Leads need to be defined, and without that definition no amount of qualification is going to work. This is how you do it for outcomes. Let’s start with an obvious question: What is a lead? An email ID? Someone who downloaded your eBook? A person who attended your webinar and left halfway through? Or is it an account that fits neatly into your ICP? The answer should be simple. But ask marketing, sales, and RevOps the same question, and you might get three completely different answers. That is a problem. Because the entire revenue engine begins with this word. Cost…

A one-size-fits-all approach likely isn’t the best strategy when designing artificial intelligence systems that assist users in disease diagnosis.A new study by researchers at MIT and elsewhere found that, while AI assistance generally improved the accuracy of non-experts and clinicians in diagnosing skin diseases, AI explainability methods had different impacts depending on the users’ knowledge level. Explainable AI methods help users know when to trust a model’s predictions by describing or validating the model’s decision-making. For instance, a model might use a heat map to highlight image regions that were most important in its diagnosis or a large language model (LLM)…

Copying something on an iPhone and pasting it onto a Windows PC should be one of the least remarkable features imaginable. While this simple process seems effortless between an iPhone and Mac, Windows users are still left waiting. Now, Microsoft is formally asking Apple to provide interoperable clipboard access through the company’s European Union interoperability process. The request, submitted on March 25, argues that iOS restrictions prevent third-party platforms from creating an experience comparable to Apple’s Universal Clipboard. Apple has now reached Phase III and committed to developing a solution. Microsoft wants Windows to borrow Universal Clipboard Windows Phone Link…

Your neighbourhood TCM shop is actually a S$150M empire Most Singaporeans have walked past a Hockhua Tonic store without thinking twice. Its iconic red signage, the scent of dried herbs, and rows of grab-and-go herbal teas blend so seamlessly into Singapore’s heartland malls that the brand has become part of the landscape. Which makes it easy to miss what’s actually going on: a S$150 million business with over 80 outlets across Singapore and Malaysia, a loyalty programme with over 480,000 registered members, and a supply chain that stretches from ginseng farms in Ontario, Canada, to bird’s nest operations in West…

I always tell people that the best thing I’ve ever tested for my job here on the WIRED Reviews team is my automatic litter box from Litter-Robot. I recommend every cat owner invest in an automatic litter box. If they can swing it, the Litter-Robot is the best one to invest in. You’ll be able to say goodbye to the days of scooping and smells while this nifty machine does the grunt work for you.Litter-Robot is the OG automatic litter box, and the name itself has become synonymous with the concept.

Yes, if implemented without category-based policy controls.Indiscriminate decryption of all encrypted traffic, including healthcare portals, personal banking sessions, and legal communications, can conflict with HIPAA, GDPR, and applicable financial privacy regulations.MITRE M1020 explicitly advises against decrypting sensitive or privacy-related traffic to maintain compliance. The solution is selective decryption policies that distinguish inspectable business traffic from regulated sensitive categories.Fidelis applies DSI session metadata analysis to regulated traffic instead of full decryption. Metadata analysis delivers meaningful threat detection through TLS handshake signals, JA3 fingerprints, and behavioral patterns, without exposing protected content. Security coverage and regulatory compliance coexist under the same policy framework.

GeekWire Illustration Microsoft and Amazon both saw their stocks surge again Monday, riding a post-earnings tech wave across the stock market that pushed Amazon past $3 trillion in value for the first time. The gains follow earnings reports last week in which both companies’ cloud platforms exceeded expectations. Microsoft said Azure grew 43%, passing $100 billion in annual revenue for the first time. Amazon said AWS grew 37%, its fastest pace in 18 quarters. Microsoft and Amazon are now the world’s fourth and fifth most valuable companies, respectively. The three ahead of them (Nvidia, Alphabet and Apple) are all headquartered…

Today, we welcome the 47th government onboarded to Have I Been Pwned’s free gov service: Nepal. Their National Cyber Security Centre now has access to monitor Nepalese government domains against the data in HIBP. This gives the NCSC the ability to identify exposure across government email addresses and respond quickly when those accounts appear in a new data breach.This is precisely what the HIBP government service was built for: helping national cyber teams strengthen threat monitoring and incident response capabilities by providing visibility into compromised credentials and breached accounts across their government domain space.Nepal joins a growing list of governments…

Cybersecurity chiefs at the White House have reportedly finalized the outline of a forthcoming framework that will enable artificial intelligence companies to voluntarily submit their latest frontier models to the government for testing, before they’re released to customers or the general public. The development follows recent disclosures by companies including Anthropic PBC and OpenAI PBC, whose tools breached the security of other companies’ computer systems. A team from the Trump administration is set to meet with senior representatives of leading U.S. AI firms, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google LLC and Meta Platforms Inc. to discuss the new framework. According to a…

Both Washington and Silicon Valley are in the midst of a collective freak-out over China’s recent advancements in artificial intelligence.The release of the new AI model, Kimi K3, has reignited concerns in Washington and Silicon Valley that China’s AI capabilities are catching up fast to the United States. US concerns about Chinese AI can be separated into three general buckets: cybersecurity vulnerabilities, military capabilities, and the future of democracy. While there’s wide consensus that China’s growing AI dominance is cause for concern, there’s less about what to do about it, and some potential policy options may be counterproductive.The latest round…
