In the era of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies, organizations are increasingly implementing security measures to protect sensitive data and ensure regulatory compliance. Among these measures, AI-SPM (AI Security Posture Management) solutions have gained traction to secure AI pipelines, sensitive data assets, and the overall AI ecosystem. These solutions help organizations identify risks, control security policies, and protect data and algorithms critical to their operations. However, not all AI-SPM tools are created equal. When evaluating potential solution...
Cyber threats evolve as technologies and criminal opportunities advance, reshaping the way attackers operate. Nothing stays static. Recently, we have seen changes in the way ransomware cybercriminals operate that demand a reevaluation of defenses to reduce the risk of a damaging attack. Ransomware has undergone a decades-long transformation, starting with distribution via floppy disks and demands for payment via the mail, but only became a widespread threat once cryptocurrencies allowed for anonymous online payments. Since that time, it has matured, hitting corporate networks and government sy...
Nearly a decade ago, I tried and failed to convince the board of a company in midwestern Ohio of the need to invest in new threat intelligence tools, despite evidence of data egressing from the network to a likely state-sponsored attacker. Like many security leaders, I was not speaking the same language as the board. Every day, mission-critical projects are halted and new investments are vetoed because directors are not properly briefed on cyber risk or the massive costs of inaction. One of the key challenges in risk management is converting relevant technological risk data into a format and l...
By Richard D. Harroch and Dominique A. Harroch Inventions are the building blocks of civilization, shaping everything from our daily routines to the entire global economy. From the first stone tools created by our ancestors to the cutting-edge technologies driving innovation today, human creativity has consistently led to breakthroughs that improve lives and change the course of history. Some inventions have dramatically altered entire industries, while others have redefined our interaction with the world around us, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The following list highlights 15 of...
