Hybrid cloud security was built before the current era of automated, machine-based cyberattacks that take just milliseconds to execute and minutes to deliver devastating impacts to infrastructure. The architectures and tech stacks every enterprise depends on, from batch-based detection to siloed tools to 15-minute response windows, stood a better chance of defending against attackers moving at human speed. But in a weaponized AI world, those approaches to analyzing threat data don't make sense. The latest survey numbers tell the story. More than half (55%) of organizations suffered cloud breaches in the past year. That’s a 17-point spike, according to Gigamon's…

Remember when Intel launched its Arrow Lake-S desktop processors (the Core Ultra 200S series) late last year? The reception was a bit lukewarm. But new data shows it’s been quietly getting way better with age. According to some fresh benchmarks from Phoronix, the flagship Core Ultra 9 285K is now running about 9% faster on average under Linux than it did at launch. And here is the kicker: it’s doing that while using 15% less power. Usually, to get that kind of speed boost, you have to buy a whole new chip. This upgrade is entirely free. It comes down…

It’s important to think strategically with PC upgrades. If you’re on a budget, you can’t afford to waste a penny on something that doesn’t help performance. If you’re rolling in cash, the wrong upgrades can still waste your time, or create headaches that interfere with productivity and gaming. An analogy I like is a tuner car dropped to an inch off the street — sure, it may look slick, but the driver is going to regret it whenever they need to clear a speed bump. Ultimately, how you spend your income is up to you. I’m just here to suggest…

A group of elementary-aged students gather outside of Oldham County Public Library in La Grange, Kentucky, United States to look at clouds in the sky. “If anyone asks what you are doing, tell them, ‘I am a citizen scientist and I am helping NASA,’” Children’s Programming Librarian, Cheri Grinnell, tells the kids. Grinnell supports an afterschool program called Leopard Spot where she engages K-5 students in collecting environmental data with the GLOBE (Global Learning & Observations to Benefit the Environment) Program. “One little boy really got excited about that, and I heard him tell his mom he was working for…

Science fiction is, to me, that genre gift that keeps on giving. While it may not be as popular a genre when it comes to box office returns, streaming services are still greenlighting lots of new sci-fi projects. From standouts on Amazon Prime Video to Apple TV+’s lineup of predominantly sci-fi prestige shows, it’s a great time to get invested. But there’s something about revisiting older sci-fi from when I was growing up that really speaks to that nostalgic part of my brain. Most of that output comes from the early to mid-2000s, an era of film that hasn’t aged…

Source: Getty Images In the United States, where having a car is all but mandatory for 92 percent of the population, ever-higher car prices are causing a lot of stress. The average cost of a new car in the US recently hit record heights, while repossessions for missed car payments are at a 15-year high. Always on the lookout for their next sacrificial lamb, Republican lawmakers are now arguing that technology in cars is to blame. However, it isn’t the infotainment bloatware, wireless key-fobs, power seats, or over-the-air subscription services they’re blasting, but safety…

Panasonic HC-X1200: two-minute reviewI’ve been testing camcorders for over five years, to which you might respond, “Aren’t camcorders a relic from a former era?” And in some ways you’d be right. But there’s still plenty of life in the product category, and filmmakers who like the traditional handling and built-in zoom of a camcorder will find much to enjoy in Panasonic’s HC-X1200.Even for a seasoned reviewer like myself, though,…
