Top 5 Cybersecurity Threats HR Professionals Must Watch Out for in 2025

By / Blog / ,

Top 5 cybersecurity threats for HR in 2025:

  1. AI-Enhanced Phishing: Cybercriminals use AI to create more convincing phishing attacks.
  2. Insider Threats: Employees may unintentionally or maliciously leak sensitive data due to excessive access.
  3. Third-Party Tech Vulnerabilities: Reliance on HR tech platforms can expose organizations if a vendor is compromised.
  4. Remote Work Risks: Unsecured personal devices and networks increase data vulnerability.
  5. Quantum Computing Risks: Advanced computing capabilities may outpace current encryption, allowing future decryption of intercepted data.

HR must proactively improve security and employee training to mitigate these threats.

Prioritizing Organizational Cybersecurity Governance, Boosting Operational Resilience Across OT, ICS Environments

By / Blog / ,

Cybersecurity governance in OT and ICS is crucial for organizational resilience. Companies must adapt to evolving regulatory standards and enhance employee training. Industry frameworks like ISA/IEC 62443 and NIST provide guidance for protection against cyber threats while balancing operational efficiency. Leadership plays a vital role in fostering a security culture and risk management. As IoT integration expands attack surfaces, organizations should adopt strong authentication, encryption, and continuous monitoring. Regular audits and industry collaboration are essential to remain compliant and proactive against cyber risks.

Software Engineering Job Openings Hit Five-year Low?

By / Blog /

Software engineering job openings are at a five-year low, with a 35% decrease in vacancies since January 2020 and a 3.5x drop since mid-2022. Despite a broader job market increase of 10%, software development positions have plunged 34%. Factors include interest rate changes, tech overhiring in 2021-2022, and potential productivity boosts from AI tools. While hiring has slowed, some startups are thriving with smaller teams. Predictions remain mixed on future hiring trends, particularly with the emergence of non-developer software creation facilitated by AI.

Microsoft Says AI Tools Such as Copilot or ChatGPT Are Affecting Critical Thinking at Work

By / Blog /

Microsoft warns that AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT could harm critical thinking at work, leading to reliance and reduced independent problem-solving. Research indicates that while AI enhances efficiency, it also diminishes active engagement in tasks, especially when workers overly trust AI outputs. The study calls for the design of AI to better support critical thinking, as workers face challenges adapting to these technologies.

AI Killed The Tech Interview. Now What?

By / Blog / ,

AI has drastically changed tech interviews, making traditional methods ineffective. Interviews are often disliked, with candidates often overprepared for irrelevant tech skills. AI tools now allow easier problem-solving, undermining the validity of coding assessments like Hackerrank. Future solutions include in-person interviews, enhanced monitoring software, or adapting interviews to consider AI usage. A hybrid approach that combines remote assessments with in-person interviews could provide a balance. Ultimately, interviews will evolve to assess candidates' ability to effectively use AI and manage software development challenges.

Council Post: Lock All The Doors: The Cybersecurity Risks Of Overlooked Devices In Computer Networks

By / Blog /

Cybersecurity threats often exploit overlooked devices like IoT appliances rather than traditional targets. These devices, often unsecured, can be gateways for attackers who gather data quietly. High-profile breaches, such as the Las Vegas casino hack via an unsecured fish tank, highlight these vulnerabilities. To mitigate risks, organizations should monitor devices, change default credentials, segment networks, and advocate for better security standards, reducing potential cybercrime exposure.
