At its core, tokenization simply substitutes a randomly generated value or "token" for a cleartext value. A lookup table is then used to trace the cleartext value back to the corresponding token so an authorized user can use a digital token to read the data.

As companies embrace the operational flexibility of the cloud, security, and compliance concerns are at the forefront of their minds. Developing a proper cloud data-protection architecture requires a personalized and innovative security approach - that's where Protegrity steps in.

We live in a world where nearly everything can connect to the internet. While this is one of the greatest times in technology, it also brings an overwhelming amount of cybersecurity threats and challenges. CISOs and IT teams are pushed to the limits of being able to adequately and quickly protect their customers from emerging cyber threats. Cybercrime continues to increase by 15% year over year; costing the U.S. 6.9 billion just in 2021. By 2025 cybercrime will cost the entire world 10.5 trillion annually.

This white paper provides information on how organizations can use vPenTest to perform a penetration test at any time, allowing network administrators to evaluate their risks to cyber attacks in nearly real time.

This white paper provides valuable information for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) as it relates to implementing security best practices as well as achieving compliance requirements. SMBs can use the information provided in the white paper to develop a roadmap to a mature information security program.

By its nature, cyber risk is dynamic. New events happen and evolve all the time, making it difficult for enterprises to financially quantify their financial exposure to cyber attacks. Around two years ago, for example, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks were making headlines, and now ransomware has come into heightened focus. It's reasonable to believe that other types of attacks will emerge in another two years and continue to change thereafter.

The number of data breaches reported in the first 6 months of 2022 has put this year on track to be the lowest year of reports in the last 5 years for large US corporations. By looking at the rate at which data breach events have been reported so far this year, we predict that the number of events reported is expected to be 15-20% of the number of breaches reported in 2021

The 2022 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), the fifteenth such report in as many years, leads off with a startling statistic: Credentials are the number one overall attack vector hackers use in data breaches. Use of stolen credentials accounts for nearly half the breaches studied by Verizon, far ahead of phishing and exploit vulnerabilities, which account for 19% and 8% of attacks, respectively. Botnets, the fourth most common entry path for hackers, represent a mere 1% of attacks.
