    Sophos Intercept X to Provide Endpoint Protection for Qualcomm, Snapdragon Powered 5G Pcs

    Sophos Intercept X to Provide Endpoint Protection for Qualcomm, Snapdragon Powered 5G Pcs

    Sophos, a global leader in next-generation cybersecurity, today announced its plans to provide Sophos Intercept X endpoint protection for 5G PCs powered by Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ compute platforms from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

    The combination of Sophos Intercept X with Snapdragon compute platforms will provide users next-generation security through an always on, always connected PC environment.

    Snapdragon compute platforms enabling 5G connectivity build on smartphone technology to deliver premium performance and efficiency to 4G and 5G cellular-connected thin and light fanless laptops.

    Sophos Intercept X is designed to protect advanced computing systems and endpoints, stopping the latest cybersecurity threats with deep learning AI and anti-ransomware capabilities.

    Sophos expects Intercept X for Snapdragon compute platforms to be available in the second half of 2021.

    “An always on, always connected, interactive computing environment that combines smartphone and PC technology delivers unique security capabilities and opportunities,” said Joe Levy, chief technology officer, Sophos.

    “Mobile devices historically have experienced far fewer security incidents than PCs powered by traditional architectures. It’s certainly not because they aren’t ubiquitous, but rather because of their modern architecture that offers overall predictability relative to PCs, enabling application vendors to design high-performance and secure software. 

    “Snapdragon compute platforms mark a major step forward because they provide all the utility and performance of a PC, but with many of the benefits associated with modern mobile computing devices. Security loves predictability, and Sophos is excited to be a part of securing this next-generation computing platform,” Joe Levy said.

    Sophos Intercept X will also:

    ·         Leverage Connected Standby for continuous communication with a fleet of Snapdragon powered PCs, so that security investigations have fewer unknowns as data won’t be missed due to devices being offline

    ·         Use AI acceleration through the Qualcomm® AI Engine to compile increasingly AI-dependent software real-time on device with optimizations to run faster and more power efficiently, which is important when devices are running on a battery

    ·         Harness the hardware-level root of trust to ascertain device and cryptographic integrity in order to create strong identity bindings

    “Now, in addition to enabling always on, always connected PC experiences, our 5G-enabled Snapdragon compute platforms bring next-generation security innovation rooted in our advanced AI and 5G connectivity capabilities,” said Miguel Nunes, senior director, Product Management, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

    “By working with Sophos, we are taking on-device security to a new level by enhancing their industry-leading endpoint protection with AI accelerated threat detection on our solutions. We’re excited for Sophos to transform computing with next-generation enterprise-grade security on 5G powered Snapdragon compute platforms,” he added.

    Nigeria’s Joint Admissions and Matriculation Boa Nigeria’s Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reported that hackers breached its website.

Speaking to journalists, the registrar of the board, Ishaq Oloyede, revealed that the hackers stole over N10 million after gaining access to its intranet site and altering the profiles of its ad hoc staff.

He added that the investigation led to the arrest of one Sahabi Zubairu from Taraba state, among several others.

Sahabi, however, isn’t the first hacker to successfully hack a government website. Over the last 10 years, there have been several attempts but not all have been reported.

Based on Technext’s findings, here are some of the government hacks that have been reported in the last decade.

    In the wake of the planned boycott by Kenya’s e- In the wake of the planned boycott by Kenya’s e-hailing drivers, Bolt PR Manager for Africa, Nthabiseng Mokoena has told Technext that the e-hailing company is currently reviewing rates to arrive at a favourable outcome for driver-partners.

Ride-hailing drivers in Kenya under the aegis of the Digital Taxi Forum had recently threatened to withdraw their services if Uber and Bolt do not increase base fares and/or cut down commissions following a sharp increase in fuel prices. The drivers gave e-hailing operators a 30-day ultimatum to meet their demands or face a massive boycott.
