Infographic - The Sony PlayStation Hack

May 23, 2011
Infographic - The Sony PlayStation Hack We were doing an expose on the 'Sony Hack Fiasco' and realized no infographic was done on the subject - at least none we can find. Considering how big the issue was for our readers, we decided to create an infographic to summarize the events. Our sources include news site and commentary pieces. Because the subject matter is so time sensitive, we decided to include minimal information to the graphic and get it out when it matters. We will, however, be updating it with the latest information as it comes through. Source : https://www.creditcardfinder.com.au/the-sony-playstation-hack-what-it-means-outside-the-gaming-world.html

SaaS Adoption is Skyrocketing, Resilience Hasn't Kept Pace SaaS platforms have revolutionized how businesses operate. They simplify collaboration, accelerate deployment, and reduce the overhead of managing infrastructure. But with their rise comes a subtle, dangerous assumption: that the convenience of SaaS extends to resilience. It doesn't. These platforms weren't built with full-scale data protection in mind . Most follow a shared responsibility model — wherein the provider ensures uptime and application security, but the data inside is your responsibility. In a world of hybrid architectures, global teams, and relentless cyber threats, that responsibility is harder than ever to manage. Modern organizations are being stretched across: Hybrid and multi-cloud environments with decentralized data sprawl Complex integration layers between IaaS, SaaS, and legacy systems Expanding regulatory pressure with steeper penalties for noncompliance Escalating ransomware threats and inside...
