In today’s digital world computing power goes a long way in deciding a business’s success. In order to be profitable, a company must be dynamic, malleable and light on their feet. The type of software you choose will decide many of those characteristics.

However, with great power comes great responsibility. Without proper SaaS data protection, your company runs the risk of encountering extremely damaging security breaches. What is your content level security in cloud computing and do you need SaaS data protection? Read on to find out.

The Cloud vs. SaaS: a Complete Guide
Famed astrophysicist Carl Sagan once observed that “We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.” This is probably more true now than it was back then.
“The Cloud”. It sounds like some mystical place: Somewhere out there, but it’s really just another term for the internet. The cloud is the umbrella under which Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service(IaaS), Voice-over-internet- Protocol(VOIP), eCommerce, eMail, web sites, and pretty much everything on the internet resides.

How Mobile Security Solutions Can Reduce the Risk of Cyber Threats
Today’s Mobile Environment:
If it is true that time flies, then it must be true that technology rockets. Today, the race for faster, smarter and more sophisticated technology dominates headlines and purportedly will help decide who holds the upper hand for tech supremacy. However, before corporations reap the considerable financial benefits of improved technology, it would greatly behoove them to examine their own mobile cybersecurity solutions.
Yes, all technology is rapidly improving. But one particular sector has seen the most explosive growth and the highest level of utilization of that development: mobile. Today, around the globe, approximately 5 billion people use a mobile device, nearly half of them have smartphones. And what are all these people doing on their smartphones?
The answer: using apps to the point that there are now addiction help guides. To their credit, many businesses saw this coming and created a mobile device security policy for their workers. Regrettably, hackers and the blinding speed of technology had other ideas. Read on to learn about how the mobile security framework became so vital and how RSI security can help maximize productivity and minimize your security risk.

What Is The Purpose Of An Enterprise Information Security Policy?
Information security policy is an extremely important topic of discussion that is often not discussed at all due to a number of reasons. Organizations often find that after they create and implement their Enterprise Information Security Policy (EISP) security architecture, they tend to put it on the back burner until the time comes to update it for compliance purposes. This shouldn’t be the case though.
Ponemon detailed in a 2018 report that a single ransomware attack costs companies an average of roughly $5 million, with $1.25 million being attributed to system downtime, and another $1.5 million to IT and end-user productivity loss. Sure, ransomware attacks can happen in a myriad of unique ways, but when an organization is collectively on the same page, it can help drive growth while protecting critical information within your network. Let’s discuss how to configure a comprehensive, yet easy to understand EISP that can be regularly updated as your company continues to successfully scale.

Third Party Risk Management Best Practices
Understanding and managing the risk that third-party service providers or suppliers pose to your operations should be an essential component of any comprehensive cybersecurity risk program. The risk that third-party vendors pose organizations is often not well understood. This leads to organizations exposing themselves to unnecessary risk that is otherwise avoidable.
Third-party entities can pose risks in a variety of ways. From the poor implementation of required security protocols to a lack of in-depth personnel vetting, there are many ways that security vulnerabilities with third-party vendors can translate to a security incident for your organization. Understanding the scope of security risk and cyber risk that you face from third-party providers can help you make calculated organizational and operational decisions that are fully informed. The creation of a third party risk management policy should be a necessary component of your cybersecurity strategy and should be fully backed by senior management.

What is the Mobile Security Framework?
Technology moves at a rapid pace. In 2008, a bold prediction proclaimed, “Mobile to overtake fixed Internet access by 2014.” Well, in 2019 we can unequivocally say that Mary Meeker, a technology analyst and source of that quote, was absolutely right. Today, there are whole countries whose mobile internet usage, in terms of time, is more than double that of fixed internet. Among that list of countries is the United States of America, according to ComScore.
Therefore, if you are a business without a mobile application or an effective mobile website, you are missing out on, literally, millions and millions of customers who are on the internet entirely through mobile.
Yet, with great opportunity also comes potential risk. Understanding the mobile security framework and how to protect yourself is key to maximizing profits and minimizing risk.
