Introducing Data Insider, the new Digital Guardian Blog

The Digital Guardian Blog has been publishing daily since August 2014, and today we've released an all new brand name, look and feel with tons of new features aimed at improved reader experience. Here's a quick overview of our blog's new brand and functionality – be sure to explore and experience these changes yourself!

The Digital Guardian Blog is now DATAINSIDER

After more than two years of publishing and building a reader base of hundreds of thousands of security professionals and enthusiasts, we've decided to give our blog its own name: Data Insider. The blog's new brand reflects our commitment to data protection. From sharing findings from monitoring and securing data across millions of devices worldwide to advising readers on how to protect their own data from new threats, data protection is our focus and passion, and we hope our new blog name reflects that.
