Alongside this it has launched some new free generative AI educational courses and content to help developers and IT practitioners build their AI and open source skills. We spoke with Savio Rodrigues, vice president, ecosystem engineering and developer advocacy at IBM to learn more.
How the use of mobile devices is changing the cybersecurity landscape [Q&A]
As consumers and businesses undergo a sea change shift towards mobile interfaces, embracing everything from retail to human resources management, the landscape of mobile security is experiencing a parallel transformation.
With this surge in reliance on mobile devices, threats have become more sophisticated, spanning network vulnerabilities, the proliferation of malware, and the craftiness of phishing schemes.
Why use of Apple devices is growing in the enterprise [Q&A]
The use of Apple devices in the enterprise has increased in recent years. But what's behind this trend and how much impact is it having?
We spoke to Weldon Dodd, SVP of community at Apple device management and security specialist Kandji, to discover how Apple has become a strategic choice for businesses, leading to increased employee productivity and even additional revenue opportunities.
The evolving roles of the CIO and CISO [Q&A]
The relationship between an organization's chief information officer (CIO) and chief information security officer (CISO) has traditionally been somewhat at odds, since CIO's job is built around sharing information and the CISO's job is to secure it. Plus, the CIO was normally higher in the organizational hierarchy, which could also cause some tension.
But the relationship has evolved in recent years, to the point where the two positions are often more on par with each other. And with security's growing importance to the business (and the boardroom), the two jobs often share the same goals and responsibilities.
How to prepare for the new PCI DSS 4.0 requirements [Q&A]
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) turns 20 next year and has remained largely unchanged during that time. But version 4.0, due to become mandatory from April 2024, will bring the standard bang up-to-date and usher in a number of big changes.
We spoke to Phil Robinson, principal consultant and QSA at Prism Infosec, to explore what's changing and how organizations can prepare to meet the new requirements.
Unlocking business potential through outcome-based security [Q&A]
Traditionally, organizations have focused on measuring the results of their cyber security strategies in terms of threat events or security incidents to determine how effective their security controls are.
However, in today's fast-paced world, the real game-changer is aligning security outcomes with business objectives and this is where 'outcome-based security' plays a huge role. It's a shift in focus for organizations, but one which can empower security teams to add even greater value to the strategic goals of the business.
What enterprises need to know about cybersecurity compliance [Q&A]
Just as cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving, so are the compliance regulations that organizations must follow. And as these regulations tighten so the risks of non-compliance become higher.
Cam Roberson, VP at Beachhead Solutions, a provider of cloud-managed PC and mobile device encryption, security, and data access control, sat down with us to discuss what enterprises need to know about the current state of cybersecurity compliance.
Why cyber risk assessment is critical to staying ahead of threats [Q&A]
The cybersecurity landscape is changing all the time and security teams are constantly searching for anything that can give them an edge in defending their systems.
We spoke to Rajeev Gupta, co-founder and chief product officer at insurance specialist Cowbell Cyber, about cyber risk assessment and how it can help businesses understand their level of risk and improve it to stay ahead of bad actors and threats like phishing attempts.
Improving data analysis with AI [Q&A]
Generative AI is making its presence felt in more and more areas, but there are well-founded concerns about the accuracy of information that it provides.
Is it possible to provide the convenience of a large language model AI system, with the logic and accuracy of advanced analytics? Arina Curtis, CEO and co-founder of DataGPT, thinks so. We spoke to her to find out more.
Improving visibility into end-user computing [Q&A]
In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic we've seen greater focus on workplace flexibility with many employees being in the office for fewer days each week.
But to make this work, enterprises must be able to track the state of their end-user computing to understand their access, performance and user satisfaction.
The ERP challenges that are keeping security teams up at night [Q&A]
Data is the lifeblood of modern business and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are where it's likely to live. ERP software integrates data and business functions across departments like finance, manufacturing, marketing, sales and more, and of course this makes it an attractive target for cyber criminals.
So what threats do ERP systems face and what can enterprises do to defend against them? We spoke to Kellie Synder, CCO of Onapsis, to find out.
How AI is changing the way developers work [Q&A]
The fear of software developers losing their jobs to AI is a concern for many people in the industry, but are these fears really justified?
Mike Loukides, VP of emerging tech content at O'Reilly Media, believes that AI can enhance the developer role rather than replace it. We spoke to him to find out how, with the right tools and training, the endpoint of this AI revolution won't lead to unemployment, but rather to better software.
How AI is changing the telecoms industry [Q&A]
The transition to cloud and SaaS use, along with the recent move towards remote and hybrid working, has placed increased pressure on the telecoms industry. At the same time, it has unlocked a significant opportunity for telcos, as remote work has placed a premium on services like fiber and broadband.
Increased data volumes place additional demands on infrastructure and drives up costs. We talked to Anthony Behan, managing director for communications, media and entertainment at Cloudera to discuss these developments and how artificial intelligence is helping telcos to adapt.
Why identity security could be the Achilles heel of your business [Q&A]
Most successful cyberattacks rely on compromised identity or social engineering. Yet this can be a major blindspot for enterprises with basic awareness of the problem lacking and a growing number of personal devices used for work.
We spoke to Jim Taylor, chief product officer of identity platform RSA, -- which recently published a report on the issue -- to learn more about the problem and how it can be addressed.
Making cybersecurity elementary [Q&A]
There are so many terms and acronyms used in the cybersecurity sector that it can be a little overwhelming at times, even for people who work in the industry.
Paul Baird, director of cyber security operations and engineering at Advanced Software and fellow at the Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec) has produced a round up of all the terms that you might ever need to know in the security space in a format based on the periodic table of elements.
