Hot on the heels of China’s accusations that Volt Typhoon is actually a CIA asset, a group of cybersecurity experts from the Cyber Security Association of China (CSAC) have now claimed Intel products sold in China contain “frequent vulnerabilities and high failure rates.”

CSAC also said Intel products present “serious risks to national security,” alleging the US semiconductor manufacturers installed an NSA backdoor “in almost all” of its central processing units (CPU) since 2008 to create a “next-generation security defense system.”

“This poses a huge security threat to the critical information infrastructure of countries around the world, including China,” CSAC said as part of its accusations on the organization’s WeChat account.

Push to open investigation

The US and China have frequently thrown similar allegations at each other, with US lawmakers recently pushing for greater restrictions to be placed on suppliers passing US advanced chip manufacturing equipment on to Huawei, which the US placed on its entity list in 2019, restricting businesses from trading with the Shenzhen headquartered technology company.

China has also been accused of infiltrating US critical infrastructure to establish a list of targets to strike in the event that war breaks out between the two superpowers. UK government ministers also stated this week Chinese state sponsored threat actors may already have access to UK critical infrastructure.

In a statement posted to WeChat, Intel’s China unit said, “We will maintain communication with the relevant authorities, clarify any concerns, and reaffirm our commitment to product safety and quality” (Via Reuters).

CSAC has also requested the Cyberspace Administration of China launch an investigation into Intel products sold in China for vulnerabilities and backdoors “to effectively safeguard China's national security.”

Rivian is getting into the Halloween spirit with a software update that will allow owners to transform their R1 electric SUVs into KITT from Knight Rider, a Time Machine from Back to the Future or a haunted scarecrow that teases pedestrians with creepy owl chirps.

No, this isn’t an awkwardly-mistimed April Fool’s Day prank, but a limited time software update from Rivian that it hopes will inject a little fun into the rather dull subject of software-defined vehicles.

Once users have updated to the latest software on both the smartphone app and the vehicle (over-the-air, of course), Rivian R1 owners can then select from a number of ‘Car Costumes’ that take over the infotainment system, the exterior lighting and even exterior sound effects in some cases.

While in park (for legal reasons), owners will first have to locate the ‘Get Spooky’ card on the main page of the Rivian mobile app and can then select the Gear Guard dressed as Michael Knight to activate a Knight Rider-themed package of software shenanigans.

The main infotainment display will feature KITT’s diagnostics on screen and play the original show intro music, so owners can channel their inner Hasselhoff on the way to work.

Rivian says that second-generation R1 owners will also enjoy an exterior light bar that cascades a red beam and exude its iconic scanner sound effect, “creating the ultimate Knight Rider experience,” according to the brand.

If Back to the Future is more your thing, Rivian has just the solution, as its bespoke ‘Car Costume’ apparently turned the R1 into Time Machine. Not literally, obviously, but it will transform the infotainment screen into the famous DeLorean interface, as well as play music and sound effects from the film.

Again, second-generation R1 owners get to have all the fun, because an 88mph button which will engage Back to the Future themed lighting and sound effects in the front and rear of the vehicle, too.

Rivian gets creepy

Knight Rider and Back to the Future might not be the first things that spring to mind when you think Halloween, which is why Rivian has also catered for the traditionalists with a Haunted 'Car Costume' that sees video static (a la The Ring) and ghosts flying around the in-car displays.

There are also eight different sound effects and three different color themes to choose from, including Halloween classics purple, yellow, red, and green, while Gen 2 owners will be able to select a creepy hue for the exterior light bar. When parked, otherwise this bit of seasonal fun might fall foul of the law.

In addition to this, owners are treated to a bunch of other Easter eggs (or should that be candy corn?) for fans of the creepy season, such as the driver assistance display, which takes a live feed from external cameras and sensors, transforming pedestrians into zombies and cyclists into headless horsemen.

According to Rivian, the Halloween fun will only last until November 4 before it gets tired and boring and gets probably replaced by Christmas tat instead.

When everything new on Hulu in November gets released, it always seems to be a case that the best Hulu movies bear the brunt of the chop, while all the best Hulu shows seem to remain untouched. For November 2024, I'm excited to announce that... history is repeating itself.

