The CISO's next priority isn't technology, it's building a great employee experience
In security, we are very used to talking about features and functions in the tools we use. When it comes to measuring the positive impact of what we spend on cyber, in terms of both people and equipment costs, we tend to be equally abstract -- for years, 'mean time to detection' and 'mean time to resolution' have probably been the two most widely-used metrics for cybersecurity progress, and measuring the number of security incidents handled is still probably how the CISO tracks his team’s contribution to the organization.
But no longer. Today we need to start thinking about measuring cyber’s impact in completely new ways -- or to be more accurate, concepts new to us in IT security but already very familiar to our colleagues in HR; with terms that seem very far from threat intelligence, such as wellbeing, inclusion and creating psychologically safe spaces.
ASRock beta firmware makes its motherboards the first to support Windows 11 Dynamic Lighting RGB controls
For anyone who is a fan of the bright and shiny, they can kit out their PC with a range of RGB lighting. Controlling RGB mice, keyboard and other device has long meant battling with a bewildering selection of third-party software, and this is something Microsoft aimed to simplify with the introduction of Dynamic Lighting in Windows 11.
The feature has been available since the release of Windows 11 23H2, and now ASRock has launched new beta firmware that adds Dynamic Lighting support to its motherboards.
AI-powered attacks, AI potential and tailored cloud -- healthcare tech predictions for 2024
Technologies like AI are set to impact on many industries but perhaps more than most on healthcare. This is also an industry that's uniquely attractive to hackers thanks to the mix of personal and scientific information that it holds.
So how will healthcare benefit -- or suffer -- from technology in 2024? here's what some experts with their fingers on the pulse think.
Authenticated content, improved technology and secretless access -- identity predictions for 2024
Despite moves towards other means of authentication passwords are still widely used, making protecting digital identities a problem.
But identity affects other areas too, such as being able to verify content and devices, things which are likely to come more more into focus as we approach significant elections in the US and UK. Here are some expert views on the identity landscape for 2024.
The future of legal roles in an AI-driven world
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) marks a significant turning point for the legal sector. Recent studies suggest a dramatic change is on the horizon, with up to 44 percent of tasks in law firms potentially being automated by AI. This impending transformation necessitates a re-evaluation of legal roles, requiring professionals to adapt and collaborate with AI while also preparing for the emergence of new positions.
AI promises to greatly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of legal services, from streamlining the creation of legal documents, contracts, and agreements to automating repetitive tasks, to ensure accuracy and uniformity. AI's capability extends beyond mere data extraction; it can rapidly summarize complex documents like depositions and complaints and transform text into actionable insights. This will empower legal professionals to better understand and manage legal obligations, which will significantly enhance client services.
Facing a riskier world: Get ahead of cyberattacks, rather than responding after the fact
Today’s complicated threat landscape leaves security teams grappling with new challenges on a scale never seen. Threat actors are more organized and efficient, leveraging a vast ecosystem of tools and services that cater to experts and beginners alike. In early March, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released an advisory warning of the resurgence of Royal ransomware with new compromise and encryption tactics used to target specific industries, including critical infrastructure, healthcare and education.
Cyberattacks are only increasing and growing more destructive, targeting supply chains, third-party software, and operational technology (OT). Gartner predicts that by 2025, threat actors will weaponize OT environments successfully to cause human casualties. This is happening at a time of increased technology adoption led by accelerated digital transformation efforts, hybrid work and the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) boom, leaving security teams to manage an evolving and growing attack surface and multiplying vulnerabilities.

Here is what some industry experts think the cybersecurity trends will be in the coming year.
Google gives Chrome security, performance and functionality updates, with the promise of AI-feature in 2024
Google is in the process of rolling out a trio of important updates to Chrome, kicking off with an improvement to Safety Check. This security feature will now run automatically in the background, allowing for proactive alerts about security issues that need attention.
Other updates include improvements to tab groups that makes it possible to access them on other computers, and enhancements to Memory Saver. But the company also hints at big plans for 2024, with the promise of "smarter and more helpful features" powered its Gemini AI model.
External attack surface management [Q&A]
The external attack surface -- those assets which face the internet -- is attracting a lot of attention at the moment, with Gartner naming it as a top security risk.
To find out more about external attack surface management (EASM) and why organizations need to take it seriously, we spoke to Rickard Carlsson, CEO of Detectify.
Windows Mixed Reality is the latest for the chop as Microsoft ditches VR in favor of AI
In a move that will -- or at least should -- surprise very few people, Microsoft has announced that it is dropping Windows Mixed Reality. It will be removed from a future release of Windows.
Having already apparently given up on its HoloLens range, Microsoft appears to have come to the same conclusion that many reached some time ago: VR and augmented reality were phases that people have simply lost interest in. With the company now heavily invested in AI, it will no doubt be hoping that this is something that remains popular for rather longer.
KIOXIA EXCERIA PLUS G2 2TB microSDXC card due early next year
KIOXIA has begun mass producing its 2 terabyte (TB) microSDXC memory card, marking a significant milestone in storage technology. This card is designed for smartphone users, content creators, and on-the-go gamers, providing them with unprecedented storage capacity and enhanced performance.
KIOXIA has achieved this remarkable feat thanks to its use of innovative BiCS FLASH 3D flash memory and a custom-designed controller. Despite the SD Association’s SDXC specification technically supporting up to 2TB memory cards for over a decade, KIOXIA’s success lies in its ability to stack sixteen 1 terabit dies of 3D flash memory, all while adhering to the specification’s maximum thickness of 0.8mm.
Why AI panic in 2023 will yield to AI pragmatism in 2024
2023 rapidly became 'The Year of AI Panic' as governments and the press entered into an AI frenzy.
Progress in Generative AI, spearheaded by GPT4’s release in March, offered users incredible tools with a visible utility and practical benefit. Its impact could be felt across their personal and business lives. From that point there has been a buzz around AI with a snowball effect across the media fueled by sudden engagement from the most senior levels of government across the planet. 2023 has seen the AI train fly across our screens, and the pace of developments from a technical, policy and regulatory perspective has been almost impossible to keep up with. So too has the FUD -- fear, uncertainty and doubt that accompanies disruption.
Faster problem solving, more investment and time travel attacks -- quantum predictions for 2024
