Podcasts about Touch ID

Workforce security in healthcare is no longer just about compliance—it's about creating a seamless, secure digital experience for employees and patients.  In this episode, host Sandy Vance chats with Chandramouli Dorai, Chief Evangelist - Cybersecurity Solutions and Digital Signatures at Zoho.com. Today, they will explore how password management, secure browsers, multi-factor authentication (MFA), identity and access management (IAM), and identity verification in document signing all come together to build a zero-trust, future-ready healthcare workforce.  Healthcare organizations are under constant pressure to strengthen cybersecurity without slowing down clinicians and staff.  In this episode, they talk about: Healthcare organizations face a constant challenge in balancing strong cybersecurity protections with the need for convenience and productivity. Weak and reused passwords remain one of the most common vulnerabilities across organizations, despite years of awareness efforts. The 2024 Change Healthcare cyberattack demonstrated how a single account without multi-factor authentication can lead to massive data breaches and operational disruption. Employees often disable or avoid MFA because they perceive it as adding friction to their daily workflows. Modern authentication strategies must tightly integrate password management, single sign-on, and MFA to reduce friction while improving security. Passwordless authentication methods such as passkeys, Face ID, and Touch ID are helping organizations improve both security and user experience. Organizations adopting passwordless authentication are seeing measurable reductions in login time and increased user adoption. Identity and access management platforms can enforce role-based and time-based access controls to reduce unnecessary exposure to sensitive systems. AI-powered behavioral analytics can detect suspicious login activity and help organizations respond more quickly to threats. Secure onboarding and offboarding processes are critical for protecting healthcare data and preventing unauthorized access. Many healthcare organizations still operate in complex legacy environments, making interoperability and integration essential for workforce security solutions. CIOs should approach AI adoption strategically by first understanding their current environment, educating users, and implementing changes in phases. A Little About Mouli: Chandramouli Dorai (Mouli) is the chief evangelist for cybersecurity solutions and digital signatures at Zoho Corporation. Mouli brings over 12 years of experience leading marketing and product strategy at Zoho. He carries an active interest in topics like workforce productivity, security, trust, and compliance, often sharing his thoughts and expertise on social media platforms like X and LinkedIn.  “The greatest example is the 2024 Change Healthcare breach, which happened because of one compromised account. That one account lacked multi-factor authentication, which was a loose end, and the attacker was able to get into the network and get away with millions of confidential records. The major problem is the trade-off between security and convenience.”

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Google's latest wave of announcements for Android and Gemini, the newly announced Fitbit Air, and Apple Watch Series 12 rumors.The centerpiece of Google's announcements this week was Gemini Intelligence, Google's new umbrella platform for AI across phones, watches, cars, and laptops. Its headline capability is cross-app automation: users can photograph an event flyer and ask Gemini to find tickets on Expedia, or pull up a grocery list and have it build a cart in a shopping app. A companion feature called Create My Widget lets users describe a home screen widget in natural language and have Gemini generate it, drawing from Gmail and Calendar to build a personalized dashboard.Google also unveiled the Googlebook, a new laptop category designed from the ground up around Gemini with partners including Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo arriving this fall. Gemini in Chrome for Android gained an agentic browsing layer rolling out end of June, and Android Auto received AI-generated contextual replies and DoorDash voice ordering. A Meta partnership brings Ultra HDR, native stabilization, and night mode to Instagram on Android flagship devices.In January, Apple and Google announced a partnership under which Gemini would power the next generation of Apple Foundation Models, including a more personalized Siri expected this year. Apple's equivalent cross-app ‌Siri‌ actions were announced at WWDC 2024 but have not yet shipped; Gemini Intelligence is rolling out this summer using the same underlying technology.Google also unveiled the Fitbit Air this week, a screenless fitness tracker priced at $99 that ships on May 26. The device weighs just 12 grams with the band and tracks heart rate, AFib, HRV, SpO2, and sleep stages in a pill-shaped pebble with no display, no buttons, and no notifications. Battery life lasts for seven days, with a five-minute fast charge delivering a full day of use. A Stephen Curry Special Edition is priced at $129, with core tracking free and Google Health Premium adding an AI Coach for $9.99 per month after a three-month trial.The launch accompanies a broader rebrand. The Fitbit app becomes Google Health on May 19, with Google Fit folded in, Apple Health data supported on iOS, and APIs for Garmin, Whoop, and Oura. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported earlier this year that Apple has scaled back a comparable Health+ coaching service, with the feature now unlikely to launch. The Apple Watch SE starts at $249 and requires daily charging, and the Fitbit Air's $99 price with no mandatory subscription addresses a segment Apple does not cover.We also discuss the Apple Watch Series 12, which is shaping up to be an incremental upgrade. Bloomberg's Mark Gurmansaid in March that he does not expect any major design changes, and a significant redesign is now not expected until 2028.The leaker known as Instant Digital said this week that Touch ID, which appeared in leaked Apple code last year, has been deprioritized in favor of battery life improvements. DigiTimes previously reported an eight-sensor array on the back of at least one 2026 model, though blood pressure monitoring is said to be further out. A new chip is expected, with leaked code indicating a meaningful upgrade from the S10 used across the last three series, and watchOS 27 will be previewed at WWDC on June 8. Start your business with Shopify and get everything you need to sell online and in person.