Why MFA alone won’t protect you in the age of adversarial AI

While multi-factor authentication (MFA) is still critical in cybersecurity, enterprises should complement it with stronger authentication methods. Traditional MFA methods, like SMS and push notifications, are nearly as vulnerable as passwords alone. With phishing attacks and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools, attackers can easily bypass MFA methods and trick users into providing their credentials. Passwordless methods, such as passkeys, biometrics and geolocation, are gradually replacing traditional MFA methods. Data privacy is also crucial when coming up with a failsafe strategy to safeguard confidential information even after a cybersecurity breach.
MFA became mainstream in the mid-1990s to 2000s as more enterprises went online. But hackers are cunning and crafty and come up with new ways all the time to break through the fortress of MFA. Thanks to increasingly sophisticated AI tools, stealthy threat actors can craft phishing campaigns “at mass scale” using advanced psychological tactics and even make situations seem urgent to their victims.
Biometric tools such as fingerprint or facial recognition can be a supplement to traditional MFA. You can sign into apps and websites after 3D mapping verification, device trust registration and fingerprint scanning. However, even biometric methods are not completely foolproof. Hackers may use deepfakes or steal a photo of the legitimate user to bypass biometrics tools.
Organizations should also not neglect analytics tools and the pertinent data they collect, which can help boost their cybersecurity even after the fact. Advanced analytics can help with identity threat detection and analytics when attackers bypass MFA, providing a fail-safe strategy. Personally identifiable information (PII) must be cryptographically protected (masked, tokenized or encrypted) to make it useless to attackers even amidst a data breach.
MFA is here to stay and weak MFA is still better than having none. However, in the end, there’s never going to be a single factor that in and of itself is completely secure.

OpenAI sets a VC fundraising record — but can it fulfill the promise?

OpenAI has set a global VC fundraising record, with a round totalling $6.6bn, but there are questions as to whether the amount is needed to raise development funds. While the funds are unlikely to relieve CEO Sam Altman entirely, naysayers have suggested that there is little point in acquiring so much capital, since there are already numerous AI firms functioning like pick-and-shovels businesses that are generating revenue. Furthermore, while big chip players such as Nvidia and rival firm Cerebras are working hard with AI, there may be larger global macro trends that render massive investments in AI unnecessary. Some analysts have speculated that OpenAI could enter an IPO.
Nevertheless, other areas of AI are gathering momentum, as platforms that support AI are being developed by firms such as VAST Data, which is creating a data operating system for AI processes. Others are working on agentic AI, speech recognition, generative AI coding assistants and AI safety protocols. Developments in such areas are driving the growing use of AI. Governments have been slow to regulate AI but are beginning to take a more active interest and in some cases, are beginning to implement regulations.
More mundane AI services, such as ad delivery, are also appearing, with Google launching AdSense to work alongside its AI search engine and search ads. Companies in the sector looking to garner investment included Poolside, which raised $500m for AI coding assistants. Others to secure significant funding include Eon, DataPelago and Crescendo.
In the wider business world, cloud and big data tech companies are turning to AI to fuel more advanced service offerings and deepen their insight into data processing and the development of managed services. Microsoft, for one, is investing in AI and cloud infrastructure in Italy, while Oracle has launched an AI and cloud computing facility in Malaysia. Exabeam unveiled product updates and a new service in the wake of a merger with LogRhythm, while Akamai is working on an API security ecosystem.
Meanwhile, cybersecurity is continuing to be a major concern, with legal action piling up against hackers and security breaches appearing in ever-more innovative guises. The sector is forging alliances to increase protection, and technology is increasingly being developed to counter targeted attacks. Dexory raised $80m for an autonomous warehouse robotics platform, while SiliconANGLE and its research and media partners are continuing to track policy developments in fast-changing areas, including emerging tech and blockchain and crypto.
Finally, several new appointments have been made in the AI sector, including the hirings of former Uber executive Sebastian Enderlein as CTO at DeepL, and Durk Kingma as a scientist by Anthropic. Staff appointments have also been made at Zscaler and Klaviyo. There will be several relevant events over the coming week, including Teradata Possible in Los Angeles, during which theCUBE will be interviewing industry leaders, as well as Cloudera Evolve 24 in NYC, which will also take in in-depth analyses. Meanwhile, SiliconANGLE will be keeping tabs on AMD's Advancing AI event in San Francisco.

How to install an AMD processor

Installing an AMD processor is a little different to installing an Intel one, because the pins are on the chip itself.
To be prepared, make sure you have everything you need handy before you start, including a motherboard, a CPU, a cooler, a Phillips screwdriver, and some heat paste.
Before starting, ensure the work area is clean and clutter-free and that you use an anti-static wristband or work on a non-conductive surface.
Make sure you know where the CPU socket is situated on your motherboard before unpacking the new CPU and consult the manual for visual reference.
Identify the golden triangle on the corner of the AMD CPU and align it with the indented triangle on the motherboard’s CPU socket.
When installing the cooler, the thermal paste or heat pad transfers heat from the CPU to the cooler, and it is best to use a pea-sized amount in the middle.
Be careful with heatpaste placement, and avoid getting any on the underside of the CPU or any of the ports in the socket.
Once the heat transfer material is in place, use a screwdriver to screw the cooler in place slowly using a cross pattern.
Plug the cooler’s fan header into the respective slot on the motherboard designating CPU Fan or similar.
After installation, test the CPU, use a temperature sensing application such as AMD's Ryzen Master or HWInfo to ensure the CPU is cooled properly.

How to install an Intel processor

Installing an Intel CPU is just as easy as installing an AMD one, with some minor caveats that make it a little different.
You’ll need a few pieces of equipment before we get started, but nothing that will cost you more than a few dollars.
Before getting started with your CPU install, you want to make sure you have all the necessary tools to hand.
Before you can fit the CPU, you need to identify the socket on the motherboard.
Pick up your Intel CPU and look at its top side.
Thermal paste is of paramount importance as no cooler surface is perfectly flat.
If everything in the above steps has gone to plan, your CPU should be installed.
It’s a good idea to make sure temperatures are where they should be.
You can find further information about installing a CPU in our guide on how to build a PC.
If you want more in-depth help, we also have great guides on how to install a motherboard and how to install a graphics card.
