Mitigating deepfake threats in the corporate world: A forensic approach

In an era where technology advances at breakneck speed, the corporate world finds itself facing an evolving and insidious threat: deepfakes. These synthetic media creations, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, can convincingly manipulate audio, video, and even text - posing significant risks to businesses, their reputation, and their security. To safeguard against this emerging menace, a forensic approach is essential.

Handle secrets like API keys securely in javascript projects with environment variables

In this video we look at how to effectively use the dotenv npm package to securely use secrets like API keys by loading them into your project as environment variables. To do this we first place our secrets in a.env file and the dotenv project will load these in as env variables.

Weather Forecast: Money Is Going to Rain from the Cloud

Since the start of Bitcoin in 2009, the popularity and prevalence of cryptocurrencies has exploded, resulting in a net worth of over $1 trillion that continues to grow. Cryptocurrency—held in virtual wallets—is obtained by users who purchase coins on a cryptocurrency exchange, receive coins as payment from someone else, or “mine” coins virtually themselves.

Importance of Encryption in Messaging Apps

It's almost impossible to imagine modern life without using messengers and other text apps. We have all become more or less dependent on convenient online communication. After all, it is also lightning-fast. We use messaging apps for work, and to communicate with friends and family. And also to share personal information. Yet, are we sure that our content actually remains private? What is clear is that as the volume of digital communication increases, so does the importance of ensuring the privacy and security of our content.

Balancing Ethics and Freedom: The Challenge of Regulating Public Access to Advanced AI like Chat GPT

In an era of rapid technological advancement, the availability of AI systems like Chat GPT to the public raises complex questions about ethics and limitations. Join us as we dive into the challenging debate surrounding the responsible use of this cutting-edge technology. 🤖⚖️ In this thought-provoking video, we explore the need for some rules to prevent the harmful use of AI while respecting the values of free expression.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity - and the Unseen Risks of Using It

The concept of automation has been around for decades in the software field, but recent advancements in machine learning and natural language processing have led to huge breakthroughs. We’ve gone from machines that complete rules-based, predetermined tasks to a new generation of software that “learns” from huge sets of data so that it can make predictions — collectively known as artificial intelligence (AI).

How does your AWS environment stand up to the MITRE ATT&CK framework?

In today’s digital age, adopting public cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) security means reinforcing them. AWS is a complex and versatile platform. When problems or security incidents arise, it's important to have a systematic approach to investigation and analysis or it can quickly become noisy with lots of false positives. This is where the Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (MITRE ATT&CK) framework can help.

Beam OSS: Easily Make your Infra Private Using AWS SSM

Beam is an OSS project that simplifies secure access to private infrastructure within non-public VPC environments. It replaces the traditional bastion host approach with AWS Systems Manager (SSM) for access, ensuring better security and user-friendliness, especially in dynamic environments with changing resources and multi-tenancy requirements. Beam eliminates the complexities of configuring SSM access, making it an accessible solution for various applications and environments while maintaining security best practices. Today Beam is available for AWS (SSM) and will expand to Google's Identity-Aware Proxy (IAP).

Embracing Zero Trust: Revolutionizing Cloud Technology Adoption
