Despite repeated predictions of its demise, the password isn’t going anywhere. Even as biometrics and passkeys slowly gain traction, passwords remain the first line of defense for most digital systems. As World Password Day reminds us each year, securing access to our digital lives is more urgent than ever—but experts agree that strong passwords are just one part of the equation. The post World Password Day: Why Strong Passwords Still Matter – and Why They’re Not Enough appeared first on Cyber Protection Magazine.

Critical infrastructure is increasingly becoming a prime target for cybercriminals and state-sponsored attackers. To defend against the growing number of attacks, CI operators require a multi-layered security approach that effectively strengthens their cyber resilience.

Encryption became a hot topic in the news in the past month. The United Kingdom, Sweden, France and the EU are considering requiring “back doors” to encryption protections. The “Signalgate” scandal in Washington, DC started most people asking, “What is this encryption stuff?” So we decided to provide a primer on the state of encryption today. While the technology behind encryption is complex, it is not new. The basic algorithms have been with us for decades, silently running on devices and servers, invisible to the user. The purpose is basic: to keep data safe from prying eyes, like criminals and nation states. Encryption is also a good way of saving money and not just in avoiding ransoms. Insurance companies often offer up to 15% premium discounts to businesses demonstrating strong security practices, including proper data encryption. Encryption significantly reduces the risk of data breaches and their associated costs. The post An encryption primer: Don’t wait appeared first on Cyber Protection Magazine.

As quickly as the artificial intelligence (AI) industry appeared, it may disappear just as quickly. That may have significant ramifications for cybersecurity, according to industry watchers, as the technology falls into the trough of disillusionment. When OpenAI burst on the scene more than two years ago, Microsoft was a significant instigator in its growth and adoption. Microsoft invested billions in the not-for-profit enterprise for early access to cutting-edge AI technologies and helping accelerate OpenAI’s research. It transformed its Azure cloud platform into a leading infrastructure provider for AI development, offering specialized hardware (like GPUs and TPUs) and services tailored for machine learning workloads. AI capabilities were embedded across its product suite, and Microsoft Research contributed significantly to AI advancement in computer vision, natural language processing, and deep learning. All of that came with extreme demands on computing resources. Microsoft began a buying spree in data centers, both to secure resources and build new centers. They even entered into a deal to reopen the notorious Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. Spree ends That has all come to an end. As reported in Bloomberg last week, the company decided to scale back data center projects in the UK, Australia, and Indonesia. Data center development in Illinois, North Dakota, and Wisconsin is also canceled. All tolled, Microsoft has walked away from more than 2GW. That’s on top of the news that Microsoft had walked away from two data center projects in the US and Europe, piling on to a February announcement that it was canceling data center leases.
