Lucius Fox, The Dark Knight, The Panopticon Penitentiary and The Democratic Geneva Convention. Same Same but not all that different.

Fact: Your body sheds 50 million skin cells every day in homeostatic conditions. Fact: An American adult will spend up to 11 hours per day engaging in watching, reading, listening or simply interacting with media on a daily basis. Our dermis carries in it our DNA telling a story of our epigenetic environment. Similarly, the… Read more Lucius Fox, The Dark Knight, The Panopticon Penitentiary and The Democratic Geneva Convention. Same Same but not all that different.

IoT and Edge Computing Services

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most hyped topics in today’s technology coverage. But what really is IoT? The term IoT summarizes all connected “entities”. The Internet of Things is made up of the smallest machines up to the largest computers. All of them have in common that they use networking technology… Read more IoT and Edge Computing Services

Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing in Defence Systems

“An unmanned systems future, really for almost every facet of our life, is inevitable.  It is not going away, so we need to deal with it head-on” says Brigadier General Frank Kelley, and I concur. Kelley, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy’s unmanned systems put forward his idea that the unmanned drones are on… Read more Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing in Defence Systems

The Future of Cybersecurity is Quantum

Cryptography today mainly relies on math that is easy to do in one-way, and extremely difficult to do in the opposite way. Turns out, some of that math has to do with factoring very large prime numbers. For instance, it is easier to multiply 73 by 79 to get 5767 than to factor 5767 to… Read more The Future of Cybersecurity is Quantum

Cybersecurity and the Internet of Things

With hackers constantly reinventing themselves (think: the evolution of Nigerian price scams into specific, targeted methods including ransomware), there is a pressing need for cybersecurity efforts to be shored up and reinforced.   Breaches can be costly too – a study by the Ponemon Institute sponsored by IBM estimated that the average cost of one… Read more Cybersecurity and the Internet of Things

The War on Cybercrime

Costs associated with cybercrime damages are predicted to rise to six trillion annually by 2021. Cybersecurity spending is estimated to exceed one trillion from 2017 to 2021. 3.5 million new cybersecurity jobs expected to be filled by 2021. Six billion internet users anticipated by 2022, all of which are potential targets for cybercrime [1]. Global… Read more The War on Cybercrime

Digital Security, part XXI : the mouse gets bigger than the cat

We are digging our very own grave and, to a large extent, we keep going with no flippancy whatsoever: more than 5TB of data/storage per capita forecasted by 2020 – 1GB in 2015, more than 40 billion readily “connectable” devices – 10 billion in 2015, frenetic quests to provide ubiquitous IP connectivity – e.g. SpaceX… Read more Digital Security, part XXI : the mouse gets bigger than the cat

Artificial Intelligence as a threat to cybersecurity?

According to a study, conducted by Kaspersky Lab (2016), almost 50 percent of VSBs, SMBs and Enterprises are impacted by some kind of phishing attack. As pointed out by Dr. Stephen Herrod (General Catalyst Partners) during his guest lecture at Stanford University, the impact of those phishing techniques can be tremendously high since they are… Read more Artificial Intelligence as a threat to cybersecurity?

Cyber Security

Cyber threat refers to a person who attempts to gain access into a computer system or information without proper authorisation by the use of a data communication pathway. Cyber threats are no unknown devil in the 21st century, private information being shared and leaked around the world is now normal, armies of countries and companies… Read more Cyber Security

Is Blockchain a future? Yes, of course!

Blockchain is definitely one of the “hot” buzzwords nowadays. What is Blockchain exactly? There are many explanations of Blockchain. I love this definition [1] from The Wall Street Journal. “A blockchain is a data structure that makes it possible to create a digital ledger of transactions and share it among a distributed network of computers.… Read more Is Blockchain a future?
