Today's Story Highlights

Solid Cross-Border Strategies for International Growth
International e-commerce has become more pervasive and sophisticated in
recent years. In 2017, 1.66 billion people worldwide purchased goods
online. During the same year, global e-retail sales amounted to $2.3
trillion, and that figure could grow to $4.48 trillion by 2021. E-
commerce providers must continue to innovate to ensure they take full
advantage of opportunities outside their home market.

Users Rate 'Creep Factor' in New Privacy-Security Product Guide
The Mozilla Foundation is expanding a campaign begun last year to help
consumers buy safe, secure connected toys and mobile gadgets this
holiday season. Mozilla's 2018 edition Privacy Not Included buyers'
guide offers an assessment of the privacy and security qualities of 70
products, ranging from connected teddy bears and smart speakers to game
consoles and smart home gadgets.

When the News Went Live... Online
The shift of live content from traditional broadcast television to
online sources has significantly changed the video industry -- and
especially, the news media industry. News typically derives its value
and attracts viewers with live updates and real-time engagement. The
rise of live online alternatives extends those capabilities to
nontraditional voices in the digital realm.

Chatbots Gaining Altitude
How do they really know? That's the question that immediately comes to
mind in reviewing the top-level data from Voxpro's recent survey of
customers and their relationship with chatbots. The data show that 68
percent of consumers haven't used chatbots to contact a brand. About
1,000 people answered the survey. How reliable is that number, though?
I'm not disrespecting Voxpro -- just the opposite.

When Is the Time to Hire a Cyber Specialist?
Cybersecurity has been becoming a larger and larger concern for
organizations. Nowadays, most organizations -- regardless of size,
industry, location, or profit vs. nonprofit status -- find themselves
directly or indirectly impacted by cybersecurity. Even though the topic
itself is increasing in importance, many smaller organizations don't
have specialized security expertise on staff.
