Podcasts about Sophos

En un contexto donde la sofisticación de los ataques obliga a reforzar las defensas, Sophos presenta MSP Elevate, un programa diseñado para que los proveedores de servicios gestionados eleven su oferta en ciberseguridad con soluciones exclusivas, optimización operativa y recompensas por crecimiento.

The European Vulnerability Database (EUVD) has officially launched, providing a vital platform for monitoring critical security flaws amid challenges faced by the U.S. in cybersecurity funding and management. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and deliver essential information on vulnerabilities, addressing gaps left by the U.S. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures program, which has been hindered by budget cuts and operational delays. The EUVD not only identifies disclosed bugs but also offers real-time updates on critical vulnerabilities, ensuring users have access to the latest security risk information.As the EUVD begins operations, it highlights a strategic divergence in cybersecurity approaches between the EU and the U.S., which could have direct implications for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their clients. If U.S. vulnerability reporting continues to decline, there may be a shift towards EUVD as a primary source for global security tooling and threat feeds. This would necessitate a reevaluation of the sources used for threat detection and patch prioritization by providers, especially if vendor feeds start integrating EUVD data more directly.In the realm of artificial intelligence, tech executives are increasingly adopting agentic AI, with nearly half of respondents in a recent survey indicating they have begun implementing such systems. However, despite the enthusiasm, many organizations are struggling to achieve significant returns on their AI investments, with only a small percentage reporting successful scaling of AI initiatives. The disconnect between ambition and execution presents an opportunity for IT service providers to bridge the gap and help organizations effectively deploy AI solutions.Additionally, product-related news highlights the launch of new tools aimed at enhancing cybersecurity and operational efficiency for MSPs. Coro has introduced a Security Awareness Training module to combat phishing attacks, while Sophos has launched a program to help MSPs expand their cybersecurity offerings. FlexPoint and StackPak have also secured funding to enhance their platforms, focusing on automating payment processes and improving vendor management, respectively. These developments underscore the growing importance of AI-driven operational tools and the need for MSPs to deepen their involvement in their clients' business operations. Four things to know today 00:00 Europe Launches Public Vulnerability Database as U.S. Transparency Falters04:29 Despite Bold Claims on Agentic AI, Most Firms Struggle to Scale—AT&T's Open-Source Model Stands Out07:56 From Phishing Defense to AI Payments: Vendors Equip MSPs to Tackle Operational Complexity11:26 Overpatching May Be a Bigger Risk Than Underpatching, Gartner VP Warns Supported by:  https://afi.ai/office-365-backup/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Slide, a new backup and disaster recovery appliance designed for managed service providers, was introduced by former Datto founders Austin McCord and Michael Fass at the right-of-boom cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. The appliance, which is slightly larger than an Apple Mac Studio, boasts a storage capacity of up to 16 terabytes and operates at speeds capable of saturating a 10-gigabit network connection. McCord emphasized the appliance's speed and efficiency, claiming it is significantly faster than existing market solutions. The founders aim to foster a culture of connection and support, allowing users to easily cancel their service with a single click, which they view as a reflection of a customer-centric philosophy.Apple has unveiled its first in-house cellular modem, the C1, which will debut in the iPhone 16E, marking a significant step away from reliance on Qualcomm chips. The C1 modem is touted as the most power-efficient modem ever included in an iPhone, promising reliable 5G connectivity. While the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro will continue to use Qualcomm technology for the time being, Apple is strategically testing the C1 modem in a budget model to assess its performance without risking issues for premium users. This move aligns with Apple's broader goal of controlling its hardware stack and optimizing performance across its devices.In the realm of artificial intelligence, xAI has launched Grok 3, a new model that boasts enhanced capabilities and has been trained on a significantly larger dataset. Grok 3 has achieved impressive scores on various benchmarks, including math performance, and features a deep search capability that enhances its reasoning. However, early testing has revealed some limitations, such as citation accuracy and humor comprehension. The company plans to open-source Grok 2 to address previous criticisms regarding biases, while also introducing a new subscription plan for Grok 3.Lastly, the podcast discusses potential acquisition talks surrounding Trend Micro, a Japanese cybersecurity firm, which is reportedly valued at approximately $8.54 billion. The discussions involve several private equity firms, and if the acquisition goes through, it could lead to significant changes in Trend Micro's product roadmap and support structure. Additionally, Sophos has announced a partnership with Pax8 to streamline security management for service providers, indicating a trend towards consolidating vendor relationships in the cybersecurity space. This partnership aims to simplify access to a wide range of security solutions, although it remains to be seen whether Sophos can effectively compete with existing offerings in the marketplace. Four things to know today 00:00 Cancel Anytime with One Click?

