QuSecure Selected to Present on Quantum and AI at Mobile World Congress Las Vegas 2023

QuSecure, a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions provider, announced that it has been selected to present at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Las Vegas 2023 being held next week. Company Co-founder and Chief Product Officer (CPO) Rebecca Krauthamer will participate in a talk titled “Quantum and AI: A Powerful Partnership” at 11:30 am PDT on Sept. 28 on Stage B – W229, Level 2. The speaking event is described: With compute speeds nearly 158 million times faster than the most sophisticated supercomputer, quantum computing could process in four minutes a request that a traditional supercomputer would take 10,000 years to do. A recent report revealed that the global quantum computing market size was valued at around $457.9 million in 2021 and is projected to reach $5,274.9 million by 2030. Combine this incredibly powerful technology with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and we could unlock the infinite potential for solving societal and technological problems that are beyond the capabilities of our current understanding. This partnership could revolutionize tasks such as how we train AI effectively, how we detect and fraud and enhance data security, and how it could unlock unprecedented possibilities in fields such as healthcare and security.

PBAC: Why Policy-Based Access Control is the Future of Identity Management

Oren Ohayon Harel of PlainID argues why RBAC and ABAC are dead, and PBAC is the future of identity management. Passwords are the primary way through which bad actors access complex environments: a single password dump unrelated to your company can sow the seeds of your company’s demise. Given that fact, the standard identity management solutions that businesses have deployed over the years — primarily Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and, more recently Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) — can no longer be relied on for comprehensive protection. Only Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC) can grant businesses the flexibility and transparency needed to keep their assets out of the hands of bad actors.

Closing the Talent Gap: Technological Considerations for SOC Analyst Retention

Kayla Williams of DEVO presents three technological considerations to close the talent gap and retain SOC analysts. Two of the most common refrains among cybersecurity leaders are that there’s a major skills gap and that existing employees are burning out. According to ISC(2), there’s a global workforce gap of 3.4 million people in cybersecurity. Not only are there not enough people, but those who are working in cybersecurity are at high risk for burnout. This challenge is particularly prevalent when it comes to working in the security operations center (SOC). For security leaders, overcoming these twin challenges is key– but it will require an understanding of just how serious the burnout threat is and of the technology and processes required to mitigate that threat.

I Tricked AI, and I Liked It

Christian Taillon and Mike Manrod of Grand Canyon Education take us to school on the buzz, the applications, and the very real threat of AI in the cybersecurity space. The buzz around emerging capabilities related to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ChatGPT is like nothing I have experienced during my career in technology. I walk past a breakroom that I usually expect to buzz with enthusiasm about the latest sports team or sitcom gossip, and instead hear talk about ChatGPT, AI, and Large Language Models (LLMs)– and that is not even in the IT breakroom. It seems we all grew up with the fictional lore of robots and AI– ranging from fantastical utopian notions to doomsday scenarios where we watch in horror as our own creations conspire to destroy us. While it remains unclear if our creations will condemn or liberate us, it has become clear that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be a defining factor as this next chapter for humanity unfolds. In times of uncertainty, we often find ourselves looking for a crystal ball so that we can see the future, avoiding hazards and amassing a windfall by wagering on all the winners. Sadly, there is no crystal ball. There is a time capsule available, which can help us to gain some useful insights. Those of us who have been working in cybersecurity for a while, have already been through at least one AI craze, which started around a decade ago. This has served as a very effective hype-inoculation for experienced security practitioners, as we step back to think of what emerging technologies such as ChatGPT will disrupt, along with what aspects may be overhyped.
