Traditional security systems aren’t holding up to incoming encrypted traffic anymore. The number of cyberattacks are on the rise – there were 1.5 times as many ransomware attacks in 2021 compared to 2020 with over 230 million ransomware attacks in just the first half of 2022. Attackers are clever as once they get past security systems they quickly hide their tracks and lay dormant so defenses don’t notice anything wrong. Over 70% of networks are dark space – network infrastructure such as firewalls, routers, proxies, and more meaning that once an attacker is in, they have nearly free reign within a network. This makes stopping threats before they breach a system even more important, but many legacy tools that are still in use aren’t able to handle encrypted traffic. Many IT professionals lack tools to detect, intercept, and analyze threats from encrypted sources. Many are also commonly not familiar enough with a network to be aware enough of every communications device....

MIAMI FL- 29 AUGUST: Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida gives an update on Hurricane Dorian. … [+] The media will be at the National Hurricane Center in Miami on 29 August 2019. As Hurricane Dorian approaches Florida, it is likely to reach Category 4. Photo by Eva Marie Uzcategui/Getty Images Getty Images Imagine creating a product that only works if it is limited to fewer users. This was true this past week, when Ron DeSantis announced his run for president on Twitter Spaces. The server crashed after 21 minutes and about 500,000 users were still connected. According to a report, the stream only started working when there were fewer than 250,000 users. Other reports reported that 600,000 attempted to listen in, and only around 161,000 really heard it. Consider how well this could work for other products, such as the Apple iPhone. Sure, you can buy one, but if Apple told us there was a limit on how many people could connect in your city at one time, we’d balk. How about bu...

Following UK antitrust order, Meta sells Giphy to Shutterstock for $53M after buying it for $400M Meta has finally found a willing buyer for Giphy, the animated GIF search engine it acquired for $400 million three years ago. Shutterstock announced today that it has entered into an agreement with Meta to buy Giphy in a transaction that “consists of $53 million of net cash paid at closing,” meaning Facebook’s parent company has recuperated just 13% of its money. Shutterstock said it expects the deal to close next month, with Meta also signing a commercial agreement to continue accessing Giphy’s content across its product suite. The announcement comes some seven months after the U.K.’s antitrust authority issued a final order for Meta to sell Giphy, on the grounds that the merger reduced dynamic competition. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) had originally ordered the sale way back in November, 2021, but the appeals process held things up for the better part of another ye...

FTC moves to completely prohibit Meta from monetizing kids The Federal Trade Commission alleges that Meta has “repeatedly violated” privacy rules and proposes to tighten the agency’s 2020 order against the company, completely barring it from monetizing data from anyone under 18 in any way, among other new restrictions. The order in question took effect in 2020 but was created in 2019 as part of then-Facebook’s $5 billion settlement after the company violated a previous order. Now the FTC says that Facebook/Meta has violated the new order, as well as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Rule. “The company’s recklessness has put young users at risk, and Facebook needs to answer for its failures,” said Samuel Levine, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, in a news release . (Due to the order and said failures spanning both names of the company, both are also used throughout.) The 2020 order created an independent third-party assessor who would evaluate whether ...

In no particular order. Be stingy with your time , but not with your ideas. Your past does not equal your future. Next level results are yours, when you take next level actions. All business is personal. Either do what you love or learn to love what you do. Both approaches work extremely well. To develop a new service, you do not need to reinvent the wheel. A relatively small improvement to an existing way of doing business, can open up a whole new marketplace for you. Outsmarting your competitors works best, when you’re outcaring them, too. Optimism is highly contagious. And never more so than in times of uncertainty. To be in greater demand, provide greater value. Whether a business serves the top end of the market or the bottom end, its customers always want value. A business can only be as successful as the weakest link in its leadership. Opportunities come with a use-by date. If something looks like it has potential, do the resea...

If it’s best for your customer, do it. Seriously, just do it! Because it will automatically be best for you and your business, too. What I am about to share with you is pure gold. And if you take a moment to read it, it can radically improve the success of your business. It starts with this very simple idea. You cannot develop greater value for your customer or deliver higher levels of service to your customer, without benefiting from it equally. Your customer, and your business, are one. Now I’ll explain why. There’s only us and us ! In business, when it comes to the vendor and the customer, there’s no us and them . There’s only us and us. You already know that customers are an essential part of your business. Logically, when you make things better for them, you make them better for your business, too. Your customer, and your business, are one. A common objection I get when explaining this to business owners, is a versio...

What do you think is the most common problem that business owners ask me to help them with? It’s a version of this: “Hi Jim. I need to get more sales leads (or client enquiries)”. However, in over 25 years of working with business owners, I have never met or spoken to one whose actual problem was a lack of leads. Their core ( or root ) problem is always a lot more obvious and a lot more direct. It’s THAT core problem, which needs their attention. Not more sales leads Their core problem will be a need for bigger revenues and profits, or a need for more high-value sales, or perhaps a need for more high-quality clients. That’s their actual problem. Instead, they are looking for answers to their “more leads” question. And it causes them all kinds of frustrating challenges. Their incorrect focus points them in multiple, fruitless directions. It also confines their thinking around one, solitary aspect of marketing. And it misses the...

It’s a move to clear out old accounts, but some users on social media have expressed their concerns. What happens to the accounts of people who’ve died? “We’re purging accounts that have had no activity at all for several years, so you will probably see follower count drop,” Musk tweeted on Monday . There was some backlash after the announcement. QZ reporter Scott Nover pointing out that many social media sites are “effectively digital graveyards,” noting that deleting the accounts of loved ones was “akin to removing a headstone.” Musk has made a number of changes to Twitter since he bought the platform in October 2022, including a new blue checkm...
