Without federal support for curiosity-driven research, the innovation and talent pipeline that has helped ensure our nation’s prosperity and safety could run dry, warned President Sally Kornbluth during a Washington Post Live event. During “The Next Generation,” a panel discussion moderated by Washington Post reporter Zachary Goldfarb at The Washington Post’s “Building America Summit,” Kornbluth and Arizona State University (ASU) President Michael Crow joined forces for a spirited discussion on the importance of curiosity-driven research, examining how universities are preparing the next generation of scientists to lead in America’s rapidly changing technological landscape. “Many of the things we have in our everyday…

Upgrading a Kubernetes control plane has long been a one way door. Open source Kubernetes doesn’t support control plane rollback, so once you upgrade, there’s no going back. The community is making real progress here, and KEP-4330 introduces emulated versions to ease rollback. But in practice this constraint has pushed organizations to build elaborate compensating mechanisms like bake periods, stagger groups, automated sign offs, and months long upgrade cycles. With Kubernetes releasing three minor versions per year, teams managing hundreds of clusters, especially in regulated environments, often delay upgrades entirely because they aren’t confident they can recover if something goes…

Three-day patching deadlines, exposed fuel-tank systems, scams costing billions of dollars, and social media bans for children all gave Tony plenty to unpack in June 2026 30 Jun 2026 It’s that time of month when ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe looks back at some of the top cybersecurity stories that made the news over the past 30 or so days and considers what they may mean for your own cyber-defenses. Here’s some of what caught Tony’s attention in June 2026: The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued new vulnerability patching rules that require federal agencies to…

Everything that happened on github.com/Cocoanetics since the SwiftText post — and it’s more than I expected to fit into three weeks: a foundation package that didn’t exist on June 23 and now carries three protocols, SwiftMCP turned inside out, two brand-new projects, releases across the whole mail stack — and a very welcome comeback doing the final polish. The third time you vendor a JSON type, it wants to be a foundation Last month I wrote that the third time you copy something, it wants to be a package. It turns out the rule applies one level further down. SwiftMCP…

From autonomous factories and AI-powered robots to connected vehicles and smart cities, organisations are entering a new era where connected systems are expected not only to collect data, but also to analyse, decide and act in real time. As Industrial IoT continues to evolve, the focus has shifted beyond deploying connected devices. Today’s challenge is combining Artificial Intelligence, Edge AI, advanced connectivity, and secure embedded systems to create intelligent, resilient operations that deliver measurable business value at scale. These developments will take centre stage at IoT Tech Expo Europe, returning to the RAI Amsterdam on 19-20 October 2026 as part…

A user signs in. Their identity is then used to pull data from another service, call an external API, and return a response, all without any of those systems ever seeing the user’s password. What makes that possible is a token: a short-lived credential that says this request is allowed. The handoff of that token is where things get complicated. Too little access and the request fails, too much and you risk exposing data that was never meant to be part of the transaction. This is an example of a typical security flow, and it’s where most issues appear. OAuth2…