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss all of the rumors surrounding Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone, now said to be called the “iPhone Ultra," which is shaping up to be a comprehensive redesign unlike anything the company has shipped before.The ‌iPhone Ultra‌ is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18 Pro‌ Max this fall, though reports suggest it will ship after the Pro models, potentially as late as December. Pricing is expected to start at over $2,000, making it the most expensive iPhone Apple has ever sold.The device will have a book-style, passport-shaped design with a 4:3 aspect ratio, wider than it is tall and unlike any foldable currently on the market. When closed, it will have a 5.5-inch outer display; when open, a 7.8-inch inner OLED panel takes over, making it just slightly smaller than the 8.3-inch iPad mini. According to design leaks from Instant Digital, the device will measure just 4.5mm thick when unfolded, which would make it Apple's thinnest iPhone to date. The outer frame is said to be made of titanium for durability at that thinness, while the inner frame uses aluminum. The back features a glass finish with a shorter, iPhone Air-style camera plateau housing two horizontally arranged rear cameras.The same leak revealed that volume buttons are relocated to the top edge of the device, aligned to the right. The inner display features a single punch-hole cutout resulting in a smaller Dynamic Island, while a Touch ID power button and Camera Control remain on the right edge. Reports indicate the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ will support iPad-style multitasking and layouts for running apps side by side when unfolded, befitting its iPad mini-sized inner display. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has described it as the "most significant overhaul in the iPhone's history."Achieving that ultra-thin form factor comes with tradeoffs, and the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ will be missing several features that iPhone users have come to expect, in some ways echoing the compromises Apple made with the iPhone Air. The ‌iPhone Air‌ went without stereo speakers, a SIM card slot, and multiple rear cameras to achieve its 5.6mm frame; the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ faces similar constraints at an even more demanding 4.5mm. The ultra-thin chassis leaves no room for a triple-lens camera setup, so the telephoto lens found on iPhone Pro models is absent, leaving just a dual 48-megapixel rear system. More significantly, there is no space for the TrueDepth sensor array required for Face ID, meaning the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ will rely on a side-button ‌Touch ID‌ module instead.Under the hood, the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ is expected to feature Apple's A20 chip paired with 12GB of RAM. Storage options are said to include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. Battery capacity is reportedly in the 5,400mAh to 5,800mAh range, which would put it among the largest ever in an iPhone despite its slim dimensions.The scale of Apple's production ambitions for the ‌iPhone Ultra‌ has already been tempered by manufacturing realities. Kuo initially indicated Apple placed orders for 15 to 20 million total foldable iPhones, though he noted demand would likely be limited due to the device's cost. By December, Kuo warned that early-stage yield and ramp-up challenges could mean smooth shipments may not occur until 2027, with potential shortages lasting through at least the end of 2026.The high asking price is expected to be a further constraint on volume: IDC projects the device will capture over 22% unit share of the foldables market in its first year, but that market remains a niche segment overall. The ‌iPhone Air‌'s underwhelming sales performance, with Kuo reporting suppliers cut production capacity by more than 80% after demand fell short of expectations, may serve as a cautionary tale for premium iPhone form-factor experiments.

Nate Gorby is back — and this time he's got two weeks of daily MacBook Neo use to report on. Coming from an M2 MacBook Air he'd already sold, Nate picked up the Neo on day one and has been using it the way most people actually use computers: browsing, email, watching YouTube, light social media, and a bit of writing. No benchmarks, no synthetic tests — just honest, real-world impressions.The guys dig into the details: battery life, the lack of MagSafe and Touch ID, the physical trackpad experience, speaker quality, the color-matched interface quirks, and whether 8GB of RAM is actually fine (spoiler: it is). They also cover WWDC 2026 dates, the 26.4 updates, and Apple's decision to discontinue the Mac Pro.In this episode:Nate's daily use case: browsing, YouTube, Threads, light writing, some photo editingThe physical trackpad vs. the haptic trackpad on his wife's M4 MacBook AirLiving without Touch ID and why Apple Watch makes it a non-issue (mostly)No backlit keyboard: why the Citrus color's white keys are a natural workaroundBattery life: good enough?Why 8GB of RAM is genuinely fineMagSafe as the one real missing pieceTarget now selling the MacBook Neo — and what that means for reaching new Mac buyersThe education discount trick (you didn't hear it from them)Speaker quality: surprisingly good for spoken wordWWDC 26 announced26.4 updates now available — keyboard improvements for iPhoneMac Pro discontinued; the Mac Studio is now the top of the lineLinks from the show:Nate's previous episode (Meta Ray-Ban glasses)Apple Announces WWDC 2026 DatesMore from Nate:Last Month Online https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/last-month-online/id1824514139Nate on Threads: https://www.threads.com/@ngorbyNate on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ngorbyQuestion or Comment?

