Think 5G security right now, it cannot be an afterthought

February 19, 2019 | 80 views

The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has moved front and center into the top management structure of communications service providers (CSPs). For good reason. Their work is vital for the business success of every CSP, not merely a background function to be ticked off as completed. CISO teams keep their company’s data safe, useful and accessible. They also protect customer data from any threat, at any time. These are heavy responsibilities in an age when security breaches hit the headlines and the resulting financial and reputational repercussions can be huge. CISOs – you have my total respect!

How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Businesses

Article | July 13, 2022

Whilst there are many people that associate AI with sci-fi novels and films, its reputation as an antagonist to fictional dystopic worlds is now becoming a thing of the past, as the technology becomes more and more integrated into our everyday lives. AI technologies have become increasingly more present in our daily lives, not just with Alexa’s in the home, but also throughout businesses everywhere, disrupting a variety of different industries with often tremendous results. The technology has helped to streamline even the most mundane of tasks whilst having a breath-taking impact on a company’s efficiency and productivity

The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | July 11, 2022

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

Chrome to gradually block insecure downloads on HTTPS page

9to5Google | February 06, 2020

Chrome 80 this week began efforts to make sure secure pages serve HTTPS audio and video. Google now wants to protect users from insecure files by gradually blocking mixed content downloads. Non-HTTPS downloads started on secure pages are a “risk to users’ security and privacy,” with Google citing how “insecurely-downloaded programs can be swapped out for malware by attackers, and eavesdroppers can read users’ insecurely-downloaded bank statements.” At the moment, the browser provides no indication of insecure downloads started on HTTPS pages. Chrome 82 in April will provide such a warning, starting with executables like APKs and EXEs. Appearing in the downloads bar, Google will note when a file “can’t be downloaded securely.”

Google details ‘Biometric API’ for Android which enables Pixel 4’s face unlock

9to5Google | October 31, 2019

Biometric authentication has been a part of Android for a few years at this point, but times are changing and so is the way we log into our phones. Face unlock is the next big thing, and Google is urging developers to add support for the “Biometric API” for Android which makes biometrics better for everyone. In a blog post targeted at developers, Google explains why it shifted over to this new API as well as detailing how developers can shift over to it. Back in Android Marshmallow, Google introduced support for fingerprint sensors with the “FingerprintManager” class, but it was a very basic solution. Developers had to create their own UI for fingerprints and it only supported fingerprints. Things started changing in Android Pie when “BiometricPrompt” was added. It delivered a common design that developers could use which also worked across more types of biometric authentication. Now, with Android 10, Google is making further changes with the “Biometric API.” The company explains.
