Cutter Hodierne knew the odds were against him. As an independent filmmaker trying to secure funding for “Cold Wallet,” a crypto thriller about a heist gone wrong, he faced the usual hurdles—hesitant investors, an unpredictable industry, and a financing system that favored big studios over fresh voices.“In Hollywood’s centralized model, breaking in is difficult,” he said. “You never know if you met the right person, if your script was overlooked, or if your work is truly considered.”So instead of taking the traditional route, he turned to the decentralized film industry. Often referred to as Film3, it leverages blockchain technology, community…

In the world of cybersecurity awareness, phishing simulations have long been touted as the frontline defense againstcyber threats. However, while they are instrumental, relying solely on these simulations can leave significant gaps in an organization’s security training program. At CybeReady, we understand that comprehensive preparedness requires a more holistic approach. The Limitations of Phishing Simulations Phishing simulations test employees’ ability to recognize suspicious emails based on their current knowledge, which is a vital skill. Yet, this method alone often falls short in cultivating a deep, intuitive understanding of security best practices that adapt to evolving threats. These simulations typically do…
Financial industry executives believe that companies have little choice but to use artificial intelligence (AI) to navigate today’s increasingly complex regulatory environment and faster product development cycles. “In 2025, there is pretty much no compliance without AI, because compliance became exponentially harder,” said Alexander Statnikov, co-founder and CEO of Crosswise Risk Management. “Think about all the change management that happens with regulations.