In deze aflevering van De Schaal van Hebben test Stijn Goossens de MacBook Neo, de goedkoopste MacBook die Apple ooit heeft uitgebracht. De MacBook Neo is verkrijgbaar vanaf 599 dollar in de VS, 699 euro in Nederland. Met onderwijskorting gaat er nog eens honderd euro af. Daarmee is de Neo voor het eerst een serieuze concurrent van Windows-laptops in het middensegment, een segment dat Apple tot nu toe bewust vermeed. De ceo van Asus noemde de introductie een schok voor de markt, want Windows-laptops kampen juist met prijsstijgingen door RAM-tekorten. De MacBook Neo draait op de A18 Pro-chip, dezelfde chip als in de iPhone 16 Pro van anderhalf jaar geleden, vergelijkbaar met Mac-chips van vier à vijf jaar terug. Het werkgeheugen bedraagt 8GB, de opslag 256GB of 512GB. Het 13-inch Liquid Retina-display heeft 500 nits helderheid, maar mist P3 wide color-ondersteuning en True Tone, wat het een stapje onder de MacBook Air zet. De webcam is basic, de luidsprekers zijn acceptabel. De trackpad is mechanisch in plaats van het force-touch-model van duurdere MacBooks. Er zijn twee USB-C-poorten, waarvan één USB 3 en één USB 2. Het basismodel heeft geen Touch ID. Stijn stresstest met presentator Iwan Verrips de Neo met videobewerkingssoftware, foto-editing, een game en meerdere Chrome-tabbladen tegelijk. Wat opvalt: de MacBook Neo is de meest repareerbare MacBook die Apple ooit heeft gemaakt. De batterijduur in externe tests ligt rond de 14 uur, vergelijkbaar met de MacBook Air. De bouwkwaliteit is onverminderd MacBook-waardig ondanks de lagere prijs. De MacBook Neo is ideaal als instaplaptop voor middelbare scholieren, studenten die vooral tekst verwerken en streamen, en gebruikers die MacOS willen zonder de prijs van een MacBook Air. Apple positioneert het bewust als instap naar het eigen ecosysteem. Minder geschikt voor multitaskers, mensen die regelmatig video en foto bewerken, of wie een toekomstbestendiger apparaat zoekt: met 8GB RAM kan de Neo over vier à vijf jaar krap worden. Een MacBook Air, zeker een ouder model, blijft dan een gedegen alternatief.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Le bouton b.connect permettra-t-il d’en finir avec la plaie des mots de passe ? Cinquante milliards. C'est le nombre de mots de passe saisis chaque année en France. Un chiffre vertigineux qui illustre à lui seul l'ampleur d'un problème que chaque internaute connaît bien : oublis, réinitialisations, formulaires à rallonge et, au bout du compte, une sécurité illusoire puisque le mot de passe reste par nature rejouable et vulnérable au phishing. C'est précisément ce problème que b.connect entend résoudre. Créée à l'été 2024 par les cinq plus grands groupes bancaires français (BNP Paribas, Groupe BPCE, Crédit Agricole, Crédit Mutuel (via Euro-Information) et Société Générale), cette start-up au pedigree bancaire propose un bouton d'authentification unique, sans mot de passe, adossé aux applications que 42 millions de Français utilisent déjà pour sécuriser leurs paiements par carte. Nous avons rencontré Pierre Chassigneux, CEO de b.connect, pour comprendre les rouages de cette alternative souveraine aux social logins des géants américains. bouton b.connect : pour en finir avec le mot de pass Le bouton b.connect a pour mission de tuer le mot de passe pour entrer sur les sites marchands. Montage photo produit avec Gemini et Photoshop Du 3D Secure au bouton b.connect : infrastructure de paiement et d'identité Pierre Chassigneux n'est pas un nouveau venu dans l'écosystème de la sécurité numérique. Ingénieur de formation, passé par la Délégation générale pour l'armement (DGA) puis par la Direction centrale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information (devenue l'ANSSI) en tant que cryptologue, il a ensuite rejoint Gemplus (devenu Gemalto, puis Thales DIS), pionnier français de la carte à puce. Mais c'est surtout au cours de ses 26 années passées au sein du Groupement des Cartes Bancaires CB qu'il a forgé la conviction qui fonde b.connect. En pilotant le projet FAST'R by CB, qui a généralisé l'authentification forte (3D Secure) pour les paiements en ligne, il a mis en place une infrastructure capable de traiter plus de deux milliards d'authentifications par an. Quand on a lancé la construction du Directory Server, cette plateforme qui met en relation les clients des commerçants avec leurs banques pour les authentifier, je me suis dit : c'est une énorme infrastructure d'authentification. Est-ce qu'on ne pourrait pas l'utiliser pour sécuriser non pas uniquement le checkout, c'est-à-dire le paiement, mais aussi le check-in, c'est-à-dire l'entrée en relation ? Pierre Chassigneux, CEO de b.connect L'idée, en somme, était de réutiliser les briques technologiques éprouvées du paiement par carte pour résoudre un problème adjacent mais tout aussi massif : l'identification en ligne. Car le mot de passe, au-delà du cauchemar qu'il représente pour l'expérience utilisateur, ne vaut rien en matière de sécurité. Pierre Chassigneux le rappelle : un mot de passe est rejouable. Dès lors qu'il est intercepté par phishing, l'attaquant peut l'utiliser indéfiniment. Le moteur IA à trois cylindres du bouton b.connect Le fonctionnement de b.connect repose sur ce que le CEO de b.connect appelle un « moteur à trois cylindres », un dispositif d'intelligence artificielle qui combine trois sources de signaux pour authentifier l'utilisateur de manière transparente. Infographie basée sur cette interview réalisée par Visionary Marketing avec un outil développé par Olivier Sauvage sur Gemini Nano Banana Le premier cylindre est le device fingerprint : au moment de la première utilisation, le serveur b.connect enregistre les caractéristiques techniques de l'appareil (navigateur, version, résolution, etc.). Le deuxième cylindre repose sur les habitudes de connexion de l'utilisateur : horaires, lieux, sites fréquentés. Ces données comportementales génèrent un score transactionnel. Le troisième cylindre, enfin, est un « challenge-response intelligent » : un cookie positionné dans le navigateur échange avec le serveur pour vérifier l'authenticité de la session, sans solliciter l'utilisateur. Chacun de ces cylindres produit un score de confiance. Lorsque le score agrégé est suffisant — ce qui se produit dans environ 80 % des cas —, un seul clic sur le bouton b.connect suffit. Dans les 20 % restants, l'application d'authentification bancaire prend le relais via Face ID ou Touch ID. L'utilisateur n'est jamais renvoyé vers un mot de passe. Ce que j'ai appris dans le domaine de la cybersécurité, c'est qu'on peut avoir un très beau niveau de sécurité. Mais si la fluidité de parcours ne suit pas, le choix des utilisateurs se fait toujours au détriment de la sécurité. On avait à résoudre une équation difficile : garantir à la fois une grande fluidité et un bon niveau de sécurité. Pierre Chassigneux Données, consentement et cloud souverain La question des données personnelles est centrale dans le positionnement de b.connect. Lorsqu'un utilisateur se connecte pour la première fois sur un site partenaire, il peut choisir de transférer depuis son compte b.connect son nom, prénom, adresse e-mail et éventuellement son numéro de téléphone. Ce transfert ne s'effectue jamais sans consentement explicite. Les banques actionnaires, de leur côté, n'ont pas accès aux données de navigation de leurs clients : elles ne savent pas sur quels sites ceux-ci se connectent via b.connect. L'hébergement de la plateforme a fait l'objet d'un choix délibéré. b.connect est hébergé chez S3NS, le premier cloud de confiance certifié par l'ANSSI, co-entreprise entre Thales et Google