Women in Cybersecurity: IBM Invites Atlanta-Area Students to Seminar

As security has evolved into a core issue for business and society, the talent shortage persists. Recent studies by the Center for Cyber Safety and Education predicted a shortfall of 1.8 million open and unfilled cybersecurity positions by 2022. Bringing more women into the security industry continues to be a missed opportunity to address the growing skills gap, with women representing only 11 percent of the current global information security workforce.

What does resilience in the cyber world look like in 2025 and beyond?

6 min read - Back in 2021, we ran a series called “A Journey in Organizational Resilience.” These issues of this series remain applicable today and, in many cases, are more important than ever, given the rapid changes of the last few years. But the term "resilience" can be difficult to define, and when we define it, we may limit its scope, missing the big picture.In the age of generative artificial intelligence (gen AI), the prevalence of breach data from infostealers and the near-constant…

Airplane cybersecurity: Past, present, future

These rules would “protect the equipment, systems and networks of transport…

Protecting your digital assets from non-human identity attacks
