Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) models are increasingly shared across organizations, fine-tuned, and deployed in production systems. Cisco’s AI Defense offering includes a model file scanning tool designed to help organizations detect and mitigate risks in AI supply chains by verifying their integrity, scanning for malicious payloads, and ensuring compliance before deployment. Strengthening our ability to detect and neutralize these threats is critical for safeguarding both AI model integrity and operational security. Python pickle files comprise a large share of ML model files, but they introduce significant security risk because pickles can execute arbitrary code when loaded, even a…

Microsoft today pushed updates to fix at least 56 security flaws in its Windows operating systems and supported software. This final Patch Tuesday of 2025 tackles one zero-day bug that is already being exploited, as well as two publicly disclosed vulnerabilities. Despite releasing a lower-than-normal number of security updates these past few months, Microsoft patched a whopping 1,129 vulnerabilities in 2025, an 11.9% increase from 2024. According to Satnam Narang at Tenable, this year marks the second consecutive year that Microsoft patched over one thousand vulnerabilities, and the third time it has done so since its inception. The zero-day flaw…

VANCOUVER — A new Clean Energy Canada report finds that while B.C. faces a triple threat—more extreme heat days, energy bills contributing to affordability concerns, and worsening climate impacts—there is one simple solution that has the potential to ease all three: the humble heat pump. The report, More for Less, draws on independent modelling from McDiarmid Climate Consulting and finds that a provincewide switch to heat pumps for space heating and cooling—paired with a mix of electrified water heating technologies—would slash British Columbians’ collective electricity bills by $675 million a year. For individual households, this translates to savings of about…

I’m drawing a cut-out hole in CAShapeLayer using UIBezierPath, this is the code I have so far: let view = UIView( frame: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: 500.0, height: 500.0)) ) view.backgroundColor = .clear let shapeLayer = CAShapeLayer() shapeLayer.frame = view.bounds shapeLayer.fillColor = UIColor.systemMint.cgColor let mainPath = UIBezierPath( roundedRect: CGRect( origin: CGPoint(x: 50.0, y: 50.0), size: CGSize(width: 400.0, height: 400.0) ), cornerRadius: 10.0 ) let cutOutArc = UIBezierPath() cutOutArc.addArc( withCenter: CGPoint(x: 50.0, y: 250.0), radius: 50.0, startAngle: .pi / 2.0, endAngle: .pi + .pi / 2.0, clockwise: false ) cutOutArc.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: 50.0, y: 200.0)) cutOutArc.close() mainPath.append(cutOutArc) shapeLayer.fillRule = .evenOdd shapeLayer.path =…

Aviation cybersecurity is becoming an urgent priority as modern aircraft increasingly rely on complex digital systems for navigation, communication, and engine performance. These systems were once isolated but are now interconnected and vulnerable to cyber threats ranging from GPS spoofing to ransomware attacks on airline infrastructure. As nation-state actors and criminal groups grow more sophisticated, the aviation sector faces a rapidly expanding attack surface, with life-or-death consequences. Understanding and addressing these risks is essential not only for passenger safety but for the resilience of global transportation networks. Serge Christiaans is a former Dutch Air Force pilot with a background in…

If you want to get into stargazing in 2025, there’s still a chance to catch some of the best meteor showers of the year. Also known as shooting stars, meteors happen when Earth’s orbital path crosses a path of debris left by a comet and that material burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Watching a meteor shower is one of the most accessible ways to engage with the night sky.The next shower are the Geminids, a busy and bright shower that peaks in mid-December, offering the chance to see hundreds of shooting stars each hour. This is just one of…
