While not a new concept by any means, first-party data, which refers to the information a company collects directly from customers, has taken on new meaning in the Digital Age. In fact, thanks to modern digital touchpoint strategies, businesses can now make the most of today’s Digital Age to expand their reach across generations. Such strategies recognize the significant differences in how different age groups engage with companies. For instance, 66% of Gen Z shoppers are more likely to shop both online and in-store, as compared to only 37% of Baby Boomers. Taking advantage of key digital touchpoints like this is crucial for your business to succeed. Here are a few strategies you might find worthwhile. Insight-Driven Social Media Activity The majority of modern businesses understand that social media helps engage consumers. However, many tend to use social media somewhat lazily, putting out basic updates and leaving it at that. Instead, it’s more helpful to use social media as a touchpoint for customer acquisition and retention. This process is just one aspect of an insights-driven marketing approach, which involves the collection and analysis of data through a variety of means. Interestingly, if the approach involves using social media as a touchpoint, it works in both directions. On the one hand, social media interactions can assist in the gathering of data relating to demographics, social profiles, behavior, interests, and direct feedback. However, it can go even further by acting as an invaluable tool for modern marketers to capitalize on data insights. Consequently, research indicates that social media is one of the most effective avenues on which to deliver an “excellent customer experience”. Such experiences can result in up to a 16% premium on products and services, as well as increased customer loyalty. Similarly, personalized marketin…

encoded: BNP Paribas Bank Polska has started cooperation with Secfense, a Polish startup cybersecurity company based in Krakow. The cooperation between BNP Paribas Bank Polska and Secfense focuses mainly on developing a modern MFA solution. Especially during the pandemic, multi-factor authentication (also known as strong or two-factor authentication) has become one of the best ways to limit the risks of phishing and credential theft. Strong authentication ensures equally high-security levels for both users requesting access from home and at the office. According to a recent Gartner study, companies that introduce remote work quickly and without MFA in 2021 will experience five times more account takeover incidents than those that use MFA. (Gartner, Enhance Remote Access Security with Multi-factor Authentication and Access Management, May 2020) Until recently, a large-scale MFA adoption has been a difficult undertaking since it necessitated changing the codes of existing applications. User Access Security Broker, a new technology developed by Secfense, solves this issue. Its main features are scalability and flexibility, which allow for MFA deployment on any number of applications and freedom to choose any authentication method that is best suited to the way the applications are used. Cybersecurity experts at BNP Paribas Bank Polska appreciate the User Access Security Broker developed by Secfense. Our Cybersecurity team will work together with Secfense to further improve this solution. “We are faced with new challenges every day. We must always be one step ahead of the attackers and know what they are going to do before they do it. We are convinced that User Access Security Broker will bring security to a new level, both for those working at the office and from home. For us, working with Secfense is an opportunity to exchange experience with developers who put great value on out-of-the-box thinking.” Krzysztof Slotwinski, Business Comtinuity and Computer Security Officer at B…

encoded: The pandemic’s economic consequences rippled throughout the globe and across all sectors. Among the hardest hit has been retail, counting more than 15,500 closed stores in the U.S. in 2020 alone — and that number has only continued to rise since then. Meanwhile, other retailers have learned to adapt to pandemic restrictions and change their long-term financial outlook to avoid closures. Indeed, the pandemic has altered the trajectory of many businesses and forced the retail sector to come up with creative responses to survive and thrive. Here, we are going to discuss how exactly the retail sector has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Image credit: Unsplash Advancing E-Commerce Capabilities To prevent the virus from spreading, most brick-and-mortar stores had to temporarily close their doors. For this reason, consumers are now turning to e-commerce, which ensures safe and touch-free transactions. E-commerce has been steadily growing in recent years, but the pandemic further boosted the demand for online purchasing. This pushed brands to ramp up their virtual capabilities and make sure that their products and services remained accessible. True enough, Americans spent $791.7 billion online last year. To keep this momentum going, retail businesses must continue building on their e-commerce capabilities — whether through expanding their social media presence or optimizing their online retail operations. An Emphasis on Cybersecurity Due to the increase of businesses in today’s cyberspace, criminals have also evolved to target online companies — particularly those without solid cybersecurity practices in place. This is especially troubling, considering how attacks like data breaches and digital fraud can cripple businesses. In fact, an IBM report notes that the average quantifiable cost of a data breach is $8.19 million in the United States ⁠— which is more than enough to put small retailers out of business. To avoid being vulnerable to hackers and other cybercriminals…