Hulu's November 2024 list shows that even the best streaming services have their flaws, and although it's not ideal that Hulu is stripping us of more movies, there are no more than 30 titles leaving the service, which I guess is a silver lining. Unfortunately, that means I have to bid farewell to Hustlers (2019), a fun and entertaining watch and one of my ultimate comfort movies.

But just think about it; the next wave of movies leaving Hulu will make a lot more room for the plethora of Christmas movies that are new to the platform in November 2024. Despite the fact we're still indulging in spooky season, the countdown to Christmas is near.

Iranian hackers are acting as Initial Access Brokers (IAB), selling access to critical infrastructure organizations in the West to the highest bidder.

A joint security advisory recently published by the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA), together with the FBI, NSA, the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSE), the Australian Federal Police (AFP), and Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD’s ASCS), claims Iranian threat actors are actively engaged in brute force attacks (password spraying, MFA push bombing, and similar).

Since October 2023, these unnamed organizations have been targeting healthcare and public health (HPH) organizations, the government, information technology, engineering, and energy sectors.

CISA recommendations

Their goal is to obtain login credentials, and to map out the target victim’s infrastructure. They then establish persistence in various ways, including modifying MFA registrations.

This information is then sold on the dark web. “The authoring agencies assess the Iranian actors sell this information on cybercriminal forums to actors who may use the information to conduct additional malicious activity,” the report says.

To defend against these attacks, CISA and friends suggest firms review IT helpdesk password management related to initial passwords, password resets for user lockouts, and shared passwords. They should also disable user accounts and access to organizational resources for departing staff, implement phishing-resistant MFA, and continuously review MFA settings.

Furthermore, they should provide their employees basic cybersecurity training, track unsuccessful login attempts, and have users deny MFA requests they did not generate. Finally, they should ensure users with MFA-enabled accounts have appropriately set up MFA, ensure password policies that align with the latest NIST Digital Identity Guidelines, and meet the minimum password strength.

All of these are considered best cybersecurity practices, CISA concludes, “aimed at meaningfully reducing risks to both critical infrastructure operations and the American people.”

One of the minor annoyances about vinyl, particularly fancy vinyl, is that you can't really show it off while it's playing – so if you have an LP with a particularly great color, or one that creates a zoetrope effect as it's playing, it's only visible if you're looking directly down on it. Wouldn't it be great if your vinyl was vertical instead?

That's the approach Fuse Audio is taking with its GLD record player. Instead of the familiar horizontal platter, your LP is held up like a Ferris Wheel so you can see it as it spins. It also comes with Bluetooth in and out, a pair of 36W powered speakers to connect directly to it, and it supports 33, 45 and 78rpm records. It's yours on Kickstarter for $229 plus tax and shipping.

That's a pretty great price for an all-in-one record player package, especially one that looks as nice as this. Obviously, we have no idea how it sounds yet, but I'm totally charmed by the appearance.

Is vertical vinyl viable?

This isn't the first vertical vinyl player. I remember thinking the Technics SL-V5 was impossibly futuristic back in the 1980s, and we've seen vertical models from firms including Mitsubishi, Sharp and even Sony. For UK readers, there was also an Amstrad vertical "music centre", the SM104, which currently goes for around £70 on eBay. Vertical vinyl wasn't just an ’80s fad, though. Pro-Ject made one in the 2010s, the VT-E BT, and you can still buy one for around $499.

But are they any good? Visually yes: they're great talking points. But as turntables, they don't have the best reputation. The Amstrad was described by one poster on Vinyl Engine as "possibly the worst turntable ever" while others derided its speakers and stylus; in their review of the VT-E BT, The Audiophile Man suggested that it was "a lifestyle design that sits among a heap of dross". While that turntable was massively better than other similar models, it still wasn't one audiophiles should consider.

If you're looking for the best turntables at any price point, a vertical one isn't going to be the best buy. It is a matter of basic physics that its going to be easier to rotate uniformly and flatly if gravity is working with you, and the same goes for stable tracking on the tonearm.

