In Brief
- Microsoft expands use of Intel threat detection technology.
- 53% increase in crypto attacks in the last year.
- Collaboration between Microsoft and Intel aims to give customers peace of mind.
Microsoft announced yesterday that they would expand the use of Intel’s Threat Detection Technology. Initially used primarily on accelerated memory scanning capabilities to activate central processing unit based crypto mining machine learning detection, they now plan to accelerate the use of endpoint detection.
How it works
Intel’s technology equips endpoint detection and response solutions with CPU heuristics for advanced memory scanning, cryptolocker and ransomware detection. With almost a billion…
Fresh vaccine uncertainty across Europe looks likely to affect the Eurozone economy further as member states remain unable to come to a consensus on the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The U.K. Medicines regulator is now recommending that people under 30 not be given the AstraZeneca vaccine and this is expected to affect the pound. However, outlook is hopeful that this will be mitigated by the U.K. commencing the roll-out of Moderna’s vaccine from Wednesday. And despite these losses the Pound is still up 3.6% against the Euro in 2021.
Jay Powell head of the US Federal Reserve is set to speak later…
Prior to the spread of Covid-19 the prevalence with which government decision making was influenced by free market ideology was unbalanced and often came at the expense of fairness. Following the global pandemic many Western governments had to enact unprecedented policies to ensure households and businesses where supported during restricted living conditions, which had been imposed to stop the spread of the virus. One glaring issue which was further exposed in Ireland during this time was the housing crisis. …
United’s home form this season has been appalling, taking 1 point from 9 so far — with that point only coming on Saturday. And while a point to top 4 rivals Chelsea should never be dismissed, Saturday’s game was there for the taking. Does this explain the shock exclusion of Fernandes and Rashford from tonight’s 11? Somehow, I think not, Solskjaer has never been a reactionary coach — just look at his teams wilting performances at the tail end of last season and his blatant refusal to mix things up as evidence of this. …
As 2020 draws to a close amid a second wave of Covid-19 and Brexit’s latest developments mirroring last years, it can be easy to forget that there is more going on. In this regard we should keep an eye on developments around tax policy and the EU’s intentions in the ensuing years. With the EU Commissions latest appeal against the Apple Tax ruling we have a chance to assess what is coming down the track (hint: it’s not just Brexit we have to worry about).
Tax policy is high on the list of issues the commission wish to address, and…
The recent election was dominated by social issues and particularly the housing crisis. Every party agreed on the need for improved supply. While they differ on estimates and means for achieving supply, they agree it’s needed. But they all ignore a fundamental problem in Ireland — we do not have a robust method of measuring actual home completions.
The Central Statistics Office released their figures on the number of dwellings completed in 2019 this week and spectacularly the number rose by 18.5% from the previous year. Making it the most productive year for house completions in a decade. This must…
