How BlackCloak Cuts Through the Noise

The number of data breaches, and the tally of victims, can be dizzying. And unless you dig deep to learn about the details, it can all seem like white noise. This is also stacked up against browser and device updates released to patch security vulnerabilities cybercriminals are looking to exploit.

Yes, it’s true that all data breaches aren’t created equal, and yes, some updates are for minor functionality adjustments rather than patching a zero day vulnerability. Some incidents may have basic information compromised that won’t cause too many headaches, but others will see the leaking of sensitive information that will leave victims at real risk of harm.

The question now becomes this: How do I know which development to follow?

Luckily for our clients, BlackCloak takes the time to assess these major data breaches and security updates to ensure everyone takes the right course of action. This article will cite certain examples to highlight how BlackCloak provides clients with total peace of mind.
