The recent implementation of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program in late 2024 raises important questions about its applicability and the challenges it poses for smaller contractors within the defense industrial base (DIB) supply chain who may not yet be ready to comply. Aimed at protecting federal contract information (FCI) and controlled unclassified information (CUI) within the DoD contracting community, CMMC applies to both prime contractors and their suppliers and…

Fiber optic sensors have quickly become a cornerstone of modern technology. Renowned for their precision and versatility, they are used in everything from telecommunications to healthcare. But as we approach 2025, exciting advancements are on the horizon that could redefine how these sensors work and where they’re applied. With industries demanding smarter, faster, and more durable solutions, the evolution of fiber optic sensors stands at an exciting crossroads. The Current Landscape of Fiber Optic Sensors…

AI is quickly becoming a core part of modern applications, but running large language models (LLMs) locally can still be a pain. Between picking the right model, navigating hardware quirks, and optimizing for performance, it’s easy to get stuck before you even start building. At the same time, more and more developers want the flexibility to run LLMs locally for development, testing, or even offline use cases. That’s where Docker Model Runner comes in. Now…

A new report by NETSCOUT reveals that hackers are increasingly using Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt elections, protests, and policy debates, turning digital sabotage into a tool of modern warfare. The company’s Second Half 2024 DDoS Threat Intelligence Report sheds light on how…

Organizations, Internet service providers (ISPs) and cybersecurity service providers have been issued a warning of the ongoing threat of Fast Flux enabled malicious activities by US and international cybersecurity agencies. According to the joint cybersecurity advisory (CSA), issued on April 3, many networks have a gap in their defenses for detecting and blocking Fast Flux techniques, which poses a significant threat to national security. Fast Flux is used by malicious actors to obfuscate the locations…

These education platforms essentially serve as testing grounds for more responsible AI implementation models that could transfer to enterprise settings. The Socratic questioning in Anthropic’s Learning Mode and OpenAI’s focus on deeper engagement suggest a fundamental shift in AI design philosophy, from tools that provide answers to tools that enhance human capabilities. “To counter cognitive atrophy, organizations must design for active engagement: Teams should be encouraged to interrogate AI outputs, not just accept them. Think…

A recent supply chain attack that compromised the popular tj-actions/changed-files GitHub action has left a trail of digital destruction, affecting 218 GitHub repositories. As investigators dig deeper, the origins of this sophisticated breach are slowly coming into focus, revealing both the initial compromise and the ultimate target. While the desired target was GitHub projects linked to Coinbase, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, the attack’s point of origin has been traced back to the theft of a…

A Chinese state threat actor is actively exploiting a newly disclosed critical Ivanti vulnerability, according to Mandiant researchers. The suspected espionage actor has been targeting CVE-2025-22457, a buffer overflow vulnerability that can lead to attackers achieving remote code execution. The researchers have also observed the deployment of two-newly identified malware families by the group, tracked as UNC5221, following successful exploitation. A patch for CVE-2025-22457 was released on February 11, 2025, in Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS)…

8. Ensure resource continuity One of the most common issues with IT supplier relationships and other partnerships is a lack of resource continuity, particularly when key individuals involved change. After all, with IT’s high turnover rate, personnel changes are inevitable in any supplier partnership. Provisions that ensure resource continuity, particularly regarding key personnel, will keep work flowing smoothly. “People will inevitably change over the course of your relationship with a supplier,” says George Nellist, director…
