At Fortune's recent Brainstorm AI event in San Francisco, an expert roundtable grappled with that question as insiders shared how their companies are approaching security and governance-an issue that is leapfrogging even more practical challenges such as data and compute power. Companies are in an arm's race to parachute AI agents into their workflows that can tackle tasks autonomously and with little human supervision.

Syrians have marked the first anniversary of the fall of longtime ruler Bashar al-Assad with fireworks and jubilant celebrations in major cities, amid renewed optimism for long-lasting freedom and safety after 14 years of war. Syria's President Ahmed al-Sharaa told large crowds in Damascus on Monday that the country had turned the page from a dark chapter in its history and now looks towards a promising future.

It normally retails for around $200, but Stacksocial is letting you grab it for just $10 right now. This lingering Cyber Monday deal takes a whopping 94% off its usual price, making the upgrade more affordable than ever. The Pro version is ideal for remote workers, creatives, and even gamers. At the time of writing, more than 20,000 licenses have been sold; you can imagine how popular the offer is. It's selling out fast, so it's best to nab yours before it's too late.

After experiencing intense itching from head to toe, I developed a total aversion to dogs. I made my husband agree that we would never have a dog when we got married. My husband and I both worked internationally, he in defense and me in humanitarian efforts. We met in Afghanistan and later moved to Kenya, which was a region where his harder skillset and my softer skillset could both be utilized.

Senada Adžem, the executive director of luxury sales at Douglas Elliman, said before she started selling homes in the development, prices averaged around $6 million. Adžem broke the mold when she put a house up for sale in the neighborhood for $20 million in 2018. It took her two years to sell it for the first time, but it then sold several times after that. Just last month the same property, now remodeled, sold to Wahlberg for $37 million.

Online trading has become a normal part of how people invest and manage money today. With so many platforms available, it can be hard to tell which ones truly protect personal data and funds. Knowing how to identify a secure trading platform helps safeguard both money and peace of mind. A trusted platform follows clear rules, uses strong security tools, and treats users with honesty.

The Reg FOSS desk encountered sudo in the first public beta of Mac OS X, way back in 2000, but the classic C version is a venerable tool. It's so old that precise initial dates are lost to time, but the project's own history says it dates back to 1980. (The project's logo is much younger than the code - it's a reference to a 2006 XKCD comic.) Ubuntu has included the sudo command - and discouraged use of the all-powerful root account - since its very first release, 4.10 "Warty Warthog."

When thieves stole more than $80 million in jewels from the Louvre in Paris, they didn't exploit a total absence of security but rather gaps in the museum's broader security program, encompassing both aging systems and situational awareness, according to early reports. The museum's director later confirmed that the balcony used in the break-in wasn't covered by a functioning external camera; the only camera nearby faced the wrong direction.

Our grotesque slob of a president attended the football game Sunday between the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders, held at the far-flung hell-hole of a suburban stadium that Commanders owner Josh Harris is in the process of abandoning. The occasion was the team's annual "Salute to Service" game, a time when the Commanders do more than the usual amount of pandering and flag-humping.

"The European Union is tightening its visa rules for Russian nationals amid concern over what the bloc considers "sabotage and potential misuse of visas." Multiple-entry visas will no longer be issued, with applicants being required to apply for a new visa each time they sought to travel to the EU. In a statement released by the European Commission, they expressed the aim of the new rules were to protect public policy as well as security."

It's amazing to see how quickly web developers have adopted artificial intelligence (AI) apps. Many have added this technology to their workflow and haven't looked back. There are pros and cons to this seismic industry shift. On the bright side, AI speeds up the development process. We don't have to spend hours poring over WordPress documentation. Instead, we explain our coding needs in plain language. AI helps us build new things from scratch and troubleshoot existing code.

When Maccabi Tel Aviv were drawn to face Aston Villa in the Europa League, the fixture immediately stood out. The prospect of an Israeli team travelling to play a club based in a predominantly Muslim area prompted concerns from those in charge of ensuring the fixture passes off safely. Six weeks ago, there was even a chance the game might not go ahead, with calls for Israeli teams to be removed from international competitions because of the Israel-Gaza war.

At 9.30am, when visitors were already streaming into the museum's galleries, two masked thieves used a goods lift on a truck parked on the riverbank side of the building to reach a balcony on the first floor. Using two grinders, which they also reportedly threatened museum employees with, the thieves cut through a glazed window leading to the Apollo Gallery of decorative art, smashed two cabinets displaying 19th century royal and imperial jewellery and grabbed ten items, before escaping back down the ladder and fleeing with two accomplices on TMax scooters.

Sidero Labs has been developing Talos Linux, an immutable operating system purpose-built exclusively for running Kubernetes, alongside Omni, a cluster lifecycle management platform. InfoQ met the Sidero team in Amsterdam during the TalosCon 2025 and had conversations about their approach to simplifying Kubernetes operations through minimalism and security-first design. The concept for Talos emerged from practical frustrations with traditional operating systems in enterprise environments.

What is software? "Software" is actually quite a broad term, spanning everything from low-level firmware running on devices; operating systems; command-line tools that only developers use; compiled code that runs on its own; interpreted code that needs some other piece of software - or even an entire other application like a web browser! - to run it. Software takes many, many forms, and is created and executed in many different ways for many different purposes.

"The MSPs that are going to stand out in the future are certainly going to be the MSPs that simplify the complex,"

It will be the most high-security sports event in Norway since the Winter Olympics in 1994. Anti-terror measures are in place throughout Oslo; a no-fly zone will be implemented in the skies above Ullevi Stadion and through all the tension it could be easy to forget that the national team are within touching distance of a first World Cup appearance for 27 years. Beating Israel would put them on the verge but the visitors' presence has added multiple layers of complexity and controversy.

According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, AgentKit is a visual tool for quickly building AI agents. "AgentKit is a complete set of building blocks available in the OpenAI platform designed to help you take agents from prototype to production. It is everything you need to build, deploy, and optimize agent workflows." He further states that AI is becoming increasingly capable, from a system you can ask anything to a system that can do everything for you. According to Altman, there is a lot of talk about AI agents, but they remain underutilized. He wants to solve that with AgentKit.

I'm where I am today because I stand on the shoulders of those who came before me, and I strongly believe in paying it forward. A good mentor listens, provides honest feedback, and helps you see opportunities beyond your current path. In security, mentorship is especially vital because so much of the profession is shaped by experience, judgment and context.
