As the world becomes increasingly reliant on technology and driven by data, the excitement about artificial intelligence (AI) solutions continues to skyrocket. Corporate boardrooms are abuzz with discussions about exploring the possibilities of AI, and massive amounts of capital are being funneled into building AI infrastructure. Companies such Nvidia, Corestreet, and OpenAI are experiencing exponential revenue growth – and valuations, driven by this immense interest. However, one can’t help but wonder: how long can this…

An AI-powered data integration platform provider called K2view leverages machine learning for data discovery, schema matching, and data quality management. Their AI engine can automatically learn data structures and relationships, simplifying the integration process and minimising the need for manual configuration. AI-powered data integration solutions are particularly effective in handling complex, unstructured data sources, such as social media feeds, sensor data, and customer interactions. By applying natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision techniques, these…

Strengthening the security of open-source software has become a significant challenge for governments, given the informal and ubiquitous nature of this community. Yet this is a crucial component of the US government’s efforts to promote security by design across software more generally, thereby reducing vulnerability exploitation and supply chain incidents. The RSA Conference 2024 provided an opportunity for government officials and open-source software stakeholders to discuss how to advance secure by design principles in this…

As Tommy Lasorda said, “There are three types of baseball players: Those who make it happen, those who watch it happen and those who wonder what happens.” He could have been talking about the current state of IT leadership. Foundry’s 23rd annual State of the CIO survey found that leading change has become a clear mandate as organizations prepare for the next chapter, where the convergence of data, analytics, and emerging AI technologies wholly transform…

Authored by Yashvi Shah and Preksha Saxena AsyncRAT, also known as “Asynchronous Remote Access Trojan,” represents a highly sophisticated malware variant meticulously crafted to breach computer systems security and steal confidential data. McAfee Labs has recently uncovered a novel infection chain, shedding light on its potent lethality and the various security bypass mechanisms it employs. It utilizes a variety of file types, such as PowerShell, Windows Script File (WSF), VBScript (VBS), and others within a…

Read more about the NVD backlog of vulnerability analysis: The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) announced on May 8 that it was starting a new software vulnerability enrichment program called ‘Vulnrichment.’ This comes almost three months after the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), the world’s most comprehensive vulnerability database and operated by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), started facing challenges in vulnerability enrichment. According to its own data, NIST has…

As the use of AI explodes in sensitive sectors like infrastructure and national security, a team at Carnegie Mellon University is pioneering the field of AI security response. In the summer of 2023, researchers at the University’s Software Engineering Institute, the birthplace of the first Computer Emergency and Response Team (CERT), believed there was an urgent need to charter a new entity to lead research and development efforts to define incident response tactics, techniques, and…
