  • Cyble Marks 15 Years of the Data Privacy Day with Insights on the Evolution of Data Safety Regulations

    Cyble Marks 15 Years of the Data Privacy Day with Insights on the Evolution of Data Safety Regulations

    ALPHARETTA, GA, January 28: “Data,” as we know it, has evolved and grown in stature and importance significantly over the past decade. Data has gone from being a simple component of computing processes to becoming an integral part of business operations (data science). Data is the actual product/asset in several notable cases and a key business differentiator for several firms.

    Data now fuels many industries – generated through targeted, personalized advertisements to mobile and website tracking of users to learn about their behaviors and preferences.

    As the application and the value of data grows, so does the potential to exploit it. As a result, the privacy of individuals is under significant threats than ever before as malicious actors, data brokers, and several other business entities try to harvest, sell, or monetize personal or enterprise data for their own commercial purposes.

    While most organizations process personal data for business purposes, they run the risk of running afoul of global data privacy regulations owing to a lack of awareness about the data privacy principles laid down in regulations such as the GDPR and the CCPA. Recently there have been several public data breaches and regulatory actions on several organizations when they were found to breach the trust of their customers by engaging in personal data processing in violation of the data privacy acts.

    To this end, Data Privacy Day-celebrated globally on January 28th-is dedicated to ensuring that data collection, use, and sharing is conducted ethically by organizations, and individuals are appropriately sensitized about the importance of their personal data privacy and their rights as the owner of their personal information.

    This includes educating the end-users on best practices to ensure their data is not captured without their consent, advising them not to share their sensitive data unless necessary, and improving the security of their data altogether to prevent identity theft and unauthorized profiling.

    At Cyble, we believe that a critical step in contributing towards Data Privacy Awareness is helping people understand the extent of their personal data exposure on the surface web and the dark web to help them safeguard themselves from a potential personal data breach.

    On this Data Privacy Day 2022, we invite you to head over to AmIBreached.com to assess your personal data privacy exposure and be a part of the growing privacy-aware community.

    Cyble is a global threat intelligence SaaS provider that helps enterprises protect themselves from cybercrimes and exposure in the surface web, deep web, and dark web.

  • Pragum: Enabling Businesses Get a Digital Facelift

    The Bangalore-based startup offers cutting-edge business intelligence solutions, digital marketing, web development, app development, and other services to clients in an array of industries

    Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], December 17: Looking for cutting-edge intelligence solutions for your business? Or creating a user-friendly website? Bangalore-based Pragum, a fast-growing technology startup, is an expert in delivering these services and much more.

    Pragum was founded in 2019 by Prashant Tank with the vision to help B2B companies achieve a digital makeover, Pragum’s offerings include state-of-the-art business intelligence solutions, creating user-friendly and custom-designed websites, and native and hybrid mobile apps to boost online presence.

    The young company has been making waves, and in just two years, it has successfully delivered more than 30 projects for clients in a variety of niches, including e-commerce, healthcare, manufacturing, and construction.

    Pragum’s exhaustive list of services also includes high-quality Web Designing & Development, Digital Marketing, Enterprises Solutions, E-commerce web & app development, Cloud & Cloud Services, and Business Analytics, among others.

    “We started with the aim of helping B2B businesses enhance their digital services. Many businesses have plans to boost their digital presence, but hiring an in-house team of analysts, developers, and marketers is an expensive proposition and not feasible for a majority of businesses. We are bridging this gap by providing all these services and more at a fraction of the cost, ensuring a greater return on investment for clients,” said Mr. Tank, the founder of Pragum.

    Pragum specialises in creating multi-devices that are flawless and supported by high-end technology solutions. Combined with its digital marketing services, the startup opens new doors to the ever-growing digital world for companies and helps them explore new markets.

    With the help of digital marketing efforts, the startup’s team of developers, designers, marketers, content writers, copywriters, and analysts transforms clients’ business digitally and helps them generate and convert leads.

    “We cater to companies operating in a multitude of industries, including construction, manufacturing, healthcare, e-commerce, retail, and many more. We aim to have a presence across several companies, which will allow us to reach more businesses and help them grow their business with our unique offerings,” he said further.

    Pragum’s notable clients include real estate players Gopalan Enterprises and Housesites.in, to whom the startup successfully provided digital marketing services.

    It has provided web development & SEO services to renewable energy player Solar Hause, lead generation services to Gopalan Engineering College, web development and digital marketing services to healthcare provider Sanjeevini Homoeopathy, and cafe like Dear Bangalore Cafe, and web development services to Artitude Studio.

    While Prashant Tank is the driving force behind Pragum, the young startup’s success is equally driven by a high-quality and experienced team.

    It’s a common saying, but it is true in our case: Our team is what makes us successful. Pragum is a great place to work. Each employee is an amazing individual, but they all make Pragum so enjoyable and rewarding. Pragum is a talented, close-knit group that shares a common vision to deliver consistently outstanding results for clients. We also want the agency to be a challenging, fun, inclusive and rewarding place to work.

    We are proud of the team that we have built. Although there are more than 10 of us now, it still feels like there were only a few of them. Pragum was founded on the belief that talented people can work together to make Pragum better for their clients. Pragum is not a “one-size fits all” agency. Pragum’s employees are all unique individuals united by five core values. These values apply to everything we do in the agency.

We also aim at providing performance-based placement support to the trained pilots.” Said Mr. Om Prakash Das, Chief Operating Officer, IG Drones
