Many of those businesses may never go back to being fully on-premises, either because they are switching to a permanently remote model or a hybrid model where employees balance their time between working remotely and working from the office. While this has brought benefits, the increased use of cloud applications and services also brings security risks. Employees can now access corporate applications from anywhere – and that can be exploited by cyber criminals....

Hydrow recently announced the smaller, lighter, and less expensive Hydrow Wave, and for the past month, I’ve been using it instead of the larger model. The Hydrow Wave is designed to be a more accessible rowing machine with a price that is $1,000 less than the original Hydrow. It also has a smaller footprint, so it can be used in apartments, small bedrooms, and other spaces where the larger Hydrow can’t....

On Tuesday, the tech giant said that Kestrel helps Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts and other professionals in the industry “streamline threat discovery,” allowing experts to more quickly tackle cyberforensics investigations, breaches, and other incidents. Kestrel made its debut this year at the RSA Conference. The open source programming language, developed jointly between IBM Research and IBM Security, is based on experiments performed via DARPA’s Transparent Computing initiative. Kestrel is used to compose ‘hunt’ flows for threats, including known patterns, sources, analytics, and applying detection logic to create a process for cybersecurity professionals to leave repetitive jobs in the hands of automation and instead focus on other tasks which require the intuition and skill of human staff....

Developers have been encouraged to not only use the guide but to contribute their own ideas as well. The guide is created specifically for those who want to develop cloud applications. Todd Moore, vice president of Open Tech at IBM, told ZDNet that the guide grew out of discussions the company was having with developers building hybrid cloud applications. “IBM is all about creating a cloud platform that enables choice and interoperability for our partners, clients, and the developer community....

On Wednesday, the MLCommons, the industry consortium that oversees a popular test of machine learning performance, MLPerf, released the latest numbers for the “training” of artificial neural nets. The bake-off showed the least number of competitors that Nvidia has had in three years, just one: CPU giant Intel. In past rounds, including the most recent in June, Nvidia had two or more competitors it was going up against, including Intel, Google with its “Tensor Processing Unit,” or TPU chip, and chips from British startup Graphcore....

On Tuesday, Lacework published its 2021 Cloud Threat Report vol.2, outlining how today’s cybercriminals are attempting to cut out some of the legwork involved in campaigns against cloud service providers. Over this year, the cloud security firm’s team has observed a number of trends of note in the cloud space, including increased demand for IABs. Initial Access Brokers, as documented by KELA, are individuals or groups which have managed to secure access to a target system....

Sierra Forest is the first of its planned E-core products, which it plans to develop alongside Performance-core (P-core) Xeon. As Intel laid out its plans for the data center during its 2022 Investor Day, the company said all future generations of Xeon will have a new dual-track roadmap of Performance and Efficient-core based products, moving from two optimized platforms into one common, industry defining platform. The dual track should help data centers become more workload-focused and sustainable, Intel said....

Hybrid and remote working arrangements are now a common feature in many companies – a consequence of the pandemic and one that is potentially going to become a permanent employment option. Some enterprise players are now making the transition from remote to hybrid workweeks, including Google. And according to Intel, hybrid and remote setups have become a catalyst for the design of computing systems able to “empower productivity” no matter the size of a company....

In response, colleges and universities touted their online learning options. They expanded existing programs and, in some cases, created new options to earn an advanced degree. Some schools chose to waive standardized test requirements, opening doors for people who might have otherwise decided not to continue their education. Online graduate CS programs are a “compelling new option” Enrollment in online computer science master’s programs surged around the same time as the pandemic....

Here’s what you need to know to make your iPhone a harder target for hackers and thieves. Note that these settings also mostly apply to the iPad. The basics First off, everything starts off with the basics. These haven’t changed in years. Use a strong passcode using Custom Alphanumeric Code (if this is easily guessable, it’s game over). If you think someone knows your passcode, change it. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode)....

Obenetwork Swedish ISP Obenetwork was targeted by ‘Rights Alliance’, an anti-piracy group in Sweden. They believed that the ISP had ties with The Pirate Bay (TPB) and wanted to find out the IP address of the platform, so that they could locate its servers. The case was brought to court by ‘Svensk Filmindustri’ and ‘Nordisk Film’, who were supporting Rights Alliance. They filed for an information injunction against Obenetwork. The companies also told authorities that Obenetwork would destroy evidence if the case wasn’t investigated immediately....

The story is always the same. The iPhone is physically hot to the touch and the battery depletes in a few hours from little to no usage. There’s a lot of chatter about it on the social medias and on Apple’s own support forum. Without needing to see or physically touch the iPhone, I can tell them what’s happening. Either iOS is going haywire doing something that’s consuming a lot of battery power, which in turn is causing the handset to overheat, or an app has gone out of control, doing the same thing....

I’ve seen that question a few times already on Windows support forums and in my inbox. It’s usually accompanied by speculation that Microsoft has decided to cut off updates for hardware that doesn’t meet the strict minimum standards for Windows 11 compatibility. After some testing, I’ve concluded that there’s a much simpler explanation. Also: What’s new in the Windows 11 22H2 update? As with Windows 10 feature updates, Microsoft is rolling out this update in a gradual fashion, offering it to a limited subset of devices first....

The Italian data protection authority (DPA) said TikTok’s new policy of denying users the ability to opt out of personalized advertising is a breach of the GDPR, considering it collects user data without consent. Furthermore, the DPA expressed concern about the negative impact the policy could have on “unsuitable” advertising to children, considering TikTok’s history of failing to properly monitor underage users registering as adults.
