Datenhoheit – durch Clouds verschleiert? | Digitale Welt
Datensouveränität ist dabei ein komplexes und sich ständig veränderndes Ziel. Vorschriften wie die DSGVO, der CCPA und eine zunehmende Anzahl konkurrierender nationaler Gesetze zur Datenlokalisierung sorgen dafür, dass die Compliance-Regeln von heute morgen schon veraltet sein können. Dennoch ist das Verständnis für die Datenhoheit – insbesondere bei Zugriffen und Speicherung durch Dritte – eine fundamentale Säule für eine robuste Datenverwaltung.
Lessons from F1’s Cost Cap applied to cybersecurity
Abstract image of cyber security in action. At the half way point in the 2025 Formula 1 (F1) Championship, we’ve already witnessed some fantastic, albeit unexpected, results. During the pause, with no racing to watch, I found myself reflecting upon how similar the sport is to cybersecurity.
F1 et cybersécurité : toujours garder une longueur d'avance
Les équipes de Formule 1, tout comme celles de cybersécurité, fonctionnent avec des restrictions budgétaires précises visant à pousser les équipes à innover pour atteindre la performance maximale. Une vue d’ensemble essentielle Les équipes de Formule 1 approchent leurs restrictions budgétaires en évitant de considérer les défis auxquels elles font face individuellement.
Cybersecurity: imparare dalla Formula 1 a innovare con budget limitati
La cybersecurity è ormai una necessità strategica per le aziende che devono affrontare minacce sempre più sofisticate con risorse limitate. Come i team di Formula 1 che ottimizzano le prestazioni sotto un rigido tetto di spesa, anche le organizzazioni possono trarre vantaggio da un approccio integrato alla sicurezza informatica, eliminando ridondanze e massimizzando l’efficacia degli investimenti.

KI-Assistenten: Neue Herausforderung für die Cybersicherheit | Digitale Welt
KI am Arbeitsplatz boomt Im vergangenen Jahr haben sich Innovationen im Bereich KI am Arbeitsplatz ausgebreitet. In allen Branchen und Teamrollen nutzen Mitarbeiter:innen bereits KI-Assistenten, um verschiedene Aufgaben zu vereinfachen und effizienter zu machen, z. B. Protokolle zu erstellen, E-Mails zu schreiben, Codes oder Marketingstrategien zu entwickeln und sogar bei der Verwaltung der Unternehmensfinanzen zu helfen.
Treinamento cibernético não precisa ser chato
Os programas de treinamento em segurança cibernética e compliance se tornaram um grande negócio. De acordo com a Cybersecurity Ventures, este mercado de treinamento atingiu US$ 5,6 bilhões em 2023 e deve ultrapassar US$ 10 bilhões nos próximos quatro anos. Esse boom não é uma surpresa: as ameaças cibernéticas estão desenfreadas e os ataques em grande escala estão frequentemente na mídia. Isso prova que todas as empresas, independentemente do porte, correm o risco de sofrer uma violação.

Si la formación anual en ciberseguridad no funciona, ¿cuál es la alternativa?
Los programas de formación en ciberseguridad y cumplimiento normativo se han convertido en un gran negocio. Según Cybersecurity Ventures, el mercado mundial en formación y concienciación sobre seguridad alcanzó los 5.600 millones de dólares en 2023 y se espera que supere los 10.000 millones en apenas cuatro años.
What Formula One can Teach CISOs About Continuous Optimal Performance
The goal in F1 is of course to win races that lead to a championship trophy (and pay day), which means not only achieving the fastest lap of a single race but performing consistently throughout the race, and throughout the season. The same can be said in cybersecurity. Just ensuring a single employee, or app, or office gets a good experience is not the same as the whole organisation consistently receiving a good experience… and doing so without taking unacceptable risks.
Zero Trust é muito mais que identidade
Qual é a relação entre zero trust e identidade do usuário? Não há dúvida que a identidade é um componente fundamental de uma abordagem eficaz deste conceito, mas o risco é quando os líderes se concentram tanto nesta parte que se esquecem que há muito mais para se preocupar. Acreditar que alcançar o zero trust se resume à identidade do usuário é um equívoco do conceito.

Zero trust and (why it isn’t always about) identity
What is the relationship between zero trust and user identity? There’s no doubt that identity is a fundamental component of an effective zero trust approach, but there is also a danger that organisations become so overly focused on this one element, they forget there are others. To believe that achieving zero trust is all about user identity is, I believe, a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept.
What can Formula 1 teach us about balancing regulation and innovation?
Innovation and regulation are two important factors that have a significant impact on the growth of any industry, including information security. The question of whether regulation inhibits or inspires innovation is a contentious one, and there are compelling arguments on both sides.
How to Help Your Board and Senior Executives Become Cyber Savvy
It’s not news that cybersecurity is now a board-level imperative. But with all the talk about that, here’s something we don’t talk about enough: board directors and other senior executives might know they need to have these conversations, but in many cases are still struggling with how to have them in a productive way, especially if they aren’t technical or haven’t spent any real time in a technology role.
Protection des données et éthique : l’importance de l’IA Act européen
Avec la présence grandissante de l’IA dans tous les aspects de la vie quotidienne, et celle des applications telles que ChatGPT, qui a connu une croissance spectaculaire, les risques et dérives qui s’y rapportent sont plus que jamais au cœur des débats, et ce projet de loi devenu nécessaire. Règlementer l’usage de l’Intelligence Artificielle est essentiel pour protéger les données.
Protection des données et éthique : l’importance de l’IA Act européen
Avec l’IA Act, les législateurs tendent à mesurer l'impact potentiel de l'intelligence artificielle sur la société, plus particulièrement sur les droits des citoyens, et le cadre législatif inhérent pour les protéger. La loi permettra aux organismes de surveillance d'exiger le retrait ou la modification d'un modèle d'IA s'il présente un risque élevé. Le schéma est donc similaire à celui du RGPD.
Protection des données et éthique : l'importance de l'IA Act européen – Global Security Mag Online
En avril 2022, la Commission Européenne (CE) a voté la décision de mettre en place le premier cadre juridique mondial pour réguler la commercialisation et l’usage de l’Intelligence Artificielle (IA). Après des mois de discussions pour les législateurs, la proposition de loi devrait être votée au Parlement Européen prochainement.

