The Digital World Is Changing Rapidly. Your Cybersecurity Needs to Keep Up. In 2022 alone, a total of 4,100 publicly disclosed data breaches occurred, comprising some 22 billion records that were exposed. All this despite the fact that organizations around the world spent a record-breaking $150 billion on cybersecurity in 2021. Software itself is changing, too. The rise of artificial intelligence in general, and generative AI in particular, is fundamentally altering the way companies use software. The increasing use of AI is, in turn, making software’s attack surfaces more complicated and software itself more vulnerable. How, then, should companies go about securing their software and data? What companies aim to achieve from their security programs must evolve, just as the way that companies’ use of data and software has evolved.

WorkWorkWorkOklahoma Schools Need 55,000 Bibles. Trump-Endorsed Book Fits the Bill.About 20 million copies of the Bible are sold each year in the United States, and some printed versions are available for under $5. But each copy of Mr. Greenwood’s Bible includes a handwritten version of the chorus of his song “God Bless the U.S.A.,” a frequent anthem at Trump rallies. It also includes copies of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance. And it is bound in brown leather. WorkIt's Not World War III. But Foreign Conflicts May Get Uglier Before Election Day.Nonetheless, it could look very violent, and very scary, undergirding Trump’s warnings about global upheaval. A direct conflict with Iran, which is among the most powerful forces in the region, could easily inflame the long-running debate about why President Biden is sending thousands more American forces, along with aircraft carriers, squadrons of fighter jets and amphibious assault ships to the region. WorkWorkBiden Will Allow Legal Permission to Lapse for Migrants From 4 CountriesThe change highlights the long-term challenges of programs that never offered a permanent path to remaining in the United States.

WorkWorkWorkU.S. Conducts Strikes Against Houthis in YemenThe latest strikes by the United States come as tensions in the Middle East have risen significantly following Israel’s killing of Mr. Nasrallah, its expanded operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon and an escalating conflict with Iran, which launched a salvo of about 200 missiles at Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for the assassinations of some of its proxy groups’ leaders. WorkOpinion | The One Thing Not Named Trump That Trump Cares AboutA little less obvious is the extent to which mass deportation would plunge the United States into economic darkness. According to a new report from the nonpartisan American Immigration Council, a mass deportation plan designed to expel 13.3 million undocumented immigrants over about 10 years would crash the economy, immiserate millions of Americans and siphon nearly $1 trillion from the federal government. WorkFisker faces more bad news as the SEC starts investigating its business practicesFisker has been struggling to keep its head above water ever since last year’s disastrous rollout of its Ocean SUV that failed to score more than a few thousands sellers even though it produced well over 10,000 units.

WorkEU court rules social networks can't use personal data foreverThe EU and Meta along with other big tech companies like Apple and Google have tangled over the use of personal data in relation to the Digital Markets Act.

The company says there are more than 40 million young adults on Facebook in the US and Canada, a number that’s “the highest it’s been in more than 3 years.” But that’s still a relatively small percentage of its total users in the region and an even tinier slice of its users overall.
