The Middle East’s biggest modern disaster did not happen in 1948. It happened in 1979. A popular revolution overthrew the modernizing, secular Shah of Iran and replaced him with an atavistic theocracy. While some people living in the Shah’s Iran might have suffered from excessive human rights violations, the country was developing well, women had much freedom, and Iran was a fulcrum of stability in the region. All that ended in 1979.

Let’s face it, despite being mission-critical, InfoSec is not the sexiest department in your organization. Long hours, constant stress, and insufficient staff or budget make the job even harder. In this demanding landscape, it’s crucial that you recognize the signs that your team may be struggling.
From increased turnover rates to a decline in performance and communication breakdowns, these signs may indicate underlying issues both within your team and the organization as a whole. By understanding the factors contributing to these challenges, your organization can take proactive steps to support your information security team and ensure the effectiveness of your security initiatives.

President Vladimir Putin! You are amassing (soon perhaps) up to 175,000 Russian military personnel on Ukraine's border. Are you afraid that Ukraine and Georgia will become NATO members, threatening Russia's sovereignty?
The presence of these Russian troops is triggering a response within the international community that could easily become volatile. Tensions are also simultaneously rising between the US and other countries such as China, North Korea and Iran. These hotspots could quickly escalate into global catastrophe.
