This is a weekly round-up of the articles from Smart Thinking Solutions, our specialist cybersecurity, governance and compliance web site.
The articles are mostly quick reads to give you an overview of the cybersecurity threat landscape facing businesses today, with links to the sources. Many of the posts have action points or top tips to help you navigate these threats to your organisations.
Sometimes they are just there to make you smile!
Highlights from this week are the Reith Lectures by Professor Stuart Russell, examining AI and it’s possible future impact on humanity. The first episode got me thinking and I am looking forward to the rest of the lectures. There are also several articles looking at the UK’s Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act (PSTI) and IoT devices.
With Christmas coming my Geek Christmas Present blog is back and our “Wheel of Christmas” with it’s exciting prizes is also there.
