Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
FOCAL POINT is an independent online B2B cyber news magazine published by Tanium, the platform of choice to manage complex security and technology environments. We serve a readership of enterprise owners, C-suite executives and security leaders interested in compelling thought leadership and news analysis. Our writers are experienced, award-winning journalists with a passion for tech and creative storytelling.
David Rand, one of Focal Point’s hardest-working reporters, looked at three key tech innovations this year. His analysis of ChatGPT and generative AI, which has revolutionized cybercrime, lowering the bar and making it much easier for even amateur hackers to pull off cyberattacks, was one of the first articles to provide a balanced look at both the fears and the ways in which AI will help security teams fend off such attacks.
His story on quantum computing does a nice job of explaining what the heck quantum is, and the sector most at risk (finance, given that quantum tech will soon be able to defeat the cryptographic algorithms that banks use to protect sensitive data). The piece also offers specific steps finance execs can take now to start preparing for the coming quantum era.
His take on ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) also offers defensive tips for enterprise owners—and just in time. This business model is fueling a spike in ransomware attacks, as cyber gangs now carry out their business with the kind of precision and bespoke services that would make a Wharton professor proud.
