Description

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, we focus exclusively on cybersecurity, in a series we’re calling Cybersecurity Shorts. Today, I’m joined by fellow analyst Fred McClimans for a conversation on six cybersecurity topics in quick succession. This episode covers: News of hackers linked to China using a flaw in Ivanti’s Pulse Connect Secure VPN to target defense industry researchers in the US. Efforts by a bipartisan group of lawmakers who are pushing for legislation funding cybersecurity training and developing programs to attract and retain cybersecurity talent in the federal government along with other efforts by lawmakers to combat cybersecurity threats. A warning from the UK’s security experts about threat actors’ use of LinkedIn to target government officials and others. A new study from HP on nation-state cyber incidents going back over a decade and how that’s not predicted to get any better any time soon. If ever. News of a leak of 3.2 billion passwords containing 1.5 million records with government emails, and what that means from a cyber risk standpoint. AI-powered cybersecurity platform Vectra AI raises $130 million — evidence of the new world of artificial intelligence and machine learning in threat detection.
