We often say creating a better tomorrow isn’t just a slogan, it’s our goal. From our talent recruiting to our products and services, we want to play a positive role in your financial future. That desired impact extends to the work we do in the communities in which we live work and serve. That’s why our recent honor from the 2024 Anthem Awards is so exciting. Created in 2021 by The Webby Awards, The Anthem Awards honors the purpose and mission-driven work of people, companies and organizations worldwide. We are thrilled that our modern and more relatable approach to financial health has been honored with a Bronze Anthem Award for the video series, “HeartBroke,” produced in partnership with The Singleton Foundation. As part of our United for Financial Health initiative, the show brings together couples for frank and honest conversations about their finances and how relationships are tested with financial issues. Financial expert Misty Lynch coaches them through those issues to help them determine if they can work through it or end up HeartBroke(n). It’s no surprise that money matters can put enormous strain on relationships and our daily lives. That’s why we’re also working with The Singleton Foundation to help young adults master money basics in the show “Your World on Money.” Now in its second season, “Your World on Money” explores topics like insurance, how to negotiate your salary, credit invisibility and stock market basics. It's exciting to be among the distinguished winners honored this year. But for Experian, helping you feel empowered when it comes to your credit and finances is the bigger reward.
In its 11th year, Experian's Data Breach Resolution group today released its annual Data Breach Industry Forecast for 2024. The report’s global outlook identifies potential moves cybercriminals near and far may take to penetrate organizations and cause chaos. The six predictions included offer commentary into the evolving landscape including the vulnerabilities in expansive data supply chains, what may be new targets, and the sophistication of cyber crews globally. A key reminder is that cybercriminals are working smarter not harder. Like many, they too are potentially leveraging modern tools like artificial intelligence. There may be sophisticated cybergangs operating like organized crime families. Also, hackers today could be backed by growing resources from nation-state sponsors. Their MO is not only stealing data to possibly sell on the dark web or deploy ransomware anymore. They can potentially reap benefits by disrupting economies or industries as we mention in our prediction, “No, not Mother Earth!” or use intellectual property as collateral or for personal gain outlined in the “Winning from the Inside” prediction, for example. There are always new ways of conducting “business” for cybercriminals. In the face of emerging cyber threats, organizations are urged to prioritize cybersecurity as a fundamental aspect of their operations. They should regularly update and reinforce security protocols, conduct thorough risk assessments, and invest in cutting-edge cybersecurity technologies. By staying vigilant and adopting a proactive cybersecurity stance, organizations can significantly mitigate the risks posed by the evolving tactics of cybercriminals in 2024 and beyond. Experian Global Data Breach Resolution offers international resources for companies impacted by a security incident and services include IdentityWorks℠ Global, multilingual call centers, and notifications covering more than 100 countries. Experian has also recently expanded capabilities to Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. To access the complimentary report, visit https://ex.pn/2024databreachindustryforecast.