Cloud. Des sites physiques dédiés sont implantés en France, garantissant selon Pierre Chassigneux une protection contre les lois extraterritoriales américaines, y compris le Cloud Act. « Nous considérons que nous avons fait le choix du meilleur des deux mondes : un niveau de sécurité élevé grâce à Thales, et une offre de services performante grâce à Google », résume-t-il. Un modèle économique fondé sur le retour sur investissement des e-commerçants Le bouton d'authentification b.connect est entièrement gratuit pour les utilisateurs. Pour les e-commerçants, le service est offert jusqu'à la fin de l'année 2026. À compter du 1er janvier 2027, pour les early adopters, le tarif sera d'un centime par login. Le patron de b.connect défend ce modèle en s'appuyant sur les données d'abandon de panier, un fléau bien connu du e-commerce. Il y a environ 25 % d'abandon de panier pour cause de mot de passe oublié. Il y a 70 % d'abandon au moment de la création d'un nouveau compte client, parce que c'est contraignant. Et il y a encore 15 % d'abandon au moment de l'authentification 3D Secure. Grâce à b.connect, on supprime ces frictions. Nous avons mis en place un simulateur qui permet à chaque e-commerçant de mesurer très concrètement le retour sur investissement. Pierre Chassigneux Le lien entre le check-in et le checkout constitue une particularité notable de la solution : un utilisateur qui accède à un site via b.connect et paie ensuite par carte CB bénéficie d'une probabilité réduite d'être soumis à une authentification 3D Secure supplémentaire. De 9 000 comptes à l'ambition du milliard de connexions Officiellement lancé le 17 mars 2026, après une phase bêta de 6 000 utilisateurs, b.connect comptait déjà 9 000 comptes créés au moment de notre entretien, avec un rythme de 750 créations quotidiennes. Une quinzaine d'enseignes sont partenaires du lancement : Boulanger, Leroy Merlin, Micromania, Courir, Celio, Gîtes de France, Sofinco, Libération, Ouest-France, entre autres. La force de b.connect réside dans sa capacité à s'appuyer sur la puissance de communication de ses cinq actionnaires bancaires. La promotion du service se fait directement dans les applications de banque en ligne, ce qui explique l'accélération des inscriptions. Chez Visionary Marketing, nous l'avons testé sur notre compte LCL : la création du compte a pris quelques secondes et le bouton était déjà visible dans l'application. Les ambitions de b.connect sont claires : des centaines de milliers de comptes d'ici la fin 2026, plusieurs millions en 2027, une vingtaine de millions en 2028 et un milliard de connexions à l'horizon 2030. Pour atteindre la masse critique côté e-commerçants, une plateforme d'onboarding automatisée est en cours de développement. Les tests débuteront cet été, avec une mise en production à la rentrée de septembre. L'objectif est de permettre à chacun des 140 000 sites de e-commerce français, quelle que soit leur taille, d'intégrer le bouton b.connect de manière simple et rapide. Complémentaire du portefeuille d'identité européen, concurrent des social logins américains Le règlement européen eIDAS 2.0 prévoit le déploiement d'un portefeuille d'identité numérique (EU Digital Identity Wallet) permettant de dématérialiser carte d'identité, permis de conduire ou carte grise. b.connect ne se positionne pas en concurrent de cette initiative mais en complément. Mais ici, le périmètre est différent : b.connect est un bouton de connexion, une fonction d'authentification centrée sur l'entrée en relation avec un site. Le wallet européen, lui, vise un champ d'application plus large, incluant les interactions avec l'administration et les cas d'usage nécessitant une preuve d'identité formelle. Les véritables concurrents de b.connect sont les social logins de Google, Apple et Facebook, qui captent aujourd'hui près de la moitié des connexions sur les grands sites français. Pierre Chassigneux inscrit son projet dans une logique de souveraineté numérique : « Quand il y a 50 milliards de connexions avec des logins et mots de passe chaque année, c'est un sujet d'indépendance technologique. Nous sommes fiers, grâce à la communauté bancaire, de porter une alternative souveraine, 100 % française, aux social logins des Big Tech américaines. » Un pari sur la confiance bancaire Le pari de b.connect est à la fois technologique et politique. Technologique, parce qu'il faut convaincre des dizaines de millions d'utilisateurs d'adopter un nouveau réflexe de connexion, et des dizaines de milliers de sites d'intégrer un bouton supplémentaire. Politique, parce que le projet d'authentification b.connect porte une vision de la souveraineté numérique française qui dépasse le seul cadre du e-commerce. L'analogie avec Wero, la solution de paiement instantané portée par l'Europe et les banques partenaires, est tentante : si le secteur bancaire parvient à mobiliser sa base de clients autour d'un usage quotidien, le changement d'échelle peut être rapide. Reste à transformer un lancement prometteur en standard de fait. Les mois qui viennent seront déterminants. À propos de Pierre Chassigneux Pierre Chassigneux est CEO de b.connect, société créée à l'été 2024 par les cinq plus grands groupes bancaires français. Ingénieur de formation, il a débuté sa carrière à la Délégation générale pour l'armement (DGA), puis comme ingénieur cryptologue à la Direction centrale de la sécurité des systèmes d'information (devenue l'ANSSI). Il a ensuite rejoint Gemplus (devenu Gemalto, puis Thales DIS) comme directeur de l'activité signature électronique, avant de passer plus de 26 ans au sein du Groupement des Cartes Bancaires CB, où il a occupé les postes de directeur des risques puis de directeur de la division projets et expertises. Diplômé de l'Institut des hautes études de défense nationale (IHEDN), il a notamment piloté le projet FAST'R by CB, qui a généralisé l'authentification forte pour les paiements en ligne en France. À propos de b.connect b.connect est une société française créée à l'été 2024 par BNP Paribas, Groupe BPCE, Crédit Agricole, Crédit Mutuel (via Euro-Information) et Société Générale. Elle propose un bouton d'authentification en ligne permettant aux utilisateurs de se connecter aux sites partenaires en un clic, sans mot de passe, via leur application bancaire. Le service est gratuit pour les utilisateurs et payant pour les e-commerçants (un centime par connexion à compter du 1er janvier 2027). Lancé officiellement le 17 mars 2026 après une phase bêta de 6 000 utilisateurs, b.connect est déjà intégré sur une quinzaine d'enseignes partenaires. La plateforme est hébergée en France sur le cloud de confiance S3NS (Thales/Google), certifié par l'ANSSI, et garantit la non-commercialisation des données de connexion.

