Indonesia's Film Industry Embraces AI To Make Hollywood-style Movies For Cheap

Indonesia's film industry has started using generative AI tools to produce films at a fraction of Hollywood budgets.

Compromise Assessment: когда пора искать компрометацию и как не наломать дров

Стопроцентной защиты не бывает: задавшийся целью и достаточно подкованный злоумышленник лазейку найдет. Вы можете годами жить с хакером в сети и не подозревать об этом, особенно если у компании не настроена эшелонированная защита на всех сегментах сети. Риск компрометации возрастает, если недавно ушли сотрудники с сохраненным привилегированным доступом к инфраструктуре или вы поглотили новую компанию (присоединили к своей сети или собираетесь это сделать). Единственный способ узнать, не находится ли кто-то. Read more
