As people insist on more privacy, and more legislators follow the examples of Europe and California, companies are facing a surge in compliance demands and data subject requests.
That’s hard enough for big companies, with sprawling landscapes of data, but it’s especially complicated for smaller businesses, which lack the kinds of professionals needed to manage a proper privacy program.

Brex was already in the midst of a dramatic reinvention when Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in March 2023. The spend management platform, founded in 2017, had spent the prior year pivoting from a focus on offering corporate credit cards to startups to a software-as-a-service model encompassing a more holistic spend-management platform designed for enterprise customers. But Brex didn’t hesitate to rapidly spin up solutions for fleeing SVB customers, increasing FDIC insurance on its busin

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry—they are used in immunotherapy to treat numerous illnesses, with high potency against emerging viruses. Since 2016, about 70% of all mAbs have been grown in the cell lines of Chinese hamster ovaries, which produce humanlike antibodies.
