Hardware-Level Zero Trust: Securing Employees and News with AI-Free Approach
Hardware-Enforced Zero Trust and the Dark Side of AI
In the world of cybersecurity, trust is a luxury that few can afford. One company, Byos, is working to change that with its hardware-enforced zero trust security devices. These devices provide enterprise-grade network security protections that travel with users’ laptops, even if the laptop’s OS and firmware are compromised.
Byos’ Microsegmentation Platform
Mathias Katz, CEO of Byos, explained that his company’s microsegmentation platform provides edge networking protection, asset invisibility, and secure resource access without requiring network redesigns. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way organizations approach security, particularly in critical infrastructure sectors such as defense, manufacturing, and healthcare.
The Dark Side of AI
However, as AI becomes increasingly ubiquitous, concerns are growing about its potential impact on human decision-making. J Wolfgang Goerlich, CISO at Oakland County, Michigan, has been exploring the darker side of AI and its potential to shape human thought. In an experiment involving nearly 1,000 participants, Goerlich investigated the ways in which AI can influence human behavior and decision-making.
The results of the experiment are troubling, highlighting the need for greater awareness and caution when interacting with AI systems. As Goerlich noted, the inherent biases in AI training data and algorithms can have a profound impact on human thought and behavior.
