In 2020 the European Court of Justice issued the Schrems II judgement which had significant implications for transatlantic data flows. Companies using the services of US-based providers need to reconsider their strategy. We will have a conversation with Max Schrems, Privacy activist, lawyer and author who filed the GDPR complaints leading to this landmark ruling for privacy rights.
Together we will take an "easy to listen" approach to these law & order topics. Hear about the story and some anecdotes around Safe harbour, privacy shield and Schrems rulings - we will understand the background, reasoning - which ultimately will help us to get from a reactive to a proactive and sustainable strategy. More importantly, we will discover how to make the Schrems II ruling actionable as a company. And we will end with a positive spin: How can companies turn complications into opportunities and could Schrems II inhibit the road to innovation?

About Max Schrems: 
Maximilian Schrems is an Austrian activist, lawyer, and author who became known for campaigns against Facebook for its privacy violations, including violations of European privacy laws and the alleged transfer of personal data to the US National Security Agency (NSA) as part of the NSA's PRISM program. Schrems is the founder of NOYB – the European Center for Digital Rights.

About Felix Rosbach:
Felix has been passionate about technology, cyber-security and hacking since he was in grade school. Today, he is the Vice President of Product Management at comforte. Drawing from his vast experience and expertise in cybersecurity & cryptography, he is responsible for the success of comforte AG’s strategy for Enterprise Data Security and connecting with companies to secure their data and their growth.

Cybersecurity will continue to be a grave concern in 2022. In 2021, we saw record-setting ransomware attacks, including high-profile attacks on state-owned networks, critical infrastructure and of course organizations. On a more positive note, more and more organizations came to see the value in data-centric protection methods and we also saw increased adoption of promising security philosophies, such as Zero Trust. So how does the cybersecurity landscape of 2021 might look like?  
We here at comforter AG decided to engage in a bit of crystal-gazing and attempt to identify the cybersecurity trends on the horizon for 2022.

Webinar | Data-centric Security the Misunderstood Pilar of Zero Trust

We've all seen it. Product hurtling to release, dev working through the night, UX, test, iterate, customer, consumer, design – breach. Thanks to GDPR, getting DevOps teams to care about security is no longer nice to have – it's a legal obligation. Security by design; shifting security left – we know this needs to happen… but how? 

DevOps thrives off its agile, free-wheeling, cloud-based, build-quick-and-break-things attitude. Security protocols don't often fit and sometimes are seen as an obstacle. So there needs to be a cultural shift – a point where developers think security and risk at the same time as user experience and consumer benefit. Then they need the right tools to test, iterate and implement.

In this SC Media UK webinar in partnership with comforte AG, explores. We will focus on how to make that change in DevOps and what key tools make that shift stick with speakers from Microsoft & Redhat.

Webinar | How to Change the "fix-it-later" Culture: Making DevOps Teams Care

Most organisations want to go beyond just modernising their IT infrastructure. Instead, they want their IT investments to underpin true digital innovation, giving them a tangible competitive edge. Unfortunately, digital innovation is hard to achieve because of factors, such as data silos, alignment on transformational goals, data security and protection, and especially, compliance roadblocks. So, how do you make sure that you achieve digital innovation while maintaining effective data protection and remaining in compliance?
In this webinar, we explored: 
 -The benefits of digital innovation
 -Securing data in the face of inevitable breaches
 -Being compliant and secure
 -Implementing strong data-centric security to drive agile business practice

Webinar | How to Overcome Compliance Roadblocks to Digital Innovation

It has become common in the daily news cycle to see data breaches as a direct result of a cloud security misconfiguration, a lack of security hygiene being followed or a third-party having unauthorised access.

But why are there so many cloud and data exposures and how do these incidences keep occurring?    

Trevor Morgan, Product Manager at comforte AG and Bob Diachenko, Cyber Threat Intelligence Director, SecurityDiscovery.com tackles these questions and will advise on how to better understand the many risks posed to data in the cloud and how to effectively protect it to meet the modern demands of regulatory compliance.

The global transition to pervasive computing in the 20th century brought benefits to the worlds of business and homelife that our ancestors could only have dreamt of. But that transformation came at a price - it also opened a Pandora’s Box of cyber-security threats that have become an ever-present and unwelcome feature of our modern lives. The news we all read every day is packed with evidence of the far reaching effects that neglecting data-security best-practice can have on companies big and small, from household names to small start-ups.

The indisputable fact that can’t be ignored, is that cyber security attacks are growing in number and sophistication. As we strive to enhance our defences, attackers improve their tools, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) to raise the stakes. All of which begs the question - Can there ever be a definitive solution to the ever-escalating cyber-war between hackers and those seeking to protect sensitive personal or company data?

South Africa’s Protection of Personal Information Act (#POPIA) took effect on July 1, 2020 with a grace period of 12 months, meaning that enforcement will begin July 1, 2021.
In this video, we briefly explain some bite-sized facts you may actually need to know.

POPIA Bite-sized Facts

Cloud IT is not new, but new “cloud-native” ecosystems drastically change the modern retailer and payment processor operation. Such ecosystems emerged rapidly with COVID19, enabling online API engagement. New cloud-native foundations, like #Kubernetes, complicate compliance and bring completely new risks. Traditional PCI DSS compliance is harder to apply, complicating risk reduction, inhibiting agility, and aggravating growth and recovery. PCI DSS 4.0 brings a natural fit to measure and reduce risk.
