Can we build technology today to defend against the threats of tomorrow? This week, Technology Now concludes a double episode on post quantum cryptography and explores the subject of firmware, why it's imperative that it be protected against quantum attacks and why a simple update can't solve every problem. Nigel Edwards, Director of the Security Lab at HPE Labs, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About Nigel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nigel-edwards-170591/?originalSubdomain=ukSources: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/01/the-long-and-winding-history-of-encryption/423726/https://www.theqrl.org/blog/history-of-cryptography-behind-the-code-episode-1/https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/may/07/todays-ai-can-crack-second-world-war-enigma-code-in-short-order-experts-say

Episode 5 of our series covers always-on encryption, the smart use of metadata, and our DIY install/repair/upgrade approach. Pure's approach to security is to have it built-in and non-optional, with end-to-end encryption—covering both user data and metadata—using device or software-based AES-256 alongside features like Rapid Data Locking, role-based access controls, and secure erasure methods to protect against breaches and support compliance needs. Next, hear about how metadata serves as the “secret sauce” for Pure, enabling highly efficient, granular data services and powering capabilities like snapshots and instant cloning through a scalable, multi-tiered framework that writes, caches, and protects metadata in ways traditional arrays cannot match. Finally, we touch on installation, repairs, and upgrades which are designed for ultimate simplicity and DIY ease, with non-disruptive software and hardware changes—thanks to Pure's Evergreen architecture—which allows organizations to grow and evolve storage resources without operational downtime, complex migrations, or compromise. These architectural choices underpin Pure's promise of secure, resilient, and agile storage that adapts to changing business needs while remaining effortless to manage. Series Overview: Pure Storage's foundational approach to product engineering is guided by 15 architectural decisions that were established at the company's inception and have shaped both the technical and user experience across its product lines. These architectural choices were not made arbitrarily—they stem from a deliberate focus on simplicity, efficiency, and scalability, ensuring Pure could deliver storage solutions that break away from legacy complexity and enable continuous innovation without compromise. This series will guide viewers through all of the 15 principles, helping you understand why certain choices were made, how they impact your operations, and how they compare to other industry features and products. Join Pure Report podcast hosts Rob Ludeman, Andrew Miller, and J.D Wallace for this fun technical retrospective on Pure Storage.

MIT's recent report reveals that a staggering 95% of enterprise generative AI pilot programs fail to deliver results, primarily due to poor execution rather than the quality of the AI models themselves. The study, which involved interviews with 150 leaders and a survey of 350 employees, highlights a significant learning gap in integrating these tools into business operations. Despite the promise of generative AI, most companies are misallocating their budgets, focusing on sales and marketing instead of back-office automation, where the highest returns are found. This disconnect is further exacerbated by outdated IT help desks, which hinder security and efficiency.The UK government has recently backed off its demand for Apple to provide backdoor access to user data protected by iCloud encryption, following pressure from U.S. officials. This decision is seen as a win for privacy advocates, but the ongoing clash between governments over data privacy regulations continues to pose challenges for tech companies. The FTC has warned major tech firms against compromising U.S. privacy standards in an effort to comply with foreign regulations, highlighting the complexities of compliance fragmentation that affects customers.In the realm of artificial intelligence, OpenAI has announced updates to its latest model, GPT-5, aiming to make it more approachable after user feedback indicated a preference for the previous version, GPT-4. Meanwhile, Chinese startup DeepSeek has launched a powerful AI model, DeepSeek v3.1, which challenges the dominance of American companies. Additionally, Elon Musk's XAI has open-sourced its GROK 2.5 model, despite facing controversy over its previous iterations. These developments illustrate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI technology and the competitive pressures within the industry.The U.S. government has made headlines by purchasing a 10% stake in Intel, investing $8.9 billion in taxpayer money to stabilize the company amid its ongoing struggles. Critics argue that this move represents a shift towards industrial policy rather than traditional capitalism, as the government selects specific companies as winners and losers. This intervention raises questions about the future of the semiconductor market, as government involvement could alter pricing, supply, and vendor strategies. For IT service providers, this situation underscores the importance of diversifying hardware investments and preparing clients for potential market disruptions. Four things to know today 00:00 MIT Finds 95% of GenAI Pilots Fail, While Businesses Overspend on Cloud and Ignore IT Gaps05:08 UK Retreats on Apple Backdoor Demand as FTC Warns Big Tech and OpenAI Lands Federal Deal08:14 GPT-5 Gets a Personality Makeover, DeepSeek Goes Big, Musk Goes Open Source, and Zoom Gives You a Robot Receptionist12:50 U.S. Buys 10% of Intel With $8.9B Investment, Blurring Lines Between Capitalism and Industrial Policy This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://scalepad.com/dave/ https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

