In this cybersecurity news roundup, see how businesses from across industries are reacting to cyber challenges.

Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, with new threats, cutting-edge technologies, and major company announcements emerging daily. Keeping up with these developments is essential to protect your organization and its clients from potential risks. Here’s a look at some key business developments that are steering the future of cybersecurity. 

Solutions

LOKKER has added a new consent management solution to its Privacy Edge Platform. LOKKER, which specializes in online data privacy and compliance solutions, claims its platform can work as a standalone product or alongside a company’s existing CMP to proactively detect and block pixels, tags and trackers and the cookies they set that can serve in a “Reject All” state. In a recent quote, Ian Cohen, CEO of LOKKER, said, “Our goal has always been to stop unauthorized data collection in real-time, and give companies visibility and a last line of defense against what data leaves the site. Adding a consent management banner was built in direct response to the shortcomings and issues businesses are experiencing with existing consent tools on the market. We wanted to help address those and ensure organizations are compliant with new and evolving data privacy laws. This new functionality addresses those concerns.”
