location, but on who manages, accesses, and controls their data. We discuss how a confluence of circumstances, including recent cloud provider outages, has highlighted the interconnected world and the risks inherent in where data resides, propelling this issue to the forefront for IT leaders globally. Patrick dives into the three prevailing factors driving the need for a data sovereignty strategy: increasing data sensitivity and regulation (like GDPR), the massive growth and reliance on public cloud environments, and unpredictable geopolitical issues that create risk. He shares key findings from the recent University of Sydney survey, revealing a heightened sense of urgency: 100% of respondents are reconsidering their data's location due to sovereignty concerns, and 78% are actively adopting strategies for sovereign capabilities. We also break down the strategic options available, ranging from doing nothing or too much (and accepting the risk) to the preferred middle-ground approach of a thorough risk assessment to guide placement decisions. Our conversation shifts to actionable steps, with Patrick emphasizing that good data governance is the essential underpinning for any successful sovereignty strategy. We explore the necessity of a hybrid multi-cloud architecture that embeds sovereign capabilities, allowing organizations to run the right application in the right location based on its risk profile and move it easily if regulation changes. Finally, Patrick explains how Pure's Enterprise Data Cloud—focused on simplicity, automation, and industry-leading energy efficiency—directly intersects with and helps solve the challenges of delivering sovereign capabilities, leading to the crucial, easy win: understand the domain, track regulation, and above all, don't ignore the changing data landscape.

Episode SummaryAs AI systems become increasingly integrated into enterprise workflows, a new security frontier is emerging. In this episode of The Secure Developer, host Danny Allan speaks with Nicolas Dupont about the often-overlooked vulnerabilities hiding in vector databases and how they can be exploited to expose sensitive data.Show NotesAs organizations shift their focus from training massive models to deploying them for inference and ROI, they are increasingly centralizing proprietary data into vector databases to power RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and agentic workflows. However, these vector stores are frequently deployed with insufficient security measures, often relying on the dangerous misconception that vector embeddings are unintelligible one-way hashes.Nicolas Dupont explains that vector embeddings are simply dense representations of semantic meaning that can be inverted back to their original text or media formats relatively trivially. Because vector databases traditionally require plain text access to perform similarity searches efficiently, they often lack encryption-in-use, making them susceptible to data exfiltration and prompt injection attacks via context loading. This is particularly concerning when autonomous agents are over-provisioned with write access, potentially allowing malicious actors to poison the knowledge base or manipulate system prompts.The discussion highlights the need for a "secure by inception" approach, advocating for granular encryption that protects data even during processing without incurring massive performance penalties. Beyond security, this architectural rigor is essential for meeting privacy regulations like GDPR and HIPAA in regulated industries. The episode concludes with a look at the future of AI security, emphasizing that while AI can accelerate defense, attackers are simultaneously leveraging the same tools to create more sophisticated threats.LinksCyborgOWASP LLM Top 10Snyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn

You think your two-factor authentication and credit monitoring make you safe online. Bad news - you're probably already compromised, you just don't know it yet.
