Phishing scams continue to pose a significant risk as cybercriminals adopt more advanced methods. With phishing kits and artificial intelligence (AI) tools like ChatGPT becoming widely available, it’s easier than ever for cybercriminals to create targeted campaigns, manipulate users, and obtain personal information, according to Zscaler’s newly released 2023 ThreatLabz Phishing Report.
Earlier this year, the World Economic Forum (WEF) reported that there is a widening skills gap in cybersecurity. The article cites that in 2022, ISC found that 3.4M more skilled cybersecurity professionals are needed globally, which is more than 2x the gap in 2019.
Many of the job functions within IT operations that have operated in silos have, over time, been converged with other functions where it makes sense. This is particularly the case with changes brought on due to the hybrid work model. For example, in the past, network engineering and telecom eventually came together, as did storage and server operations.
GPU market leader NVIDIA recently held its virtual GPU Technology Conference (GTC). The show is loaded with product updates on how accelerated computing and artificial intelligence (AI) can change the way we work, live, and are entertained. Much of the historical GTC content has been geared toward the early adopters of AI, including healthcare, gaming, media and entertainment, and science and research.
The most recent Mobile World Congress (MWC) took place at the end of February. The main theme of the show has been and continues to be telco transformation for the better part of the last decade. This is obviously a very broad term and encompasses many aspects, including the shift to cloud native, the rise of 5G, and more.
