With its roots in hacker communities of the 1990s, today, doxxing remains a widespread cybersecurity issue.

Optical character recognition (OCR) offers organizations the opportunity to get a much better digital handle on the information they store.

Not long ago, deepfake videos – videos that portray something in a very convincing way but are actually entirely false - were something that largely existed in Hollywood – the product of special effects studios and experts trained to make the fictional seem realistic. Those familiar with the ever-evolving, rapidly changing pace of technology, however, will likely be unsurprised to find that this is no longer the case. In fact, deepfake videos are increasingly popping up online and across various media outlets all over the world in troubling numbers.
