Those thinking artificial intelligence (AI) will steal their jobs need not worry – the software is only filling the blanks, at the moment. And the blanks, at least when it comes to cybersecurity, are quite large. According to the latest Trend Micro figures, organisations worldwide are faced with an ‘ongoing and often detrimental’ shortage of cybersecurity talent.

The growth of 5G and the Internet of Things may be helping to bring smarter and more connected experiences and services around the world, but may also be exposing users to more security worries.

Experts from SolarWinds, Trend Micro, Vade Secure, WatchGuard Technologies, and Webroot discuss five things worth worrying about online, and suggested countermeasures for mitigating them.

Automation platforms are increasingly being used to chain multiple IoT devices together to create user-friendly smart applications – but that’s also creating unpredictable attack surfaces that can be hard to manage. A Trend Micro report released at RSA Conference 2019 warns that these types of complex IoT environments, which can involve a mix of local standalone servers, cloud-based servers and virtual assistant-based servers, are opening new risks for smart buildings.

Researchers at Trend Micro say they've found new malware that uses Slack channels, GitHub, and the file.io file-sharing site to steal data from Windows PCs.
