As technology advances, ensuring the security of computer systems, networks, and applications becomes increasingly critical. One of the ways in which security professionals can assess the security posture of an entire digital ecosystem is by carrying out penetration testing, or pen testing for short. Penetration testing is the authorized simulation of a real-world cyber-attack. This
WhatsApp has a feature for those moments when you want to share something, but don’t want it to stick around. Called “View Once,” the feature lets you send a photo or a video to someone; after they’ve seen it, the content is gone forever. That, at least, is how the feature should work, but a

David Sacks, Trump’s AI and crypto “czar,” said in an interview on Fox on Tuesday that there’s “substantial evidence” that Chinese AI company DeepSeek “distilled” knowledge from OpenAI’s AI models, a process that Sacks compared to theft.

Operating systems and applications can always be reinstalled, but your data is unique, making it the most important thing on your computer or network. “Organizations must now maintain robust privacy measures, including clear privacy policies, opt-out processes, and compliance with consumer protection laws, to mitigate financial and reputational risks,” said IEEE Senior Member Kayne McGladrey
