What is Endpoint Encryption: Unveiling A Data Security Strategy

Endpoint encryption works by using algorithms to transform readable data into an unreadable format unless you have a specific key or code.

This key is the only way to decrypt the data and access the original, readable information.

The beauty of endpoint encryption lies in its simplicity and effectiveness.

Endpoint encryption doesn’t require the end user to take any complicated steps.

Once set up to encrypt the data, the encryption runs seamlessly in the background, providing continuous protection.

Bay Area Nonprofit Signal Shows How Bloated Tech Companies Have Become

The report is a glaring reminder that modern consumer technology, done well, doesn’t need all that many people to run it.

Signal’s app offers video calls, messages and Instagram-esque Stories, all free to use and free from ads.

The nonprofit is a leader in privacy research and never sells user data to advertisers, which is how other free products tend to make their money.

The regulators’ proposals are helpful in providing firms with clarity as to the ‘necessity’ of their processing of D&I data, so is conducive to a firm establishing a lawful basis under the UK GDPR.

Additionally, the most applicable special conditions under the DPA are likely to be: the employment, equality or senior level conditions or explicit consent.

Ultimately, firms will need to assess on a case-by-case basis which of these (or other) legal basis would be most appropriate in their scenario.

Global X Says AI, Cybersecurity Among Four Key Themes for 2024

See below what Global X had to say:

1. AI and Robotics & Automation Lead the Way Into the Future

“The addressable market for AI services, including the full ecosystem of hardware, software, and data, is set to expand rapidly in the coming years.”

2. U.S. Infrastructure Builds New Foundations

“The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act called for $1.2 trillion in spending over seven years.

The CHIPS Act adds another $600 billion of public and private funds to construct new facilities over several years.

Together, the government is set to spend approximately $300 billion a year, potentially translating to a 37% increase in revenue for infrastructure companies.”

3. Cybersecurity’s Relevancy Rises

“Deterioration in USA-China relations along with persistent conflicts in Europe and the Middle East could trigger increased risk of cyber intrusions.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently published a report about the increased cyber risks from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia.”

4. Healthcare Tied to Aging Population Breaks Through

“The aging populations of the four largest economies in the world, the United States, Europe, China, and Japan, is not breaking news, but this is an economic reality.

Historically, slowing growth and higher rates drive returns across the Healthcare sector.”
