Cyber insurance is not a foolproof solution for cyberattacks, as paying ransoms often fails to guarantee data recovery and can lead to repeat attacks. Cyber insurance policies typically do not cover all costs associated with an attack, such as data recovery and brand reputation restoration. Investing in cyber resilience, which includes anticipating, protecting against, withstanding, and recovering from cyberattacks, is crucial. A comprehensive approach involving both public and private sectors is necessary to defend against and recover from cyber incidents.

The study uses a metabarcoding approach to analyze lichen-associated communities in Antarctic regions with varying deglaciation times. It reveals a higher diversity of eukaryotes in areas with longer deglaciation periods and identifies specific patterns of organism association with different lichen species. The research highlights the need to expand DNA barcode libraries and suggests that environmental factors significantly influence lichen holobiont formation.

Injuries, particularly muscle injuries, significantly impact male elite football teams, correlating with lower league rankings and high financial costs. Preventive strategies, especially exercise-based ones, are crucial but lack high-quality evidence specific to elite male footballers. A Delphi survey involving 21 practitioners from 18 elite European teams identified sprinting, high-speed running, and eccentric exercises as effective strategies. The survey highlighted the need for individualized and integrated training approaches, emphasizing the importance of combining exercise-based strategies with other preventive measures like load management and recovery strategies. Despite some consensus, the study underscores the necessity for further high-quality research to validate these practices.
