Meta Llama 3, the latest iteration of Meta's groundbreaking open-source large language model, marks a significant leap forward in artificial intelligence. Focusing on innovation, scalability, and responsibility, it promises to redefine the landscape of language modeling and foster a thriving ecosystem of AI development.

In a move to harness the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) while mitigating associated risks, the Executive Office of the President has issued a landmark memorandum directing federal agencies to advance AI governance, innovation, and risk management. Spearheaded by Shalanda D. Young, the memorandum underscores the importance of responsible AI development in safeguarding the rights and safety of the public.

As we navigate through an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, the theme of RSAC 2024, “The Art of the Possible,” couldn’t be more apt. This year, Zenity, a trailblazer in securing and governing business productivity tools like Copilot for M365, Power Platform, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, highlighted the vast possibilities—and the associated risks—of democratized technology and software development.

Privilege escalation in AWS refers to the unauthorized elevation of user privileges within the AWS environment, allowing users to access resources and perform actions beyond their intended level of permissions. This security risk would arise in case the attackers utilize the vulnerabilities or misconfigurations in AWS services, IAM policies, or access controls to take up privileges above the current level.

Device Authority, an award-winning and recognized global leader in Identity and Access Management (IAM) for Enterprise IoT ecosystems has appointed Richard Seward as Vice President of Product Management to drive forward the company’s growing portfolio of innovative products under its KeyScaler platform.

Using open-source code exposes organizations to a tremendous amount of risk, yet this point is treated like a dirty little secret that nobody talks about. So, let’s live on the edge and take a minute to talk about the problem. Open-source code is an oddity. Generally, open-source code is often placed in small packets tucked inside massive programs that corporations use to run their most important processes or it is adopted as a whole program and tasked with running some part of a business.

For security analysts navigating an increasingly complex threat landscape, the ability to quickly identify and respond to attacks is critical. Security information and event management (SIEM) tools have been integral to helping security teams quickly respond to attacks. Now, in the era of generative AI, Elastic is changing the game by delivering AI-driven security analytics to replace SIEM and modernize the SOC.
