In an age in which data governance has become all but synonymous with data privacy and data protection, there are numerous aspects of data management that are regarded much differently than how they traditionally were.
Data protection and safeguarding user privacy are both key to regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the California Consumer Privacy Act, the General Data Protection Regulation and the Biometric Information Privacy Act. Within the realm of AI governance, ensuring data privacy is just as practical and important.
Over the last few years internet usage has continued to grow, as consumers become increasingly reliant on the internet for entertainment, communication and the purchasing of goods and services.

Malware and viruses have been active for decades now. The first computer malware unleashed is about a half-century old. Viruses and malware force computers to act unusually, affecting their performance and our stored data. It’s not always easy to tell whether a computer is acting strangely due to a virus attack or it’s just time to give it some regular refresh. Viruses are excellent at disguising their activity for a long time before launching the rocket and dropping their payloads

With the rapid increase of individuals with technological knowledge, there has been a reported increase in the number of cybercrimes. There are over 900 cases reported each week globally. This puts many organizations and users at risk of cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks can be detrimental to any business as it requires a lot of effort and resources to recover from the attack.
The more technologies develop, the more dangerous they can be. The exchange of information nowadays is immense, so the data flow requires considering more and more pitfalls.
APIs continue to grow in popularity due to the growth in microservices and the need to bring new applications and services to market faster. While such rapid innovation benefits industries such as the financial and technology sectors, it also opens the possibility of breaches, especially regarding API security risks. Nine times out of ten, we look at the ramifications of API threats following a breach or hack. Unfortunately, it is usually too late as the harm is already done. Attacks come with few warnings, and API security issues are a growing problem as the number of hackers grows.
In an increasingly digital world, security has become a central aspect for users. As a result, manufacturers, app developers and technology companies have developed tools that can help keep users safe and protect their data.

Horizon3.ai has introduced external penetration testing in its NodeZero platform, making NodeZero the first autonomous penetration testing platform to offer organizations a true understanding of their cyber risk profile across their entire environment. “Threat actors continue to evolve their tools and techniques to evade detection within an organization’s network,” said Snehal Antani, CEO and co-founder of Horizon3.ai. Antani was formerly CTO of U.S. Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
Cybercrime and cyber threats go hand in hand. New malware strains and attack vectors are developed by cybercrime groups in order to receive monetary gains, damage the reputation, or conduct reconnaissance and data exfiltration for a nation-state. If a business whose assets and data suffered from adversary behavior files a lawsuit against the suspected entity, digital forensics will help bring evidence of the breach to the court. Forensic engineers are also capable of restoring data that was lost as a result of the attack.
Back in the day, getting approved for a loan involved taking the following steps: visiting the bank or the financial intuition in person, talking to one of their representatives about your requirements and options, filling out a ton of paperwork, and then waiting for a (hopefully favorable) answer. Although this course of action remains valid to this day and there are people who actually prefer to do things the old-fashioned way, the process of applying for a loan has been greatly facilitated by tech advancements and the advent of the internet.

When we use devices, software, and applications, we’re often required to provide our identities to achieve a result, such as logging in or signing up for something. On the other end of the spectrum, we have those that require our identities for these. Those who request us to supply our information have every right to be concerned with who, or what is trying to access their system, which is why a third-party framework is often used as an added security measure.
An SQL(Structured Query Language) injection is a form of cyberattack where the hacker enters their code, gets access to the website, violates security measures, and accesses sensitive data. This web security vulnerability allows an attacker to interfere with an application’s database. The data stored is either data that the application can access or belongs to other users.
Companies employ a wide range of techniques and defences to protect themselves from malicious actors on the internet. These tools and defences include things like intrusion prevention systems, intrusion detection systems, and other logging tools. In the early stages of software development, several SAST and other tools are being used to detect software flaws that have not yet been discovered.
Comprehensive attacks such as cyber-attacks have been increasing day by day and can threaten the security of companies and institutions. These attacks make effective security approaches and measure a necessity. The Zero Trust model, which is among these security approaches, adds an effective dimension to the concept of cyber security and makes it difficult for malicious people and software.
Before looking at the pros and cons of working in data science, you will want to know precisely what a data scientist does.
