Only 42% of companies discover breaches through their own security teams. CISOs are often “blind” to third-party security practices and crucial data pipelines. This lack of transparency and reliance on their providers to keep their data safe invites an ongoing trade-off between security and accessibility. It works both ways. Service providers also want access to real-time information to heighten their security practices that organizations may deem too confidential to share. So where do CISOs and service providers draw the data-sharing line? In a Gartner survey of 100 executive risk committee members, 84% said that third-party risk incidents resulted in disruption to operations. Financial loss,…

The first FireSat satellite – designed specifically to detect wildfire using artificial intelligence (AI) – successfully launched aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-13 mission on March 14 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The satellite represents the first of more than 50 planned for a revolutionary constellation that will dramatically improve early fire-detection capabilities worldwide. Until now, many wildfire authorities have depended on satellite imagery that’s low-resolution or only updated a few times a day. According to Google Research, one of the partners on this project, FireSat’s full constellation will provide high-resolution imagery that’s updated globally every 20 minutes. It uses AI to…
Having multiple identical or nearly identical copies of the same photo serves no purpose, and they just take up unnecessary space on your iPhone. In the past, the only way to remove duplicates was to manually search for and delete them. But luckily, starting with iOS 16, iPhones now have a built-in tool that makes it much easier. This feature automatically detects duplicates, groups them into a separate album, and lets you “merge” them – keeping one copy and deleting the rest. However, it does have limitations, it only works with exact duplicates, so near-duplicates won’t be detected. But what…
