We were delighted to speak with featured guest, Forrester senior analyst Nick Hayes about best practices to help build an engaging security awareness program that turns your employees into a proactive component of your security strategy. Here is what we learned. 1. Beyond Awareness, Inspire Action Don’t just aspire for security awareness. Inspire the behavioral change required to keep your organization safe from security threats. Inspiring and driving behavioral change requires both ability and motivation from your workforce....

Not everything from the 80s is a fashion catastrophe or politically incorrect nightmare. You only have to watch Stranger Things to see the tremendous value in a lot of that decade’s trends to confirm that. When it comes to movies though, a lot of tropes, conventions, and storytelling devices have been left on the side of the road, rarely used and even forgotten. Some were rightly abandoned because there’s only so much time you can spend devoted to explaining the “nuance” of a thing before it becomes not worth it....

One of the headline features of the iPhone 12 lineup was, of course, 5G support. I said beforehand that 5G coverage is barely a thing yet, even in London – and subsequent tests have demonstrated I was right. I’ve been conducting periodic speed tests at various locations in central London, and while it does occasionally deliver impressive speeds, this is far from the norm … In general, the speeds I’ve been seeing in both actual use and in speed tests haven’t been notably better than I was getting on 4G on my previous iPhone 11 Pro....

While the DCEU may not have gotten everything right as they began their cinematic universe, something they did manage to get right (that Marvel has yet to really learn from) was putting a spotlight on the villains. From the upcoming Joker film that seemingly isn’t attached to the DCEU at all to the Suicide Squad film and the upcoming sequel, DC has done a spectacular job of showing both sides of the coin....

One of the upcoming installments in Warner Bros’ ongoing DC cinematic universe is Matt Reeves’ The Batman, which will center on a younger Dark Knight protecting the streets of Gotham City. We have just learned who will be playing The Caped Crusader, as Robert Pattinson will be taking on the role. However, with a 2021 release date set for the project, more details will surely emerge later this year, perhaps even during San Diego Comic-Con this summer....

For years, the only Batman fans ever knew was on TV doing the Batusi and wham-bam-powing his enemies into oblivion. While that worked for the sixties and endearing reruns up to this very day, the series didn’t do anything to help bring the Dark Knight’s darkness to the forefront. In the mid-eighties, Frank Miller gave fans one of the bleakest Batman’s ever with The Dark Knight Returns. Looking to recreate some of the bleak world, Tim Burton was tapped to bring his gothic flair to Gotham for the first live-action Batman movie in 33 years....

A couple of recent reports have suggested that the first 5G iPhones may be launched in 2020, but one major carrier has warned that we shouldn’t expect too much too soon … It was reported earlier this month that Intel would be supplying 5G radio chips for the iPhone in 2020, with a subsequent report suggesting that Apple would be in a position to begin testing them in 2019. A recent Deloitte study suggested that 5G support will be an important factor for 60% of Americans when it comes to testing their next smartphone....

Sons of Anarchy remains one of the more surprisingly brilliant shows that helped build FX’s reputation in the oughts. Often criticized for its ]violence and questionable treatment of feminism and racism, the show routinely rose above its detractors to tell a story that honored both its roots in biker culture, as well as elevating those roots to a level of complexity no one could’ve predicted. While Kurt Sutter is the genius behind much of Sons of Anarchy’s success, the show’s ability to perfectly cast the fringe society that made up its universe ensured it....

Star of 90 Day Fiancé, Robert drops a bombshell on audiences. During an argument, Anny revealed that Robert actually has five kids with four different women. 41-year-old Robert and 30-year-old Anny met on social media and the two talked every day for six months. Robert, who lives in Winter Park, Florida, booked a cruise with a one-day stopover in the Dominican Republic so that he could finally meet Anny in person....

1. Widescreen is Standard Do you remember when standard monitors had aspect ratios of 4:3? Pepperidge Farm remembers. But anyone born in the new millennium might not. Today’s monitors are 16:9 widescreen, even on dinky netbooks like my EEEPC. What that means is that you have more screen real estate fat-wise than you do tall-wise. Especially when you consider that we scroll up and down web pages, not left and right....

Of the many surprises that Marvel dropped at this year’s Comic-Con – that Jane Foster would be the new Thor, that Scarlet Witch would enter the multiverse with Doctor Strange, etc. – perhaps the most unexpected was Mahershala Ali’s casting as Blade, because it was two surprises in one: 1) Blade will be joining the MCU, and 2) Marvel didn’t bring back Wesley Snipes for the part. Ali will undoubtedly be great in the role, but then again, Snipes already was great in the role, and fans loved his take on the character....

Sheepishly raises hand It stresses everyone out at some point, whether you’re a newbie growing your account or a full-blown influencer with thousands of followers. After all, engagement isn’t just a vanity metric – it’s money. The more people who see and interact with your content, the more likely you can monetize your online presence. But how do you fix it once your numbers drop? Sure, you can add relevant hashtags and a call to action to your Instagram posts, but that’s not enough anymore....

Almost all stories succeed or fail based on their characters. This is especially true in television, where viewers are asked to repeatedly watch mostly the same cast of characters for hopefully years and years’ worth of screen time. Star Trek: The Next Generation is no exception. Star Trek especially revolves around it’s ensemble of characters, literally in the sense that the central location, the ship, requires a crew to function....

Social marketers who are on the frontlines of their feeds day in and day out have the data to understand better than anyone what content is resonating most powerfully with audiences and exactly who makes up those audiences. This leads to important insights about how social can fuel bottomline growth and organizational development. Social teams are also the first to note what trends are shaping the future of social, as well as customer insights that can shift an entire brand strategy....