Jak wprowadzać regulacje chroniące prywatność danych
Innowacje i regulacje to dwa ważne czynniki, które mają znaczący wpływ na rozwój każdej branży, w tym bezpieczeństwa informacji. Pytanie o to, czy regulacje hamują, czy inspirują innowacje? Aby rozstrzygnąć ten dylemat (i uczcić początek nowego sezonu F1), użyjmy przykładów sportów motorowych Formuły 1 i jej nowych przepisów jako analogii do zrozumienia relacji pomiędzy innowacjami i regulacjami w bezpieczeństwie informacji- analizuje Neil Tracker z firmy Netskope.

Dynamic Creative Ad Servers: The Future Of Online Advertising
It all started as a book club. Yes, I’m serious. I started my work on the web more than two decades ago. My first site was Helping Hand, which curated the best sites from around the web to help people with their computers and navigate resources on the Internet. Years later, I sold the domain to a company that helped folks quit smoking, one of my first big contracts. I began blogging on Blogger and waxed poetic about everything from politics to Internet tools.

How to Measure Cloud Risk
How to measure risk Ask any security professional how to effectively measure risk and many will give a simple answer… Risk = Likelihood x Impact Perhaps some professionals will take it a step further and include a variable to include a weighting on the asset value (that is calculated separately to impact value)… Risk = Likelihood x Impact x Asset Value A few might go further and cite FAIR, a well established framework on quantitative risk management, that expands to include many additional...
4 Benefits CIOs Ought to Know About SSE
As a CIO it is very easy to get “new-acronym-deafness.” New innovations need new words and name-tags to identify them, and while analysts work hard to provide benchmarks and standardised definitions, it can be hard to keep up. At Netskope we know how confusing it can get, because sitting at the vanguard of emerging categories means we have had to do our fair share of explainers and re-labelling over recent years.
Data Protection Is Not Just A Cyber Conversation
Before I became an advisor to Netskope, I was a long serving CIO and CEO for organisations including Bayer and Philips. I have spent many hours sitting in board meetings discussing data protection with colleagues and as a result I am confused by assertions I hear that data protection is only the IT team’s problem. In my experience, the majority of data protection conversations that reach the board are, in fact, driven by legal teams, who then partner with IT to devise and execute plans.
Six ways to optimise cloud security investments - ITP.net
Among traditional operation models, cloud has always stood out for its low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). However, a move to cloud security doesn’t come without some investment, and this initial outlay can be a distraction, prompting people to focus on cost rather than savings. . The reality is that a cloud-native Secure Service Edge (SSE) architecture delivers a strong return of investment (ROI) with a low TCO.

The Economics of Network & Security Transformation - Pt. 3
A framework and strategy review for managing network & security transformation is much needed. Every CIO, CISO, and CTO today will be assessing their ongoing costs to run and operate a secure network and security program for 2021 and beyond. In parts 1 & 2 of this three-part series, I explained what numbers should feed these calculations and measurements and how performance, flexibility, and scalability are all key to this transformation.
The Economics of Network & Security Transformation - Pt. 2
I previously wrote a blog recommending CIOs and CISOs review their annual budgets for 2020 and continue to reduce their spend on legacy appliance-based network and security controls with a move to a scalable and future-proof cloud-based architecture. Since then, the world has changed.
The Economics of Network and Security Transformation
The primary reasons for organizations moving to the cloud are one, to reduce costs and two, to allow for services to be supported by a third-party that can adapt and enhance features at scale. As more organizations adopt a cloud-first strategy to embrace these benefits, the legacy model of running and supporting a corporate network starts to show diminishing returns. Until recently, many organizations planned to continually grow and enhance their network.
Three Steps to Bridge the Network and Security Divide
Until recently, network and security teams could go about their business completely effectively with little requirement for anything more than a light-touch partnership. If network teams are responsible for the roads upon which business data travels, then security teams have traditionally been in charge of barriers, guard rails, and toll booths. The two teams have tended to operate within a shared working environment, with very clear and separate areas of activity.
PlayBox adds powerful streaming solutions to market-leading integrated playout platform
PlayBox Technology has added an extensive list of new products to its acclaimed integrated playout platform. These encompass the complete spectrum of content delivery, with particular attention to streaming and to content and subscriber management.

Key Considerations for the Future of Work
In summer 2020, as it became abundantly clear that remote working in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was here to stay, Netskope surveyed more than 400 end-users in the US from across many industries, including telecommunications, IT, government healthcare, finance, nonprofit, and education, about their thoughts related to remote working.
3 Key Observations on Network and Security Transformation
Recently I attended another great Evanta CIO event, and in the course of a day packed with excellent talks and knowledge-sharing opportunities, I had the opportunity to sit down and discuss the topic of network and security transformation with Stuart Hughes, the CIDO at Rolls-Royce. Stuart shared his experiences over the past 18 months, discussing how the pandemic—among other things—had changed his strategic approach to security.
