High Efficacy. High Throughput. Proven Security Performance That Meets Modern Connectivity Demands In cybersecurity — just like in Formula One racing — performance is only meaningful under pressure. A car isn’t judged while standing still; it’s judged flying at 200 mph, navigating real-world turns, weather, and competition. Similarly, a secure connectivity platform must be validated not just in ideal conditions, but under the true demands of modern networks — with high traffic loads, sophisticated threats, and evolving attack techniques. Performance where it counts That’s exactly why the recent NetSecOPEN certification is so significant. The Cisco Catalyst 8300 Edge Platform was…
Latin America is grappling with an elevated rate of cyber attacks in the first half of 2025. Organizations in the region are being targeted by an average of 2,716 attacks per week, which is 39% higher than the global weekly average of 1,955. New insights from Check Point Research reveal an escalating wave of threats, marked by advanced malware, government-linked operations, and vulnerabilities tied to cloud platforms. The Evolving Threat Landscape in LATAM The top five targeted countries in the region include Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Jamaica and Paraguay. Major Highlights from Check Point’s Latin America Threat Intelligence Report: Most attacked…
The collaboration will allow Weavr to help software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies integrate Visa-powered financial products into their platforms, according to a Thursday (July 10) press release. The effort will initially focus on the employee benefits space. “Globally, employers are transitioning from static, one-size-fits-all benefits to spendable, personalized employee allowances,” the release said. “In Europe, the discretionary employee benefits market is valued at $162 billion annually, part of a broader global employee benefits market worth $377 billion — highlighting significant growth potential.” B2B SaaS platforms in human resource tech, from benefits platforms to workforce management tools, can address this demand, according to…
Qantas data breach impacted 5.7 million individuals Pierluigi Paganini July 10, 2025 Australia’s largest airline Qantas has confirmed that the recent data breach impacted 5.7 million individuals.

At the heart of every successful AI Agent lies one essential skill: prompting (or “prompt engineering”). It is the method of instructing LLMs to perform tasks by carefully designing the input text. Prompt engineering is the evolution of the inputs for the first text-to-text NLP models (2018). At the time, developers typically focused more on the modeling side and feature engineering. After the creation of large GPT models (2022), we all started using mostly pre-trained tools, so the focus has shifted on the input formatting. Hence, the “prompt engineering” discipline was born, and now (2025) it has matured into a…

As Texas reels from devastating floods, conspiracy theorists are hard at work. Not by helping victims, or donating aid, but by posting videos claiming the rain is fake, or blaming space lasers or “geoengineering” plots. I wish I was joking. But once again the likes of Twitter, TikTok, and Telegram are spreading dangerous nonsense claiming extreme weather was being controlled by the “deep state.” And some of these posts are getting millions of views. In times of real human suffering, spreading misinformation isn’t just unhelpful. It’s harmful. Let’s not lose sight of the facts, or the people who need support…
