While securing a non-fungible token (NFT) might sound like a good idea, doing so comes with cybersecurity risks for buyers. Anyone getting into this alternative investment type should understand the cyberthreats they’re up against. 1. Reentrancy Attack A reentrancy attack exploits a vulnerability to force smart contracts into infinite loops. Since these self-executing agreements execute imperatively — meaning each line of code must finish executing before moving on to the next one — they effectively

Digital twins are highly accurate virtual versions of real-life places or things. They have become widespread in industries such as manufacturing because decision-makers want to test factory layouts, product prototypes or other specifics before approving them. Some leaders also build digital twins of critical equipment to detect when a machine’s operating conditions deviate too much from the virtual version’s norms, indicating an urgent problem to investigate. How can cybersecurity practitioners apply digital twins to their

Artificial intelligence (AI) excels at analyzing data accurately and efficiently. While those advantages apply to virtually any industry, high-risk working environments may benefit from them more than most. Hazmat response is one of the more niche but promising use cases for this technology. What Is Hazmat Response? Hazmat response refers to the management of incidents involving hazardous materials. OSHA recognizes over 130 of these chemicals, all of which require proper handling, storage, and emergency response
