new Of course, digital protection measures such as antivirus software, secure gateways, firewalls, and virtual private networks (VPNs) remain crucial. And, incorporating advanced digital strategies such as machine learning to monitor for behavioural anomalies, provides an added layer of security. Leadership teams should also assess whether similar approaches have been applied to address any physical vulnerabilities. For example, a combination of manned entry points, locked facilities, cameras, and security alarms offers robust protection. It’s unlikely that a physical intrusion will occur simply to steal a laptop. Instead, these malicious actors commonly look for a way to access data or install malware inside the organisation’s physical perimeter where some protections may be lacking. — IT Brief New Zealand, 9h ago

new Business units seeking new technological solutions may not have the necessary visibility beyond their individual spans of control to consider factors like data security and the flow of sensitive information between multiple different cloud-based tools. But the CISO, occupying a transversal role within the organization, is well-positioned to anticipate these issues and to guide digital transformation strategy along a secure implementation path that both their customers and internal stakeholders expect. It's crucial for a CISO to influence the controls that need to be implemented, setting the tone throughout the organization and cultivating a robust security culture. — darkreading.com, 19h ago

new Consider the example of a financial service organization. Banks often deal with sensitive data, such as Social Security and credit card numbers, that can't be exposed to the Internet. In these cases, agentless security can be applied to safeguard sensitive data while also helping security teams understand the context and linked risks. At the same time, the organization can also leverage agent-based security to better detect and respond to ongoing and future attacks with real-time alerts about brute force attacks or data filtrations, such as a malware campaign. An organization's DevOps security team can further shift security left and integrate malware-scanning features into the DevOps stages to achieve code-to-cloud protection. — darkreading.com, 19h ago

new ...“A lot of vehicle security vendors are working closer with manufacturers as well as various suppliers to ensure their code and the components themselves are built securely from the group up. During a discussion I had recently with one of these vendors, they’re even looking to use technology like digital twins to maintain a virtual simulation of these components and even ‘completed’ vehicles, so that when new vulnerabilities are discovered in code, they can see what impact this would truly have on operations, plan on how they’re going to address this, and then look at the changes caused by deploying patches and updates.” Harrington explains as he looks at some bright spots ahead. — DATAQUEST, 2d ago

new Through strengthened AIOps capabilities, large volumes of data can be ingested, multiple sources of data integrated, and events correlated, to detect and resolve anomalies to support more efficient IT systems. These capabilities play a pivotal role in improving key performance metrics in IT Incident Management such as Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR). Virtusa’s overarching objective eventually is to develop assets and an AIOps framework that will pave the way for predictable, resilient systems, a key component in promoting the concept of reliability engineering.

new Advancements in biometrics, smartphones, and document recognition have been game-changers for balancing security and convenience. More and more, banks will be able to build filters that make it harder for bad actors while easier for good ones. It's important to have the latest and best technology possible making sure that hurdles aren't the same height for good actors and bad actors. For instance, bots armed with AI can breeze through knowledge questions and form fills. However, biometric tech makes it simple for real people to snap ID photos but extremely tough for bots. With the right innovations, complexity can be removed for consumers while scrutinizing bad actors more effectively. The ideal system has just enough friction to deter fraud without frustrating users. By leveraging cutting-edge solutions, banks can eliminate hassles while enhancing security. — Financial IT, 2d ago

new In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in the UK. Yet, organisations increasingly recognise that fraud is a security issue rather than a cost of doing business. Many UK players, especially in the financial services industry, will be looking to adopt end-to-end online fraud prevention solutions, counting on multi-layered tools and technologies. One key development to watch within these ‘layers of defence’ is the addition of so-called risk signals. Leading digital identity experts have already started to incorporate more behavioural biometrics, such as typing patterns or mouse movements. These patterns from historic interactions with users will start to impact fraud prevention positively, with device signals or template signals of fraudulent ID documents making it much harder for fraudsters to get away with their crimes. — Financial IT, 2d ago

new ...“In coming years, the citizen will use the Internet to build a relationship with government that is personal, custom-built for each user with features that are accessible. Digital government will be easy to use, consistent in its appearance and functionality, offer a complete selection of services that are unified across agencies, and available around the clock. Citizens will be aware of their rights to privacy and able to control governmental use of their personal information.”Current NASCIO President and Tennessee CIO Stephanie Dedmon set out to assess progress against the goals outlined in that paper, publishing a companion report this year. It points to a catalog of citizen-facing digital accomplishments recognized by NASCIO in the intervening years, including Tennessee’s MyTN App, which offers users more than 60 services from many different departments accessible with single sign-on. The updated report also includes evidence of how the personalized, user-focused, cyber- and privacy-aware aspirations have matured in the real world, creating new challenges along the way. The larger goals of effective technology that is focused on the user, however, remain largely the same.A recent report from KPMG, Tomorrow’s Government Today, surveyed residents and government leaders at the state and federal levels, acknowledging some of the challenges ahead for CIOs.

new Analyzing data in motion, as opposed to traditional scanning of known databases, enables Flow’s GenAI DLP to discover shadow data and proactively identify anomalies in real-time, regardless of where the data is located. For data-centric organizations this capability is critical to prevent violations and breaches that could lead to fines and be damaging to their reputation. In testing, Flow’s GenAI DLP uncovered undetected data leakages despite seemingly robust infrastructure protection. In a test focusing on healthcare organizations where GenAI was used to classify patient data to gain insights into disease patterns and treatment effectiveness, Flow’s GenAI DLP quickly identified sensitive PHI data at risk that would have led to a HIPAA violation if it had continued to go unnoticed. In another test for telecom providers, GenAI was used to optimize customer services by analyzing chatbot interactions for potential risk, and once again, Flow’s GenAI DLP identified sensitive financial data leaks, thereby avoiding the potential repercussions. — CoinGenius, 2d ago

new Steve Lay of Strata Identity bridges the gap between legacy apps and modern protocols for a true passwordless authentication experience. Passwords have been a fact of life for 60 years now, ever since MIT came up with the idea of letting multiple people share a computer by verifying a user’s identity first. But as the password nears retirement age, organizations are struggling to make passwordless authentication a reality. Eliminating passwords is being driven by the need to reduce friction, but more importantly, to implement stronger security controls such as biometrics like fingerprints, facial recognition, and passkeys that are linked to a user’s device. However, one of the challenges standing in the way of the migration away from passwords is supporting these new authentication methods on both legacy and modern platforms. In fact, almost half the IT decision-makers in a recent poll said their organizations have yet to adopt passwordless authentication because their applications are not designed to support it. — Best Identity Access Management (IAM) Software, Tools, Vendors, Solutions, & Services, 2d ago

new Programs like the one at York could also help with Canada’s tech labour shortage. According to Equinix’s Global Tech Trends Survey, 70 per cent of Canadian information technology companies view a shortage of personnel with IT skills as a main threat to their businesses. The university worked with senior technology experts from 15 businesses, companies, public sector organizations and industry associations who advised on a set of “occupational standards” to determine what an “ideal graduate” would look like, said Dr. Hornsey. The businesses include homegrown unicorn Shopify, Toronto-based data solutions company Cinchy, and American and international subsidiaries such as EY Canada, General Motors Canada and IBM Canada. “[The group’s] direct influence on the coursework is not very high,” said Dr. Hornsey. “[They] were more focused on the goals of the program.”... — University Affairs, 2d ago
