Generative AI is quickly becoming part of corporate agendas worldwide. Nevertheless, most organizations are still struggling to get their GenAI operations up and running. A recent Accenture survey revealed that only 27% of executives are in a position to scale such capabilities. Indeed, more than 70% are still at square…
How AI can benefit zero trust – CyberTalk
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The zero trust framework is a cornerstone of modern cyber security threat prevention and defense architectures. At its core, zero trust calls for continuous verification of every request and transaction within a network — regardless of source or destination.
As cyber threats take on new characteristics, some organizations are looking to artificial intelligence in order to support the efficacy of zero trust implementations.
In this article, we’ll explore how AI can enhance zero trust initiatives. In particular, we’ll dive into how AI can render zero trust more capable and competent, providing practical insights that your organization can put into action.
How AI can complement zero trust
1. Adaptive access controls. Within zero trust, AI may be able to shift security from a more static operation to one that’s particularly dynamic and adaptive.
AI-powered zero trust access controls can flexibly modify and customize permissions based on immediate evaluations of users. The AI can intelligently ascertain whether to authorize or restrict users by reviewing contextual factors, such as user location, device status and behavioral trends.
In turn, this ensures that zero trust is continuously enforced, while simultaneously reducing administrative burdens and human error rates.
2. Privileged access management. With the integration of AI, privileged access management becomes more vigilant and effective. Employing AI-powered monitoring means that organizations can better enforce strict access controls and granular permissions – core tenants of the zero trust framework.
3. Advanced analytics. AI-based tools can aggregate and analyze information from a wide breadth of sources at near-lightning speed. In turn, CISOs can identify anomalous behavior at an expedited rate, leading to faster detection and mitigation of potential security breaches within the zero trust architecture.
4. Automated incident response. In a zero trust environment, where every access request is carefully reviewed, but the margin for error is non-zero, in the event that an incident manifests, AI can assist with incident response.
Further details
As time wears on, organizations are highly likely to integrate AI into zero trust architectures in a range of different ways. Exactly how remains to be seen, of course.
Nonetheless, even at this nascent stage, organizations can leverage AI within the zero trust framework to achieve a more dynamic, intelligent, and ultimately, more secure IT environment.

The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass | Replay
We’ve been making our way through The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask the past few weeks for our weekly Replay stream, but this week Marcus Stewart is busy on assignment, so Brian Shea joined me for a look at a different Zelda sequel. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass released in 2007 for DS and is controlled entirely by touchscreen. Back in 2017 while speaking with longtime Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma for our Breath of the Wild cover story, he cited Phantom Hourglass as his personal favorite Zelda game saying that his wife is a fan of that entry, and it was the first time he was in the role of producer. “I have a lot of sentiment for it,”Aonuma said.
Check out the video below for an hour Phantom Hourglass gameplay below.

Returnal Developer Housemarque Teases Mysterious Announcement For Tomorrow
Housemarque, the developer of titles such as Returnal and Resogun, has teased some kind of announcement for tomorrow.
In a post on X, the developer simply posted a graphic of what appears to be a fractured reflection of a woman’s eyes with the word “Tomorrow.”
Less than two hours later, Housemarque shared a brief video clip of the same image but in animated form.
While the kneejerk reaction is to assume this announcement is related to Returnal, be it a sequel or something else, that seems unlikely. In 2022, Housemarque stated it was developing a new IP for its next title. However, that wouldn’t necessarily rule out the possibility of more Returnal DLC, if nothing else. Much has changed for Housemarque since Returnal launched in April 2021, such as being acquired by Sony just a couple of months later. Returnal launched on PC in February 2023 and has been updated with additional content and features such as co-op.
Thankfully, we don’t have to wait long to learn what Housemarque has up its sleeve next. In the meantime, be sure to check out our review of Returnal here.
Jackbox Naughty Pack Is The First M-Rated Game In The Series
The Jackbox Party Packs have always allowed for adult-themed responses, but it was never solicited or directly encouraged by the games themselves. For those who have wanted a more mature experience, Jackbox Games is finally granting you your wish, as it has announced Jackbox Naughty Pack, a new release of three games that promises spicy prompts and dirty fun later this year.
We don’t know what kinds of games will be included, but Jackbox Games teases “spicy surprises and maybe even some familiar faces.” Does that tease a new, mature-themed You Don’t Know Jack? Will we get dirtier iterations on some classic Jackbox titles? Or will these be all new games that just so happen to include some favorite characters from past games? Unfortunately, for now, Jackbox Games is being tight-lipped with the contents of Jackbox Naughty Pack.
However, the studio did release a teaser trailer, which you can view right here. Jackbox Naughty Pack will arrive sometime this year, and Jackbox Games promises more details this summer.
