🧠 Memory Analysis Company Purchase //
Toronto-listed Magnet Forensics, a developer of digital investigation solutions for more than 4,000 businesses and public safety organisations in more than 100 countries, has acquired the strategic IP assets of UAE-based cybersecurity company Comae Technologies, which specialises in cloud-based memory analysis used to recover evidence from the volatile memory of devices.
Magnet Forensics will use this deal to accelerate the development of its memory analysis platform within Magnet Idea Lab, an incubator comprising hundreds of investigators and analysts from leading police agencies and enterprises.
For enterprises, memory analysis could be the key to identifying compromised devices in a malware or ransomware attack. In incident investigations, memory analysis allows agencies to recover hidden evidence and understand what happened on the devices.

Activists warn that Zoom Video Communications Inc.'s new emotion and engagement analysis feature could introduce bias and violate privacy.

At the beginning of the pandemic, the company dropped a feature that tracked meeting participants' engagement, such as when they stepped outside the chat window.
