Dec 11, 2024 | em360tech.com | Paulina Rios Maya

Biometrics and biometric authentication have often been seen as a scary concepts. Ever since George Orwell’s 1984 highlighted the dangers of surveillance, people have been wary of technologies that monitor our actions. After 9/11, the rise in global security measures brought biometric technology into everyday life, especially in areas like travel, access control, and personal security. But what exactly is biometric authentication?
PETs and Privacy: Walking the Fine Line of AI Ethics

Dec 11, 2024 | em360tech.com | Paulina Rios Maya

As AI continues to shape industries and society, the need for robust AI governance has never been more critical. At the forefront of this governance are privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), which play a key role in ensuring that AI systems operate in a way that respects and protects individuals' data. The European Union’s AI Act, one of the most ambitious regulatory frameworks for AI, sets clear standards for transparency, accountability, and risk management.
What Is Serverless Architecture? A Guide for SaaS Platforms

Dec 10, 2024 | em360tech.com | Paulina Rios Maya

A Serverless Architecture is an innovative way to design and run applications and services without managing traditional IT infrastructure. While your applications still operate on servers, AWS (Amazon Web Services) fully handles their management, scaling, and maintenance. This means you no longer need to provision, configure, or monitor servers to support your applications, databases, and cloud storage systems.

If Machine Learning (ML) conjures images of a dystopian future—think 1984 meets The Matrix —then robotic process automation (RPA) might feel like the moment machines seize control with ruthless precision. However, the reality is far less dramatic and much more practical. RPA is a type of process automation that enables users to program robots or "bots" to execute predefined instructions.
Passwords Are So Last Year: Biometrics, Deepfakes, and the Passwordless Revolution

Dec 9, 2024 | em360tech.com | Paulina Rios Maya

Today, organisations face relentless cybersecurity threats, with phishing attacks and poor password management leading the charge. These vulnerabilities can result in data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage, making them a top concern for businesses of all sizes. Despite technological advances, many organisations struggle to keep up with increasingly sophisticated phishing techniques and the risks of weak or reused passwords.

When you think of "Vice Society," you might imagine an exclusive club where everyone sips cocktails and swaps scandalous secrets. Unfortunately, the reality is far less glamorous (and more illegal). Vice Society is a ransomware gang—think less glitz and glamour, more keyboards and crime—responsible for high-profile attacks on schools in 2024. Unlike prominent groups like LockBit, which operate on a typicalransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model, Vice Society stands out for its unique approach.