At Open Compute Summit this past week, key trends shaping the future of computing and infrastructure were discussed. One major concern is the global data center energy consumption, which is projected to triple by 2030, highlighting the urgent need for more efficient energy solutions. As technology advances, the shift from a 3nm process to a 2nm process is proving costly, with design costs estimated to reach a staggering $725 million, according to ARM. In response to both power demands and design challenges, liquid cooling is gaining momentum, emerging as a vital technology to improve efficiency and manage the increasing heat output from advanced computing systems.

In the latest episode of Tech Talks Daily, I bring you an insightful conversation with Andy Bradshaw, CEO of SHL, the global leader in HR technology and psychometric science.  As AI continues to reshape the workforce in 2024, Andy's expertise couldn't be more timely or relevant. With over 25 years of experience in technology and service businesses, including renowned companies like Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, and Sophos, Andy brings a unique perspective to the table. His passion for leveraging human insights to enhance business and individual performance shines through in this engaging discussion. The episode kicks off with Andy explaining SHL's remarkable transformation into a talent intelligence powerhouse. He reveals how the company now leverages an astounding 45 billion data points across 150 countries to provide unparalleled workforce insights. As the conversation unfolds, Andy delves into the critical importance of early career recruitment in today's global talent shortage. He offers valuable strategies for tackling this challenge, emphasizing the need for organizations to recognize recruitment as a two-way process and focus on potential and motivation rather than just specific job skills. One of the most fascinating segments of the interview explores the power of internal mobility in solving critical talent problems. Andy shares eye-opening statistics on the increased filling of internal roles post-pandemic and discusses the numerous benefits this approach brings to both employers and employees. The discussion then shifts to a fresh perspective on hiring tech talent, with Andy advocating for looking beyond skills to focus on durable "soft" or "human" skills. He introduces SHL's identification of 11 key human skills for early career success, explaining how this approach allows for future job flexibility and can help reduce salary inflation for niche skills. Andy talks about how organizations are moving from talk to action, setting concrete targets, and using independent data sources to reduce bias in hiring and talent management processes. The conversation concludes with an exploration of AI's role in recruitment. Andy outlines how SHL integrates AI into assessment products, candidate experience, and big data interpretation while emphasizing the importance of transparent and ethical AI use.

It is important to have a lawyer assist with a separation agreement to safeguard your legal rights, including the right to honest financial disclosure from the other party. Most couples choose a no-fault divorce, which allows them to end their marriage without proving any wrongdoing. However, factors such as career choices, parenting differences, division of household labor, relationships with family and friends, finances, and health choices can still lead to conflict. According to a Forbes Advisor survey, the most significant conflicts for divorced couples were career choices (46%) and parenting differences (43%).   Jonathan D. Steele has had a successful legal career, starting at Nadler, Pritikin & Mirabelli LLC, and later moving to Beermann LLP. He has been recognized as a Rising Star by Illinois Super Lawyers magazine, an honor given to less than 2.5% of attorneys under 40 in the state. He has also been designated as an Emerging Lawyer by Leading Lawyers magazine, an accolade given to fewer than 2% of Illinois attorneys annually. This recognition underscores his expertise in family law and his exceptional professional achievement. In addition to his courtroom successes, Jonathan possesses a strong understanding of the Illinois Supreme Court rules and the Rules of Civil Procedure, as well as technical proficiency in legal practice that equips him to handle complex legal challenges. His areas of expertise include advanced trial advocacy, a deep understanding of the rules of evidence, and specialized knowledge in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, Domestic Violence Act, and the Stalking No Contact Order Act. Jonathan places a high priority on the privacy and security of his clients, integrating cutting-edge digital protection strategies to safeguard sensitive information—a critical asset in today's interconnected world. Outside the courtroom, Jonathan is committed to community service, offering pro bono legal aid through JUF Community Legal Services and contributing to medical research initiatives as a board member of the Medical Research Junior Board Foundation at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.   Transitioning from law to cybersecurity, Jonathan has spent years researching all aspects of cybersecurity and privacy. He has become well-versed in the Sophos ecosystem, setting up MDM solutions across a fleet of iOS devices, configuring next-gen enterprise-grade Sophos XG firewalls for home use, and setting up Synology NAS solutions for self-hosting calendar solutions, surveillance systems, photo storage, and video hosting. He is proficient in ZTNA and VPN setup and configuration, end-to-end encrypted solutions, privacy-respecting software and hardware solutions, and compartmentalization strategies. His expertise also extends to multifactor authentication, setup and management of self-hosted IDP solutions, custom DNS filtering and configuration, website setup, configuration, security and management, and macOS, Windows, iOS setup and configuration to enhance security and privacy. He joined me this week to tell me more.   For more information, visit: https://www.steelefamlaw.com/