At Black Hat USA 2025, Sean Martin, co-founder of ITSPmagazine, sat down with Brett Stone-Gross, Senior Director of Threat Intelligence at Zscaler, to discuss the findings from the company's latest ransomware report. Over the past five years, the research has tracked how attack patterns, targets, and business models have shifted—most notably from file encryption to data theft and extortion.Brett explains that many ransomware groups now find it more profitable—and less risky—to steal sensitive data and threaten to leak it unless paid, rather than encrypt files and disrupt operations. This change also allows attackers to stay out of the headlines and avoid immediate law enforcement pressure, while still extracting massive payouts. One case saw a Fortune 50 company pay $75 million to prevent the leak of 100 terabytes of sensitive medical data—without a single file being encrypted.The report highlights variation in attacker methods. Some groups focus on single large targets; others, like the group “LOP,” exploit vulnerabilities in widely used file transfer applications, making supply chain compromise a preferred tactic. Once inside, attackers validate their claims by providing file trees and sample data—proving the theft is real.Certain industries remain disproportionately affected. Healthcare, manufacturing, and technology are perennial top targets, with oil and gas seeing a sharp increase this year. Many victims operate with legacy systems, slow to adopt modern security measures, making them vulnerable. Geographically, the U.S. continues to be hit hardest, accounting for roughly half of all observed ransomware incidents.The conversation also addresses why organizations fail to detect such massive data theft—sometimes hundreds of gigabytes per day over weeks. Poor monitoring, limited security staffing, and alert fatigue all contribute. Brett emphasizes that reducing exposure starts with eliminating unnecessary internet-facing services and embracing zero trust architectures to prevent lateral movement.The ransomware report serves not just as a data source but as a practical guide. By mapping observed attacker behaviors to defensive strategies, organizations can better identify and close their most dangerous gaps—before becoming another statistic in next year's findings.Learn more about Zscaler: https://itspm.ag/zscaler-327152Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest:Brett Stone-Gross, Senior Director of Threat Intelligence at Zscaler, | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-stone-gross/ResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Zscaler: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/zscalerLearn more about ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-storyKeywords: sean martin, brett stone-gross, ransomware, data extortion, cyber attacks, zero trust security, threat intelligence, data breach, cyber defense, network security, file transfer vulnerability, data protection, black hat, black hat usa 2025, zscaler

