How automation is easing IT’s patching pressure

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The disclosure-to-exploit window used to be measured in weeks; for weaponized vulnerabilities, it now runs in hours. Out-of-cycle patches that used to be exceptional have become routine across enterprise environments of meaningful size. This pattern now has a name. You might have heard it already: the Patch Apocalypse. Sounds a bit dramatic, but the impact warrants the drama. It describes something measurable — software flaws are being discovered, disclosed and weaponized faster than most patch management programs were built to handle. Several factors are converging at once. Frontier AI models are accelerating vulnerability research — Anthropic's Project Glasswing and comparable initiatives have produced thousands of high-severity findings in compressed timeframes. Attackers are using the same class of tooling to reverse-engineer patches far faster than ...

I love my Marantz CD player, and its new upgraded version was just unveiled — and the matching amp with aptX Bluetooth, HDMI and MM phono looks irresistible too

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Marantz unveils replacements for the acclaimed PM6007 and CD6007 amp and CD player Amp has HDMI ARC and high-quality Bluetooth streaming, plus phono MM input From $750 / £499 / AU$1,000 One of the things I love about quality hi-fi is that it's often made to be a treat for your eyes as well as your ears. The new Marantz Model 70 integrated amp and CD 70 CD player definitely come into that category: I think they look stunning. I'm probably a little bit biased because my CD player is a Marantz (the CD6007 that this one makes obsolete, no less) and I love it dearly. But both new models promise serious substance to match their style. The Model 70 and CD 70 are the successors to the acclaimed PM6007 and the aforementioned CD6007, and Marantz promises that both deliver what the brand calls its signature "warm, detailed and deeply musical" sound. Bu...

The new rules of software supply chain security: visibility, vigilance, validation

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The global digital economy runs on a thriving ecosystem of third-party vendors, enabling organizations to scale and innovate faster than they possibly could do on their own. This digital ecosystem is teeming with software suppliers, not just business software that you can buy but also a vast array of software libraries that are embedded in third-party products. Speed, however, can sometimes be the enemy of risk, as many organizations have not adequately validated whether these third-party technologies are sufficiently safeguarded against cyber threats and other digital risk. So, while software is a great enabler, it also brings risk, given that it often is built with frameworks and libraries that are not known or well supported. Consider that companies employ an average of 106 SaaS apps within their IT environments , and the picture becomes quite clear: soft...
