If your organization uses Microsoft 365 (a.k.a. Office), chances are you’ve encountered Teams, at least for video meetings. But it’s capable of a lot more, providing an effective way for groups of people to collaborate on work and advance business objectives. Teams is, at its core, group chat software with videoconferencing capabilities and some interesting

Microsoft’s Windows Recall feature remains vulnerable to complete data extraction despite a major security overhaul, according to a cybersecurity researcher who says malware running in a user’s context can quietly siphon off everything Recall has captured, without administrator privileges, kernel exploits, or breaking encryption. Alexander Hagenah, executive director at Zürich-based financial infrastructure operator SIX Group,

The soap refill dispenser at a cafe in TRACE Expert City — a technology hub in Colombo, Sri Lanka — boldly declares that it was delivered by ”USAID, from the American people.” The device is a relic from the past, reflecting goodwill that once existed between the US and Sri Lanka. Now, as external aid

Admins who use Cisco Webex Services configured to use trust anchors within the SSO integration with Control Hub must install a new identity provider certificate to close a critical vulnerability, or risk losing access control. Cisco said in an advisory this week that admins must upload a new identity provider (IdP) SAML certificate to Webex

The European Commission this week requested, but did not order Google to allow third party search engines in Europe access to its search data as a means to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), legislation the Commission describes as a law designed to “make the markets in the digital sector fairer and more contestable.” Google

Anthropic has today released a new, improved Claude model, Opus 4.7, but has deliberately built it to be less capable than the highly-anticipated Claude Mythos. Anthropic calls Opus 4.7 a “notable improvement” over Opus 4.6, offering advanced software engineering capabilities and improved visioning, memory, instruction-following, and financial analysis. However, the yet-to-be-released (and inadvertently leaked) Mythos

The productivity gains from AI are so great, companies can lay off thousands of employees and still get the same amount of work done — right? Or maybe it’s the opposite: despite all the hype, any supposed AI productivity boom is a mirage, causing employees, even  developers, to experience heavier workloads. At the moment, the

Cadence Design Systems announced two AI-related collaborations at its CadenceLIVE event this week, expanding its work with Nvidia and introducing new integrations with Google Cloud. The Nvidia partnership focuses on combining AI with physics-based simulation and accelerated computing for robotic systems and system-level design. The companies said the approach targets modelling and deployment in semiconductors

OpenAI is introducing sandbox execution that allows enterprise governance teams to deploy automated workflows with controlled risk. Teams taking systems from prototype to production have faced difficult architectural compromises regarding where their operations occurred. Using model-agnostic frameworks offered initial flexibility but failed to fully utilise the capabilities of frontier models. Model-provider SDKs remained closer to

Cloud migration becomes much harder when teams are not moving workloads, but also trying to make every environment reproducible and deployment-ready through Infrastructure as Code. The challenge is not limited to copying applications from one platform to another. It includes validating architecture decisions, controlling drift, enforcing policies, coordinating approvals, and making sure deployment logic can
