Reported by: Amir Syafiq Ezrin What is a Phishing Attack?
Phishing is a cyberattack technique where attackers attempt to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, or other confidential data. Typically, attackers pose as trustworthy entities, luring victims with compelling requests or offers. The term "phishing" is derived from the concept of "fishing," as attackers bait their targets into providing the information they seek. What is Deepfake Technology? Deepfake technology uses artificial intelligence, particularly deep learning, to create hyper-realistic fake images, videos, and audio recordings. The technology can modify existing content by swapping one person for another or generate entirely new content that depicts individuals saying or doing things they never did. While deepfakes can be used for entertainment or legitimate purposes, they also pose significant risks by spreading disinformation that appears to originate from credible sources. What is Generative AI (GenAI)? Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) refers to AI systems designed to create new content, ideas, or data that mimic human creativity. By leveraging deep learning algorithms, GenAI can produce outputs such as text, images, music, and even code. Popular models like Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPT) and Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) allow these AI systems to analyze vast datasets, learning patterns to generate original content that closely resembles the input data.

by Staff Writer Digital transformation is touted as a leading force driving IT and business decisions. Despite the hype, it’s not delivering on the promise. In spite of surging investments, fewer than one-third of digital transformations succeed at improving a company’s performance, according to McKinsey & Company.
Yet the effective employment of digital strategies drives key benefits and across business lines, from improved productivity that fuels innovation to better business insights – but only if you approach digital transformation the right way. It’s not the underlying technology that accounts for the poor performance of so many digital transformation projects. Rather, a lack of organizational readiness is a frequent culprit, including underestimating or not understanding the work and resources required, and factors such as poor data governance and executive cohesion. Here are three key ways to beat the odds and achieve digital transformation success. by Stephen Danos Across all industries, IT departments provide the essential infrastructure for companies to operate more efficiently and effectively. They often coordinate and implement technology on a tremendous scale and ensure business continuity, from installing hardware upgrades to setting up single sign-on to improve data security. IDC recently reported that when considering a work execution platform, IT departments add adoption criteria that move beyond cost, customer validation, and implementation time. Among these necessary checks are enterprise-grade security, scalability, long-term use, APIs and integrations, and the platform’s access to a partner ecosystem.

by Staff Writer Change is hard – which is why managing shifts within the enterprise has evolved into a discipline in its own right. Change management refers to strategies and processes to support individuals as they navigate and adopt organizational changes, whether that’s expanding into new product lines or adopting a new technological platform.
While experts have been studying the best methods of effectively driving change since at least the 1940s, a recent study suggests that the most effective way to speed adoption in the face of organizational change is to focus not on the change itself, but to emphasize what will remain the same. |
