Get Your Priorities Right
Our personal new year's resolutions may already be distant memories, but senior IT execs are making and sticking to priority plans for 2025. In the world of security this week we outlined the top 12 priorities for every CISO this year.
Securing the enterprise requires wide-ranging initiatives â with an eye on the bottom line. And it is that dual challenge that piqued the interest of our CSO readers, who used Smart Answers to ask how security executives should balance business performance with managing risk.
The answer, curated by our AI chatbot using generations of human reporting, reflects the challenge. CISOs have to factor in overall company strategy as well as operational security and resiliency. And above all? Try to make things simple. Easy when you know how.

A Compromising Position
Staying with security, this week we reported on a warning to FortiGate admins, who were advised to run a compromise assessment as soon as possible. This following the leak of stolen configuration data and passwords from a two-year old hack.
Scary stuff and good advice. But it led our CISO audience to ask Smart Answers about the potential implications of this vulnerability. Smart Answers opines that the vulnerability could be exploited to gain access to sensitive data and disrupt operations in data centers.
Make that assessment today.

Cracking the Right Codes
In brighter news, this week we reported in InfoWorld a list of 11 cutting-edge programming languages that developers should learn now. These innovative alternatives to the popular languages are gaining steamâand one of them could be the perfect fit for your next project.
Diving in here our developer audience wanted to understand why we recommended languages with a strong focus on NLP. Smart Answers says that Natural Language Processing offers many benefits to coders, including improving applications such as machine translation and chatbots. Well, our chatbot would say that, wouldn't it?
