Zoom has announced they have rolled out a new end-to-end encryption offering. Is this a step in the right direction?

Currently, cryptographic algorithms are based on factorization. RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) algorithms are difficult to solve using traditional binary computers because the computer is forced to work through an incomprehensibly long list of probabilities. A traditional binary computer solves that mathematical problem slowly, whereas a quantum computer with an efficient algorithm can solve that problem much more quickly. Maybe a million times faster!

A new publication by cryptography experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) proposes the direction the technical agency will take to develop a more secure approach to encryption. This approach, called threshold cryptography, could overcome some of the limitations of conventional methods for protecting sensitive transactions and data.

Microsoft's Azure Security Center (ASC), which regularly searches for and researches for new attack vectors against Kubernetes workloads, revealed a new campaign that was observed recently targeting Kubeflow, a machine learning toolkit for Kubernetes.

Romania has won the 2019 European Cyber Security Challenge, a yearly event that brings together young talent from across Europe to compete in cybersecurity.

Apple has hired former U.S. Naval cryptology officer and NSA global network vulnerability analyst David Rice to serve as Global Director of Security.
