Say goodbye to TeamViewer: Get AnyViewer Professional for free -- save $42.96
TeamViewer and AnyViewer are both popular remote desktop software solutions, but they cater to slightly different needs and user bases. TeamViewer is a well-established player in the remote desktop space, offering a wide range of features such as cross-platform compatibility, remote printing, file sharing, and even support for IoT devices. It’s widely used by businesses for IT support and remote collaboration, as well as by individual users who need to access their devices from anywhere.
TeamViewer provides strong security with end-to-end encryption and supports remote sessions with minimal latency. Although there’s a version that’s free for private use, the software's pricing can be a drawback for business users, as it operates on a subscription model which can prove to be rather expensive over time.
Druva launches natural language tool to help cybersecurity investigations
When investigating an incident to contain and remediate a threat, security teams need to understand complex attack patterns, such as malware gestation, score, and sprawl -- the answers to which all lie in the data and systems.
To help with this process Druva is releasing Dru Investigate, a GenAI-powered tool that guides data security investigations using a natural language interface.
Linux desktop environment Cinnamon 6.4 aims to fix its outdated look with a fresh default theme
Linux Mint has long been praised for its user-friendly design, with the Cinnamon desktop being a core feature. However, Cinnamon's look outside the Mint distro often leaves users unimpressed. In many distributions, Cinnamon’s default visual style feels outdated and unrefined, giving the impression that its aesthetics have been neglected.
Part of the reason for this is Mint’s focus on the Mint-Y theme, which brings a more polished and modern appearance to the desktop. The default Cinnamon theme, however, is largely left untouched, serving as a fallback option for troubleshooting. With little attention from theme developers, this results in a less-than-appealing experience for users of other distributions that don’t implement Mint-Y.
Attacks related to non-human identities increase
New data shows that one in five organizations has experienced a security incident related to non-human identities; and only 15 percent remain confident in their ability to secure them.
A report from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), and Astrix Security reveals that there is a growing recognition of the importance of investing in NHI security with a quarter of organizations already investing in these capabilities and an additional 60 percent planning to within the next twelve months.

Why third-party email filters may be ineffective in Microsoft 365 environments
Because email is the primary source of initial entry in many breaches, many organizations pay for sophisticated, third-party email filtering solutions on top of the protections afforded by Microsoft 365. This is a wise investment; having layers of protection by different vendors helps eliminate blind spots found in any one vendor solution and provides complexity that can foil attack attempts.
Yet, few know that threat actors can easily bypass these third-party filtering products by directing emails to onmicrosoft.com domains that are an inherent part of the Microsoft 365 configuration.
Ransomware poses a threat to education
As we begin a new school year, a survey of 250 IT leaders from educational institutions in the US and UK highlights the potential damage from cyberattacks on schools.
The study from Action1 shows 20 percent of respondents believe that the current level of support from their school board is insufficient, with a high risk of significant impact on education quality due to ransomware.
Cybersecurity qualification adds new quantum and AI modules
The Chartered Institute of Information Security (CIISec) is announcing the addition of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing modules to its CyberEPQ qualification for all students from September 2024 onwards.
Available to any student over the age of 14 in the UK, the CyberEPQ (Extended Project Qualification) is aimed at bringing new and diverse talent into the industry, representing an ideal stepping stone into a cybersecurity career.
UK government announces new plans to protect data centers
Data centers powering the UK economy will be designated as Critical National Infrastructure alongside energy and water systems under new government plans.
This is the first Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) designation in almost a decade, since the space and defense sectors gained the same status in 2015.
Meta is training its AI using an entire nation’s data… with no opt-out
The question of how to train and improve AI tools is one that triggers fierce debate, and this is something that has come into sharp focus as It becomes clear just how Meta is teaching its own artificial intelligence.
The social media giant is -- perhaps unsurprisingly to many -- using data scrapped from Facebook and Instagram posts, but only in Australia. Why Australia? Unlike Europe where General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) necessitated Meta to give users a way to opt out of having their data used in this way, Australia has not been afforded this same opportunity. What does this mean?
Samsung begins mass production of QLC 9th-generation V-NAND
Samsung has announced the mass production of its groundbreaking one-terabit (Tb) quad-level cell (QLC) 9th-generation vertical NAND (V-NAND). This follows the successful rollout of the triple-level cell (TLC) version earlier this year.
Samsung’s QLC 9th-generation V-NAND brings several innovations, including the industry’s highest layer count achieved through its Channel Hole Etching technology and a double stack structure. This new NAND offers an 86 percent higher bit density compared to the previous generation, further optimizing performance for AI-driven enterprise SSD applications.
Apple Intelligence will launch in beta and that’s unacceptable for a trillion-dollar company
Apple, a company worth over 3 trillion dollars, has announced Apple Intelligence, a personal AI system, will begin rolling out in October alongside iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1, and macOS Sequoia 15.1. Despite being one of the wealthiest companies on the planet, Apple is choosing to release this highly anticipated feature as a beta, and that’s a huge problem. Users will essentially be treated like testers, expected to troubleshoot and report bugs, instead of receiving a polished, fully functional system out of the gate.
What’s even more frustrating is that Apple Intelligence won’t be ready in time for the iPhone 16 lineup launch this month. It’s criminal for Apple to ask for so much money for these phones -- marketed as AI-powered -- when the core intelligence feature won’t even be available at launch. Customers are paying top dollar for devices that won’t include one of the main selling points on day one.

T-Mobile completes successful test of wireless emergency alert via Starlink satellite
T-Mobile has announced the successful transmission and reception of a wireless emergency alert (WEA) via satellite, marking the first time this has been done in the U.S. This development aims to expand emergency alert coverage to approximately 500,000 square miles of sparsely populated, mountainous, or remote areas that previously lacked access.
"This is one of those days, as the CEO of a wireless company, that makes me pause for a moment and reflect on how technology advancements and the work we’re doing is truly impacting life and death situations," said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile.
Think rebuild, not recovery, after a supply chain attack
We are living in a time when siloed businesses are increasingly rare. Supply chains are the lifeblood of modern organizations, enabling the seamless flow of goods, services, and information. This interconnected network creates a trade ecosystem vital to the survival of both businesses and consumers.
So, understandably, when a cyberattack disrupts this critical process, the immediate response is often panic-driven -- focusing solely on getting operations back online as quickly as possible. While restoring functionality is essential, this approach frequently overlooks a crucial aspect: rebuilding security.
