On average, chief information security officers (CISOs) in small and medium-sized companies earn $415,000 a year. But what they’re asked to do is far from easy. Some have it even better, with the top 25% of CISOs earning at least $470,000, and the top 5% reaching the seven-figure range. The findings are based on a survey by IANS Research and Artico Search. The survey included more than 860 CISOs, 363 of whom work at small and mid-market organizations (with annual revenue of up to $1 billion).

Your heart is working double shifts the next day after a party. And your Garmin knows it. I occasionally enjoy a beer or two just as much as I enjoy a good trail run. But if I run the morning after some outing, I wonder, does my running coach know why I am slower that day? The majority of my running sessions are heart rate-based runs — run slow to run fast. This means that I have, for example, to run 10 kilometres without my heart rate climbing over 140 beats per minute.
Quantum computing and machine learning combo
