Four major US mobile operators have agreed to a series of undertakings designed to address concerns over airline safety and to allow them to use their C-band spectrum to its full extent.

The result of this effort, Intel Max Series GPU formerly known by the code name Ponte Vecchio, packs 100 billion transistors and 47 tiles onto five process nodes. Beyond that, they include two packaging innovations, EMIB 2.5D and Foveros 3D technology, and stack tiles atop one another for greater processor density.

According to various statistics, there are somewhere around 330 billion emails being sent every day, approximately 3.82 million per second. Who reads all these emails?

White paper: Addressing the MITRE ATT&CK framework for containers using Calico

Be it chess, poker, or everyday driving, you must predict your opponent’s (or other drivers’) movement to win (or keep yourself safe!). Container security is the same, and many organizations look to the MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK) framework to understand an attacker’s mindset and how to prevent attacks. The MITRE ATT&CK framework released a matrix for containers, giving organizations that use Kubernetes and containers a chance to analyze an attacker’s M.O. and assess the organization’s attack vectors.

To help organizations stay ahead of attackers, Tigera recently released a white paper based on the MITRE ATT&CK containers matrix. Drawing from Tigera’s experience as a cybersecurity provider, the white paper offers an in-depth analysis of the containers matrix. It also details how Tigera’s active security platform, Calico Cloud, a fully-managed SaaS, and its self-managed counterpart, Calico Enterprise, can detect and mitigate every tactic outlined in the matrix.

White paper highlights

Tigera’s white paper dives deep into the MITRE framework for containers to help organizations understand the risks they face and how they can mitigate these vulnerabilities using Calico. Here’s what you will learn from the white paper and the questions it’ll answer:

• Attack vectors of Continue reading

Nvidia touts MLPerf 3.0 tests; Enfabrica details network chip for AI

AI and machine learning systems are working with data sets in the billions of entries, which means speeds and feeds are more important than ever. Two new announcements reinforce that point with a goal to speed data movement for AI.For starters, Nvidia just published new performance numbers for its H100 compute Hopper GPU in MLPerf 3.0, a prominent benchmark for deep learning workloads. Naturally, Hopper surpassed its predecessor, the A100 Ampere product, in time-to-train measurements, and it’s also seeing improved performance thanks to software optimizations.MLPerf runs thousands of models and workloads designed to simulate real world use. These workloads include image classification (ResNet 50 v1.5), natural language processing (BERT Large), speech recognition (RNN-T), medical imaging (3D U-Net), object detection (RetinaNet), and recommendation (DLRM).To read this article in full, please click here

Cloudflare One named in Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge

Gartner has recognized Cloudflare in the 2023 “Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Security Service Edge (SSE)” report for its ability to execute and completeness of vision. We are excited to share that the Cloudflare Zero Trust solution, part of our Cloudflare One platform, is one of only ten vendors recognized in the report.

Of the 10 companies named to this year’s Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ report, Cloudflare is the only new vendor addition. You can read more about our position in the report and what customers say about using Cloudflare One here.

Cloudflare is also the newest vendor when measured by the date since our first products in the SSE space launched. We launched Cloudflare Access, our best-in-class Zero Trust access control product, a little less than five years ago. Since then, we have released hundreds of features and shipped nearly a dozen more products to create a comprehensive SSE solution that over 10,000 organizations trust to keep their organizations data, devices and teams both safe and fast. We moved that quickly because we built Cloudflare One on top of the same network that already secures and accelerates large segments of the Internet today.

We deliver our SSE services on the Continue reading

Broadcom-VMware deal faces further regulatory hurdles from EU Commission

The European Commission has informed Broadcom of its objections to the company’s proposed $61 billion acquisition of VMware — the latest hurdle the company needs to clear after regulatory agencies in the UK and US also raised concerns.  “Broadcom is the leading supplier of Fiber Channel host bus adapters (FC HBAs) and storage adapters. The markets are very concentrated. If the competitors of Broadcom are hampered in their ability to compete in these markets, this could in turn lead to higher prices, lower quality and less innovation for business customers, and ultimately consumers,” the Commission said in a statement.To read this article in full, please click here