But if you want something that'll get people talking, or just want to stare lovingly at your vinyl as you kick back with one of your favorites, this looks like it could be fun.

Ex-PlayStation executive Shawn Layden has shared his perspective on the current state of the games industry.

During a conversation at Gamescom Asia (via GamesIndustry.biz) with Raw Fury co-founder and chief publishing officer Gordon Van Dyke, Layden talked about the disappearance of AA studios and the negative impact it's had on the industry.

According to the former executive, who spent 30 years at Sony, there used to be more time spent looking at games than asking about a studio's "monetization scheme" or "recurrent revenue plan". He explained that he used to ask simple questions about a game along the lines of "Is it fun?" or "Are we having a good time", and if the answer was yes, the project would be greenlit.

"You didn't worry so much about the end piece, for better or for worse," Layden said. "Of course back then you didn't make a game for millions [of] dollars. So your risk tolerance was fairly high.

"Today, the entry costs for making a AAA game is in triple digit millions now. I think naturally, risk tolerance drops. And you're [looking] at sequels, you're looking at copycats, because the finance guys who draw the line say, 'Well, if Fortnite made this much money in this amount of time, my Fortnite knockoff can make this in that amount of time.' We're seeing a collapse of creativity in games today [with] studio consolidation and the high cost of production."

Van Dyke later asked Layden whether indie games can be a "beacon of hope" with the loss of AA studios and amid the current monetization trends in the industry.

To this Layden agreed, saying in the business there are blockbuster games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto, and then there are the indie titles, but "that middle layer that used to be where Interplay, Gremlin, Ocean, THQ, all those companies, made their money... That middle piece is gone."

"If you [can become] AAA, you survive, or if you do something interesting in the indie space, you could," Layden said. "But AA is gone. I think that's a threat to the ecosystem if you will. So I'm looking at indie stuff… With the advent of technologies, like the latest Unreal Engine or what Unity can give you, I think we can all say that the standard quality of video games is pretty high now compared to ten years ago."

Layden said that thanks to advancements in tools, games have now increased in quality unlike 10 years ago, adding, "Now if we can just get a bit more interest and excitement and exposure for these lower budget, but super creative and super unusual [type] of games... I'd like to see more of that," he said. "Because if we're just going to rely on the blockbusters to get us through, I think that's a death sentence."

According to Layden, AA has a "natural niche" among the blockbuster titles and indie games, and that is to bring "the new thing" instead of "a dollar store version of God of War".

"If you're going to pitch me your AA game, and in the first two pages of your deck is your monetisation and revenue, subscription scheme, I'm out. Your first page has to be 'This game needs to be made and here's why'," he said.

"I want to see that fire, I don't want to see 'here's the chief accountant on the team that's going to explain to you the [game's monetisation]'."

A Singaporean remote hiring platform left a large database unprotected on the internet, accessible to anyone who knew where to look. Since the database contained plenty of sensitive information, the company has inadvertently placed hundreds of thousands of people at risk of data theft, identity theft, phishing, fraud, and more.

The Cybernews research team discovered a misconfigured Amazon AWS S3 bucket in early August 2024 said to contain more than 280,000 files, including CVs and resumes.

Further investigation attributed the database to Snaphunt, an online hiring platform that connects employers with job seekers. Although it’s based in Singapore, the company is global, and thus most likely holds sensitive information on people around the world. It offers features like pre-screening, skills assessments, and remote hiring tools.

Social engineering

The archive contained information generated between 2018 and 2023, including people’s full names, phone numbers, email addresses, places of birth, nationality, date of birth, social media links, employment history, and educational background.

“The potential for social engineering attacks is elevated, as attackers can impersonate fake recruitment agencies or leverage the leaked data to infiltrate professional networks, spreading malware or extracting further confidential information,” Cybernews explained.

Job-related scams are nothing new - just this week, news broke that a company got hacked after hiring a North Korean hacker who faked their entire identity. The unnamed firm lost sensitive data and was demanded a six-figure ransom payment in exchange.

Unprotected databases remain one of the most common causes of data leaks. Many organizations, including some of the world’s biggest enterprises, were found operating internet-accessible archives with no password protection, putting many of their customers at risk.

