Every year, the statistics on cyber-attacks seem to get spookier, according to Chuck Brooks, President of Brooks Consulting International.  “As we finish October’s Cybersecurity Awareness month, it is a suitable time to review some of the key statistics and trends that can haunt us and help us meet the cybersecurity challenges of the evolving digital ecosystem.  There are so many frightening cyber stats that I had room for only a few categories, but they are important ones to know.”

The 2024 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their fundamental discoveries in machine learning, which paved the way for how artificial intelligence is used today.

Hopfield, a professor at Princeton University and Hinton, a computer scientist at the University of Toronto, were praised for laying the foundations for the machine learning that powers many of today’s AI-based products and applications.  Hinton, however, has also expressed fears about AI’s

Cyber security is undergoing a massive transformation, with Artificial intelligence (AI) at the forefront of this change, posing both a threat and an opportunity.  AI can potentially empower organizations to defeat cyberattacks at machine speed and drive innovation and efficiency in threat detection, hunting, and incident response.  Adversaries can use AI as part of their exploits.  It is never been more critical for us to design, deploy, and use AI securely.

Future Shock was a book from the 1970’s that referenced what happens when people are no longer able to cope with the pace of change.  Whether you have noticed it or not, artificial intelligence (AI) is currently impacting every industry and almost every aspect of life.  AI-powered tools can now create legal documents, write reports and even teach you about a specific topic from a simple text prompt.   AI is even being used to assist with fraud detection, diagnose diseases and help with ensuring

Accountants may remember this phrase, “Figures do not lie, but liars’ figure.”  After questioning some data results, people later were informed that when, the answer given was, “This is what the computer results showed.”  As business people, there is a new “Expert” on its way and arguing with it may be useless.

In June 2022, Microsoft released the Microsoft Responsible Ai Standard, v2.[1]  Its stated purpose is to “define product development requirements for responsible Ai.”  Perhaps surprisingl

Are hackers better at using AI than defenders?  “There are three parts of any security strategy. You want to be able to detect, to prevent, and to respond,” says the Global Chief Technology Officer of Dell Technologies.  “It turns out that in the 'detect' area, we are well underway.  If you are using a security event information-management service or managed-security service provider, and they are not already using high degrees of advanced machine intelligence to detect threats, you already lost

A US Pentagon official recently said he resigned his post because US cybersecurity is allegedly no match for China, calling it 'kindergarten level.'  This senior cybersecurity official Nicholas Chaillan said he quit because he thought it was impossible for the US to compete with China on artificial intelligence (AI). He joined the US Air Force as its first chief software officer in August 2018 and worked to equip this branch and the Pentagon with the most secure and advanced software available.
