What is a context switch? A context switch is an operation that a computer’s central processing unit (CPU) carries out when alternating between processes or threads while ensuring that the processes do not conflict. Effective context switching makes it possible to support a multitasking environment. Each time the CPU makes a switch, the system temporarily […]
Processing alerts quickly and efficiently is the cornerstone of a Security Operations Center (SOC) professional’s role. Threat intelligence platforms can significantly enhance their ability to do so. Let’s find out what these platforms are and how they can empower analysts. The Challenge: Alert Overload The modern SOC faces a relentless barrage of security alerts generated […]
Many apps abuse the background processing feature to transmit device data to their servers, potentially enabling fingerprinting and persistent tracking, which is strictly prohibited in iOS.
IBM unveiled its Condor and Heron quantum processing units Monday, which keeps the company on its own public roadmap — and by most accounts, in the lead of the quantum computing race. The Condor QPU, with 1,121 qubits, is the second fastest in the world. Heron is smaller, with 133 qubits, but can combine with […]
