📈 Data Privacy on the Rise: Why Businesses Are Embracing Data Redactio Data privacy regulations are tightening, and businesses are taking notice. One key trend gaining momentum is the use of data redaction to anonymize sensitive information. ❓ What's the big deal about redaction? As we collect more data, protecting personal information becomes paramount. Redaction techniques help ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA by removing or obfuscating sensitive data points, minimizing the risk of exposure. 🌟 Why is redaction gaining traction? 🔒 Stricter Regulations: With evolving data privacy laws, businesses need robust solutions to safeguard data. Redaction offers a practical approach to anonymization. 💼 Multiple Use Cases: Redaction goes beyond just regulatory compliance. It's valuable for data sharing within organizations, anonymizing data for research purposes, and protecting customer privacy. 🛡️Enhanced Security: By redacting sensitive data, companies reduce the attack surface for potential cyberattacks, minimizing the potential damage from a data breach. 🤖 How NAIX GmbH Can Help At NAIX GmbH, we automate the redaction process with the power of AI, allowing businesses to anonymize and pseudonymize documents quickly with minimal human intervention.

NEW REPORT: SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS This report: a) Reviews relevant SEC regulations on submitting proposals. b) Catalogues and describes the 112 proposals that came to vote at the 30 Dow Industrials in fiscal year 2023. The analysis: a) Sorts the proposals in 8 categories. b) Summarizes the voting results. c) Identifies the proponents. d) Describes relevant proxy voting guidelines from ISS, Glass Lewis, Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street. I’m still waiting for SEC-conforming claw-back and cybersecurity disclosures from late filers in the Dow 30, so can’t yet complete my studies on those topics. Meanwhile, I’m looking into other interesting matters and hope to release another report later this month. #corporategovernance #shareholderactivism #shareholderproposals #secrules #dowindustrials

This report from Ted Jarvis is a must read. Quickly read right here on LinkedIn, it is full of insights. #shareholderadvocates should be sure to read before filing proposals for the hump season. I wish he would have analyzed the Wilshire 3000, instead of the Dow 30 but I don't get everything I want in life. #corpgov #ESG

America is facing the most challenging national security environment in half a century, and we need to move faster to address these challenges. Deterring our adversaries requires change—starting with activating a whole-of-nation approach that accelerates results, pushes boundaries, and disrupts long-standing barriers. We have seen the positive results of embracing this type of change already. By working together, Booz Allen Hamilton and Palantir Technologies are creating new mission capabilities that leverage both of our unique technologies and expertise to close mission gaps at the speed of now. https://lnkd.in/ee9EAAXx

Palo Alto (PANW-NASQ) rose +2.8% and another 2% after hours as the cybersecurity sector regained focus as the intense AI hype subsides. While AI spend has monopolised corporate IT budgets of late, businesses are refocusing on the need for cybersecurity in the face of recent attacks. The bottom line for Palo Alto is that sales kicked +12%, beating expectations, and the management team provided an upbeat outlook. While it's too early to call if Crowdstrike (CRWD-NASQ) finds itself in structural demise following its widely-publicised outage, it’s clearly positive for Palo Alto. #ClaritybyInvestec #sector #stocks #equities #investing #trading #trends

𖢑𖧥𖦪ꚲ𖨗𖧥ꛘ𖠢, 𖢑𖧥ꛪ𖥣𖥐 𖢑ꚶ𖨚𖦙𖦪𖥕𖥕𖢑𖨚, ꛚ𖨚𖦧, 𖢉𖠢𖢧𖧥𖢑𖥣ꛘ𖠢 -- 𖧉𖥕𖧉! A veritable concoction of experimental legal and illicit drugs (depending on what country, state or federal anti-drug-use laws you follow). Other than instructions on how to built a nuclear bomb "all the information in the (US)government should be made public," little elon told Trump's base at a Pennsylvania town hall in October. This coming from a guy who also feels he is above US law courts, who is little djt's closest 'rugger bugger' -- little djt, a guy who felt that 'too secret' and the nation's most classified documents were 👍 👌 to be handled, moved and stored by any'ol Mar-a-Lago 'go-for', and stored in bathrooms, ballrooms, and broom closets! Correct me if I'm off base here: but wasn't the #US government hell bent on getting (🇪🇨) 🇬🇧 government to extradite Wikipedia founder Julian Assange to the 🇺🇸 to face severe charges for divulging/releasing controversial or restricted information about US policies related to war, spying, and corruption? During WWI, WW2 and the entire length of the Cold War, CIA (and NSA) had strict rules (and elimination policies) for any 'rouge counter intelligence' (or adversary foreign nation's) spies that could jeopardize US positions of peace and strength through power foreign policies. Americans should keep that in mind when assessing whether-or-not the world's richest mouthpiece, Musk's loose X-lips can keep shut about anything of national security importance! https://lnkd.in/eakZHmKU Kjell Kristian Dørum Jens Christian Jensen Bill Tipton Richard Faint Johnty Stables Todd Byars Paul Shoffner David P.

Washington’s $12 Billion Physical Security Investment: What It Means for Stock Prices Rising federal investments in physical security tech could boost companies like Teledyne and Leidos, driving up their stock prices https://lnkd.in/gx9HqqWW

Computers as we know and use them today are fundamentally broken from a security perspective. However, that doesn't mean that every 14 year old kid needs to be carrying around a nuclear football, which is unfortunately, the case today. Likewise, you shouldn't be able to go spend $200 and rent out a bot army of a few hundred thousand computers to ddos someone into the next century. 1998 was a very wild west of computer security but the difference between then and now (outside of a few decades) is that almost nobody was online at that time and almost nothing used computers then. Now the entire western economy solely relies on the internet. There are a few key buildings in the US that I could drive a truck into without even touching a computer and severely cripple western civ. This whole "the internet is distributed" is a bunch of horseshit. Security has gotten progressively worse. Every year the cve count grows much higher, the data breaches get way worse and more expensive, the software supply chain deteriorates further into the nuclear slime that it is and RSA continues to be the monkey show that it is with no solution in sight. Looking at software that has been created in the past ten years versus the software that was made the ten years before it - I think we are looking at a world of pain and I'm not even thinking about autonomous cars that can be trivially hijacked or water dams that are literally accessible *right now*. There needs to be drastic manhattan style changes and that starts with not handing out 50-year old operating system candy to 14 year olds and wishing them a good halloween. https://lnkd.in/dMEvZBCb