At Black Hat USA 2025, Jennifer Granick—Surveillance and Cybersecurity Counsel at the American Civil Liberties Union—takes the keynote stage to make a bold case: we are long overdue for a new threat model, one that sees government surveillance not as a background risk, but as a primary threat to constitutional privacy.Granick draws from decades of experience defending hackers, fighting surveillance overreach, and engaging with the security community since DEFCON 3. She challenges the audience to reconsider outdated assumptions about how the Fourth Amendment is interpreted and applied. While technology has made it easier than ever for governments to collect data, the legal system hasn't kept pace—and in many cases, fails to recognize the sheer scope and sensitivity of personal information exposed through modern services.Her talk doesn't just raise alarm; it calls for action. Granick suggests that while legal reform is sluggish—stymied by a lack of political will and lobbying power—there's an urgent opportunity for the technical community to step up. From encryption to data minimization and anonymization, technologists have the tools to protect civil liberties even when the law falls short.The session promises to be a wake-up call for engineers, designers, policymakers, and privacy advocates. Granick wants attendees to leave not only more informed, but motivated to build systems that limit the unnecessary collection, retention, and exposure of personal data.Her keynote also surfaces a critical cultural shift: from the “Spot the Fed” days of DEFCON to a more nuanced understanding of government roles—welcoming collaboration where it serves the public good, but not at the expense of unchecked surveillance.This conversation reframes privacy as a design problem as much as a legal one—and one that requires collective effort to address. If the law can't fix it, the question becomes: will the technology community rise to the challenge?___________Guest:Jennifer Granick, Surveillance and Cybersecurity Counsel at American Civil Liberties Union | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifergranick/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974BlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebAkamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcDropzoneAI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641Stellar Cyber: https://itspm.ag/stellar-9dj3___________ResourcesKeynote: Threat Modeling and Constitutional Law: https://www.blackhat.com/us-25/briefings/schedule/index.html#keynote-threat-modeling-and-constitutional-law-48276Learn more and catch more stories from our Black Hat USA 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/bhusa25ITSPmagazine Webinar: What's Heating Up Before Black Hat 2025: Place Your Bet on the Top Trends Set to Shake Up this Year's Hacker Conference — An ITSPmagazine Thought Leadership Webinar | https://www.crowdcast.io/c/whats-heating-up-before-black-hat-2025-place-your-bet-on-the-top-trends-set-to-shake-up-this-years-hacker-conferenceCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

In this episode of From the Crows' Nest, host Ken Miller delves into the intersection of privacy and national security with Susan Landau, the Director of the Cybersecurity Center at Tufts University.Landau testified before Congress last month calling for improved encryption as a matter of national security. She tells host Ken Miller that the modern debate over encryption and cybersecurity dates back to a cyber espionage operation run by Chinese hackers called “Salt Typhoon” that breached various parties and critical U.S. infrastructure, including wiretapping members of both the Trump and Harris presidential campaigns. Their ability to breach texts and voice messages and access databases highlighted inefficiencies in America's cybersecurity infrastructure – and the tension between protecting American citizens from cyberattacks while posing additional challenges to law enforcement agencies worldwide.To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.We also invite you to share your thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes by emailing host Ken Miller at host@fromthecrowsnest.org.

This week, Danièle speaks with Garry Shaw about who was encrypting their manuscripts, the codes they used, and the centuries of attempts to crack the Voynich Manuscript.You can support this podcast on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/medievalists

When NIST released the first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, it set off a domino effect that will hopefully result in protecting the world from the quantum computing threat. Now that we're beginning to migrate and trust our data to lattice-based cryptography, it's a good time to examine how ML-KEM works and get some hints about how to implement it well. And who better to ask than one of the coauthors of the PQC standard? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a wide-ranging chat with Joppe Bos from NXP, where they discuss the past and future of ML-KEM.  For more information on NXP, visit www.nxp.com/.  Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services  to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and Twitter: @ProtivitiTech.     Questions and comments are welcome!  Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.  The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

