Earlier this year, the NSA released updated zero-trust guidance in which microsegmentation is listed as a daunting, advanced endeavor, only suitable to the most mature organizations. Zero Networks is committed to challenging this sentiment. While some may hesitate, thinking microsegmentation is beyond their reach, we urge organizations to reconsider. Waiting is not an option when it comes to securing your network against evolving threats. By prioritizing microsegmentation, you're taking a proactive stance against unauthorized lateral movement, thwarting advanced attacks, and effectively blocking ransomware. Zero Networks has helped organizations of all sizes, maturity, and complexity levels to deploy our radically simple microsegmentation solution in a click, without breaking anything, and with little to no effort.As ransomware attacks double, microsegmentation has been hailed by Gartner, Forrester, the NSA, and leading security trade media outlets, as the most promising solution for halting lateral movement and satisfying zero trust guidelines. You can’t have a zero trust architecture without microsegmentation – but you also need to implement a solution quickly, without breaking anything, and without extensive costs and complexities. Zero Networks offers exactly this solution. Zero Networks' microsegmentation solution locks down lateral movement, effectively stranding hackers and preventing them from spreading ransomware. For an added layer of security, we apply MFA authentication to the network layer, allowing organizations to protect assets that could not be easily protected by MFA before: legacy applications, databases, OT/IoT devices, mainframes, on-prem VMs, and IaaS VMs. Our just-in-time MFA also applies an additional layer of security to privileged remote admin protocols like RDP, SSH, and WinRM – commonly exploited by attackers. This also supports organizations with compliance needs. “Never trust, always verify” comes automatically with Zero Networks.Zero Networks' microsegmentation solution provides agentless, automated, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) powered architecture. By monitoring and learning all network connections over a 30-day period, Zero Networks creates precise firewall rules that are centrally applied to all assets. This agentless architecture ensures that every asset, whether on-premises or in the cloud, including OT/IoT devices, is segmented without disrupting normal operations. One of the key challenges with traditional microsegmentation solutions is their complexity and associated costs. Forrester highlights the difficulty in quantifying the business benefits of microsegmentation due to its indirect impact on productivity and user experience. A global independent investment bank, Evercore, was undergoing the major challenge of effectively responding to an incident when a workstation was compromised, and a threat actor was able to gain access to their network to move laterally. They had firewalls, whitelists, blacklists and other measures that could slow them down but nothing that could immediately shut them down. Chris Turek, CIO of Evercore, said “Zero Networks is creating a new sphere of security capabilities.See the platform for yourself - reach out to us at zeronetworks.com for a demo.Learn more about Zero Networks: https://itspm.ag/zeronet-al2d2Note: This story contains promotional content.

He explained that while intellectual property encompasses discrete categories such as copyrights, patents, and trademarks, the right of publicity is more nuanced and often intertwined with personal privacy rights. Essentially, the right of publicity allows individuals to exploit their likenesses for commercial purposes or prevent others from doing so without permission. Heinbockel emphasized that the right of publicity is particularly relevant to celebrities and public figures whose likenesses hold significant market value. However, with the advent of generative AI and deepfake technology, protecting one's likeness has become more complicated.The new ELVIS Act in Tennessee is designed to address these challenges by extending the right of publicity to include voices and by explicitly targeting the misuse of likenesses through deepfake technology. The episode also touched on various instances where deepfake technology has already led to unauthorized use of celebrity likenesses. JC Heinbockel cited examples like deepfake ads featuring Clint Eastwood and Tom Hanks, highlighting the legal and ethical complications these technologies introduce.The Elvis Act serves as a legislative response to these advancements, aiming to protect individuals' likenesses from unauthorized commercial exploitation. For business leaders and security professionals, the conversation underscored the imperative need to develop robust AI policies, especially within marketing and advertising departments. Heinbockel urged organizations to carefully navigate the use of AI in creating content, as both the input and output of AI-generated material need to be scrutinized for compliance with existing laws and ethical standards. Moreover, the potential pitfalls of using generative AI extend beyond marketing to areas such as customer support and even internal operations.Heinbockel warned of the risks associated with using AI platforms that might inadvertently disclose confidential information or generate legally dubious content. He emphasized the necessity of setting strict guidelines and having comprehensive policies in place to mitigate these risks.The episode concluded with a call to action for companies to be proactive in understanding the implications of using AI and to plan accordingly. By doing so, they can better navigate the complex legal landscape surrounding intellectual property and publicity rights in the digital age. This timely discussion with JC Heinbockel highlights not just the challenges but also the opportunities for businesses to adapt and thrive in this evolving technological environment.Top Questions AddressedWhat are the rights of publicity, and how do they relate to intellectual property laws?How does the ELVIS Act in Tennessee address the challenges posed by deepfake technology?What should businesses be aware of when using AI to ensure they are compliant with legal and ethical standards?___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqITSPmagazine YouTube Channel:📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!___________________________ResourcesThe Gadgets, Gigabytes, & Goodwill Blog: https://www.gadgetsgigabytesandgoodwill.com/___________________________To see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring this show with an ad placement in the podcast?Learn More 👉 https://itspm.ag/podadplc Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

