  • Cut the AI Bait-and-Switch: Tips to Spot Fake Job Applicants
    October 21, 2025, 8:52 AM EDT. Employers face rising AI impersonation-fake voice and image in video interviews-that risks hiring unqualified candidates, plus potential cyber and data-security breaches. The FBI warned (Jan 2025) of North Korean IT workers infiltrating U.S. firms. With online postings widening applicant pools and remote work obscuring cues, careful hiring is essential. Risk-reduction steps: prioritize in-person interviews when possible; use live video with simple authenticity checks (head turns, waves, reading a sentence) to detect overlays; conduct multiple rounds with role-specific questions; verify identity, work authorization, education, and employment history; check references; train managers to spot video red flags (lip-sync, lighting, audio lag). AI tools can help, but require vendor diligence and human review, and must comply with laws including ban-the-box.

Goldman Sachs raises its Apple PT ahead of results, expecting sustained iPhone demand into F2026.

  • Apple Nears $4 Trillion Valuation as iPhone 17 Demand Lifts Analyst Confidence
    October 21, 2025, 8:48 AM EDT. Apple's stock and bullish rhetoric push the company closer to a $4 trillion valuation as demand for the iPhone 17 exceeds expectations. In its first 10 days, iPhone 17 sales rose 14% vs. the previous model, led by the base model, while the regular model jumped 33% year over year. Loop Capital lifted its price target to $315 and upgraded to Buy, citing a longer update cycle to 2027 and projected iPhone shipments rising from 238 million in 2025 to over 260 million by 2027. The iPhone 17 Air sold out in China, and Evercore ISI added Apple to its Tactical Outperform List with a $290 target. Analyst Amit Daryanani notes longer lead times and services momentum, including a roughly 12% rise in App Store revenue.
  • Securing AI to Benefit from AI: Trust, Identity, and Agentic Defense
    October 21, 2025, 8:44 AM EDT. AI holds promise for strengthening cyber defense, reducing alert fatigue, and scaling analysis beyond human limits. But to realize benefits, organizations must secure the systems powering AI. Without governance, strong identity controls, and visibility into how AI makes decisions, deployments can add risk faster than they reduce it. To truly benefit, defenders must apply the same rigor to AI as to any critical system: establish trust in training data, ensure accountability for actions, and provide oversight of outcomes. Identity security becomes the foundation: every model, script, or autonomous agent is a distinct identity that must be authenticated, authorized, and auditable. With Agentic AI-systems that can act with delegated authority-end-to-end provenance, least privilege, authentication, key rotation, and segmentation are essential. Treat every agent as a first-class identity within IAM to defend smarter, not just faster.
