OpenAI is preparing to launch as many as three new AI models, possibly called “o4-mini”, “o4-mini-high” and “o3”. Right now, ChatGPT has as many as five models, including GPT 4o (the non-reasoning model), GPT 4.5 (another non-reasoning model but with greater creativity), and three reasoning models: o1, o3-mini, and o3-mini-high. o1’s successor is o3, but a full-fledged model isn’t available yet. We only have access to the o3-mini and o3-mini-high, which are small reasoning models in the o-series, offering improved performance and faster responses. New AI models spotted on ChatGPT web app Source: BleepingComputer According to references found on ChatGPT’s web app, OpenAI…
The 2023 Annual Data Breach Report revealed a 72% increase in U.S. data breaches since 2021, with approximately 3,205 incidents impacting a substantial number of victims (Identity Theft Resource Center, 2024). Given the fast-paced nature of the digital world today, this rise in advanced and frequent cyber threats highlights the urgent need to safeguard sensitive data and systems. Therefore, a cyber security risk assessment forms a vital component of a well-rounded security plan. By understanding the core of the assessment process, you can excel in taking proactive steps to protect assets and enhance cyber resilience.Let’s delve deeper into the diverse…
U.S. House Committee members have urged the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) not to proceed with the reported plan of the administration of President Donald Trump to dismantle the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The members identified that last month, Secretary Kristi Noem announced during a March cabinet meeting, “We’re going to eliminate FEMA” contradicting her previous commitment at her nomination hearing to ‘enhance our emergency preparedness and strengthen FEMA’s capabilities.’ In a letter to Noem, Bennie G. Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi and ranking member of the Committee on Homeland Security; Rick Larsen, a Democrat from…

Ishan Pandey: Hi Renç, welcome to our “Behind the Startup” series. Giza is redefining DeFi by building a permissionless intelligence layer that empowers autonomous agents. Can you share the inspiration behind founding Giza and the challenges you set out to solve in the DeFi space? Renç Korzay: The inspiration behind Giza stems from a fundamental recognition that financial markets, particularly in DeFi, have evolved beyond human cognitive capabilities. While DeFi promised to democratize finance by removing gatekeepers, the paradox is that increasing protocol complexity has created cognitive barriers limiting participation mostly to technical specialists, while simultaneously trapping billions in idle…
Can Innovations in Machine Identity Management Reshape Cloud Security? Cloud technology has transformed the way we work, store data, and build software, revolutionizing various industries from vending to mobile automation. Nevertheless, this digital shift brings forth novel cybersecurity challenges. One particularly important aspect often overlooked is the management of Non-Human Identities (NHIs). So, what exactly are NHIs, and how do they fit into broader cloud security? Understanding Non-Human Identities in the Context of Cloud Security Non-Human Identities (NHIs) are essentially machine identities utilized within cybersecurity frameworks. These identities are engineered by paralleling a Secret (a distinctive identifier analogous to a…
