TOP 5 REASONS TO PUT PRIVILEGE FIRST

July 20, 2020

Privileged access is the gateway to an organization’s most valuable assets and is at the core of nearly every major security breach. Organizations must have a strategy in place to manage and monitor privileged access, as well as detect and respond to threats if they’d like to mitigate risk from today’s advanced attacks. Your application stack and infrastructure is likely quite complex and it can be hard to identify which assets are the most sensitive. And there is a never-ending supply of vendors knocking down your door competing for your time and attention. These two realities make it increasingly difficult to identify which security project to tackle next. When thinking about how to prioritize, it is advantageous to take a step back and think about your businesses goals, albeit in a slightly different way: try to envision what you would be looking for if you were an external attacker or malicious insider looking to steal sensitive data, commit Ransomware, or use your infrastructure for illicit cryptomining.

Machine Learning on Arm Cortex-M Microcontrollers

whitePaper | January 20, 2022

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are moving to the IoT edge due to various considerations such as latency, power consumption, cost, network bandwidth, reliability, privacy and security. Hence, there is an increasing interest in developing neural network (NN) solutions to deploy them on low-power edge devices such as the Arm Cortex-M microcontroller systems. To enable that, we present CMSIS-NN, an open-source library of optimized software kernels that maximize the NN performance on Cortex-M cores with minimal memory footprint overhead. We further present methods for NN architecture exploration, using image classification on CIFAR-10 dataset as an example, to develop models that fit on such constrained devices.

China’s Advanced AI Research

whitePaper | July 29, 2022

China is following a national strategy to lead the world in artificial intelligence by 2030, including by pursuing “general AI” that can act autonomously in novel circumstances. Open-source research identifies 30 Chinese institutions engaged in one or more of this project‘s aspects, including machine learning, brain-inspired AI, and brain-computer interfaces. This report previews a CSET pilot program that will track China’s progress and provide timely alerts.

Configure Application Insights Alert on Microsoft Teams

AI Act: Risk Classification of AI Systems from a Practical Perspective

whitePaper | March 22, 2023

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a part of our everyday lives, whether at home, in industry or in the public sector. The technology poses risks, but also opens up new opportunities. This presents the institutions in Brussels with the challenge of finding a balance between innovation and regulation for AI in the EU.

AI for the Masses

whitePaper | October 13, 2022

Walk into any Fortune 500 organization, and you’re more than likely to find a room full of data scientists. These individuals are being described by many as the difference makers, the propagators of change, the fuel to the fire of innovation, and the essential ingredient to survival in today’s digital economy. Data scientist job openings are among the hardest positions to fill in the market, yet they are among the highest paying jobs at many companies.
