YARMOUTH, Maine – Multinational American technology company NVIDIA said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing August 26 that U.S. Government officials are enforcing the restriction of sales for its top AI chips with China.
The move comes as tension continues to grow between the two countries and rising fears of China using the technology for military applications and surveillance applications domestic and abroad. On the chopping block of note are the company’s A100, H100,...

Cutting through the AI, ML hype
February 26, 2020Ginger Hill
YARMOUTH, Maine—Future possibilities for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are endless and stretch as far as the imagination can go, and continue to be hot topics of discussion among security professionals. While it's smart to glimpse into the future, the security industry has to make “living in reality” a top priority, especially when meaning and current use cases for AI and ML tend to come with an air of confusion.
Defining exactly and precisely what...
Looking back to look forward at ISC West 2020
February 26, 2020Ginger Hill
Having had the privilege of attending three shows during February, I've heard this phrase most: “It's hard to believe that ISC West is already here!” And, quite frankly, I couldn't agree more!
As I think back to last year's ISC West, there were three key trends that resonated with me: 1. deep learning, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML); 2. video doorbells; and 3. RMR for integrators.
Last year, right after ISC West, I reached out to some experts...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) necessary to respond to cyberattacks
July 24, 2019Ginger Hill
Being born in the late 70s, it's been amazing to watch the evolution of computers, the Internet, cyber and the like. I remember sitting in my junior high computer class—7th grade, I believe. Working with Basic on an Apple 2e, I created white coding on a black screen that made a man (stick figure) jump, dance and run when the user got the correct answer to the math problem presented on the screen. That, my friends, was high tech!
Now, the graphics are realistic and some even interact...

AI coming to the aid of security-related applications
March 20, 2019Ginger Hill
Our May 2019 News Poll got me really thinking about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), and the possibilities. My previous AI-related thoughts have been around Watson, the IBM-created, question-answering computer system that answers in natural language, and robots, and how AI can take over the world one day, according to some! Spooky! But, I wanted to know if AI is a legit, practical application for security-related functions, so I scoured the internet and found some exciting...
