Artificial Intelligence is in the News

As you've without doubt noticed, AI-related news is everywhere, and its influence continues to grow. Microsoft recently announced that it’s bringing a range of new AI-powered features to Windows 11 starting in June. The main component is called Windows Copilot, a set of text-driven assistive capabilities that will make using your PC easier and more intuitive.

The expectation is that Microsoft Copilot will automate common tasks and reduce manual input by using machine learning to predict what users want to do next. It will also provide useful suggestions based on a user's context, such as displaying relevant files or suggesting actions based on previous behavior. More to come when Copilot is released!

CompTIA Certification Renewal

Your job in IT comes standard with constant change, and it’s understood that technology advances at a breakneck pace. CompTIA works closely with industry partners and has determined that a substantial change in the use of technology usually takes place about every three years. To that end, CompTIA is continuously updating exams. Renewing your certification gives you a great opportunity to document your knowledge in technology areas that matter to employers and are important to your IT career.

The CompTIA certification renewal cycle is three years from your certification date and renewing a higher-level certification automatically renews any lower-level certifications you have. See how to renew your certification.

Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management Training Now Available

As has been seen for the last several years, the supply chain is a common source of many expensive and highly damaging cybersecurity breaches. This is because of the lack of visibility into the operations of supply chain partners and tools for how to deal with the resultant risks. Therefore, to truly secure our organizations, we must have a robust methodology for mitigating the nearly innumerable threats and risks that come via the supply chain.

How can this be accomplished? Introducing the Fundamentals of Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) course.

This two-day course consists not only of training in understanding Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM), but also provides guidance in preparing organizations to deal with the myriad of risks that come from the supply chain. It covers the basics of C-SCRM and then dives deeply into NIST C-SCRM guidance, integration into enterprise risk management, success factors, controls, and implementing effective C-SCRM through the lens of several realistic scenarios. Also included is a primer, linked to free templates, on creating your own C-SCRM program.
