POV: an important prospect requires all of their partners to get a SOC 2 audit. You’ve just met with your auditing firm and you’ve been tasked with evidence collection, which sounds like tracking down a lot of people and documents. No one can tell you when the RFP knowledge base was last updated. The sales team is asking how long it will take, and can it go faster?

You let the phone ring until it’s silent and bury your head in your pillow to block out the splitting headache that’s slowly building up. A single message tone goes off.
With mobile phones accounting for over 60% of website traffic in 2022, launching a mobile app in South America will be an astute decision. The future lies with smartphones and tablets, making it essential to move beyond traditional desktop solutions. But, did you know- In the first half of 2022, 10,666 ransomware signatures were found in Latin America, as against 5,400 in the last half of 2021.
KrakenLabs has developed a new naming convention that uses poisonous plants to represent the origin and criminal activities of threat actors.

As a risk-based response to the continuous, and varied assaults on our systems by criminals, the PCI DSS standard requires a minimum of 20 technical scans per full year for merchants, and 21 for third-party service providers (TPSPs)
