Ransomware remains a top cyber risk for businesses, but new threats emerging

"The cyber risk landscape doesn't allow for any resting on laurels. "Around the world, the frequency of ransomware attacks remains high, as do related claims costs. By relying on a small number of providers for cloud services or cyber security, society is creating large concentrations around a few single points of failure. Today, companies' cyber security resilience is scrutinized by far more stakeholder groups than in the past.

New watchOS update promises more battery life but with caveats

The new Apple watchOS update brings more battery life for your workouts. One of the biggest criticisms about the Apple Watch is its paltry battery life in comparison to its rivals. Anyway back to that battery life — what's interesting is the new battery life extension only applies to the Series 8, new (2nd-gen) Watch SE and of course, the new Apple Watch Ultra. They will have a new way of extending their battery life. At the moment I am still testing the Apple Watch Ultra and so far the battery life has been very impressive and even surpassing Apple's estimates.
