🔒 When the cloud goes down, so does business. This week, a major Amazon Web Services (AWS) outage took some of the world’s biggest platforms offline - including Amazon, Canva, Disney+, Reddit, Snapchat, Roblox, and even government and banking systems. AWS cited an “operational issue” in its US-EAST-1 region that cascaded globally, disrupting over 70 cloud services and causing widespread downtime for apps, websites, and enterprise systems. For hours, businesses couldn’t process transactions, access data, or communicate with customers. It’s a stark reminder of how dependent we are on cloud infrastructure - and how fragile it can be. 💡 Whether it’s a cloud outage or a cyber attack, every minute of downtime costs money, reputation, and trust. Protect your business from one of the two with ZENDATA Cyber Security - because resilience isn’t optional when your systems are always online. 🖥️ Explore our protection packages: zendata.security/shop #zendata #cybersecurity #cloudsecurity #incidentresponse #digitalresilience #dataprotection #infosec #businesscontinuity #threatintelligence #awsoutage #downtime

ZENDATA at GITEX GLOBAL Largest Tech & Startup Show in the World 2025 Discussing Threat Intelligence in Retail: Spotting Fraud Before Checkout At GITEX 2025, Felipe Castro, Virtual CISO at ZENDATA, joined a panel discussion exploring how privacy, data signals, and ethical AI are redefining the future of fraud prevention in retail. Felipe shared his perspective on the evolving role of Threat Intelligence, emphasising how the sharing of device, IP, and behavioural data helps detect fraud long before checkout. “We’re seeing a shift from reactive fraud management to proactive intelligence,” Felipe explained. “By analysing behavioural biometrics, device fingerprinting, and velocity checks, we can improve accuracy without adding friction for legitimate users.” The conversation also focused on collaboration and shared intelligence, especially for smaller merchants aiming to strengthen their protection on a limited budget. Ethical AI and transparency were key themes throughout, aligning with PSD2, AML/KYC, and modern data governance standards. With MENA’s online payments increasing by 650% since 2020, the region is at a pivotal moment - where Generative AI is poised to shape both the defence and deception sides of fraud prevention. #gitex2025 #cybersecurity #threatintelligence #fraudprevention #ethicalai #fintech #datagovernance #mena

🔒 The Qantas data breach is a wakeup call for all businesses Hackers from the collective Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters have leaked the personal data of 5 million Qantas customers on the dark web, after the airline reportedly refused to pay ransom demands. The breach originated from a Salesforce-linked database, impacting more than 40 global companies including Toyota, Disney, and Adidas. While no financial or passport details were exposed, compromised data includes emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, and frequent flyer numbers - information that can easily be weaponised for phishing, identity theft, and social engineering attacks. Qantas has implemented additional security measures and obtained an injunction to prevent further dissemination of the stolen data, but this incident highlights a growing truth: Even without financial data, personal information can be just as dangerous in the wrong hands. At ZENDATA, we continue to see a rise in third-party and supply-chain breaches, where attackers exploit integrations between trusted platforms. The takeaway for organisations? 🔸 Map and monitor your data flows 🔸 Secure third-party connections 🔸 Prepare for breach response - not just prevention Cyber resilience starts before the breach happens. #ZENDATA #cybersecurity #dataprotection #infosec #qantas #salesforce #cyberrisk #privacy #australia #databreach Sources: The Guardian + New York Times

We asked Hala ElGhawi 💡 banking leader, public speaker, and cybersecurity advocate, if she’s afraid of AI. Her answer? Awareness, not fear. With over 16 years in the banking industry 🏦, Hala has built her career around risk management, information security, and IT governance - disciplines that demand vigilance and vision. Holding a Master’s in Quality Management 🎓 and a suite of certifications from CISSP to ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, she reminds us that the biggest risk isn’t AI itself - it’s the failure to understand, regulate, and adapt to it. 🤖 AI is a tool - it’s our responsibility to use it wisely. 🧠 The human firewall is more important than ever. #zendata #cybersecurity #ai #riskmanagement #informationsecurity #leadership #womenincyber #dataprotection #infosec #governance #resilience
