A couple of weeks ago I was invited by Meta to discuss IBM’s point of view about the Metaverse. While I don’t believe the technology is fully ready for prime time, the opportunities are intriguing and certainly worth exploring.

In an interview with the Information Security Media Group publication, White House cybersecurity coordinator Michael Daniel admits to having no practical experience with the subject matter. Daniel claims that “being too down in the weeds at the technical level could actually be a little bit of a distraction” to his job of advising the president about ongoing […]
