During the last few years, we have witnessed an increase in advanced cyber attacks. Cybercriminals utilize advanced technology to breach the digital boundary and exploit enterprises’ security vulnerabilities. No industry feels secure; security professionals do their utmost to close security gaps and strengthen their cyber defense. As new technologies p

The average cost of a data breach reached an all-time high of $4.35 million this year, according to newly published 2022 Cost of a Data Breach Report, an increase of 2.6% from a year ago and 12.7% since 2020. New research in this year’s report also reveals for the first time that 83% of organizations in the study have experienced more than one data br

When content creators flag one of their own videos as inappropriate for children, we expect YouTube’s AI moderator to accept this and move on. But the video streaming bot doesn’t seem to get it. Not only can it prevent creators from correcting a miscategorization, its synthetic will is also final—no questions asked—unless the content creator appe

Many industries have had to tighten belts in the “new normal”. In cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI) can help. Every day of the new normal we learn how the pandemic sped up digital transformation, as reflected in the new opportunities and new risks. For many, organizational complexity and legacy infrastructure and support processes are

“When we found the No. 10 case, my jaw dropped.” John Scott-Railton recalled after finding out on July 7, 2020 that Pegasus, the highly sophisticated flagship spyware of Israel’s NSO Group, was used to infect a phone linked to the network at 10 Downing Street, the UK Prime Minister’s home and office. For years, the Citizen Lab, a spec

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most high-profile technology developments in recent history. It would appear that there is no end to what AI can do. Fom driverless cars, dictation tools, translator apps, predictive analytics and application tracking, as well as retail tools such as smart shelves and carts to apps that help people with disabilities

The smart home is now a reality. We have robots that can clean the floor, open blinds, turn on switches and open doors. We also rely on smart assistants like Siri and Alexa to answer questions, read our text messages, manage our diaries and more. Most of these technologies are perfectly harmless – the vacuum cleans up dust, the blinds open and close and the

Facebook, recently rebranded as Meta, led by Mark Zuckerberg, decided to heavily bet on developing the metaverse. Facebook’s CEO is one of the wealthiest people in the world, and Facebook is one of the most recognized tech brands in the world, so one way or another, we will see the metaverse slowly going mainstream over the following years. However, th

This week, NATO Defence Ministers released the first-ever strategy for Artificial Intelligence (AI) that encourages the use of AI in a responsible manner. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the global defence and security environment, for this reason, NATO Defence Ministers released the first-ever strategy for this technology that promotes its devel

When I attended new employee orientation at a global technology company several decades ago, I remember very brief cybersecurity training. The gist was to contact someone in IT if we noticed any potential issues. While I was with the company, I only thought about cybersecurity when I passed the server room, and I could only peek into that locked, dark

You’ve probably heard how using artificial intelligence (AI) can improve your cybersecurity — and how threat actors are using AI to launch attacks. You know that you need to use the same tools, if not better ones. AI security is about having the right tools, but also about having the right information.  But you aren’t sure where to st

Over the last year, the average total cost of a data breach increased nearly 10% to $4.24 million. That’s the highest average in the history of IBM Security’s annual Cost of a Data Breach Report. This was due to a number of factors. Increased remote working due to the COVID-19 pandemic and digital transformation both matter. Critical industries

Quantum computing is still cutting-edge, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. What is quantum computing? Is it the same as quantum cryptography, a central tenet of so-called quantum security? And where does artificial intelligence (AI) fit in? What Is Quantum Security?  Often when you hear about quantum computing in terms of security

Data poisoning against security software that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is likely the next big cybersecurity risk. According to the RSA 2021 keynote presentation by Johannes Ullrich, dean of research of SANS Technology Institute, it’s a threat we should all keep an eye on. “One of the most basic threats when it

I have data breach fatigue. Every day, my inbox is flooded with dozens of emails about the newest data breaches and what causes them. Five years ago, I took note of every company listed and the mistakes made that led to the breach. Today, I barely skim them. How many times can I read that a hotel chain, restaurant chain, retail chain, etc. were victims