A man after innovation and team leadership, Roman and his brilliant team did what most people thought would be impossible – they managed to grow their event and networking platform during a global pandemic. Even under these disastrous circumstances when the whole world shut down, VentureOut Alumni Eventee successfully pivoted their platform to meet the ever-changing needs of the 2020 consumer. “Did we plan higher growth in 2020? Definitely. Was I afraid we are going to go bankrupt? You bet.” Roman Mastalir Eventee provides easy-to-use event management tools with an awesome mobile event app for event organizers and attendees. Although 2020 was a challenging year for Eventee, I have excerpted this organic growth chart which manifests insights on how Eventee managed to grow even when the Economy is gloomed by COVID. We are excited to bring back our VentureOut alumni Roman Mastalir, the founder of Eventee, and talk to him about his journey with Eventee and how he brought his company from the Czech Republic to the spotlight of the world NYC. Read below for his journey of founding Eventee all the way to keeping his team together during uncertain times. Interview with Roman Mastalir Q: Is there an incident or an event that sparks your interest in creating Eventee and becoming a founder? A: In 2015, as a PR stand, we happened to be invited to create an application for a giant annual tech event in our city. The biggest problem of this event is the fact that it is held by a non-profit organization, and therefore it is free. Every year, it could not avoid having unpaid speakers who were not prepared and canceled the presentation the night before. Besides, the agenda was written on a piece of paper where it got crossed out and rewritten again. So it was a mess. With that being said, we came across an idea “hey, how about let’s try to create an application for them?” It is a tech summit, so we wanted to offer a good…

encoded: False Comfort These days, we’re pretty comfortable online, but in actuality, we’re not nearly as safe as we think. Personal hacks and corporate data breaches are too common for comfort. When I was young, I received a yellow polka-dot journal with a lock on the front. As a child, I was confident that my deepest and darkest secrets were secure behind this superficial barrier. In reality, anybody with the desire to open that book could easily breach the cover. While we would like to think our information is secure online, the reality is not much different than my yellow journal. It only takes one motivated person to steal your information and put your business in jeopardy. Breaches are Common and Costly Every forty seconds, a cyber-attack occurs. Through phishing, vishing, malware, social engineering, and more, hackers are battering the bulwark of every company you could imagine. Sometimes, these attacks succeed. The Yahoo! breach in 2013 resulted in three billion compromised accounts, out of pocket costs of $120 million, and a $350 million cut to an active purchasing offer four years later. This, of course, this is a drastic example; it is the largest data breach to date. But just because a company is small does not mean a breach is not costly. <img src="https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/06/Yahoo-Scanal-news-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-17103" width="386" height="217" srcset="https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/06/Yahoo-Scanal-news-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/06/Yahoo-Scanal-news-300x169.jpg 300w, https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/06/Yahoo-Scanal-news-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/06/Yahoo-Scanal-news.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px" /> According to a report from IBM security, the average quantifiable cost of a data breach is $8.19 million in the United States or $3.29 million globally.

Every morning rush on the subway came with a complimentary fellow commuters elbow puncturing your lung and negative space to hold onto to support yourself when the train took an unexpected jerk left or right. Restaurants and bars expected you to be 2 inches wide in order to slip in between tables to sit down. It’s easy to assume that the concept of personal space was thrown out the window when planning big cities. Now that social distancing has been employed and standing 6 feet apart became standard, these formally cramped lifestyles will have to be rethought. The three major results of COVID-19 on urbanization that will be safer, cleaner, and more sustainable cities. <img src="https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/05/victor-rodriguez-IiLFMkqiFrM-unsplash-1024x680.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-16982" srcset="https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/05/victor-rodriguez-IiLFMkqiFrM-unsplash-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/05/victor-rodriguez-IiLFMkqiFrM-unsplash-300x199.jpg 300w, https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/05/victor-rodriguez-IiLFMkqiFrM-unsplash-768x510.jpg 768w, https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/05/victor-rodriguez-IiLFMkqiFrM-unsplash-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https://ventureoutny.com/app/uploads/2020/05/victor-rodriguez-IiLFMkqiFrM-unsplash-2048x1360.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> Pictured above is the 7 train during a morning commuters rush.

Being a women in tech is recognizing equality. It’s proving that no matter where you came from, or what gender, everyone is equally able to make a name for themselves. A women in tech leads as an example to other women, changing the narrative. They tell other women that they too can take on and lead the way in tech.
