Comcast Washington

Today, Comcast announced it will award grant packages to 100 small businesses in Multnomah County including those owned by women, people of color, and individuals committed to uplifting their local communities. Expanding on the foundational work by Multnomah County to provide relief funds to small businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Comcast will award grant packages valued at $40,000 to 100 small business owners. The grant package will include business consultation services, educational resources, a monetary grant, creative production, a media schedule, and a technology makeover. From June 1-30, eligible small businesses in Multnomah County can apply for the Comcast RISE program at www.ComcastRISE.com. Winners will be notified in August. Local small businesses seeking more information about the Comcast RISE grants, may learn more about the fund, eligibility requirements, and how to apply by watching this video. Multnomah County is one of five metropolitan areas selected to award the grant package to 100 local businesses, including Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, and Philadelphia. These recipients join the 13,000 entrepreneurs nationwide who have been selected as Comcast RISE awardees since the program launch in late 2020. “Among the many things we all love about the Portland Metro area is our vibrant small businesses and Comcast is committed to supporting them,” said Marion Haynes, vice president of external affairs, Comcast Pacific Northwest Region. “Unprecedented challenges are facing these small businesses, especially those owned by women and people of color, which are at greater risk in today’s uncertain economy with inflation and rising costs. That is why we encourage small business owners to apply for the Comcast RISE program. The grant may cover any need to help your business survive and thrive.” “Beyond the many things that make Portland so special is our small business community,” said Andrew Hoan, president and CEO of the Portland Business Alliance. “Comcast RISE is a great opportunity for small business owners who want to invest in themselves and create a more dynamic city. We're proud to partner with Comcast to promote this program and encourage all small businesses in Multnomah County to apply.” "Hacienda supports entrepreneurs year-round with technical assistance and connection to resources as they work to start or grow their businesses,” said Ernesto Fonseca, CEO of Hacienda CDC. “We are thrilled to partner with Comcast to help spread the word about Comcast RISE and make sure small businesses know about this opportunity and submit an application." “APANO is excited to participate in this year’s RISE! We would like to express our thanks to Comcast for investing in small businesses and entrepreneurs,” said Duncan Hwang, Community Development Director at APANO. “These small businesses—especially those owned and run by Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Oregonians—are the backbone of our community. Over the last few years, too many have been impacted by both the pandemic and hate and bias incidents. This opportunity will support them in coming back stronger than ever.” Comcast RISE stands for Representation, Investment, Strength and Empowerment. Comcast RISE was created in November 2020 to help small businesses hardest hit by COVID-19, from bakeries and barber shops to childcare centers and cleaning services, the grants needed to survive and recover. The program will evolve from helping businesses survive the pandemic, to helping businesses and their communities thrive with a focus on economic growth. All eligible applicants will receive a monthly Comcast RISE newsletter with educational content, and all small business owners can visit the Comcast RISE destination on the X1 platform featuring aggregated small business news, tips, insights, and more.

CyTaka CEO Unveils Artificial Intelligence Technologies that Could Help Train Hackers in the Field of Cyber

CyTaka

Doron Amir, CEO of CyTaka (the World Cyber Championship), unveiled the next thing in cyber technology: a machine that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) that will enable creating simulations of new cyber attacks and could be used to train cyber professionals: "In the near future, we might see cyberattacks against which we have no defense" Doron Amir: "I have a great suggestion for Elon Musk: The space infrastructures he is building might very well be better suited for cooling quantum computers rather than for space tourism". There is no doubt that the machines will beat the humans. The only way to control the situation is with a game changer such as the quantum computer, which could definitely be a crucial instrument in defense and thwarting cyberattacks. Amir cautions: "The age of machines is underway. We must expedite the race to quantum computing, otherwise the machines might rise up against their creators. This could happen as today's computers are not protected in a way that can cope with machines equipped with AI. "If quantum computing is not functional in the next few years, we will see AI-based cyberattacks against which we will not be able to defend ourselves using existing technology in the civilian and business markets. Such cyberattacks could make much more damage than anything we now know, including the harming human life due to the use of smart technology in our vehicles, aviation and health industries." Fluid and Crystalized Intelligence in AI. Amir recounts that a couple of years ago, when his company started to develop a machine that could simulate cyberattacks for the purpose of training cyber professionals, they discovered that their work was cut out for them, and that it was more complex than they initially thought. "The first version showed us by the results that the machine behaved with crystalized intelligence (it could only cope with problems it had previously encountered or that were similar to patterns it was already familiar with). Actually, the new generation of Cyber Security needs to understand and be ready to handle new cyber security cases which never happened before. This is why we developed the fluid intelligence module to our machine. (Giving us the ability to cope with new problems)," explains Amir. "Unlike humans, who lose their fluid intelligence as they grow older, the machine has no biological limitations, and therefore, its fluid intelligence gets better over time, as its computing power continues to increase." ‘Moore’s Intelligence’ is a term that Amir coined based on Moore's Law. According to Amir, there is direct correlation between computational power and fluid intelligence in the world of AI. "In order to simulate fluid intelligence, we engaged young people whose fluid intelligence is at its peak, who work in the fields of software, information security and cyber. The idea was to identify people who have a proven record in dealing with new security problems. We met these hackers at the cyber championships held around the world, where we witnessed the very best minds solving cyber challenges using various methodologies and tactics. After studying these methodologies and tactics, we found they were different from one hacker to the next and that hackers from different countries cope with the same cyber challenges differently, both in terms of offense and defense. "As we could not find a fluid intelligence cyber module, we created our own module by gathering data and techniques from all around the world. We held cyber competitions in Israel, USA and of course, the World Cyber Championship was held in United Arab Emirates (UAE), which allowed us to host cyber professionals from countries that do not have diplomatic relations with Israel." Amir says that the main challenge in the final round of the World Cyber Championship produced by CyTaka in Dubai, was to hack a drone located in Israel, manipulate it to take a photograph from the air of a secret code positioned in a hidden place, and then to send this code back to the Competition Judges on the main stage in GISEC Global in Dubai. The event was held in partnership with the Cyber Security Council (UAE) together with the respectful H.E. Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti (Head of Cyber Security UAE Govt). Only after an hour, (when the allotted time and the time extensions were over) a professional hacker from Tunisia completed the mission. "In comparison, our machine managed to solve the challenge in under 7 minutes," says Amir enthusiastically. ‘Terminator’ Comes to Life "Today, competitors in our cyber championships can use our machine to practice before the competition starts. In the near future, we will hold cyber competitions where not only machines compete against human hackers, but against other machines." Amir notes that there is room for concern, as there is no doubt that the machines will beat the humans. He says that the only way to control the situation is with a game changer like the quantum computer, which could definitely be a crucial instrument in defense and thwarting cyberattacks. "The quantum computer already exists in terms of feasibility, and one can travel to Singapore for a demonstration (if you get invited to see this wonder). One of the problems today putting the computer to use in the industry is the tremendous amount of energy required to cool the system to -273° Celsius (the absolute zero -273.15° C). "The solution to the extreme temperature requirements might be found in the ability to use the space platform, where the required temperature can occur naturally." "I have a great suggestion for Elon Musk” says Amir. “The space infrastructure he is building might very well be better suited for cooling quantum computers rather than for space tourism." https://www.cytaka.com/ CyTaka is lead by Doron Amir (Israeli Cyber entrepreneur) promoting a global activity in the world for building bridges between various nations, with an emphasis on encouraging high-tech education and employment in a wide range of sectors globally.Together with simulations of cyber cases and defense, we give the opportunity for programmers and cyber experts to prove information security skills no matter where they come from or where they were born.
