Sophos Webinar: Navigating the Cybersecurity Triple Threat
As we move into 2022, ransomware shows no signs of slowing down – that’s no surprise. What we have seen in the past 18 months, however, is a shift in tactics: targets have shifted to ever-larger organizations, and the business model that dictates how ransomware attacks occur has evolved. It’s up to IT professionals to proactively deal with these trends to meet the challenges already on the horizon and beyond. Sophos and IT News Africa have collaborated to host a free webinar on 29 June 2022 to discuss the varied methods cyber attackers use to penetrate the networks of an entire organization. The webinar will review how Sophos’ EDR and MTR can help organizations detect these invasions before they escalate and, ultimately, eliminate the threat. It will also look at threat response, and why i...
Fewocious Brings a Collaborative, All-Ages Paint Party to NFT.NYC
Almost one year to the day that he inadvertently crashed the Christie’s website during an auction of his NFTs, digital artist Fewocious took over a New York City warehouse as part of the fourth annual NFT.NYC week.

But instead of doing a talk, panel or showcase, Fewocious opted to throw a FewoWorld Paint Party in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood on Tuesday (June 21), encouraging everyone who walked through the doors to pick up a paint brush and/or spray can and start creating (jumpsuits and foot nets were provided to shield your clothes). True to the digital artist’s outside-the-box approach, the canvas a...
Can Metaverse technology enhance human-AI efficiency?
Conversational AI systems in the metaverse resemble human-to-human communication. Voice assistant AI has found its way to the metaverses of the new era, powering use cases like lifestyle assistance and personalized recommendations. For instance, rather than driving to a travel agency’s office or talking to their overburdened customer service, users can hop on the metaverse and take a tour of multiple awe-inspiring locations with the assistance of an AI-powered bot. An AI concierge in a metaverse is a personified machine that delivers unique recommendations based on the avatar’s preferences. Take into account the amount of data available on every person and you know the potential of this use case. Natural language processing in the metaverse makes it more personal than the real ...
What is StrongBlock (STRONG) and how does it work?
The digital financial environment continues to develop almost every second, which is no surprise to those in the crypto sector.
