Owing to their unique properties, metallic therapeutic agents for cancer have over the years garnered considerable scientific interest among the multiple options available. Compared to their organic counterparts, these metallic drugs have demonstrated a greater diversity in their functions and mechanisms of action. For instance, they were reported to disrupt the homeostasis of metal ions in tumor cells and modulate the tumor immune microenvironment [1], [2], [3], [4]. Owing to the aforementioned attributes, multiple clinically approved metallodrugs, including cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin have been employed in treating various cancers [5], [6]. However, these agents have been associated with deleterious side…

Agentic AI systems can be amazing – they offer radical new ways to build software, through orchestration of a whole ecosystem of agents, all via an imprecise conversational interface. This is a brand new way of working, but one that also opens up severe security risks, risks that may be fundamental to this approach. We simply don’t know how to defend against these attacks. We have zero agentic AI systems that are secure against these attacks. Any AI that is working in an adversarial environment—and by this I mean that it may encounter untrusted training data or input—is vulnerable to…

Flavia Saldanha, a consulting data engineer, joins host Kanchan Shringi to discuss the evolution of data engineering from ETL (extract, transform, load) and data lakes to modern lakehouse architectures enriched with vector databases and embeddings. Flavia explains the industry’s shift from treating data as a service to treating it as a product, emphasizing ownership, trust, and business context as critical for AI-readiness. She describes how unified pipelines now serve both business intelligence and AI use cases, combining structured and unstructured data while ensuring semantic enrichment and a single source of truth. She outlines key components of a modern data stack,…

Women’s soccer is becoming hugely popular, with fans breaking records in viewership and attendance, but unlike sponsors and investors, sportsbooks have yet to fully follow. As the industry continues to prove of interest to many, it’s providing sportsbook operators with the opportunity to thrive in a growing market, but are they slowly turning their attention to the sport? Or leaving it behind? The betting industry may be lagging behind fans and sponsors. In the sporting world, men’s soccer has long dominated in many countries around the world, but this growth could provide the chance for operators to accelerate their investment into…

“Most organizations running WINS today probably aren’t actively using it for anything critical. They’ve just never had a compelling reason to turn it off,” he said. “It’s been quietly replicating in the background, consuming minimal resources, causing no obvious problems. That’s the nature of legacy infrastructure: It persists not because it’s needed, but because removing it requires effort and carries risk, while leaving it alone is free,” said Wright. WINS is a security risk WINS had major design limitations that made it a security risk, said Wright. “WINS has no mechanism to verify the legitimacy of name registrations, which makes…

The timing of Nokia’s announcements last week about continuing European reductions and increasing US investments is awkward – and raises questions, perhaps, when considered with parallel EU calls in Germany and France, where it is cutting jobs, for home-made sovereign EU infrastructure.  In sum – what to know: EU cuts and a US pivot – Nokia notified hundreds of R&D staff in Germany and France of redundancies just days before announcing a major restructure in New York and a $4 billion investment into US R&D and manufacturing. Geopolitics and sovereignty – notionally, the timing jars with political calls in Berlin…

Hyperscale providers are at the centre of global digital infrastructure. DC Byte’s 2025 Global Data Centre Index [email wall] estimates that public cloud, social media, and AI workloads account for nearly 70% of global data centre demand. Their build and leasing decisions shape where power networks are reinforced or need alteration/expansion, where national, state or international governments adjust policy, and where investment capital flows.The infrastructure story for enterprises and hyperscalers involves cloud costs, resilience, access to power grids, data sovereignty, environmental concerns, staffing, and the pace at which AI initiatives are predicted to scale.Hyperscale strategy shapes riskMcKinsey notes that AI…

We released Sophos DNS Protection for networks last year, and it is now close to serving its 600 billionth query. Since then, many of you have asked for a version that can be used on roaming endpoints and for additional insights into DNS requests along with DNS over HTTPS. Today, we are excited to launch the early access program (EAP) for DNS Protection on Windows endpoints with enhanced visibility into which users and devices are making DNS queries and support for HTTPS. As you know, Sophos DNS Protection for Endpoints enables an added layer of transparent web protection across all…
