1. CISA compliance for 2022 The last several years have seen an ever-increasing number of cyber-attacks, and while the frequency of such attacks has increased, so too has the resulting damage. One needs only to look at CISA’s list of significant cyber incidents to appreciate the magnitude of the problem. In May of 2021, for example, a ransomware attack brought down the Colonial Pipeline, causing a serious fuel disruption for much of the United States....

Daniel Craig gives an emotional speech at the Bond 25 wrap party in Italy. Without a doubt, it has been a lengthy process getting the 25th instalment in the iconic James Bond franchise off the ground. Trouble and delays seemed to follow the film from the early outset, leading some fans and journalists to speculate that the long running James Bond franchise may be dying. However, as the film began principal photography back in March, production moved along at a slow but steady pace, battled back against delays and problems, all while managing to keep building fan anticipation....

Dark Matter season 4 is unlikely to happen after the show was canceled by Syfy after its third season despite solid ratings and a loyal fanbase - here’s everything you need to know about a potential return. Dark Matter was originally conceived as a TV series by creators Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie, but it was first turned into a limited series comic in 2012 by Dark Horse comics.

Clarke had a long career in Hollywood, but the actor was best known for his work as lawyer Mickey Horton in NBC’s soap opera Days of Our Lives.

His acting career took off in the 1960’s with his first big on-screen film called Judgment at Nuremberg directed by Stanley Kramer....

The Arrowverse’s Crisis On Infinite Earths gave Smallville a final ending - and it was perfect. The fact that Tom Welling reprised his iconic role as Clark Kent, and he was joined by Erica Durance returning as Lois Lane, was Crisis’ biggest draw for Smallville fans and they didn’t disappoint. Set during Crisis On Infinite Earths Part 2, which occurred during Batwoman’s hour, the Smallville homage officially made the beloved Superman TV series part of Arrowverse canon....

Dandy, a new Waterloo-based startup that crowd-sources the development of mobile apps, today launched its first ever app developed by its community of contributors during the ShowStoppers CES event. The concept is a simple but unique one: apply Kickstarter-style crowd-sourcing to the development of mobile apps. Dandy, however, takes things one step further than your average crowd-sourced product campaign by allowing members of the community to contribute to the development process and earn revenue from app sales based on the level of their contributions....

Businesses often look at privacy as a cost rather than a benefit, seeing it as something that “stops” data processing rather than adding value to it. Privacy professionals are often introduced to projects late or post-implementation, reducing their capability to introduce meaningful controls and improve projects. It’s harder to make changes to a system, solution or process that is already implemented, purchased or in operation than to contribute to something during the design and requirements stage....

While not as bulky and powerful as its older brother, the Xbox Series X, the Series S is still a formidable gaming console that can run the best of next-gen titles, including Halo:Infinite and Forza Horizon 5. It’s also digital-only, meaning instead of buying physical discs, you’ll have to download all of your games. That said, the Xbox Series S comes with 512 GB of internal storage, which can be upgraded via expansion card....

The Crisis on Infinite Earths schedule is spread out over the course of a month - and here’s how you can watch the Arrowverse crossover. The five-part event encompasses all Arrowverse shows, and with Batwoman being added to The CW’s lineup for the 2019-2020 season, the annual crossover is packed with more shows than ever.

Cybersecurity professionals need more focused and practical training to keep up with the shifting landscape — and to keep their skills ahead of the bad guys. “People are looking to train for the need they have, when they need it,” Jason said. “Things are going to move to those shorter lessons, very targeted and very searchable. You’re going to go search for password cracking, and the system’s going to pull out three or four videos that are relevant to you....

As divisive as the Star Wars Prequels are to the fan base, they certainly brought with them a lot of memorable characters (and some lamentable ones). One of the very first standouts, even before the film’s release, was the menacing Sith Lord, Darth Maul. Born from just about every nightmarish image creator George Lucas could conjure, the dual lightsaber-wielder instantly captured fans’ attention with his acrobatic fighting style and sheer menace....

Focused on the day-to-day challenges of teenage life, the Degrassi franchise depicted the careers of adolescents in Toronto. The long-running series made its debut in 1979 with The Kids of Degrassi Street. After concluding in 1986, the next show, Degrassi Junior High retained some of the main cast but changed their characters completely. By 1989, the show aired over 40 episodes dealing with many controversial topics. Degrassi High continued the trend, and The 1992 movie School’s Out!...

Curb Your Enthusiasm is one of those shows that might just be around forever. When Seinfeld ended, there was a finality to it that Larry David, a headlining figure of both shows, seems keen to avoid with Curb. Curb might go away for a decade at a time, but there is never a “finale.” Larry always leaves the door open for a return to Curb, which is the advice he gave to Rob McElhenney, the star of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, to do, as well....

Spotify has also reached a “first look deal” with the Armchair Umbrella Network....

Despite Cyborg appearing in numerous live-action and animated adaptations, several of them serving as origin stories for the character, Victor Stone still hasn’t had his own Cyborg movie. Although a Cyborg solo movie was officially announced at the San Diego Comic-Con 2015, and Ray Fisher has portrayed the character in both Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and its follow-up, Justice League, there has been little, if any, publicly visible momentum on the project since its announcement....

A new report highlights that Death Stranding’s perfect score from Japanese gaming publication Famitsu is a little questionable thanks to some choice cameo appearances within the game. Hideo Kojima’s breakthrough title has been the most talked-about moment in gaming this fall, and part of that has stemmed from the way the game liberally employs cameos from celebrities across several different mediums. Fans already knew that Death Stranding featured Conan O’Brien in an otter suit after traveling to Kojima’s studio to meet with him earlier during development....

WARNING: Major SPOILERS for Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 1 ahead. - In The CW’s Crisis on Infinite Earths Arrowverse crossover, Green Arrow dies in the first episode, but The Monitor casts doubt on if he’s really dead. The Arrowverse has been setting the stage for Crisis on Infinite Earths ever since introducing The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) in last year’s Elseworlds crossover. Then, Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) made a deal with The Monitor to save the lives of The Flash (Grant Gustin) and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), but it meant he’d be indebted to the cosmic being in the future....
