AsiaPulse - Threats and Opportunities in the Cyber Realm

Over the next three years, more than 80% of organisations plan to embed Agentic AI into their operations; introducing autonomous agents that can make decisions and act without human approval.  While this promises significant productivity gains, it also intensifies a growing blind spot in cybersecurity: Non-Human Identities (NHIs) now outnumber employees by a staggering 80:1, yet security teams often lack effective tools to manage their privileges and risks. This week we discuss Agentic AI: Threats and Opportunities in the Cyber Realm with Morey Haber, Chief Security Advisor, BeyondTrust

AsiaPulse - Can AI train my staff?

If you look at the Singapore tourism sector, the projected economic impact of S$66.1 billion in 2024 (9.8% of GDP) — the pressure is back on hotels, restaurants, and venues to attract and retain skilled staff. But training remains a challenge in a workforce where up to 40% of hospitality staff were foreign nationals pre-pandemic, often speaking multiple languages and coming from diverse cultural backgrounds.  We explore how AI is revolutionizing front line training by overcoming language barriers — a timely issue in Singapore’s fast-recovering, multicultural hospitality sector. Matthew Spriegel, Founder and CEO of Atiom joins us.
