NVIDIA has launched a powerful AI supercomputer, the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin developer kit, for advanced robotics, autonomous machines, and next-generation embedded and edge computing.

Massive data communications bottlenecks complicate performing artificial intelligence speech processing at the network’s edge. But computing-in-memory technology is poised to eliminate them. Microchip Technology announced that its SuperFlash memBrain neuromorphic memory solution has solved this problem for the WITINMEM neural processing SoC, unlocking new potential.

Security news

There is no rest for the weary when it comes to cyber threats. Last fall, Black Lotus Labs, the threat intelligence team at Lumen Technologies, discovered what had until then only been theorized: Linux binaries were being used as loaders in Windows Subsystem for Linux. Since then, the team has analyzed more than 100 samples that indicate the capability is evolving.

Palo Alto Networks released a new national survey with key findings that show nearly 80 percent of state and local IT leaders believe ransomware is an ongoing threat to their organizations. Yet less than half of respondents currently have a ransomware incident response plan. According to an analysis by Radware, 2021 was the year of the web application attack. Between 2020 and 2021, the number of malicious web application requests climbed 88 percent, more than double the year-over-year growth rate in distributed denial-of-service attacks, which were up 37 percent over 2020.

The threat complexity is only on the rise. The Cloud Security Alliance began a countdown to April 14, 2030, the date by which the organization estimates that a quantum computer will be able to break present-day cybersecurity infrastructure. It’s essential for enterprises to prioritize security in a post-quantum world, according to the alliance.  

The FCC is launching an inquiry to reduce cyber risks, especially those stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The proposal would begin an inquiry into the vulnerabilities of the Internet’s global routing system. The FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau added equipment and services from three entities—AO Kaspersky Lab, China Telecom and China Mobile—to its list of communications equipment and services that have been deemed a threat to national security, consistent with requirements in the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019.

Forescout announced it has been working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence to develop new cybersecurity guidance for manufacturing organizations to protect their operational technology and information technology systems from cyber threats.
