Apps, analytics and AI: 4 common mistakes
The app economy is big business. Apple’s App Store ecosystem alone generated a staggering $1.1 trillion in total billings and sales for developers in 2022. But as users demand more relevant and immediate experiences, often driven by AI, developers increasingly need competitive advantages to stand out.
Real-time analytics, supercharged by generative AI, can provide a critical edge by allowing developers to extract key insights and quickly adapt their apps to reflect changing user expectations. But only 17 percent of enterprises today have the ability to perform real-time analysis on large volumes of data, and adoption remains slow. Meanwhile, even when companies are able to perform real-time analytics, there are several common mistakes that can prevent them from reaping its full benefits:
Microsoft creates a new reason to buy an AI-powered Copilot+ PC -- image upscaling in Microsoft Photos
Image upscaling has existed as a technology for a number of years, but the results for both videos and still images have proved somewhat mixed. But with the continuous creeping development of AI, Microsoft has just added a preview of super resolution for Copilot+ PCs to its Photos app.
While there are updates and new features for both the Windows 10 and Windows 11 versions of Microsoft Photos, image upscaling is only available to Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs with Windows 11, version 24H2 and higher in the Canary, Dev, and Release Preview Channels. A powerful new OCR feature is available to everyone, however.
Microsoft releases Windows 11 update with revamped Start menu, printer fixes, and new Copilot button remapping
Microsoft has released the KB5044380 update for Windows 11, a preview version of the update that will roll out to everyone next Patch Tuesday. There is quite a lot to be found in this particular release including the previously announced ability to remap the Copilot key on a keyboard if you don’t like its default function.
As this is a preview update there are no security fixes, but problems with multi-function printers, Microsoft Teams, and high battery usage have all been addressed. There are numerous tweaks, fixes and additions that are available immediately to anyone installing the KB5044380 update, but there are also some that are subject to a more gradual rollout.
McAfee and Yahoo News partner to introduce AI-powered deepfake image detection
McAfee has announced a new partnership with Yahoo News, integrating its AI-powered deepfake image detection technology into the platform’s content quality system. This collaboration is designed to help Yahoo News quickly identify images that may have been created or modified using AI, with the goal of maintaining credibility and ensuring that content meets editorial standards.
McAfee’s deepfake image detection tool will flag AI-generated images, which are then reviewed by the Yahoo News editorial standards team. The integration provides a scalable and efficient method to detect manipulated content, offering additional resources to ensure that Yahoo News continues to deliver trusted journalism. This detection is currently being applied to content in the U.S. only.
Third-party JavaScript tags put security at risk
While businesses understand that third-party JavaScript tags collect information, only 13 percent are confident they understand what information they collect and only 26 percent are aware that tags can leak their private user data to other organizations.
A new report from the Jscrambler platform for client-side protection, with research conducted by Dimensional Research, shows 97 percent of respondents say they know that third-party tags collect sensitive or private information regularly.
Employees lack fundamental security awareness
Many executives are concerned about their employees' level of cyber risk awareness, with a new survey showing that 70 percent believe their employees lack critical cybersecurity knowledge, up from 56 percent in 2023.
The study, of 1,850 executives across 29 countries, from Fortinet also shows that over 60 percent of respondents expect more employees to fall victim to attacks in which cybercriminals use AI.
Majority of SaaS applications and AI tools are unmanaged
A new report reveals that 90 percent of SaaS applications and 91 percent of AI tools within enterprises remain unmanaged, suggesting a widespread vulnerability that continues to grow.
The study from Grip Security highlights the limitations of traditional security strategies in combating 'SaaS risk creep' the number of SaaS applications used in an enterprise increased by 40 percent over the last two years.
