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…

Training Diffusion Models with Reinforcement Learning We deployed 100 reinforcement learning (RL)-controlled cars into rush-hour highway traffic to smooth congestion and reduce fuel consumption for everyone. Our goal is to tackle “stop-and-go” waves, those frustrating slowdowns and speedups that usually have no clear cause but lead to congestion and significant energy waste. To train efficient flow-smoothing controllers, we built fast, data-driven simulations that RL agents interact with, learning to maximize energy efficiency while maintaining throughput and operating safely around human drivers. Overall, a small proportion of well-controlled autonomous vehicles (AVs) is enough to significantly improve traffic flow and fuel efficiency…

At Cisco, we believe in the power of collaboration and neutral governance to drive innovation. That’s why we’re proud to join the newly-formed Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation as a launch Gold member, supporting its mission to advance open standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP, originally created and open-sourced by Anthropic in late 2024, has already gained significant traction as a standard for AI interoperability with software that consumers use, or are part of the toughest enterprise environments. With its transition to the LF under AAIF, we are excited that MCP will now be governed…
Interpreting the vast cybersecurity vendor landscape through the lens of industry analysts and testing authorities can immensely enhance your cyber-resilience. 10 Dec 2025 • , 7 min. read Skip to the next paragraph if your eyes glaze over at the long, long titles of industry reports: the AV-Comparatives Endpoint Prevention and Response Comparative Report 2025, MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations Enterprise 2025, or the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Endpoint Protection Platforms. Despite their wordy nomenclature, every report mentioned above has a beneficial role in canvassing the colorful endpoint security landscape. Learned professionals capture its essence, so that security operators can work…
Employee development is the cornerstone of organizational success, and modern tools like employee training software and learning management systems (LMS) are indispensable for achieving this goal. However, as organizations grow and diversify, the challenge of managing and accessing vast repositories of knowledge becomes more pronounced. Enter enterprise search — a game-changing technology that significantly enhances the effectiveness and efficiency of these systems. The Need for Seamless Knowledge Access in Training Systems Employee training platforms are designed to provide structured learning paths, while LMSs enable organizations to deliver, manage, and track training programs. However, these systems often face challenges, such as:…
The clipped() modifier in SwiftUI clips a view to its bounds, hiding any out-of-bounds content. But note that clipping doesn’t affect hit testing; the clipped view can still receive taps/clicks outside the visible area. I tested this on iOS 16.1 and macOS 13.0. Example Here’s a 300×300 square, which we then constrain to a 100×100 frame. I also added a border around the outer frame to visualize the views: Rectangle() .fill(.orange.gradient) .frame(width: 300, height: 300) // Set view to 100×100 → renders out of bounds .frame(width: 100, height: 100) .border(.blue) SwiftUI views don’t clip their content by default, hence the…
