The threat landscape has evolved a lot over the past few years as cybercriminals become more and more sophisticated. This has forced change within the industry and blurred the lines between the previous separate data protection and security strategies.

We spoke to Jason Gerrard, senior director of international systems engineering at Commvault, to find out more about why this is happening and what it means for the future of the data protection and cybersecurity industries.

I’ve led security functions and established cybersecurity board reporting processes for over 25 years. The relationship between CEOs and CISOs has always held contradictions and the decisions around when to disclose a breach have always been hard. But the recent developments involving the SEC and SolarWinds is a regulatory game-changer for the CISO community. Still, I think we’ll all ultimately come out OK from this if we behave ethically.

New ethical lines are being drawn very quickly and publicly as teams figure out the lines between good judgment and fraud. I have no intention of moralizing here about the SEC’s allegations against SolarWinds and their CISO. Rather, I’d like to shine a light on the underlying principles of disclosure that have served as my own ethical compass, and which I think remain unchanged.

About a month ago, Fedora announced their collaboration with Slimbook, launching the Fedora Slimbook 16 laptop. This partnership marked a significant step towards bringing Fedora Linux preinstalled on more devices. The response from the Linux community was overwhelmingly positive. Building on this success, the two parties are expanding their partnership.

Recognizing the demand for a more compact option, Fedora and Slimbook are now introducing the Fedora Slimbook 14 (available here now). This new model addresses feedback from users who found the 16-inch model a bit too large or had reservations about the Nvidia card. The 14-inch model maintains the distinct Fedora branding, ensuring that your love for Fedora is prominently displayed.

Most digital transformations fail. As a global entrepreneur and former software implementation consultant for Fortune 500 companies, I know that a digital initiative doesn’t end after a platform goes live. Digital change has a huge impact on our employees, who interact with about 13 applications 30 times per day to be successful in their jobs.

When trying to get employees to embrace new technology and tools, leaders say their biggest challenge is hard-to-use applications with a high learning curve (68 percent). It is, therefore, not surprising that many employees’ responses to digital transformation follow a process similar to the Kubler-Ross Stages of Grief. In the context of software adoption, we can think of this in terms of the associated Kubler-Ross Change Curve.

With the rapid proliferation of Generative AI (GenAI), developers are increasingly integrating tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Bard, and Claude into their workflows. According to OpenAI, over 80 percent of Fortune 500 companies are already using GenAI tools to some extent, whilst a separate report shows that 83 percent of developers are using AI-tools to speed up coding.

However, this enthusiasm for GenAI needs to be balanced with a note of caution as it also brings a wave of security challenges that are easily overlooked. For many organizations, the rapid adoption of these tools has outpaced the enterprise's understanding of their inherent security vulnerabilities. This would yield a set of blocking policies for example, Italy had at one point this year completely blocked usage of GPT, which is never the answer.

This misalignment could not only compromise an organization’s data integrity but also impact its overall cyber resilience. So, how should AppSec teams, developers, and business leaders respond to the security challenges that accompany the widespread use of GenAI?

True to TUXEDO's roots, the Pulse 14 is a Linux-lover's dream, shipping with full support, pre-installed drivers, and custom-developed software packages. And for those who walk the line between Linux and Windows, the Pulse 14 offers the flexibility of Windows 11 as well.
