Target Higher Education: Major University Data Breaches in 2025

In 2025, universities in the United States and Australia found themselves squarely in the crosshairs of persistent and evolving cyber threats. Higher education institutions manage highly sensitive personal information, financial details, healthcare records, and research data, making them prime targets for sophisticated attackers, ransomware gangs, and even hacktivists. As cybercrime escalates globally, the education sector is facing some of its most disruptive and consequential breaches in years.

Public Wi-Fi vs Secure Mobile Data: What Remote Workers Need to Know

You can work from almost anywhere today, cafés, airports, hotels, even park benches. Free public Wi-Fi makes it easy to jump online fast. But is it really safe? Many remote workers don't think about security until something goes wrong. One weak network can expose emails, client files, passwords, and payment details in minutes. On the other hand, secure mobile data offers more control and privacy-but may cost more. So which option should you trust with your work? In this guide, we'll break down the real risks, clear up common myths, and help you choose the safest connection for your remote setup.

What is Data Tracing? How It Works, and Why You Should Care

Security logs tell you who accessed a system, but they won’t tell you where a CSV file went after someone exported it. Files move between apps, users, and third-party vendors without anyone truly tracking where they go, who touches them, or how they’re used. And that’s a massive problem when a breach happens, when auditors come knocking, or when you’re trying to tighten internal controls.

Top tips: What happens to your data after you click "Accept"

Top tips is a weekly column where we highlight what’s trending in the tech world and share ways to stay ahead. This week, we’re talking about a moment that’s become second nature to most of us. You open a website or install a new app. A banner appears. It’s long, filled with links, and clearly not meant to be read in a hurry. Your eyes jump straight to the familiar buttons. Accept all. One click, and you’re in. It feels harmless.

Redefining Data Security: From Insight to Action

Most organizations don't lack data security tools, they lack cohesion. Teams often layer DSPM solutions for discovery and classification on top of DLP tools for enforcement. On paper, this looks comprehensive. In practice, it creates friction: This is the platform problem: technology stitched together, not designed together. Solving it requires more than integrations, it requires a purpose-built platform that combines visibility, control, and action across all states of data.

Forensic Search & App Intelligence Add Up to Complete Insider Risk Visibility

Traditional data loss prevention stops at detection. You get an alert. You know something happened. But you don't see the full picture. When a departing engineer downloads your entire codebase over the holiday break, you need more than a policy violation. You need to see what they were doing before that moment, where the data came from, and what happened after. You need context, timeline, and the ability to trace every action.

Comprehensive Data Exfiltration Prevention: A New Architecture for Modern Threats

The exfiltration problem has evolved beyond what traditional DLP was designed to solve. Your employees work across personal AI assistants, multiple browsers, dozens of SaaS applications, and offline environments. They collaborate through Git, communicate via email clients, and store data on external drives. Each interaction represents a potential data loss vector—and legacy solutions can't see most of them.

The Nike Breach, Why Traditional DLP Failed, & What Security Teams Need Now

When WorldLeaks claimed to have exfiltrated 1.4TB of Nike's corporate data—188,347 files containing everything from product designs to manufacturing workflows—the incident revealed something more significant than another headline-grabbing breach. It exposed a fundamental gap in how organizations approach data loss prevention. The breach reportedly included technical packs, bills of materials, factory audits, strategic presentations, and six years of R&D archives.
