This year’s RSAC Conference drew record numbers of nearly 44,000 attendees, 730 speakers, 650 exhibitors and 400 media members. And as one of those who attended and spoke with countless organizations, partners and CISO peers, I can safely say that practically every single person there had something to say about the use of or abuse of artificial intelligence (AI) in cyber security. We all expected AI to dominate the discussion. But we didn’t anticipate how deeply it would embed into every company update or overview, strategy session, customer conversation and even hallway and happy hour chats. As is often…

New research from EasyDMARC reveals that just 7.7 percent of the world’s top 1.8 million email domains are fully protected against phishing and spoofing, having implemented the most stringent DMARC policy. While this configuration, known as ‘p=reject’, actively blocks malicious emails from reaching inboxes, many businesses have only adopted the passive monitoring setting known as ‘p=none’, which passively monitors inboxes for threats without intercepting them. This means it doesn’t block fraudulent emails or provide full visibility into authentication failures. Mandates from Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft, along with frameworks like PCI DSS v4.0.1, have spurred a rush to adopt DMARC. But…
The Southeastern Conference is ratcheting up penalties on schools whose fans storm the field or rush the court, doing away with an escalating fine system and now charging $500,000 per incident.”The motivation was ‘field rushing is field rushing, the first time or the 18th time,’” commissioner Greg Sankey said Thursday in announcing the decision. “The random nature of, if you’re the one getting rushed, it doesn’t feel good. It might be the first time (it happened) there, but it might be your sixth time in a row, literally.”The conference also has the authority to wave the fine if the visiting…
