Somewhere right now, a Cisco colleague is on a call with a company facing the worst day of their professional lives. Their network is compromised, their data may be stolen, and their business is at risk. That Cisco colleague is calm, focused, and already three steps into solving the problem. Meet Cisco Talos Incident Response, or Talos IR – our frontline response team.  These are colleagues who have dedicated their careers to being present when organizations face genuine crisis, systems fail, attackers succeed and everything feels uncertain. Who we are  Every Cisconian knows we sell security products. Fewer know that we also have a team of people who parachute into chaos when those products,…

Image: Generated via Google’s Nano Banana A recently reported phishing scam is raising fresh concerns, though the tactic has actually been around for years. Reports showed that scammers are embedding fake “trusted sender” banners into suspicious emails, potentially misleading users into letting their guard down. According to Fox News, the issue came to light when a reader shared a screenshot of a questionable email that carried the reassuring message: “This message was sent from a trusted sender.” At first glance, the label makes the email appear safe, even though the content itself shows clear signs of fraud and the banner…

National Gas has outlined early-stage plans for a 300-mile hydrogen pipeline along England’s east coast, marking what seems a significant step towards a national hydrogen network. The operator of the UK’s national gas transmission system unveiled plans for the first phase of the proposed national hydrogen network – Project Union: East Coast – on 18 March. The underground hydrogen transmission pipeline is intended to connect some of Britain’s most important industrial regions and anchor the country’s emerging hydrogen economy. “Running from Teesside, through Yorkshire and the Humber, and south into the East Midlands, the pipeline will form the backbone of…

For years, “Day 1” meant the adrenaline of launch: ship the thing, connect the thing, prove it works. The phrase was popularised in tech culture as a warning against complacency—because “Day 2” is where complexity, slow decisions and operational drift start to pile up. Now that mindset is colliding with a new reality: enterprises are transitioning IoT assets through faster automation, fewer breakpoints across rollouts or expansion, and far less tolerance for downtime or uncertainty. The difference between a successful pilot and a scaled deployment is rarely limited to hardware. It is the operational control plane: how you provision, govern,…

Smartphone cameras play a central role in capturing everyday moments. With enhanced performance and intuitive AI features, Galaxy S26 Ultra elevates the mobile camera experience — making it easy to capture and edit with professional-quality results. Samsung Newsroom experienced the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s camera firsthand after Galaxy Unpacked 2026 in San Francisco, showcasing the city’s diverse scenery and unique atmosphere. Sharp Detail at Any Distance Pier 39, one of San Francisco’s most iconic landmarks, offers sweeping ocean views. With Galaxy S26 Ultra, even Alcatraz Island across the bay — typically seen clearly only up close by boat — appears crisp…

Not that long ago, we were resigned to the idea that humans would need to inspect every line of AI-generated code. We’d do it personally, code reviews would always be part of a serious software practice, and the ability to read and review code would become an even more important part of a developer’s skillset. At the same time, I suspect we all knew that was untenable, that AI would quickly generate much more code than humans could reasonably review. Understanding someone else’s code is harder than understanding your own, and understanding machine-generated code is harder still. At some point—and…

Blue phosphorene hosts an orbital Chern insulator with an experimentally distinct orbital Hall effect Overlapping squares (Courtesy: Cienpies Design) Topological insulators are insulators in the bulk and conductors on the surface. This behaviour is caused by spin-orbit coupling, a property that is stronger in heavier elements. Therefore, most topological insulators are made using heavy elements, such as bismuth selenide (Bi₂Se₃) and antimony telluride (Sb₂Te₃). In this research, the authors introduce orbital Chern insulators, a topological phase in which the orbital angular momentum of electrons, rather than their spin, drives the nontrivial topology. This allows topological behaviour to emerge in materials…

Developer tooling shapes how software gets written day to day, but the best tools often disappear into the background once they succeed. Formatting, linting, and build systems can either create friction and endless debate, or quietly remove entire classes of problems from a team’s workflow. Over the past decade, the JavaScript ecosystem has wrestled with both extremes as it scaled rapidly and accumulated complexity. Prettier emerged as a response to the surprisingly human problem of engineers spending too much time debating code style instead of building software. It offers a deterministic, opinionated formatter that helped normalize automation as part of…

Cybersecurity has become one of the most operationally critical managed services categories for insurers, because the industry combines high-value financial workflows with sensitive data. As a result, insurers are now increasingly focused on cybersecurity run ownership: 24×7 coverage, faster containment, audit defensibility, and resilience under disruption.  This matters for service providers because cybersecurity is now a meaningful growth lever inside overall insurance services outsourcing. In CY24, insurance cybersecurity managed services (CMS) spend was ~US$2.4-2.7 billion, and is growing at 11–13% CAGR (2025–27), making it a structurally attractive segment to win and expand.  A market split: mid-market insurers buy “packaged run,” while Tier-1 insurers buy “co-managed scale”   Across insurers, the buying motion is increasingly segment-driven:  Mid-market insurers (DWP = $1-10 billion) tend to contract fully Managed Security…

While the tech world obsesses over GPU clusters and training models, a fundamental infrastructure gap threatens to limit AI’s real-world impact. Hunter Newby, a telecom veteran who built carrier hotels and internet exchange points across North America, argues that the shift from AI training to AI inferencing will expose a critical weakness: many cities and entire states lack the neutral interconnection infrastructure needed to support low-latency AI applications. AI and low-latency inferencing AI inferencing operates on a completely different model than traditional internet traffic. Where content delivery networks cached static content, AI inference requires real-time, deterministic routing with guaranteed latency…
