Never trust, Always verify

The buzzword in the cyber security industry these days is Zero Trust. As traditional perimeter security has reached its limits, Zero Trust has emerged as the next security paradigm. Major governments are preemptively implementing Zero-Trust security schemes in their government agencies, and global enterprises are racing to capture the Zero-Trust market. It's time to get ahead of the curve. Traditional perimeter security is often compared to a castle. It's an intuitive security system that builds high walls and digs a deep moat around the perimeter to keep the outside world out. It's simple and clear, easy to operate, and efficiently provides stability in traditional work environments. But times have changed. The proliferation of mobile, the Internet of Things (IoT), and the cloud has created a remote work environment, and the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated a contactless society, requiring changes to traditional security systems. Digital transformation (DX) has diversifie

 Samsung Electronics announced today that it is introducing the 2024 Bixby Air Conditioner Gallery and Bixby Air Conditioner Wall Hanger with enhanced energy-saving features. The new products enhance energy-saving features and add the ability to control air conditioners and other home appliances with voice via Bixby without the need for a remote control. All models of the freestanding Bixby Air Conditioner Gallery are either Class 1 or Class 2 energy efficient. It has have also expanded the range of high-efficiency energy-saving models with cooling efficiency that is 10% higher than the Class 1 minimum standard. Using the AI energy saving mode in the SmartSync app can further reduce energy usage by up to 30%. The maximum power saving rate has been increased from 20%. Bixby is now available on all models, making the home control experience even more convenient. Simple voice commands are standard for air conditioner control, and a variety of additional functions, such as scheduling tri

Growing Metaverse Sector Can Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emission

  For many technology enthusiasts, the metaverse – a virtual 3D environment in which the physical and digital worlds converge – has the potential to transform almost every facet of human life, from work to education to entertainment. New Cornell research shows the metaverse could have environmental benefits, too: lowering the global surface temperature by up to 0.02 degrees Celsius before the end of the century. The team’s paper, “ Growing Metaverse Sector Can Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 10 Gt CO2e in the United States by 2050 ,” published June 14 in Energy and Environmental Science. The lead author is doctoral student Ning Zhao. “We try to understand, from the energy and climate perspectives, how this particular technology will be helpful,” said  Fengqi You , the Roxanne E. and Michael J. Zak Professor in Energy Systems Engineering in Cornell Engineering and the paper’s senior author. “We’re basically trying to predict the future, so we have to use a very rigorous systems

Global Warming and SmartGrid

  It has been looking increasingly likely that we're in for a Super El Niño in present summer. In last May, and temperatures are already approaching 30 degrees in Korea. Fears of an "all-time heat wave" are growing, and electricity prices have recently increased. A "cooling bill bomb" could be a reality, a season two of last winter's heating bill bomb. Large-scale power outages (blackouts) due to temporary increases in electricity demand are another issue to prepare for.   Heat wave concerns aren't just a localized, one-off event; the problem grows every year around the world. The Wall Street Journal recently advised U.S. citizens to "stock up on emergency generators in case of a heat wave." In South Asia, 300 million people have suffered from power outages due to heat waves.   Smart grids are a promising solution to this crisis. It is a technology that integrates IT or artificial intelligence (AI) technology into the existing power sys
