Avnet expanded its product line for rapid Internet of Things development with the launch of the AVT9152 module, designed for a range of embedded applications requiring cellular connectivity yet demanding low power consumption and minimal component size. "Our new module takes advantage of some of the industry's best SiP and SoC technology from Nordic Semiconductor to strike that balance for engineers. The AVT9152 is ideal for IoT applications when low power and small size are at a premium and is the latest addition to Avnet's robust technology ecosystem."
The United States and Australia on Friday announced a partnership for the continuous development of a virtual cyber training range. The Cyber Training Capabilities Project Arrangement, which was signed on November 3, results in the incorporation of Australian Defense Force feedback into the U.S. Cyber Command's simulated training domain, the Persistent Cyber Training Environment.
continued to build out its Professional Development Institute portfolio in 2020, which now includes 40 courses. These comprehensive online courses are developed to help the workforce continue to learn about the latest cybersecurity trends, practices and issues.
Secure software development and DevSecOps are growing in importance as organizations increasingly rely on cloud infrastructures for critical applications. In the² eBook, The Art & Science of Secure Software Development, CSSLPs around the world share how becoming certified has helped them advance their careers - and avoid costly errors.
New research into what happens after a new software vulnerability is discovered provides an unprecedented window into the outcomes and effectiveness of responsible vulnerability disclosure and exploit development. The analysis of 473 publicly exploited vulnerabilities challenges long-held assumptions of the security space - namely, disclosure of exploits before a patch is available does not create a sense of urgency among companies to fix the problem.
As organisations cannot always control the security measures of their supply chain partners, IoT supply chains have become a weak link for cybersecurity. "Securing the supply chain of ICT products and services should be a prerequisite for their further adoption particularly for critical infrastructure and services. Only then can we reap the benefits associated with their widespread deployment, as it happens with IoT," said Juhan Lepassaar, Executive Director, ENISA. In the context of the development of the guidelines, ENISA has conducted a survey that identifies the existence of untrusted third-party components and vendors, and the vulnerability management of third-party components as the two main threats to the IoT supply chain.
The Central Bank of Seychelles on Friday announced that the network of the Development Bank of Seychelles was recently targeted in a ransomware attack. CBS has been engaging with DBS to establish the exact nature and circumstances of the incident and closely monitor the developments, including the possible impact on DBS' operations," the bank said in a Friday announcement.
Coder announced the availability of its latest version of Coder Enterprise, the platform for software development. Coder Enterprise automates the time-consuming, manual processes involved in creating and configuring development environments and enables engineers to work from anywhere and focus on writing code.
SHI International and Regulator Group have made a strategic investment in mLogica, to accelerate the development of digital transformation technologies and cloud services offered by mLogica and SHI. Under the terms of the strategic agreement, SHI and mLogica will go-to-market together to help their customers migrate legacy databases, applications and platforms to the Cloud, embrace the benefits of Big Data analytics, and optimize the performance of their IT infrastructure, including databases and applications, with a full stack managed services program. "Over the last five years, SHI has invested aggressively to develop a range of professional and managed services capabilities, and we've seen revenue grow 54% in the past year," said Thai Lee, President and CEO of SHI. "This clear evolution of the SHI brand better positions us as a services delivery partner to help customers meet infrastructure and cloud goals. The partnership with mLogica further strengthens that portfolio of services and gives SHI the ability to meet a broader set of customer needs as they migrate away from legacy infrastructure, make their data work harder and smarter, and continually optimize their IT environment."
The Tor Project, the research-education nonprofit organization that maintains software for the Tor anonymity network, has announced a membership program to secure funding that will allow them to "Be more agile" when it comes to software development. "Because we are a software development organization, relying only on grant funding, forces us into a development model that is slow and archaic. We can never execute solutions immediately in an agile way or experiment quickly with possible paths. We want to change that so we can respond to issues and start projects faster. And we can do that by increasing the number and amount of unrestricted contributions to the Tor Project."
