The RSA Conference is just around the corner. If you feel like this cybersecurity conference snuck up, you’re not alone. The 29th RSAC is Feb. 23–27 at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, much earlier on the calendar than RSAC 19 or 18 were. It’s scheduled, it’s early and it’s officially go-time.

The global average cost of a data breach is now $3.92 million — a 12 percent increase since 2014. Fortunately, the average cybersecurity budget is also increasing alongside breach cleanup costs. How to prioritize your budget is never a simple question. However, there’s a lot of insight to be gleaned from industry studies on how chief information security officers (CISOs) are spending organization funds. For the first time ever, more than half of CISOs have a job tenure of more than five years,
No longer just up-and-coming professionals, Pew Research reports Millennials, or individuals aged 20 to 35, now represent the largest segment of the U.S. workforce. What that means for CHROs? It is officially time to shift attention toward Generation Z, or people born after 1996. Not only is Gen Z beginning to enter the workforce, the New York Times reports they'll be the largest generation yet, at some 60 million members. For organizations struggling against talent shortages and impending boome
The potential risks and rewards of remote workplaces are among the hottest topics in HR today. ADP's study The Evolution of Work: The Changing Nature of the Global Workforce identified freedom as a basic human need, and consequently 81 percent of modern employees feel positively about being able to "work from anywhere in the world." An additional 49 percent of employees believe that the future of remote work is already happening today. While it's clear that contemporary talent values flexible wo
Is a cybersecurity degree worth it? The answer is yes, but it also depends on who’s asking. Higher education could be a profitable pathway, especially if you’re already a student. However, school isn’t the only way to get your foot in the door. You can land a job in cybersecurity with a curious mindset and a solid cybersecurity resume.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of WiFi, the wireless connectivity technology that revolutionized how users interact with devices in the late 1990s. To mark this occasion, let’s rewind for a minute to the inception of consumer Wi-Fi. Boybands, the Matrix, and low-rise jeans ruled pop culture back in 1999, and many of us were relying on painfully slow dial-up internet to work and socialize back then. Wi-Fi changed everything, and the standard continues to evolve and improve to this day.

The holiday shopping season is officially upon us, and so is a new seasonal batch of payment security threats. The holiday sales rush spells payday for retail cybercriminals. Eight percent of consumers fell victim to identity theft or fraud during the holidays last year, according to a 2018 Experian survey, and nearly half of all holiday identity theft incidents are the result of shopping online.
Once you've made a successful diversity training business case, it's time to put your ideas into action. A four-hour annual training probably won't create real change in the workplace. According to the Harvard Business Review (HBR), an inclusive culture determines how well diverse teams perform. Ongoing training can help to create cultural change and inspire individuals to live up to values of diversity and inclusion.

More than 60 percent of U.S. consumers today prefer to use automated customer service, according to American Express. This includes digital self-serve tools such as websites, apps, and — notably — chatbots. But what is a chatbot, exactly? Putting it simply, chatbots use artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate conversation with humans, especially for customer service or business growth.
The darknet isn’t all creepy, illegal content. There’s definitely no shortage of criminal forums or malware marketplaces beneath the surface web, but there’s also a few legitimate websites and communities. To be clear, the darknet is still, well, dark and dangerous. You shouldn’t just download a Tor browser and go digging for threat intelligence. Not everyone who heads below the surface web, however, is trying to buy stolen passwords or rent a botnet for hire. Some Tor users are simply trying