Arrancamos analizando a fondo nuestra experiencia de uso con el nuevo MacBook Neo. Comentamos cómo este portátil destaca por su rompedora relación calidad-precio y su notable rendimiento gracias al chip A18 Pro, convirtiéndose en una opción ideal para el usuario medio. No obstante, también detallamos los recortes técnicos donde Apple ha ahorrado costes, como la inclusión de un trackpad mecánico en lugar de háptico, la falta de retroiluminación en el teclado, el uso de materiales más gruesos que aumentan su peso y un cable de carga sorprendentemente corto, aunque valoramos muy positivamente su gran facilidad de reparación y accesibilidad.Por otro lado, debatimos sobre el inminente 50 aniversario de la compañía y la reciente carta abierta publicada por Tim Cook. Explicamos nuestra sorpresa ante cómo Apple ha decidido ignorar casi por completo sus primeros veinticinco años de historia, omitiendo figuras clave o dispositivos clásicos para centrarse exclusivamente en su era moderna de éxitos y en nuevas estrategias de comunicación en redes sociales.Exploramos las últimas filtraciones del futuro iPhone plegable, detallando los cambios de diseño esperados, como una pantalla exterior con proporciones más achatadas, el regreso del Touch ID en el botón lateral y las adaptaciones en la interfaz de iOS para gestionar la doble pantalla sin llegar a convertirse en el ecosistema de los iPad.Luego profundizamos en el complejo panorama regulatorio y económico de las tiendas de aplicaciones, comentando la decisión de Apple de reducir sus comisiones en China del 30% al 25% debido a la presión gubernamental. Analizamos con cierto escepticismo cómo estas batallas corporativas, sumadas a los recientes acuerdos extrajudiciales de Google Play con Epic Games, imponen nuevas trabas de auditoría a los desarrolladores y rara vez se traducen en un ahorro real o en beneficios directos para los consumidores finales.Terminamos el repaso evaluando brevemente las últimas novedades del catálogo de Apple TV+, destacando la nueva experiencia interactiva en las retransmisiones de Fórmula 1.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss first impressions of the MacBook Neo, Studio DisplayXDR, and iPhone 17e.Following its announcement last week, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ arrived this week. Unlike every other Apple silicon Mac, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ is powered by the A18 Pro chip originally developed for the iPhone 16 Pro, making it the first Mac to use an iPhone-class processor instead of an M-series chip. To reach its substantially lower price point, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ makes some compromises. Unlike the MacBook Air, it does not feature keyboard backlighting, a haptic trackpad, P3 wide color, True Tone, ambient light sensing, a camera indicator LED, MagSafe charging, Thunderbolt connectivity, or a 12-megapixel camera with Center Stage, nor does it come with Touch ID as standard. It is also thicker with a slightly reduced battery life, and has larger borders around the slightly smaller display.That being said, it is $500 cheaper than a ‌MacBook Air‌ and is designed to compete with lower-cost Windows laptops and Chromebooks, while expanding the Mac lineup with a substantially more affordable option. We talk through the real-world impact of some of these compromises, including performance with the A18 Pro chip and 8GB of memory. The ‌iPhone 17e‌ retains the same design and price as the iPhone 16e but adds the A19 chip, ‌MagSafe‌ support, Apple's second-generation C1X modem, and 256GB of base storage. Apple also introduced a new ‌Studio Display‌ XDR model, replacing the Pro Display XDR. The new model offers a 27-inch 5K mini-LED panel with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR brightness up to 2,000 nits, and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. We compare both of these new products to their predecessors, as well as the ‌iPhone 17e‌ and the ‌iPhone 16‌ as the two lowest-cost iPhones on sale today.All of the newly announced devices became available to pre-order on Wednesday, March 4, with the entire lineup scheduled to launch and begin arriving to customers on Wednesday, March 11.

Apple has launched a more affordable laptop and phone If you spend a lot of your day on email, browsing the web, or in docs and spreadsheets, this is the machine for you. Designed for the 'everyday' type activities, the Macbook Neo is competing with lower-end Chromebooks and Windows PCs. It does come in one the high side of that market but has a premium feel with its all-aluminium design. This is the first time Apple has used one of its phone chips in a MacBook. It is able to connect to an external display, has two USB-C ports, and a headphone jack. There are two models – one with TouchID and one without. The only drawback is that it's missing a backlit keyboard. It comes in silver, black, and two fun colours and starts at $NZ1,149. They also launched the iPhone 17e Slightly smaller than the iPhone 17, it is missing the wide-angle lens, the 'dynamic island', and 'center stage' feature which keeps you in frame on video calls. But it does have industry leading features like the satellite SOS mode, MagSafe, and 4K video. It starts at $NZ1,199 – $500 less than the 17, $1,150 less than the 17 Pro. Anthropic has been designated a Supply Chain Risk As we talked about last week, the beef with the DOD/W has turned into the designation. But it's narrower than the department was alluding to last week – it's only preventing Anthropic from working with companies specifically in their work with the Pentagon, rather than a blanket ban across all departments. Anthropic is taking this to court. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apple enchaîne les annonces en ce début mars avec une rafale de nouveautés grand public. Ordinateurs, smartphone d'entrée de gamme et tablette polyvalente : tour d'horizon des produits et de ce qu'ils disent de la stratégie de la marque.MacBook Neo : le Mac “accessible” à 700 €Apple lance le MacBook Neo, un portable 13 pouces au châssis aluminium, pensé pour le grand public et surtout pour les étudiants. Affiché à partir de 700 €, il mise sur une puce A18 Pro (issue de l'univers iPhone) pour privilégier l'efficacité énergétique et une autonomie annoncée autour d'une journée en usage standard.En configuration de base, on trouve 8 Go de RAM et 256 Go de stockage, avec une montée à 512 Go. La connectique reste minimaliste (deux ports USB-C et une prise casque) et certaines fonctions sont réservées aux versions supérieures (comme le Touch ID sur la déclinaison 512 Go, selon les informations évoquées dans l'épisode). Apple met aussi en avant des coloris plus “jeunes”, et une remise étudiante visant clairement le monde de l'éducation.MacBook Air et MacBook Pro : la puce M5 partoutPas de révolution esthétique, mais une mise à jour musclée : le MacBook Air passe à la puce M5, avec des promesses de gains en performances, en graphisme et en traitements liés à l'IA locale, ainsi qu'une réactivité accrue (sortie de veille quasi instantanée, selon Apple). L'appareil conserve son positionnement : ultraportable, silencieux, sans refroidissement mécanique.Sur la gamme pro, les MacBook Pro adoptent les déclinaisons M5 Pro et M5 Max, destinées aux usages intensifs : montage vidéo, 3D, compilation, développement et exécution de modèles d'IA en local. Une tendance de fond se dessine : faire tourner davantage de calculs “sur la machine”, plutôt que d'envoyer systématiquement tout vers le cloud.iPhone 17e : entrée de gamme, mais pas au rabaisApple ajoute un modèle plus abordable à sa gamme avec l'iPhone 17e. Au programme : puce A19, compatibilité MagSafe, connectivités modernisées (5G, Wi-Fi) et un design ajusté (bordures plus fines, nouveau coloris). Surtout, le stockage de base passe à 256 Go, sans hausse de prix annoncée par rapport au modèle précédent, autour de 720 € dans l'épisode.L'angle est clair : un iPhone “d'accès” qui conserve l'essentiel, sans les raffinements photo/vidéo des versions les plus premium, tout en restant prêt pour l'IA embarquée… même si Apple doit encore concrétiser sa promesse sur ce terrain.iPad Air M4 : l'iPad polyvalent se rapproche du ProL'iPad Air évolue lui aussi avec l'arrivée de la puce M4, rapprochant ses performances de celles d'un iPad Pro. Apple maintient sa recette : une tablette “à tout faire”, aussi à l'aise en divertissement qu'en productivité avec clavier et stylet.Deux tailles sont proposées (11 et 13 pouces), avec du Wi-Fi 7 et une option 5G. Le but : couvrir aussi bien l'usage “canapé” que les usages plus sérieux en mobilité, dans la lignée de l'iPad-ordinateur que la marque tente de pousser depuis des années.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