SMBs and Mid Market companies make up 63% of the GDP, and over 70% of employment - making them the backbone of the economy. The entire cybersecurity industry is focused on the enterprise market, paying lip service to the SMB SME segments, leaving them vulnerable to cyber attacks. Coro decided to change the status quo and built a platform that was designed from day one for the overlooked SMB and SME segments - because we believe they deserve the best protection there is so they can focus on growing their businesses, and not cyber threats.There were three barriers to SMBs getting adequate protection: The need for multiple tools to get end to end protection, the extreme labor intensiveness of managing these platforms, and the overall cost. What Coro did was create a platform that removes all three barriers. 1) It's a single platform with one dashboard and one endpoint agent that covered all of the cybersecurity needs. 2) The platform uses smart automation to offload workloads from people to machines, dramatically reducing the need to chase and remediate security events manually, and 3) Provide all of that for a price point that any SMB could easily afford.Visit the Coro website and schedule a call with our Cyber Experts to see how we can help.Learn more about CORO: https://itspm.ag/coronet-30deNote: This story contains promotional content.

Guest: ✨ James Maynard, Creator / Producer, The Cosmic CompanionOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-g-maynardWebsite | https://thecosmiccompanion.net____________________________Host: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society PodcastOn ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcweb_____________________________Episode IntroductionWelcome to Another Episode!All right, everybody. Welcome to another episode of the Redefining Society podcast, where we talk about the intersection of society and technology. This time around, our focus is on generative AI and its impact on creativity, filmmaking, and society. I'm Marco Ciappelli, and I'm thrilled to be joined today by James G. Maynard. James is a creator, a science communicator, and someone with a profound interest in how technology shapes our world.James grew up close to the space program, with his father working on the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. This environment fostered his dual passions for science and the arts, which he has successfully merged throughout his career. With degrees in physics and chemistry, experience in running star parties, and a treasure trove of books to his name, James combines these elements in his work, using art and storytelling to make science accessible and engaging.Generative AI: A Game ChangerDuring our fascinating conversation, James referred to generative AI as the "greatest tool for the democratization of filmmaking since the invention of the movie camera." He highlighted how AI is cutting down the colossal budgets typically associated with filmmaking, empowering independent filmmakers to create high-quality content without needing enormous financial backing. According to James, this is a revolution, democratizing not just the tools of filmmaking but also the opportunities to create.The Evolution of Filmmaking: Navigating Traditional and Modern ToolsJames discussed how generative AI transforms various aspects of the creative process. He noted that traditional methods of filmmaking were often restricted by heavy financial investments, which in many cases led to films being produced solely to make money for investors. This often resulted in a loss of artistic value. However, with AI, we are witnessing a resurgence of creativity and a proliferation of new stylistic approaches in filmmaking.James described himself as an "app smasher," someone who doesn't rely on a single application but uses a suite of tools to bring his visions to life. From MidJourney for still images to Runway for videos, and from Suno for music to Eleven Labs for voice synthesis, his approach exemplifies the endless possibilities that technology offers to modern filmmakers.Marco and James shared a lively discussion on the balance between innovation and the inevitable pushback against new technologies. They drew comparisons with historical shifts in other industries, such as the move from vacuum tubes to transistors in computing. James emphasized that while AI might reshape certain jobs, it opens vast new fields of creativity and opportunity.Upcoming ProjectsJames also shared insights into his current projects. From his weekly science comedy interview show, "The Cosmic Companion," to short films like "Moon Beans" and feature-length films, he is always striving to educate and entertain. His upcoming films, "Gaia Rising," a future history on climate change, and "The Wizard and the Scholar," a historical adventure situated in 12th-century England, epitomize his commitment to blending education and storytelling.The Future of CreativityThroughout the episode, it's clear that both Marco and James see AI not as a threat but as an enabler of creativity. James compared today's generative AI to early photography or the initial skepticism of CGI, pointing out that every technological revolution faces resistance before being widely adopted and appreciated.The discussion with James G. Maynard sheds light on the exciting potential of generative AI in redefining storytelling, filmmaking, and education. By democratizing access to powerful creative tools, AI is not just transforming how stories are told but also who gets to tell them. As James's projects show, we are on the cusp of a new era where creativity and technology intertwine in unprecedented ways._____________________________Resources____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllTUoWMGGQHlGVZA575VtGr9Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
