With the new age of problem-solving augmented by Large Language Models (LLMs), only a handful of problems remain that have subpar solutions. Most classification problems (at a PoC level) can be solved by leveraging LLMs at 70–90% Precision/F1 with just good prompt engineering techniques, as well as adaptive in-context-learning (ICL) examples. What happens when you want to consistently achieve performance higher than that — when prompt engineering no longer suffices? The classification conundrum Text classification is one of the oldest and most well-understood examples of supervised learning. Given this premise, it should really not be hard to build robust, well-performing classifiers that handle…

The explosive growth of AI is transforming enterprises and cloud providers alike, creating unprecedented demand for secure, high-performance AI infrastructure. At NVIDIA GTC 2025, Check Point will share how it is integrating the NVIDIA Cybersecurity AI platform to secure the next generation of AI cloud infrastructure at scale.  The Unique Security Challenges of AI Cloud Data Centers AI Cloud Data Centers represent a fundamental shift from traditional data centers to accelerated computing. These AI Cloud Data Centers are sometimes called “AI factories” because they focus specifically on the creation, development, and delivery of AI capabilities that power innovation across industries.…

The EN 18031 series of standards has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union as harmonized standards for the cybersecurity extension of the Radio Equipment Directive RED. This is the first pointer to the eagerly awaited harmonized standards for the Cyber Resilience Act. But first things first. Quick recap: Harmonized standards (hEN) are European standards (EN) that are published in the Official Journal of the EU as harmonized standards for a specific EU law. These standards then provide a presumption of conformity — this means that if the harmonized standards are met, the user can assume that…

Cybersecurity leaders today face relentless threats — breaches happen in seconds, adversaries constantly evolve, and security teams must adapt faster than ever. CrowdTour 2025 is built for you — the security professionals on the front lines who use CrowdStrike every day — coming together to learn from peers, share real-world defense strategies, and strengthen the community’s ability to stop breaches, manage risk, and stay ahead of evolving threats. Last year, we launched the first-ever global CrowdTour, bringing together cybersecurity leaders, practitioners, and innovators worldwide to share insights, experiences, and best practices. The overwhelming success and attendance of the inaugural tour…

LG will shut down its NFT platform, LG Art Lab, on June 17, according to a notice published on its website earlier this month. The project, launched at the height of the NFT craze in September 2022, allowed users to display NFTs on their TVs and partnered with visual artists to launch digital art collections.“As the NFT space continues to evolve, we believe it is the right time to shift our focus and explore new opportunities,” the company stated. Ahead of the closure, all assets currently listed for resale in the LG Art Lab Marketplace will be transferred to collectors’ personal wallets…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly shifted from buzz to business necessity over the past year—something Zscaler has seen firsthand while pioneering AI-powered solutions and tracking enterprise AI/ML activity in the world’s largest security cloud.As enterprises embrace AI to boost productivity, accelerate decision-making, and automate workflows, to name a few benefits, cybercriminals are using the same technology to automate and scale more sophisticated attacks. From hyper-realistic deepfakes to advanced vishing scams, AI-generated threats have quickly raised the stakes for enterprise security.With AI fundamentally changing both how businesses operate and how cybercriminals attack, organizations must maintain a current and comprehensive understanding of…

The responsibility of cyber incident response falls squarely on the shoulders of the CISO. And many CISOs invest heavily in technical response procedures, tabletop exercises and theoretical plans only to find out that when an actual breach strikes the organization is not as prepared as it should be. Every event is unique and can introduce unforeseen complications, and the chaos of the moment can quickly derail even the best laid plans. But CISOs can improve their team’s response and reduce damage by avoiding these common pitfalls: Pitfall #1: Inadequate cyber incident response planning Many organizations still lack a well-defined incident…
