Jit has launched its new AI agents to offload specific and tedious tasks from AppSec teams such as creating risk assessments, threat models, and compliance reports; while making it easy to take action on mitigating security risk. As a result, AppSec teams can keep pace with the risks that are being introduced faster than ever due to AI code-generation tools. “With the rise of AI coding assistants accelerating development speed — security teams simply can’t keep up with the pace of newly introduced security issues,” said Shai Horovitz, CEO of Jit. “Jit is building the security team of the future:…
German multinational insurance company Munich Re estimates that the global cyber insurance market totaled US$15.3 billion in 2024, corresponding to less than one percent of the global premium volume for property and casualty insurance in 2024, though underscoring the potential for the insurance industry going forward. The global insurance industry is expected to withstand multiple extreme cyber exposure scenarios, such as those that may arise from widespread malware attacks or large-scale outages of cloud service providers. Rapid, simultaneous risk changes due to technological, geopolitical, and market-specific factors present cyber insurers with challenges and opportunities. “In today’s technology-dependent world, organizations can…
As the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to rampage through the United States federal government, essentially guided by Elon Musk, the group has also been upending traditional IT boundaries—evaluating digital systems and allegedly accessing personally identifiable information as well as data that has typically been off-limits to those without specific training. Last week, The New York Times reported that the White House is adding Musk-owned SpaceX’s Starlink Wi-Fi “to improve Wi-Fi connectivity on the complex,” according to a statement from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. The White House’s Starlink internet service is reportedly being donated by…

a ML to be useful it needs to run somewhere. This somewhere is most likely not your local machine. A not-so-good model that runs in a production environment is better than a perfect model that never leaves your local machine. However, the production machine is usually different from the one you developed the model on. So, you ship the model to the production machine, but somehow the model doesn’t work anymore. That’s weird, right? You tested everything on your local machine and it worked fine. You even wrote unit tests. What happened? Most likely the production machine differs from your…

On April 7, BTC’s 50-day simple moving average (SMA) declined to $86,485.72, falling below the 200-day SMA at $86,839.64. Assessing 11 past death cross occurrences, Buttefill discovered that BTC usually registers slight losses within one month after the event. However, median and mean values for the following three and six months are positive.A…
