General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Most of us remember the months and weeks leading up to the deadline. We did whatever needed to be done to achieve compliance. Now it seems like a distant memory. And the pressure is mostly off. But in other ways, it was just the beginning. As you continue creating your day-to-day compliance strategy, you might find that the tactics that got you to the finish line were more short-term solutions that won’t necessarily stand long-term.
Last week, close to 800 IT professionals met in Orlando, Florida at HDI’s Support World Live conference. HDI events are always wonderful for catching up on trends, new innovations and best practices.
Do you remember when all applications were on-premises applications?

The song “I’ve Been Everywhere” was written by an Australian country singer, Geoff Mack, back in 1959, where he sang about all the towns he visited across Australia.

How appealing is its design? These are important considerations, but a good experience requires more than a good interface.
Ransomware experienced a stunning surge in prevalence and sophistication throughout the pandemic. Threat actors capitalized on a frequently shaky transition to a remote, digital business landscape. With so many businesses prioritizing basic functionality over proactive security, vulnerabilities have been unprecedented – and very much exploited.
Today many enterprise businesses suffer from security attacks but don’t understand how to protect their applications from being exposed. The most common attacks today are simple to execute such as a SQL injection, network Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), Cross Side Scripting (XSS) and more. These are common attacks that can be mitigated by setting up a security framework to protect enterprise assets.
