Seamless and smooth is the new mantra that every company is trying to achieve in their operation and client’s dealings. Healthcare services are adapting fast to this mantra, and the master card is the new revolution keeping the industry in sync with high user experience through the implementation of ID verification. It’s the digital age; almost everything in this world now operates with the help of AI and its different realms.
Bots now make up more than 43% of all internet traffic. It’s a growing problem — there are now almost twice as many bad bots as good bots. That’s why site administrators use programs like reCAPTCHA to block bots from accessing their websites, apps, and APIs. Bots aren’t a new problem. Back in 1950, Alan Turing created the Turing Test: a game designed to test a program’s ability to pass as a human.
If you’ve spent a lot of time on the internet, you’ve probably heard the term “doxing” before. You may know that it has something to do with online bullying, harassment, and crime, but still have questions about exactly what it means. If so, you’re not alone.

Independent school districts (ISDs) are the perfect target for cybercriminals because their networks are typically poorly secured. Many schools have inadequate security practices due to the lack of education, training, or funding. ISDs are publicly funded primary and secondary educational institutions, including elementary, middle, and high schools.
Open source libraries and frameworks are a great way to jump-start development projects. Open source empowers developers to do some great things without reinventing the wheel and developing solutions for problems that have already been solved. However, adding any code to a project carries an inherent risk of introducing potential vulnerabilities that may have made their way into it through error or malice.
Splunk SURGe recently released a whitepaper, blog and video that outline the encryption speeds of 10 different ransomware families. The outcome of this research was that it is unlikely that a defender will be able to do anything once the encryption has started. Ransomware today is also mostly “human-operated” where many systems are sought out and compromised before any encryption activities occur and, once they do, the encryption is just too fast to meaningfully affect the damage done.
Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR state that information must be provided where personal data has been obtained directly from a data subject, or where personal data has not been collected directly from the data subject, respectively.
Keeping up with ever-changing regulatory requirements for cybersecurity can prove difficult for many organizations, which may unknowingly become non-compliant if they fail to adapt to new laws and regulations. Healthcare organizations and financial services must be even more vigilant with compliance. Both sectors are subject to even stricter requirements due to the large quantities of personally identifiable information (PII) they manage.
