With over $101 million in jewelry stolen, the recent Louvre heist was a costly success for criminals. However, French publications suggest the thieves may have encountered less resistance than an organization of the museum's stature should provide, thanks to a documented history of severe cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved from science fiction to a daily reality, fundamentally reshaping how we work and communicate. Yet, behind every groundbreaking AI application lies massive infrastructure in the form of data centers. These sprawling facilities, packed with servers, storage, and networking equipment, aren't just filing cabinets for data; they are the engines that make AI possible.

Data privacy compliance has moved from a niche legal issue to a core operational requirement for every SMB owner and manager.