MacBook Neo cuesta 599 dólares y usa chip A18 Pro en apuesta educativa masivaPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoApple presentó el MacBook Neo como su portátil más económico. Parte desde 599 dólares y 499 dólares para estudiantes. Usa el chip A18 Pro del iPhone y promete hasta 16 horas de batería. Llega con 8 GB de memoria y 256 GB de almacenamiento. La pregunta es: ¿es una ganga real o un anzuelo para entrar al ecosistema?Apple decidió entrar de frente al terreno de los portátiles de 599 dólares. Lo hizo con el nuevo MacBook Neo. Es un equipo de 13 pulgadas, con pantalla Liquid Retina de 2.408 por 1.506 píxeles y brillo de 500 nits. Pesa 1,2 kilogramos y mide 1,27 centímetros de grosor. Tiene dos puertos USB-C, con una diferencia incómoda: uno es USB 3 de hasta 10 gigabits por segundo y el otro es USB 2 de 480 megabits por segundo.El procesador es el A18 Pro, el mismo que usa el iPhone 16 Pro. Viene con 8 GB de memoria unificada y 256 GB de almacenamiento en su versión base. La batería promete hasta 16 horas de reproducción de video y 11 horas de navegación web. El precio oficial es 599 dólares, y con descuento educativo baja a 499 dólares.Apple afirma que es hasta 50 por ciento más rápido en tareas cotidianas que el portátil más vendido con Intel Core Ultra 5, según pruebas con el benchmark Speedometer. Pero aquí viene la pregunta: ¿estamos ante un nuevo estándar de valor o ante un Mac recortado con buen marketing?Un Mac accesible… con recortesApple no solía competir en esta franja. El MacBook Air más reciente con chip M5 parte desde 1.099 dólares. El salto hasta 599 dólares es grande. La diferencia son 500 dólares. Eso cambia el público. Ahora hablamos de estudiantes, familias y personas que antes miraban un Chromebook o un portátil con Windows.El MacBook Neo mantiene el chasis de aluminio. Se siente como un Mac. Viene en colores como Citrus, Blush, Indigo y plata. Esa decisión recuerda al iBook G3 de principios de los años 2000. Apple está enviando un mensaje: este es el Mac juvenil.La pantalla conserva buena resolución y brillo. Tiene cámara de 1080p. Tiene altavoces con Dolby Atmos. Pero empiezan los ajustes: el teclado no tiene retroiluminación. El trackpad es mecánico, no háptico. Solo admite un monitor externo en 4K a 60 hercios. No tiene puerto MagSafe. Y el Touch ID solo aparece en el modelo de 512 GB que cuesta 699 dólares.Apple no está escondiendo que hubo concesiones. Está diciendo que el precio lo justifica. ¿Te parece suficiente?Aquí está el punto delicado. El MacBook Neo usa un chip de iPhone, no un chip de la serie M. Eso rompe la lógica que Apple venía construyendo desde 2020, cuando migró todos sus Mac a Apple Silicon con arquitectura pensada para computadores.El A18 Pro tiene seis núcleos de CPU. Dos de alto rendimiento y cuatro de eficiencia. Tiene cinco núcleos de GPU y soporte para trazado de rayos. En tareas ligeras como navegar, escribir y ver video, va a rendir bien. Pero en edición de video 4K, en modelado 3D o en grandes proyectos de programación, puede quedarse corto frente a un MacBook Air con chip M.Además, los 8 GB de memoria son el límite. No hay opción de 16 GB. En 2026, muchos usuarios ya consideran 8 GB como el mínimo justo. Si abres muchas pestañas, videollamadas y apps al mismo tiempo, vas a notar presión en el sistema.Otro detalle: solo uno de los puertos USB-C es USB 3. El otro es USB 2. Eso significa que puedes conectar un monitor o tener transferencia rápida, pero no todo a la vez con la misma velocidad. Para un equipo pensado para estudiantes, puede ser suficiente. Para alguien que quiere crecer con el equipo, puede sentirse limitado.Entonces surge la duda real: ¿es una puerta de entrada inteligente o una forma de segmentar más el mercado para empujar después al usuario hacia modelos más caros?Apple no improvisó este movimiento. El mercado de portátiles económicos estaba dominado por Chromebook y por equipos Windows de menos de 700 dólares. Muchos de ellos ofrecen buena batería y rendimiento aceptable. Lo que Apple aporta aquí es construcción premium, integración con iPhone y acceso completo a macOS Tahoe.El MacBook Neo permite copiar y pegar entre iPhone y Mac. Permite usar apps del ecosistema. Está preparado para Apple Intelligence. Eso significa que Apple quiere que el usuario joven entre al ecosistema temprano y luego, cuando necesite más potencia, suba a un Air o a un Pro.Desde el punto de vista estratégico, tiene lógica. Desde el punto de vista técnico, hay límites claros. Si eres estudiante que escribe, navega y hace trabajos en la nube, este equipo puede ser suficiente durante varios años. Si eres creador de contenido, diseñador o desarrollador exigente, probablemente vas a necesitar un modelo con chip M y más memoria.El precio de 599 dólares lo convierte en el Mac más accesible de la historia en lanzamiento oficial. Eso cambia la conversación. Pero también redefine qué entendemos por “Mac completo”.La decisión final no es emocional. Es práctica. ¿Qué vas a hacer con él todos los días?El lanzamiento ocurrió junto a otros anuncios como el iPhone 17e y los nuevos MacBook Pro con chip M5 Pro y M5 Max. El contraste es fuerte. Mientras el Neo baja a 599 dólares, el MacBook Pro de 16 pulgadas puede superar los 7.000 dólares en configuraciones altas.El Neo pesa 1,2 kilogramos. Es el mismo peso que el MacBook Air. Su batería es de 36,5 vatios hora. Apple afirma hasta 16 horas de video. Esa cifra suele medirse en condiciones controladas, con brillo moderado y aplicaciones optimizadas. En uso real puede variar.En Reino Unido y la Unión Europea, el cargador no viene incluido en la caja. Solo el cable USB-C. En Estados Unidos sí incluye adaptador de 20 vatios. Ese detalle reduce costos logísticos y ambientales, pero también puede generar molestias.El descuento educativo baja el precio a 499 dólares. Eso lo pone en territorio de iPad Air. Apple está compitiendo contra su propio catálogo. Si alguien duda entre un iPad con teclado y un MacBook Neo, ahora la diferencia es menor.Y algo más: solo soporta un monitor externo. Para quien usa dos pantallas, esto es un límite concreto. No es un detalle menor.Todo esto configura un producto atractivo, pero muy medido. Apple calculó cada concesión.El MacBook Neo abre la puerta de entrada al ecosistema Mac desde 599 dólares. Ofrece buen diseño y rendimiento suficiente para tareas básicas. Tiene límites claros en memoria y puertos. Antes de comprar, revisa qué uso real le vas a dar.Cuéntame qué opinas y sígueme en Flash Diario.Resumen para TikTok (20 palabras)MacBook Neo cuesta 599 dólares, usa chip de iPhone y apunta a estudiantes.

