∗∗∗ BitLocker, TPM and Pluton | What Are They and How Do They Work ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
The optimal kind of security measure is imperceptible to the user during deployment and usage. Whenever there is a potential delay or difficulty due to a security feature, there is a high probability that users will attempt to circumvent security. This situation is particularly prevalent for data protection, and that is a scenario that organizations need to prevent.

∗∗∗ How companies can get a grip on ‘business email compromise’ ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
The delivery methods vary but the most exploited vector is email as a vehicle for a credential harvesting phishing campaign. Phishing, in general, has grown in scale and sophistication in recent years, with the most damaging form of phishing from a financial perspective being “business email compromise” (BEC). According to Check Point Research, credential harvesting makes up about 15% of all email-based attacks but is the most financially damaging category.
