Major Findings:
- The public continues to have faith in Microsoft’s dedication to data security, as seen by their strong sentiment and volume-based score, which has allowed them to keep their leadership position despite their most recent hacking event.
- Questions about the public’s unexpected view of NetEase’s data security in light of data breaches, a lack of transparency, and government surveillance have arisen in response to the company’s shockingly low sentiment and volume-based score.
- An exceptionally high sentiment and volume-based score for Tech Mahindra indicates widespread approval of the company’s data security measures, which have been bolstered by audits and an emphasis on the needs of end users.
- The lack of transparency surrounding Palantir Technologies’ products, contracts with the government and military, privacy scandals, and absence of third-party audits all contribute to the company’s poor sentiment score.
- Zoom Video Communications has a bad reputation when it comes to data privacy because of its history of security breaches, ambiguous regulations, data sharing, and concerns about spying, even as its popularity has been pushed by the pandemic.
- There are concerns about Atlassian’s data security policies and the company’s public image, as indicated by its high volume-based score and unfavorable sentiment. The perception of Atlassian’s data privacy is marred by data breaches, ambiguous policies, integrations with third-party apps, restricted data control, and historical issues.
