Please tell us a little bit about your background and current position at Intezer. Before founding Intezer in 2015, I was head of the Israeli Defense Force’s CERT (Incident Response Team) where I dealt with nation-sponsored attacks on a daily basis. My duties included responding to these attacks, forensics, malware analysis and so on. What are today’s largest cybersecurity threats and what are the biggest challenges to identifying these threats before they attack?...

The survey, conducted by Zoho-owned ManageEngine, found that 41% of IT leaders report having been consulted inadequately or not at all in organizational decisions around hybrid working. For instance, the report found that non-IT departments have the final say when it comes to decisions around purchasing apps and IT software for the company (54%), facilitating IT audits (52%), purchasing devices (45%) and hiring tech talent (48%). Tech decision makers also feel unappreciated by senior company leadership in the transition to remote- and hybrid-working models: 81% of IT decision makers felt that they should have had more support from their employer over the past two years....

I’m still alright with that and roll along my way as best I can. So I confess I don’t leap on every male bandwagon, rousing the horses with a hee-haw and a giddyup. Also: Look what Boston Dynamics’ humanoid robot can do now But I do feel an urge to mention a particular class of male-oriented gadgets that I’ve resisted for perhaps too long – the personal shaving machine. I feel sure it’s a good idea....

After a short but expected delay, you’re invited to a Skype interview. You take a shower, put on your best shirt and tie, comb your hair, and prepare for the meeting. At the appointed time, you join the interview and speak for some time to Jennifer and Antonio. The interview goes well. Also: HTTPS threats grow more than 314% through 2021 You spend a day or so hoping that this will be the one....

You’ve likely been smiling at it, stroking it, and talking to it. You have to hope, however, that you never drop it in such a way that its screen breaks and you have to get it repaired. With the 13, this isn’t going to be a cheap affair. Review: iPhone 13 Pro is a trifecta of meaningful upgrades Perhaps you’ll be heartened, then, to discover a slightly different approach. This, from a carrier....

It may be time to focus on quality rather than just quantity. “There’s a very fundamental problem that a lot of AI faces,” said Andrew Ng, founder and CEO of Landing AI, a startup working to perfect the technology for industrial uses, in an interview with ZDNet this week. “A lot of AI is focused on maximizing the number of calories, which works up to a certain point,” he said....

The NASDAQ-listed company disclosed the incident in an 8-K filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, noting that part of its source code had been subject to unauthorized access, exposing user data. The report did not specify when the incident took place, but the firm said it has activated its security protocols and is “conducting an exhaustive analysis”. The company did not provide details about where exactly in Latin America the issue originated....

Guidelines for the creation of public policies relating to the technology are outlined in the proposal, as well as principles to be followed by private sector organizations in relation to the development of AI systems. The scope includes machine learning systems, including supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning platforms. The Brazilian project for a legal AI framework is inspired by the concepts and guidelines proposed in the recommendations on artificial intelligence by the Organization of States for Economic Development (OECD)....

The OLED panel in the LG C2 allows the TV to create billions of colors as well as true blacks and brighter whites. This means that detailing, color, and contrast are enhanced for more lifelike images, which is great for movie and TV show buffs as well as console gamers. Console gamers will also love the C2’s compatibility with both Nivida G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium VRR technology to help prevent annoying screen tearing and stuttering that can ruin your gaming session....

While I’ve always wanted a Mac Pro for bragging rights, it never really fit my usage profile. When the trash can Mac Pro came out in 2013, I chose a fully-equipped iMac instead (and wrote about why). In 2018, when the Mac mini was redesigned with the capacity for a generous amount of RAM and ports, I chose to buy it instead of waiting for the expected upcoming Mac Pro (and wrote about why)....

It’s not too often you hear about Magecart attacks. In the past few years, cybersecurity incidents that hit the headlines tended to involve attacks on core utilities and critical services, state-sponsored campaigns, ransomware, massive data breaches, and disruption on a broader scale than the issues that Magecart victims today often experience. However, this doesn’t mean that the problem has gone away, and we shouldn’t forget that it’s not only SMBs at risk: big brands have fallen prey to this type of cyberattack in the past, including British Airways, Newegg, and Ticketmaster....

Maine’s ‘Opt-In’ Privacy Law Maine’s privacy law, passed in 2019, is considered to be one of the most stringent and consumer-oriented in the United States, alongside others like the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act). What separates the two is the difference between consumer “opt-in” and “opt-out.” The new opt-in privacy law explicitly prohibits ISPs from using, disclosing, selling, and accessing customers’ personally identifiable information without their permission. Such information includes customers’ browsing history, application usage history, precise location, IP address information, financial information, information about a customer’s children, unique device identifiers, and more....

The “multi-faceted” partnership meant GrabPay would be the first non-bank e-wallet to be available as a payment option across McDonald’s network across the city-state as well as the McDelivery app and website, the two partners said in a joint statement Monday. The fast food chain operates 130 restaurants, 17 drive-throughs, 42 dessert kiosks, and 48 McCafé outlets in Singapore, where it serves more than 6 million customers each month. Grab’s app, which includes services such as deliveries, ride-sharing, and fintech, is available in more than 400 cities in eight Southeast Asian markets, including Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, and the Philippines....

Dubbed CoinStomp, the malware is compromised of shell scripts that “attempt to exploit cloud compute instances hosted by cloud service providers for the purpose of mining cryptocurrency,” according to Cado Security. The firm’s researchers say that the overall purpose of CoinStomp is to quietly compromise instances in order to harness computing power to illicit mine for cryptocurrency, a form of attack known as cryptojacking. A number of attack attempts have been focused, so far, on cloud service providers in Asia....

Also: Just how big is this new generative AI? Think internet-level disruption Image segmentation simply refers to an AI model that can identify different items in a photo. For example, in a photo of a box of fruit, using image segmentation, an AI model would be able to identify each individual fruit photographed and the box, as seen by the Meta demo. Meta’s Segment Anything project includes a new task, dataset, and model for image segmentation that aims to “democratize segmentation,” according to Meta....

Microsoft rolled back the block on macros with surprisingly little explanation given that the new default behavior in Office apps was aimed at cutting off a primary means for delivering malware in email attachments. Since April, key Office apps on Windows have, by default, made it much harder to run VBA macros that have been delivered from the internet. Previously, users could fairly easily click a button to enable macros, which attackers frequently exploited to trick them into downloading malware....

Good ideas are harder. But ideas that might go one way or the other seem to roll out of tech companies like barrels out of a pub cellar. The latest one that’s captivated me to a curious humming disharmony comes from Microsoft. It’s one that I’m sure has only the best of intentions, but it may turn toward pain, sorrow, and guttural ululation because life’s like that. Here’s the problem Microsoft’s engineers want to solve....

The program is meant to connect startups with mentors, provide startup-centric training, and provide access to a variety of Microsoft and third-party technologies at a discount. Microsoft is making benefits available at various points in the startups’ lifecycle, rather than just providing a lump-sum. “Microsoft’s previous startup initiatives, focused on cloud credits over a set timeframe, and on co-sell opportunities. While both are important for startups, Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub is a new approach which prioritizes helping founders where they need it most: Getting started,” said a company spokesperson when I asked for details about the adjustments Microsoft has made to its startup program....
