With the rise of cybersecurity threats from personal phones to computers, note-taking app Evernote bets its cloud platform can handle those issues. “Part of our move to the public cloud was to really, really strengthen our already strong security, so that was a big step for us,” CEO Chris O'Neill told Cheddar. “The trust in security is really crucial because people trust their lives to Evernote.” The company launched its Google Cloud Platform last February, moving 5 billion notes and 5 billion attachments to the cloud in 70 days.

Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations.