Apple heeft vandaag een opvallend goedkope laptop gepresenteerd: de MacBook Neo, vanaf 699 euro. Dat is een primeur, want nog nooit bracht Apple een MacBook uit onder de duizend euro. In plaats van een M-chip, zoals in de MacBook Air en Pro, gebruikt de Neo de A18 Pro uit de iPhone 16 Pro. Voor 699 euro krijg je een 13 inch laptop met 8GB werkgeheugen en 256GB opslag. De 512GB-versie kost 799 euro en krijgt ook TouchID in het toetsenbord. Wie inlevert op prijs, levert ook in op specs. MagSafe, Thunderbolt en toetsenbordverlichting ontbreken. Er zitten twee usb-c-poorten op, er wordt geen lader meegeleverd en de accuduur van 16 uur ligt iets lager dan de 18 uur van de MacBook Air. Het toestel is er in vier kleuren: zilver, indigo, roze en citrusgroen. Apple mikt duidelijk op studenten en scholieren, het segment waar Chromebooks en betaalbare Windows-laptops tot nu toe domineren. Opvallende timing ook: techproducten worden de komende tijd naar verwachting juist duurder, door krapte op de markt voor geheugenchips. De MacBook Neo is vandaag te bestellen en wordt vanaf 11 maart geleverd. BNR test hem binnenkort mogelijk ook in De Schaal van Hebben. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rejoignez la communauté iWeek et soutenez-nous sur patreon.com/iweek !Voici l'épisode 260 d'iWeek (la semaine Apple).L'iPhone Fold se dévoile et nos souhaits pour 2026Enregistré en streaming, mardi 6 janvier 2026 à 18h30, enregistrement accessible en direct pour nos soutiens Patreon.Présentation : Fabrice Neuman, avec Élie Abitbol et un passage éclair de Benjamin Vincent depuis le CES de Las Vegas.Au sommaire de cet épisode 260 :Retour sur…Le Japon ouvre la voie pour les magasins d'applications alternatifsUne nouvelle loi japonaise, le Mobile Software Competition Act (MSCA), oblige Apple et Android à autoriser des app stores tiers — mais sans imposer le sideloading. Résultat, Apple est bien plus favorable à ce règlement japonais qu'au DMA européen.L'iPhone Fold se précise — design, prix, technologieLes rumeurs autour de l'iPhone pliant se précisent : un format “livre” de 5,4 pouces plié, 7,6 à 7,8 pouces déplié — proche de l'iPad mini. Pas de Face ID, mais un Touch ID intégré au bouton d'alimentation. La charnière pourrait utiliser du “Liquid Metal” ou du titane pour la solidité. L'écran, fourni par Samsung, pourrait ne laisser aucune trace de pliure une fois déployé. À quel prix ?“S'il te plaît, Apple !”Fabrice et Élie partagent leurs envies pour Apple en 2026 : un renouvellement de la gamme Apple d'écrans externes, une tablette ou une montre à encre électronique, une Apple Watch avec une autonomie de plusieurs jours, et le retour des routeurs AirPort. Ils critiquent aussi la perte d'innovation chez Apple, attribuée à une gestion trop financière sous Tim Cook, et appellent à un retour à l'esprit visionnaire des débuts — avec un CEO plus créatif et à l'écoute des utilisateurs.Et le bonus réservé à nos soutiens Patreon: Du Wi-Fi vraiment plus rapide après une simple mise à jour logicielle ?

En este episodio de Applelianos, desglosamos la filtración masiva sobre el iPhone plegable de Apple que podría llegar en septiembre de 2026. Descubrimos los detalles más esperados: una pantalla interna de 7,58 pulgadas con cámara bajo la pantalla, una externa de 5,25 pulgadas, y el regreso del Touch ID para mantener el dispositivo ultrafino. Además, Apple habría resuelto el problema de la arruga en la pantalla y estaría usando una bisagra extremadamente resistente para garantizar la durabilidad. El sistema de cámaras promete una calidad superior con sensores de 48 megapíxeles, y todo apunta a que el diseño será tan delgado que superará a la competencia en portabilidad y estética. https://seoxan.es/crear_pedido_hosting Codigo Cupon "APPLE" PATROCINADO POR SEOXAN Optimización SEO profesional para tu negocio https://seoxan.es https://uptime.urtix.es PARTICIPA EN DIRECTO Deja tu opinión en los comentarios, haz preguntas y sé parte de la charla más importante sobre el futuro del iPad y del ecosistema Apple. ¡Tu voz cuenta! ¿TE GUSTÓ EL EPISODIO? ✨ Dale LIKE SUSCRÍBETE y activa la campanita para no perderte nada COMENTA COMPARTE con tus amigos applelianos SÍGUENOS EN TODAS NUESTRAS PLATAFORMAS: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Applelianos Telegram: https://t.me/+Jm8IE4n3xtI2Zjdk X (Twitter): https://x.com/ApplelianosPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/applelianos Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/39QoPbO

A Apple voltou a pensar no Touch ID, e ainda não quer largar o osso da capinha tramada.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we talk through what to expect from the Apple Watch SE 3, Series 11, and Ultra 3, and whether it's worth holding off on an upgrade until next year. The third-generation ‌Apple Watch SE‌ is rumored to feature a larger display (perhaps like the Apple Watch Series 7), the S11 chip, and potentially a plastic casing. It could also available at a slightly lower price point. The Apple Watch Series 11 will likely feature the S11 chip, 5G RedCap connectivity on cellular models, a "Sleep Score" feature, and potentially hypertension detection. The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is rumored to also get all of these new features, as well as a slightly larger wide-angle OLED display with a faster refresh rate, and satellite connectivity. Earlier this week, internal Apple code revealed that the 2026 Apple Watch lineup is poised to get some major enhancements. The new devices will feature Touch ID for biometric authentication, a redesigned chip based on newer CPU technology for improved performance, a revamped design with a new rear sensor array, and more.

