Intel is still looking to smooth out their operations under new CEO Lip-Bu Tan. The announcement came last week that Intel is going to be cutting more positions. Initial reports rumored that it could be as much 20,000 employees but CFO David Zinsner refuted that number last Friday. Instead, each department will assess their structure and decide whether to cut positions or offer voluntary packages. Zinsner cautioned that not all buyout offers would be accepted. Additionally, early retirements would not be offered, as previously these had led to other issues in the long term. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown.

This episode was first published 12 July 2024.Every business will, at some point, be impacted by cyber attacks. Companies task security teams to prepare the first line of defense against cyber attacks, and most have plans in place for the damage they leave behind – be it data loss, encryption by ransomware operators, or large-scale service disruptions.But something that often goes unremarked upon in the wake of cyber attacks is the psychological, human effects of cyber attacks. When the dust settles, staff can be left with feelings of fear or shame, particularly those directly related to IT security.Who's at risk of this harm? And what can leaders do to minimize the impact?In this episode, Jane and Rory speak to Parisa Bazl, head of user experience at data protection firm Commvault, to discuss the psychological harms that come with cyber attacks and what organizations can do to better support frontline IT staff.Read more:Why 'psychological safety' is so important for building a robust security cultureBuilding an incident response strategy in 2024The hidden cost of ransomware is more painful than many realizeWhy ransomware attacks happen to small businesses – and how to stop themThe end of ransomware payments: How businesses fit into the fightUK firms are failing miserably at data breach responsesData breach response: How to react when your business gets hitDell hacker claims they had access to systems for nearly three weeks

[SPONSORISÉ] Lorsqu'une entreprise fait l'objet d'une cyberattaque, elle met en moyenne 24 jours pour arriver à une reprise partielle de l'activité. Dès lors, comment penser la cyber-résilience des entreprises ? Parlons-en dans ce nouvel épisode de StorTalk avec Patrick Dufour, Directeur Stratégie et Alliances chez Stordata et Xavier Bourdelois, Directeur des avant-ventes chez Commvault.« La cyber-résilience consiste à anticiper le plan de reprise d'activité en cas d'attaque, pour pouvoir redémarrer le plus vite possible », résume Patrick Dufour. Une analyse que partage Xavier Bourdelois : « Il faut bien avoir en tête que lorsqu'une entreprise est attaquée, ses données sont infectées, et ses sauvegardes peuvent l'être aussi, parfois depuis plusieurs mois. Il faut donc sécuriser notre dernière ligne de défense afin d'être en mesure de détecter toute anormalité dès le moment où elle survient. »Pour protéger leurs clients, Stordata et Commvault élaborent des stratégies sur-mesure : architectures zero trust, authentification multi-facteurs, stratégies d'approbations, sauvegardes multiples, immuabilité des données… Comme le rappelle Patrick Dufour, « Il faut que tout le monde dans l'entreprise soit conscient qu'il peut participer à l'infection malgré lui. Et donc il y a un grand travail de sensibilisation à mener encore aujourd'hui. Ensuite, lorsque nous intervenons, il est indispensable de faire un état des lieux des données pour ensuite définir une stratégie de protection adaptée. »Plus d'informations sur storvision.stordata.frHébergé par Ausha.

We're happy to have Dr. Bob Sutor joining us this week on the Rundown, since he covers quantum and advanced computing for The Futurum Group. IBM made two important announcements in the quantum space this week. The first announcement was Qiskit, a quantum SDK that runs on Python for quantum computers. This promises to bring quantum compute to a more mainstream audience and converting the underlying code to Rust. This solution is much faster than competing solutions from Google, Amazon, and Quantinuuum. IBM is also putting together an app store for quantum applications and runtime functions, including from third-party developers. This matches the moves that we have seen in areas like cloud and AI, and serves to push IBM as the leader in quantum computing.
