The odds are against today's defenders Today the odds remain stacked against cybersecurity professionals. Too often, they fight an asymmetric battle against prolific, relentless and sophisticated attackers. To protect their organizations, defenders must respond to threats that are often hidden among noise. Compounding this challenge is a global shortage of skilled security professionals, leading to an estimated 3.4 million openings in the field. The volume and velocity of attacks requires us to continually create new technologies that can tip the scales in favor of defenders.

Consolidating their organization's tech stacks, defending budgets and reducing risk are three of the top challenges facing CISOs going into 2023. Identifying which security technologies deliver the most value and defining spending guardrails is imperative. Forrester's 2023 security and risk planning guide provides CISOs prescriptive guidance on which technologies to increase and defend their investments and which to consider paring back spending and investment.

There are three leading trends currently shaping the future of technology-based industries. At the nexus of these emergent areas of IoT, Cloud, and artificial intelligence is a new player on the Vancouver tech scene. Motorola Solutions, a leader in advanced security technology and a new addition to the realm, is looking for skilled tech talent to join its local team. "Motorola is a well-known name, but people often associate it with the consumer mobile phone company. That's not Motorola Solutions today, though," Hamish Dobson, vice president of product management at Motorola Solutions, tells Daily Hive.

Tina D'Agostin is CEO of Alcatraz AI, a leader in physical security technologies using facial authentication for autonomous access control. After a pandemic year, workplace safety is top of mind for many businesses. According to one survey, employee safety and well-being replaced pre-existing priorities, like attracting top talent, as the dominant concerns for business leaders. Meanwhile, many employees are dissatisfied with existing safety measures. A Gallup Poll found that just 65% of workers are "completely satisfied with their physical safety at work," the lowest point since 2001.

Our personal devices would know us more than we know ourselves. They might even increase our life span. That Artificial Intelligence (AI) will change the ways of the world in the 2020s is a foregone conclusion. Perhaps its greatest--and most defining--impact would be felt on personal devices and the way humans interact with them. 'Emotion AI' systems are becoming so nuanced and powerful that our devices will soon know more about our emotional being than our friends or family ever did.

Read about any new cybersecurity product today and the chances are that it will be keen to stress its use of AI in some form. But are we expecting too much from AI and are companies adopting it just because it's on trend? We spoke to Nadav Arbel, co-founder and CEO of managed SOC platform CYREBRO, to find out more about AI's role and why the human factor is still important. BN: Is the security industry placing too much faith in AI? NA: Many things from the virtual world are beginning to make significant impacts in the physical world. Artificial intelligence just made it possible for Virgin Galactic to kick off the commercialization of spaceflight, but a human is still at the helm.

Physical security is the protection of people, property, and physical assets from actions and events that could cause damage or loss. Though often overlooked in favor of cybersecurity, physical security is equally important. And, indeed, it has grown into a $30 billion industry. All the firewalls in the world can't help you if an attacker removes your storage media from the storage room. The growing sophistication of physical security through technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) means IT and physical security are becoming more closely connected, and as a result security teams need to be working together to secure both the physical and digital assets.

Cybercrime is growing, and as it grows, it becomes more costly and time-consuming to manage. At issue is the evolution of the threats and their techniques to attack systems and their defenses. In this article, we'll explore the use of machine learning algorithms in threat detection and management. As our lives become more digital, the data aggregated about us becomes at risk. Whether it's social media, commerce websites, IoT devices, or tracking data from our smartphones and web browsers, entities on the Internet know more about us than we can fathom.

After years of promises about a physical wall stretching along the United States-Mexico border, president Donald Trump declared a state of emergency last week in an attempt to secure wall funding in spite of Congressional opposition. But physical barriers alone have always been both ineffective and expensive. And the constant debate around that singular aspect has distracted from a much more pressing issue: how the US can expand its use of technology for screening and enforcement at the border without overstepping already strained privacy rights. Border security technologies, like surveillance drones and biometric identity schemes, received funding in Congress's most recent spending bill as an alternative to Trump's physical wall. But privacy advocates have long argued that a "smart wall," often called a "smart fence," can pose real threats to human rights not just at checkpoints and processing facilities, but for anyone within the 100-mile-wide "border zone" in which US Customs and Border Protection has jurisdiction. "The way that this debate has been weaponized has really shut down a big portion of the conversation that we should be having," says Evan Greer, deputy director of the digital rights group Fight for the Future.
