Essential IT Reads: Insights for Professionals
Quantum-Resistant Identity Security: Compliance Challenges and Solutions
Quantum computing promises breakthroughs but threatens today’s encryption standards, putting digital identities, financial systems, and sensitive data at risk. Traditional methods like RSA and ECC may soon fail, as quantum algorithms can break them quickly. Enterprises must act now by auditing crypto systems, adopting quantum-safe methods (like NIST’s Kyber and Dilithium), and ensuring flexibility to upgrade. Governments are pushing new compliance rules, making early adoption crucial. Those who prepare will avoid costly fixes later and gain an advantage in a quantum-secure future.
AI Voice Cloning Threat Models: What CISOs Must Prepare For in 2025
AI voice cloning is no longer a future risk—it’s already a growing cybersecurity threat. Criminals are using deepfakes to impersonate leaders, steal money, spread disinformation, and bypass security systems. With 99% accuracy in voice replication, scams are increasing, and many victims remain unaware until financial or reputational damage occurs. For CISOs, defense means moving beyond detection to resilience: combining AI-powered detection, MFA, liveness checks, employee training, and stricter safeguards. Preparing now is essential, as outdated defenses won’t withstand AI-driven voice fraud.
