 The internet is an integral part of our daily lives—from starting a business to learning new skills and pursuing passions—the internet caters to every individual’s needs. However, the WWW we know to be an ocean of information is merely 10% of the internet. A larger portion of the web is formed by the Deep Web, comprised of Dark Web . The deep web is that part of the internet that is not indexed by search engines. This includes password-protected websites, private databases, and the contents of our email. The deep web is not inherently dangerous but can be challenging to access and navigate. The dark web is a small subset of the deep web designed to be anonymous. This makes it conducive for criminals to conduct illegal activities. Since the deep web uses sophisticated technologies and layered encryption, it makes it harder for government authorities to keep track of activities and makes it a perfect hub for malicious crimes.  While the deep web is not necessarily malicious, it...

  DDoS attacks have long been any business’s worst nightmare. As technology advances, DDoS attacks are growing at an alarming rate from their nascent forms as blunt volumetric assaults, they have matured into multifaceted, AI-orchestrated campaigns. Cloud computing, IoT proliferation, AI integration, and connectivity progressiveness have intensified the scope for DDoS attacks. How the Adoption of New Technologies is Making Businesses More Vulnerable to DDoS Attacks The interconnectedness of IoT devices, reliance on cloud infrastructure, and the potential misuse of AI-driven tools provide attackers with an expanded attack surface. This year also witnessed an amplified bandwidth of up to 216% compared to 2020. With more available bandwidth, attackers can generate and send more malicious traffic to the target, disrupting a larger scale. Malicious actors can harness many compromised devices (botnets) or use amplification techniques with higher bandwidth. Thus, even a small request gen...

Written by: Shibu Paul, Vice President International sales at Array Networks Setting strong and secure passwords has become paramount to safeguarding our online identities and confidential digital assets. However, creating and managing complex passwords can be cumbersome, leading to resistance to embracing this approach. As a result, around 44% of people reuse their passwords for personal and professional accounts.  Passwordless authentication plays a crucial role in remediating this situation. By leveraging the unique physiological characteristics of individuals to establish their identity, it offers unparalleled security. It locks away the sensitive, critical information behind the curtains of your fingerprints, iris patterns, facial features, voice patterns, and behavioral patterns like keystroke dynamics.  Biometric systems can be deployed across applications, from physical access control and time attendance systems to mobile devices and online transactions. T...

 Over the past few years, ransomware attacks have become a very serious issue for organizations of all sizes across sectors. These malicious cyber-attacks involve infiltration of a company’s computer systems and encryption of critical data and demand a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key. As technology progresses, so do the methods adopted by cybercriminals. Here are some of the emerging trends in ransomware attacks and effective mitigation strategies for businesses to protect themselves from this growing menace.  Emerging Trends Modern ransomware attacks are more sophisticated and employ advanced techniques and strategies, resulting in a higher success rate for threat actors. Following are some of its examples. Double Extortion: In this trend, cybercriminals not only encrypt an organization’s data, but also steal sensitive information before encryption. They then threaten to release or sell the data if the ransom is not paid, thus increasing p...

 Shibu Paul, vice president – International Sales at Array Networks, talks about the recent growth of artificial intelligence and how Gen-AI can generate job opportunities by developing and deploying AI systems. The recent growth of artificial intelligence ( AI ) has created hype about robots replacing human professionals. After all, AI has already taken over countless jobs and is progressively becoming intelligent. We spoke to Shibu Paul, vice president – International Sales at Array Networks; he says, “However, I see a silver lining to this trend. While AI is replacing jobs by taking over repetitive and mundane tasks, it's also creating exciting career opportunities that did not exist before. The underlying principle is simple: Since AI automates humdrum tasks, it frees time for professionals to focus on more strategic One of the primary ways Gen-AI can generate job opportunities is by developing and deploying AI systems. Shibu Paul explains, “The creation and maintenanc...

 Digital transformation, accelerated by the novel pandemic, has revolutionized how businesses operate across many industries. Metal and mining, despite being an asset-intensive industry, is no exception. While many CHROs already had digital adoption plans before Covid-19 struck, the pandemic accelerated that change, creating a wave of digital-first approaches across organizations. Additionally, technological advancements such as big data,  AI , machine learning, automation, and IoT are catalyzing Industry 4.0. Those that embrace digital-first culture will stay ahead of the curve and gain a competitive advantage. The Digital Revolution in the Metal and Mining Industry The adoption of the technology enables boosting productivity, cutting costs, improving safety, and enhancing employee welfare. Despite its significant benefits, the mining industry is roughly 30 – 40% less digitally mature than other industries, such as automobiles. Some of the reasons contributing to this relaxed...
