Artificial intelligence (or AI) is a hot topic again and we wanted to have a conversation about its use in healthcare, and what are some of the ethical implications of that.

It takes years to acquire the kind of skills needed to pursue the education, experience and credentials required. But what can we do in the meantime? We’ve said it before on Code Red: we’re all involved in security, to one deg...

When it comes to cybersecurity, the enemy holds many advantages. They run the timetable. They establish the rules of engagement.

This age is no different. Rather than wearing badges and walking dusty wooden sidewalks, today’s cybersecurity s...
