How emerging tech is rewriting the rules of data security

Data breaches are an unfortunate norm in today’s digital world, and traditional encryption techniques are no longer enough to prevent them. In addition, as businesses become more data-driven and regulations tighten, the pressure is on to rethink how we secure sensitive information, not just during storage but also throughout its entire life cycle.

The Ups and Downs of Facial Recognition Technology

Facial recognition technology offers a convenient and secure method for identity verification.

What is facial recognition technology?

This biometric system identifies or verifies a person’s identity using their facial features. It captures an image of a face, analyzing its unique characteristics, and comparing it to a database of known faces.

Can Cyber Hygiene Fend Off AI-Driven Cyberattacks?

As artificial intelligence has become commonplace, its rise has brought both opportunities and challenges. While AI enhances various aspects of our lives, it also introduces new threats in the realm of cybersecurity.

AI-driven cyberattacks have become increasingly sophisticated, thereby making it essential that we all adopt robust security measures. One of the most effective ways to defend against these threats is through basic cyber hygiene.

How AI Empowers Spear-Phishing

Phishing scams are the most common origin of data breaches. Threat actors convince their victims to send money or private information, usually spurred by false promises, threats, and forming a more personal relationship.

A major targeted and dangerous version of phishing is spear-phishing. Unlike generic phishing, which casts a wide net, spear-phishing targets specific individuals by using personal details to make scam messages more believable. With the advent of AI, these attacks have become even more efficient and dangerous.
