Durabook U11 rugged Windows 11 tablet gets 12th Gen Intel processor
Durabook has announced its rugged U11 Windows 11 tablet will now feature a 12th Generation Intel processor (Intel Core i7-1250U or i5-1230U). The U11's new CPU, an upgrade to Intel's Alder Lake platform, will substantially improve the device’s performance, offering up to 225 percent more speed than the previous 10th Gen CPU.
Additionally, the integration of the Coolfinity fanless thermal solution ensures the tablet operates silently while reducing downtime and repairs, thus increasing productivity. The addition of Intel Iris Xe Graphics propels the U11's computing capacity, capable of processing large volumes of data and video feeds in real-time.
Economic uncertainty drives digital transformation efforts
Enterprises plan to invest $33 million in digital transformation projects in the next 12 months, according to a survey of 600 senior IT decision makers.
But the research, from database platform Couchbase, also finds a shift in priorities. 78 percent of IT decision makers confirm their main priorities for transformation have changed in the last three years, and 54 percent say their digital transformation focus has become more reactive to market changes and customer preferences, in order to help the wider organization stay agile.
Only two percent of organizations feel confident in their cybersecurity strategies
While 75 percent of organizations have made significant strides to upgrade their infrastructure in the past year and 78 percent have increased their security budgets, only two percent of industry experts are confident in their security strategies, according to a new report.
The study, from critical infrastructure protection specialist OPSWAT, also finds most organizations have embraced public cloud hosting for their web applications, with an overwhelming 97 percent already employing or planning to implement containerization.
Hacking hybrid: Closing security gaps in a distributed workforce
When, where, and how we work has evolved. And in the past few years, the rise of flexible working patterns has helped improve employee wellbeing and created new opportunities to innovate. According to the Office of National Statistics, 44 percent of people in the UK work in a hybrid model -- making it almost as common as commuting to the office.
At the same time, these new freedoms have ushered in new priorities for security teams. Securing the enterprise is now more complex because the perimeter has become blurred. To address this, focus must be put on securing endpoints, such as PCs and printers -- the "ground zero" for most attacks. New cybersecurity strategies are needed to prevent, detect, and contain cyber-threats, but also enhance remote PC management to mitigate the risks associated with lost or stolen devices.
AI will outperform the average hacker in five years -- say hackers
The latest 'In the Mind of a Hacker' report from Bugcrowd, which includes responses from 1,000 white hat hackers across 85 countries, finds 55 percent saying that generative AI can already outperform hackers or will be able to do so within the next five years.
But despite this, hackers aren't especially worried about being replaced, with 72 percent saying that generative AI will not be able to replicate the creativity of human hackers.
Thunderbird 115 goes Supernova with brand new UI
It’s finally here. Mozilla has unveiled Thunderbird 115.0, a major new release of its open-source, cross-platform email client. The first major release since Thunderbird 102 debuted in late June 2022, Thunderbird 115 is dominated by one major new feature: A brand new user interface named Supernova.
The new Supernova user interface sees Thunderbird move away from its traditional two-pane layout with the option of a three-paned 'Vertical' layout, with the contents of the currently selected email displayed in a separate right-hand pane rather than below the message list.
Organizations lack visibility into malware attacks
While IT security leaders are concerned about attacks that use malware-exfiltrated authentication data, many still lack the necessary tools to investigate the security and organizational impact of these infections and effectively prevent follow-on attacks.
Research from cybercrime analytics company SpyCloud shows 98 percent of over 300 mid-market and enterprise IT security professionals from the US and UK surveyed say better visibility into at-risk applications would significantly improve their security posture.
Are collaboration tools opening up a backdoor into enterprises? [Q&A]
The pandemic changed the way we work, with more people working from home and fewer in the office. That meant we became much more reliant on tools like Slack and Teams in order to keep in touch with colleagues.
Even though some people are now going back to the office, reliance on these collaboration tools remains high. The dark side of this trend is that cybercriminals have noticed and are increasingly using them as vectors for phishing attacks.
Microsoft announces the general availability of its dev-focused, cloud-based Microsoft Dev Box
