SOAR Playbook for Cryptojacking

Reading Time: 8 minutesThis blueprint outlines a comprehensive Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) playbook to combat cryptojacking—the unauthorized use of computing resources for cryptocurrency mining. Cryptojacking poses significant financial, operational, and reputational risks by silently consuming CPU cycles, increasing power costs, degrading system performance, and introducing hidden vulnerabilities.

A Guide to Tensor Processing Units

Reading Time: 4 minutesThe Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is a custom-built Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) developed by Google to accelerate AI and machine learning workloads. Its creation was driven by the unsustainable computational and energy demands of running deep neural networks on general-purpose hardware like CPUs and GPUs.
