Is Glass the Future of Storage?  

The idea of preserving information on glass dates back to the 19th century with photographic negatives. Modern technology has vastly expanded this concept, now enabling the storage of terabytes of data on a single small sheet of glass.

Today, advancements have made it possible to hold terabytes of data on a small sheet of glass, offering both durability and sustainability. This technology is already being applied in ventures focusing on long-term preservation, like a musical archive in Norway that is resistant to extreme conditions and electromagnetic pulses.

What Is Mixed Reality?

The inception of Mixed Reality (MR) marks a paradigm shift in how we perceive and interact with the world around us. By definition, Mixed Reality is a hybrid blend that encompasses both real and virtual environments to create new visualizations where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real-time. This technology rests on a spectrum between Virtual Reality (VR), which immerses users in a fully artificial environment, and Augmented Reality (AR), which overlays digital content on the real world. The significance of Mixed Reality transcends beyond mere visual spectacle and it holds transformative potential across a multitude of sectors including education, healthcare, and entertainment, to name a few. Moreover, as we venture into the future, the innovative applications of Mixed Reality are poised to redefine the human-technology interface.

Report: What Are Your Identity Protection Gaps?

You've got defenses in place to stop cyberattacks, but do you know where you're falling short?

You've got defenses in place to stop cyberattacks, but do you know where you're falling short? 

A new report reveals that solutions designed to deliver real-time prevention of malicious access using compromised credentials aren't doing that. In fact, most organizations have only a portion of their security tools deployed. As a result, adversaries continue to achieve account takeover, lateral movement, and ransomware spread.


To better understand the problem, Silverfort commissioned Osterman Research to produce the first report examining the Identity Attack Surface. This report digs deep into the various ways organizations remain dangerously exposed to attacks involving compromised credentials.

Read this report to discover:

  • Why identity is an attack surface

  • What the actual level of protection is for users, admins, and service accounts across organizations

  • How to address identity protection blind spots

  • And much more