In this episode, Tyler walks through how multi-user accounts work on macOS—why you might use them, how to add a new user, ways to switch quickly (including Touch ID), and how to safely delete an account while preserving data for troubleshooting. He also covers guest access, account types (Administrator, Standard, and Sharing Only), and a few accessibility tips with VoiceOver.Key PointsWhy multi-user: Separate files, settings, and Apple Account sync per person; great for shared Macs or isolating issues by testing in a fresh account.Account types: Administrator can change system settings and install software.Standard has its own files/settings but cannot administer the Mac.Sharing Only can access shared services remotely but cannot log in at the Mac.Guest user: If FileVault is on, Guest can only use Safari; if off, Guest can use apps but all data is wiped on logout.Fast User Switching: Add the menu-bar item via Control Center settings (listed as “Menu Bar” in macOS Tahoe per the recording timeframe), then switch from the status menu.Touch ID switching: Register different fingers per account to jump between users instantly—even from the lock screen.Deleting an account: Three options—(1) save home folder as a disk image under Deleted Users, (2) don't change the home folder, or (3) delete the home folder.Troubleshooting tip: You can preserve your home folder, delete the account, then recreate it with the same account name to merge and reset settings—handy if issues are account-specific.Shared folder caveat: The /Users/Shared folder defaults to read/write for creator and read-only for others; permissions can be finicky, and other sharing methods may be easier.Step-by-Step GuideCreate a New User Open System Settings > Users & Groups, and click Add User…Pick an Account Type (Administrator, Standard, or Sharing Only). Standard is the default.Enter Full Name; Account Name (home folder name) will auto-fill. Set a Password and optional Hint, then click Create User.First Login & Touch ID Log out of your account, select the new user, and sign in.In Setup Assistant, the user can enroll Touch ID with their finger.Enable Fast User Switching (Menu Bar) Go to System Settings > Control Center (labeled “Menu Bar” in future macOS versions relative to the time of recording).Find Fast User Switching and set it to Show (e.g., show Account Name). Then use the status menus to switch users.Switch Between Users Instantly From the menu bar via Fast User Switching, or with Touch ID, a user can press the sensor with the finger registered to their account (works at the lock screen once accounts have been logged into).Share Files Between Accounts (Optional) Use /Users/Shared; creator has read/write, others read-only by default. Adjust permissions via Get Info if needed—but expect some Unix permission quirks.Delete a User Safely In Users & Groups, click the "Show detail" button for an account, click Delete User, and choose what to do with the Home folder.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by…

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we catch up on all of the latest rumors about Apple's first foldable iPhone amid a multitude of reports about the device and its launch firming up for next year. Apple's foray into foldable smartphones has been rumored for many years, but it looks like the rumors will finally come to fruition next year. Full-scale prototyping of the device reportedly began last month, Samsung has begun production on the OLED displays destined for the foldable, and it is now believed to be on track to reach launch alongside the iPhone 18lineup in 2026. The first foldable ‌iPhone‌ is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch outer display, a unique hinge system, two rear cameras (wide and ultra wide), one front-facing camera, and a Touch ID power button instead of Face ID. It is likely to be 4.5mm when unfolded, and between 9mm and 9.5mm when folded. For comparison, the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 4.2mm when unfolded, and 8.9mm when folded. It also features three rear cameras, instead of Apple's anticipated two. However, Apple is apparently seeking to outdo Samsung with a "crease-free" display thanks to an innovative design that uses a metal plate to disperse and control the stress generated by bending the display. This would be an industry first. It is expected to cost $1,800 to $2,000. Samsung's new Galaxy Z Fold 7 starts at $1,999.99. Take control of your finances with Copilot Money.

In this On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Sean Martin connects with event speaker, Wojciech Dworakowski, to unpack a critical and underexamined issue in today's financial systems: the vulnerability of mobile-only banking apps when it comes to transaction authorization.Wojciech points out that modern banking has embraced the mobile-first model—sometimes at the cost of fundamental security principles. Most banks now concentrate transaction initiation, security configuration, and transaction authorization into a single device: the user's smartphone. While this offers unmatched convenience, it also creates a single point of failure. If an attacker successfully pairs their phone with a victim's account, they can bypass multiple layers of security, often without needing traditional credentials.The discussion explores the limitations of relying solely on biometric options like Face ID or Touch ID. These conveniences may appear secure but often weaken the overall security posture when used without additional independent verification mechanisms. Wojciech outlines how common attack strategies have shifted from stealing credit card numbers to full account takeover—enabled by social engineering and weak device-pairing controls.He proposes a “raise the bar” strategy rather than relying on a single silver-bullet solution. Suggestions include enhanced device fingerprinting, detection of emulators or rooted environments, and shared interbank databases for device reputation and account pairing anomalies. While some of these are already in motion under new EU and UK regulations, they remain fragmented.Wojciech also introduces a bold idea: giving users a slider in the app to adjust their personal balance of convenience vs. security. This kind of usability-driven approach could empower users while still offering layered defense.For CISOs, developers, and FinTech leaders, the message is clear—evaluate your app security as if attackers already know the shortcuts. Watch the full conversation to hear Wojciech's real-world examples, including a cautionary tale from his own family. Catch the episode and learn how to design financial security that's not just strong—but usable.GUEST: Wojciech Dworakowski | OWASP Poland Chapter Board Member and Managing Partner at SecuRing | https://www.linkedin.com/in/wojciechdworakowski/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESLearn more and catch more stories from OWASP AppSec Global 2025 Barcelona coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/owasp-global-appsec-barcelona-2025-application-security-event-coverage-in-catalunya-spainCatch 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?
