With machine learning – and the looming disruptive potential of quantum computing on the horizon – where are we with AI in the UK?
We have seen huge breakthroughs in the use and application of artificial intelligence in recent years but there are also major concerns about its future impact – witness the current SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strike, which is partially about wanting regulations for how AI content can be used.
Has your brand considered its global impact on the climate and thought about what carbon savings it can make?
Sustainability was a big marketing trend for 2022 and it’s one area where a positive impact can have a significant attraction for new customers.
Cyber security, AI and quantum technologies are hot topics for Veracity Trust Network.
The company been busy in recent weeks – attending events in Belfast and hosting a roundtable in Leeds – on the subjects.
Cyber security protection needn’t be a daunting challenge for any business but it’s certainly one all should be getting to grips with.
The recent exposure of vulnerabilities at the BBC, British Airways, Aer Lingus, Boots the Chemist, and others demonstrated that even the largest organisations can still become victims of cyber crime.
Veracity Trust Network was honoured to be invited to take part in the Quantum Technology Roundtable held at QTIC in the heart of Bristol recently.
The event, organised by Bristol & Bath Cyber, part of the TechSpark network, marked an important milestone in building an understanding of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this emerging field.
The inaugural Climb23 event held at Leeds was an excellent venue for attendees to find out why cybersecurity matters (a lot) to investors.
Organised by Gordon Bateman, CEO at CRSI, and his team, in partnership with Investor Ladder and the Yorkshire & North East branch of the Institute of Directors, Climb23, an innovation festival for investors, start-ups, scale-ups, and industry, showcased 150 speakers on four stages over two days held at Leeds Dock on May 23rd and 24th.
While it’s not illegal to use a web traffic generator it’s something that businesses who want to protect their brand should shy away from.
Web traffic bots are computer programs that can be launched on a network to artificially create traffic on websites and social media. They’ve become more prominent in recent years, but web traffic generators first appeared in the mid 2000s.
If you’ve never considered the effect fake traffic can have on your brand’s success – or failure – then now is the time.
According to the first annual State of Fake Traffic report from Go-to-Market Security leaders CHEQ, fake traffic – once the domain of IT and Security departments – has now become such a concern that today’s C-suite has realised it can threaten the overall security of a business.
The rise in cyber attacks could make them uninsurable according to the head of one of Europe’s biggest insurance companies Zurich.
Mario Greco, CEO at the Swiss-based company, told the Financial Times that cyber attacks, rather than natural disasters, would become uninsurable if the disruption from hacks continues to rise.
The news that Tech Nation would cease operating from March 31st – after losing out on £12m in government funding to Barclays – brought to an end more than a decade of support for the UK’s tech startups from the organisation.
More than 140 UK tech founders, executives and investors responded with an open letter to the Government, organised by The Coalition for a Digital Economy (Coadec), which raised concerns about the news that the public funding had been awarded to Barclays.
