Unlike previous months, the segment went alive on-air with two twists. The smaller 1 is one-half of the host, yours truly, showing upwards 10 minutes late due to unforeseen traffic issues that blocked traffic from downtown. The other, bigger modify, is locking in on a new time slot, 1pm, and going on and on for an hour.

The latter, meanwhile, has enabled its bogus intelligence to creates its own encryption protocols.

All that, of course, cannot top what IBM did. To ensure it is e'er-ready to combat all cyber-security threats, Big Blue has congenital a copy of the Cyberspace and then it can acquit out inquiry piece of work on how to improve deal with all cyber-attacks.

Beyond the information security manufacture, some other in-depth focus for this PCMag Ocean 10 BFM Tech Talk segment is on gaming.
