Security
When even the US Government concludes that to ensure baseline security practices are in place and to realize the security benefits of cloud-based infrastructure while mitigating associated risks, they must migrate to a zero-trust model, every organization should be actively moving in that direction.
The foundational tenet of the zero trust model is that no actor, system, network, or service operating outside or within the security perimeter is trusted. Instead, the organization must verify anything and everything attempting to establish access. The US Government's strategy boils down to these fundamental points that need to be satisfied to create a real zero-trust model:... ...?more
Managed service providers can help fill talent needs and tame costs, but that strategy may require additional risk mitigation.
Companies looking to fend off cybercriminals are turning to third-party firms to help thwart an expanding network of threat actors.
Cybersecurity spending, which encompasses services and products, is expected to grow by 10% to 15% over the next 12 to 18 months, but product spending over the same period will decline 10% to 15%, said Doug Saylors, a partner at research and advisory firm ISG...?more
As the definition of endpoints evolves, so too must the technology to protect them. Enter extended detection and response, or XDR -- one of cybersecurity's hottest acronyms.
XDR, which is short for extended detection and response, is one of the latest acronyms to rock the cybersecurity world. A descendent of endpoint detection and response, or EDR, its relatives include network detection and response, or NDR, and managed detection and response, or MDR, which has subsets of MEDR, MNDR and now MXDR ...?more

In a bid to avoid hours of postproduction VFX, Disney researchers have created a neural network that can do the work for them.
Remember when making actors look older or younger in movies was a huge deal? The amount of postproduction work to achieve realistic results was immense back in the day, but now, researchers from Disney have revealed FRAN, a new artificial intelligence tool that can convincingly age or de-age an actor in a fraction of the time. ...?more
From top artificial intelligence (AI) scientists warning that deep learning will push radiologists out of employment, to healthcare professionals heralding that AI will redefine the doctor-patient relationship, to tech executives promising that fully self-driving cars are just around the corner, AI has been marked with plenty of failed predictions in recent years.
Despite the remarkable advances in AI, it has yet to play its transformational role in many industries. However, when compared to other technological milestones such as the steam engine, electricity and the internal combustion engine, it is no surprise that AI adoption is slow....?more

New leaps in 3D printing technology make using unusual materials and shapes a reality for architects, pushing the envelope of what can be built, and how.
Great turning points in architecture begin in unexpected ways. A new and inexpensive production process to transform iron into steel made possible the rise of skyscrapers in the 20th century. When computer-aided design (CAD) replaced the work of manual drafting, it paved the way for the precisely mapped curves of the sculptural buildings by Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry...?more
Not just for artists and athletes, achieving 'flow' can help your brain - and you - do better work.
Flow has come to be known as a state of peak performance, but its origins lie not in optimization and productivity but in the study of happiness. The concept was first introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi - the godfather of flow - while conducting research in the 1960s and '70s on what makes people happy...?more
