You can invest in the best security—high-tech surveillance, unbreakable locks, and AI-powered defenses—but if the foundation is weak, attackers will find a way in.

Rules and regulations put in place by businesses and service providers to improve safety often have the reverse effect. Now, upgrades suggested by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may make consumers’ lives easier while also increasing security.

  Picture a world where encryption is totally useless, your go-to software companies are accidentally spreading malware, and AI isn’t just there to defend against cyberattacks, but is actually being used to carry them out. Cybersecurity is changing fast, and the threats we deal with now are pretty complicated. In my last post, I dove into

Every company has to be extremely careful of the security of their data and infrastructure since the frequency and complexity of cyber attacks demand. Cybersecurity is no longer a topic of exclusive concern for security departments nowadays. It’s not only about protecting the network; it’s also about being extremely careful in preserving every element of