William Lyne of the UK's National Crime Agency joins us live at Infosecurity Europe to talk ransomware, AI threats, and the future of cybercrime disruption.When the UK's top cyber intelligence strategist sits down with you in London, you listen — and you hit record.At Infosecurity Europe 2025, the ITSPmagazine podcast team — Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin — sat down with William Lyne, Deputy Director and Head of Cyber Intelligence at the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA). This is the guy who not only leads cyber strategy for the NCA, but has also represented the UK at the FBI in the U.S. and now oversees national-level ransomware disruption efforts. It's not just a conversation — it's a rare front-row seat into how one of the world's most serious crime-fighting agencies is tackling ransomware 3.0.The message? Ransomware isn't just a cyber issue. It's a societal one. And it's evolving faster than we're prepared for — unless we change the game.“It went from niche to national threat fast,” Lyne explains. “The tools were always there. It just took a few threat actors to stitch them together.”From banking malware to fully operational cybercrime-as-a-service ecosystems, Lyne walks us through how the underground economy has industrialized. Ransomware isn't just about tech — it's about access, scale, and business models. And most importantly, it's no longer limited to elite coders or closed-door Russian-speaking forums. The barrier to entry is gone, and the dark web is wide open for business.Sean brings up the obvious: “Why does this still feel like we're always reacting?”Lyne responds: “We've shifted. We're going after the ecosystem — the people, the infrastructure, the business model — not just the payload.” That includes disrupting ransomware-as-a-service, targeting marketplaces, and yes, investing in preemptive intelligence.Marco flips the script by comparing today's cyber landscape to something deeply human. “Extortion is nothing new — we've just digitalized it. This is human behavior, scaled by tech.”From there, the conversation takes a future-facing turn. Deepfakes, AI-powered phishing, the commoditization of generative tools — Lyne confirms it's all on their radar. But he's quick to note that cybercriminals aren't bleeding-edge innovators. “They adopt when the ROI is right. But AI-as-a-service? That's coming. And it will reshape how efficient — and damaging — these threats become.”And then the real insight lands:“You can't wait to be a victim to talk to law enforcement. We may already have access to the infrastructure. The earlier we hear from you, the better we can act — and fast.”That kind of operational openness isn't something you heard from law enforcement five years ago. It signals a cultural shift — one where collaboration is not optional, it's essential.William also highlights the NCA's partnerships with private sector firms, academia, and international agencies, including the Kronos operation targeting LockBit infrastructure. These kinds of collaborations prove that when information moves, so does impact.Why does this matter?Because while most cybersecurity media gets stuck in product buzzwords and vendor hype, this is the real stuff — how ransomware groups behave, how law enforcement thinks, and how society can respond. It's not theory. It's strategy, lived on the front lines. 

AI models have a defined memory ceiling, which is reshaping the ongoing debates surrounding copyright and data privacy. Recent research from Meta, Google DeepMind, Cornell, and NVIDIA reveals that large language models have a fixed memorization capacity of approximately 8.6 bits per parameter. This finding clarifies the distinction between memorized data and generalized knowledge, indicating that larger datasets do not necessarily lead to increased memorization of specific data points. This understanding is crucial as it informs the operational mechanisms of AI models and addresses concerns related to copyright infringement.Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, has introduced the term "artificial jagged intelligence" to describe the current phase of AI development, highlighting the non-linear progress and the challenges faced by researchers despite significant advancements. Pichai's perspective reflects the mixed performance of AI models, which can exhibit extraordinary capabilities alongside notable errors. This sentiment is echoed by deep learning researcher Andrej Karpathy, emphasizing the unpredictability of AI performance and the need for a more nuanced understanding of its capabilities.The rise of AI retrieval bots is transforming how users access information online, with a significant increase in traffic from these bots. Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are deploying these bots to summarize content in real-time, moving away from traditional search methods that provide links to multiple sources. This shift poses challenges for content publishers, as the growth of retrieval bots indicates a changing economic landscape where content is increasingly consumed by AI first, with human users following. Publishers may need to rethink their engagement strategies to adapt to this new reality.In the broader context of technology and cybersecurity, WhatsApp's intervention in a legal case concerning encryption and privacy rights highlights the growing role of platforms in surveillance debates. Additionally, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency faces leadership challenges amid a talent exodus, raising concerns about its operational effectiveness. As the IT services industry evolves, the integration of AI into various sectors, including hiring and cybersecurity, underscores the importance of execution, interoperability, and trust in automation. The future of technology will depend on how well businesses can navigate these changes and support their clients in making informed decisions.  Four things to know today  00:00 AI's Jagged Reality: Study Reveals Limits to Model Memory as Bots Redefine the Web Economy05:35 Cybersecurity Crossroads: WhatsApp Joins Apple in Legal Fight as U.S. Agency Leadership Crumbles08:29 AI Matures Into Infrastructure Layer as IT Vendors Shift Focus to Outcomes and Execution11:51 Legal Tech, GenAI, and Fast Food Bots All Show One Thing: Hype Doesn't Equal Success  This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
