Hello!
Here’s your brief of the people, ideas and technology I’m exploring for Not for Profit leaders.
In this Edition: Front door cybersecurity risks, Social Network for AI Agents, Microsoft LinkedIn Group… and More!
What I’m thinking about:
Front door cybersecurity risks
From my experience working with Not for Profits, the biggest risks don’t come from sophisticated attacks. Instead, they come from what I call the “front door,” or the small, everyday decisions users make.
Here are some of the front door risks and how you can mitigate them.
What I’m reading:
- Humans welcome to observe: This social network is for AI agents only – It’s fascinating to watch this network. Just remember that AI agents only mimic conversation patterns (for now), and this feed has already shown signs of human manipulation.
- When your greatest cybersecurity threats are from the inside. Here’s what’s happening when unhappy employees are offered bribes to access systems.
- Deloitte has released their State of AI Report. Amongst their findings is that AI pilot fatigue is real when there is no strategy.
- Beware of the most productive AI Agent you do NOT want your staff to install aka, Moltbot – it’s brilliant but an absolute cybersecurity nightmare.
- Here’s a great local LinkedIn Group for Microsoft super users. I especially like their regular newsletter by Matt Burr that lists training opportunities.
Quote that made me think twice:
“We do not want to destroy your business, we only want financial compensation. Treat this as a sudden tax on your security negligence,” said Hacker group 0APT on its darknet leak site.
