The Information Security Forum (ISF) announced the release of Securing the IoT: Taming the Connected World, a report that helps security professionals better understand the security implications of the Internet of Things.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has launched Cyber Essentials, an effort to assist small organizations in understanding and addressing cybersecurity risks.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating a new frontier in information security. Systems that independently learn, reason and act will increasingly replicate human behavior.
