Forcepoint An Industry Leader by Analyst Standards


The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority's (APRA) CPG 235 standard, "Managing Data Risks," aims to strengthen data governance within financial institutions. While crucial, many companies struggle with manual compliance processes that are inefficient, error-prone, and complex.


Konverge offers a leading solution by Forcepoint, that simplifies and automates CPG 235 compliance. Forcepoint's comprehensive platform provides IT security, data security, and compliance services tailored for the financial industry.


Key Challenges of CPG 235


CPG 235 is applicable to all financial entities in Australia offering deposit and insurance products. It mandates effective management of data security risks, not only for compliance but also to protect business reputation and align with global standards like GDPR.


A Comprehensive Solution


Clause 27 of CPG 235 requires a clear understanding of data flow (data lineage) throughout its entire lifecycle. Forcepoint's solution excels by automating data lineage, showcasing the origin, usage, transformation, and destination of data. This comprehensive approach empowers organisations to:


  •   Establish a unified system of record for all assets.
  •   Utilise AI for real-time error identification and prevention.
  •   Generate compliance reports, particularly for sensitive data.
  •   Track data movement across the entire organisation.


The Importance of Data Lineage


Data lineage provides a visual representation of data movement from ingestion to disposal. It identifies issues related to quality, security, privacy, and governance, enabling swift action and process improvement.


Data Lifecycle and Disposal


To fully meet CPG 235 requirements, Konverge and Forcepoint recommends mapping lineage diagrams for regulated business processes. Their automated data lineage identifies potential security gaps and optimises data handling for both efficiency and compliance.

Digital content creation is happening faster than ever, that includes having so much image content or digital creations and staying organised is so important to not be overwhelmed and yet product high quality work. Whether you're a photographer, designer, illustrator, or video editor, managing thousands of files efficiently can be a daunting task.

But beyond just being a file browser, it offers tagging , metadata editing , batch renaming , and automation features that significantly improve file management. If you've been juggling files manually, it’s time to discover why Adobe Bridge should be an essential part of your creative workflow.

Is the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) legal

By Johnny Thai • January 14, 2025
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that enhances online privacy and security by encrypting internet traffic and routing it through a secure server. This process masks the user's IP address, making it appear as though they are accessing the internet from a different location. VPNs are commonly used for: Privacy Protection: Encrypting online activity to prevent tracking by third parties, including Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and hackers. For example, a journalist working in a country with internet censorship uses a VPN to browse securely and protect their sources. Bypassing Geo-Restrictions: Accessing content that may be blocked or restricted based on the user's location. For example, an Australian user wants to watch U.S. Netflix content and uses a VPN to appear as if they are in the U.S. Securing Public Wi-Fi: Protecting data from potential cyber threats when using unsecured public networks. For example, a remote worker connects to a coffee shop Wi-Fi and uses a VPN to protect sensitive company data from potential cyber threats. Business Use: Enabling employees to securely access corporate networks from remote locations. For example, financial institution mandates VPN usage to protect sensitive client data from unauthorised access.
