Firmware scanning time, cost, and where teams run EMBA
Security teams that deal with connected devices often end up running long firmware scans overnight, checking progress in the morning, and trying to explain to colleagues why a single image consumed a workday of compute time. That routine sets the conte…
A Scientific Expedition to Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier Deals With Weather Hiccups
The clock is ticking. But low clouds have prevented helicopters from moving scientists and gear onto the continent’s fastest-melting glacier.
China’s ‘Dr. Frankenstein’ Thinks Time Is on His Side
He Jiankui spent three years in prison after creating gene-edited babies. Now back at work, he sees a greater opening for researchers who push boundaries.
What security teams can learn from torrent metadata
Security teams often spend time sorting through logs and alerts that point to activity happening outside corporate networks. Torrent traffic shows up in investigations tied to policy violations, insider risk, and criminal activity. A new research paper…
Greenland’s Not the Only Place in the Arctic Where a Fight for Control Is Brewing
For decades, an Arctic archipelago called Svalbard has served as a rare refuge of international cooperation. Those days are over.
An Up-Close Look at the Thwaites Glacier
From an icebreaker sailing near the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, our photographer has captured the many faces of the ice.
Security teams are paying more attention to the energy cost of detection
Security teams spend a lot of time explaining why detection systems need more compute. Cloud bills rise, models retrain more often, and new analytics pipelines get added to existing stacks. Those conversations usually stay focused on coverage and accur…
The Icebreaker Araon Stops Near the Thwaites Glacier
Less than a day after arriving at the ice, we are already up close and personal with the fastest-melting glacier in Antarctica.
Optimism About Nuclear Energy Is Rising Again. Will It Last?
Companies like Kairos Energy are building new types of reactors with the encouragement of the Trump administration, but their success is far from assured.
