That’s because it *was* only 18 months ago, and yet despite Marriott being fined almost £100m by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), it has fallen victim to another significant data breach.

GDPR - It’s Not Just for Europe: Protection of Data at the World Cup in Russia, Tokyo Olympics, and Beyond

Mon, 04/30/2018
With the World Cup in Russia this summer and the Olympics in Tokyo in 2020 further down the line; organizations conducting business around the event will face unprecedented challenges with cybersecurity and data protection. With the rise in data breaches in recent times, it might not be too strong to say that the success of these major international events relies upon the whole country being data security conscious. Everything from local hotels to travel agents and tour operators will process increasingly large quantities of customer data, including credit card details, making them ripe targets for cybercriminals. This personally identifiable data (PII) will include EU citizen data and so will need to be protected as per the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

USBs: The Inconspicuous Enemy

Mon, 02/08/2016
At around three centimetres in length and weighing less than 30 grams on average, the USB flash drive would appear to be a relatively innocuous storage device, but losing or inserting an unknown USB into a personal or company computer could have devastating consequences. With over 22,000 USB sticks being left in the pockets of clothing sent to Britain’s dry cleaners, alone last year, we thought it valuable to outline the dangers of the simple USB and how individuals and organizations alike can protect against the potential cyber weaknesses they can bring about.
