What happens when a technology that used to be a niche tool for coders turns into a creative collaborator that anyone can use? That’s the question at the heart of a recent speech by Michael S. Barr, Vice Chair for Supervision at the U.S. Federal Reserve. He laid out two big “what if” futures for…
If AI can write code, draft emails, and run research for us—what happens when it does the same things for attackers, faster, at scale, and without getting tired? That’s the unsettling question behind President Biden’s new cybersecurity executive order—highlighted by security expert Bruce Schneier in his February 15, 2025 Crypto-Gram newsletter—that puts artificial intelligence front…
What happens when a fraudster has an AI that never sleeps, never gets sloppy, and can sound like your boss, your mother, and your favorite public official—all before lunch? Lithuania is betting €24.1 million that an integrated human‑AI defense can keep public trust alive in a world where fraud is dynamic, personalized, and frighteningly convincing….
What if the same artificial intelligence that cybercriminals wield against you could become your most effective security ally? That’s exactly the premise behind a new, free online clinic from University of Hawaiʻi–Maui College—an initiative designed to put practical, AI-powered defense strategies into the hands of the people who need them most: small businesses and sole…
What happens when artificial intelligence stops feeling like a shiny demo and starts behaving like the infrastructure beneath everything? In 2026, that’s no longer a thought experiment. AI agents are debugging code and triaging support tickets. Hospitals are piloting patient “digital twins.” Studios are shipping content at machine pace—while deepfakes push trust to a breaking…
If a phishing email knew your writing style so well it sounded like you, would your team catch it? If malware rewrote itself each time it ran, could your tools keep up? What if an attacker used a cloned voice to rush a wire transfer—would your process hold? This isn’t a trailer for a cyber-thriller;…
If you thought AI spending might cool off in 2026, think again. Gartner now expects global IT spending to reach a jaw-dropping $6.15 trillion by 2026—up 10.8% year over year—with AI infrastructure taking the biggest bite of that growth. That’s an upward revision from the analyst firm’s October call, signaling that the AI acceleration is…
If you’ve been trusting your gut to catch phishing emails—looking for typos, awkward phrasing, odd salutations—here’s a wake-up call: that playbook is increasingly obsolete. Attackers are using generative AI to write flawless messages, mimic internal tone, and even carry on multi-email conversations with zero links or attachments. And the numbers are sobering. According to a…
Imagine sitting in a doctor’s office, struggling to describe your pain. The words feel inadequate, or maybe English isn’t your first language. The doctor nods, but you wonder: did they really understand? Miscommunication in health care isn’t just frustrating—it can have real consequences for diagnosis, treatment, and patient well-being. Now, picture a future where artificial…
AI has quietly woven itself into the very fabric of modern business – not with a splash, but with a steady, accelerating seep. From your meeting apps to your CRM, generative AI is everywhere. But with great power comes, yes… a confusing tangle of new risks. If you’re a security leader, you’re likely asking, “How…
