X lets new users prove they're not a bot -- for a small fee
X -- the platform formerly known as Twitter -- is testing out a new 'Not A Bot' program that will allow users to pay a small annual fee to verify that they are in fact a real person.
Initially available only in New Zealand and the Philippines, it will require new and unverified users to verify their phone number and pay a nominal $1 per year in order to be able to post and interact with other posts.
Enterprises need to start planning now for post-quantum security
The power that quantum computing makes available offers benefits in many areas, but it also means cracking encryption becomes much easier, which poses an enormous threat to data and user security.
At its annual Trust Summit conference, DigiCert has released the results of a global study exploring how organizations are addressing the post-quantum computing threat and preparing for a safe post-quantum computing future.
Over half of cybersecurity pros say they want to switch jobs
A new survey of 900 full-time security decision-makers and practitioners around the world finds that 55 percent of respondents say they're likely to switch jobs in the next year.
The Voice of the SOC report, from secure workflow specialist Tines, shows that 63 percent of the security decision-makers and practitioners surveyed are experiencing burnout amid relentless cyberattacks, internal pressures, and limited resources.
Younger consumers more likely to take action on data privacy
A new study reveals that 42 percent of consumers aged 18-24 have inquired about the personal data organizations have about them, seven times more than consumers aged 75 or older (six percent).
The Cisco 2023 Consumer Privacy Survey also shows people are concerned about their privacy in regard to AI. 60 percent of consumers say they've lost trust in organizations due to their AI use.

Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Another year of challenging the 'inevitable'
Cybersecurity Awareness Month does precisely what its name suggests. It serves as a reminder of the sector's importance for businesses and consumers across the globe.
As we look back on yet another year where threats have continued to evolve, and the task at hand seems greater than ever -- it's important to take cognizance of the cyber-dangers out there and recognize our roles in the fight against 'hackers'.
Artificial intelligence is amazing -- but it won't integrate with your company on its own, you need a strategy
The enormous wave of public interest in AI is undoubtedly caused by how the results of machine learning were turned into a product bundle in the form of ChatGPT. A layman might come to the conclusion that artificial intelligence came out of the blue in 2022. Its success, however, lies in astronomically high investments in infrastructure and countless hours of human and machine labor at OpenAI. How can you make use of the currently available models in your company?
The more technical crowds have been talking about AI since the fifties, but it was first a mathematical concept -- this is where we get the famous Turing test from. Thanks to brilliant scientific work, research investments, and mass adoption of computer technology in the nineties, we are now experiencing what authors in the past used to write sci-fi novels about. One could think that AI is just a software achievement. However, advancements in miniaturization, increases in computing power, and reductions in the costs of obtaining hardware play a big role too. What would’ve cost hundreds of billions of dollars back in the day now sets you back "just" a couple of millions.
Bad bots try to be more human
Bad bots are designed perform various malicious activities. These range from basic scrapers that try to get some data off an application -- and are easily blocked -- to more advanced persistent bots that try to evade detection.
Barracuda researchers have been tracking bots for several years and have identified some interesting recent trends not least that, like King Louie in The Jungle Book, they 'wanna be like you'.
AI's future success depends on the success of its integration
While AI is taking the workplace by storm, this technology -- especially the AI-enabled smart and automated platform tools -- will not replace the role of employees in the workplace. Instead, AI will become more integrated into everyday workflows as a way to help employees do their jobs more effectively.
For example, generative AI is emerging as a tool that can help with content creation, such as sales pitches, email newsletters and, memos. In applications like this, the technology is already helping to provide users with a better day-to-day and overall experience, which positively contributes to adoption. This in turn has a direct impact on technology investment ROI at scale.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month turns 20! What are the biggest cybersecurity challenges currently facing organizations?
It’s the 20th anniversary of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and it’s safe to say a lot has changed in the cybersecurity industry since then. For example, just over the last year, we have seen the meteoric rise of generative AI and the huge impact it is already having on the cybersecurity industry.
Aaron Kiemele, CISO at Jamf, argues that now with the rise of generative AI, the threat posed by techniques such as phishing has completely changed: "With the advancements in large language models for machine learning, such as ChatGPT, cybercriminals are leveraging AI to automate attacks, analyze vast amounts of data, and craft more effective phishing emails or malware to achieve their nefarious ends. We can no longer rely on bad spelling or sketchy formatting."
Why governments need an effective access management strategy [Q&A]
Governments and data make for a complex relationship. In some cases, agencies are obligated to make information publicly accessible. In others, sensitive data is highly regulated and therefore needs to be protected to keep it out of the public domain.
With key information changing hands internally via various departments and externally via third parties, it's vital that government agencies can access systems and share data securely -- particularly given increases in cyberattacks.