Most of the time, the vulnerability is nothing more than an honest employee mistake.

Google’s incredible podcast generator, NotebookLM, is one of the wildest AI tools we’ve ever used, and it just got a massive upgrade that makes it even scarier.

Today, Google announced huge updates to its AI podcast tool, which means you can now guide the conversation and direct the hosts - yes, that’s right, you can now play the role of producer in an AI-generated podcast!

Before today’s update, the tool built with Gemini 1.5 would simply convert any text, audio, or video you fed it into a discussion between two hosts - it was really impressive and lifelike but there was no way to guide the conversation.

Now, Google has added a “Customize” button that lets you steer the discussion and give the hosts show notes. Google says to “think of it like slipping the AI hosts a quick note right before they go on the air, which will change how they cover your material.”

NotebookLM was already dystopian enough, and almost impossible to discern whether the hosts chatting were real or AI, but now with this new ability, we might start to see full AI-generated podcasts on Spotify and Apple Podcasts (that’s if they don’t exist already).

Want to try AI podcast generation for yourself? Check out how to use NotebookLM.

That’s not all, folks

Google may have just casually dropped the biggest NotebookLM update to date but guiding the conversation isn’t the only new addition.

A new background listening feature allows you to listen to NotebookLM Audio Overviews while working on other NotebookLM projects. That might not sound like a huge deal but considering it can take a long time to generate each audio clip, making multiple clips at once and listening to them is a significant improvement.

Combined, both new NotebookLM features take the already mind-blowing AI tool and make it substantially better. I wasn’t sold on the idea until I heard this incredible adaptation of my colleague's blog. If you want to hear just how realistic AI can be, listen below:

Netflix continues to deliver on the animation front. Having recently dropped another Arcane season 2 trailer, it's also released two more for two beloved film series'. Both feature animated animals and have surprisingly ominous vibes. Of course, neither will qualify for our best horror movies feature but the animations definitely have an edge to them.

The newest entry into the iconic Wallace and Gromit franchise was featured in my previous Netflix movies we're looking forward to feature and I'm even more excited now that the first proper trailer has dropped. Elsewhere, popular musical Sing is getting a new short that's arriving in time for Halloween.

Here's everything you need to know.

What can expect from Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl?

Release date: January 3
Director: Merlin Crossingham and Nick Park
Main cast: Ben Whitehead, Peter Kay, Reece Shearsmith, Diane Morgan

He's back! Following his first appearance in the 1993 short film The Wrong Trousers, Feathers McGraw is here to get revenge after Wallace and Gromit put him behind bars following his diamond heist. When the cheese-loving inventor creates a "smart gnome", it seems to develop a mind of its own and creates a pretty bad reputation for Wallace. It will surely come as no surprise to you that McGraw's got something to do with it.

The penguin (or is he a chicken?) has long been an ominous presence with those dead, beady eyes and he's creepy here too, as he's seen sipping from a World's Best Boss mug in the style of Michael Scott. A much creepier Michael Scott, that is.

What can we expect from Sing: Thriller?

Release date: October 16 (now playing!)
Director: Garth Jennings
Main cast: Matthew McConaughey, Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton

If our usual Halloween recommendations are too scary, Sing's latest short provides some spooky fun that's safe for the whole family. As you probably guessed by the trailer, it's based on the iconic Michael Jackson hit Thriller, dance moves included.

Specifically, Buster Moon and the cast of Sing: Thriller leave to celebrate at Clay Calloway’s Halloween party after staging a "spectacular" version of Thriller at the New Moon Theatre. But they discover a mysterious, multi-coloured ooze has transformed Clay and his guests into "dancing freaks", which isn't a very nice name to call them, but sure! A much more relaxed Halloween experience, I'm sure.

Microsoft is rolling out an update preview for the Microsoft Store, probably hoping to get users to spend more time (and maybe even some money) in it, and the biggest changes are for product pages for apps and games, which get a Netflix-like visual refresh. The preview, dubbed version 22409, is currently available to Windows Insiders in all Insider Channels – and Microsoft says that it will be available to all users soon.

Microsoft is bringing what it calls ‘an immersive experience’ to the top of app pages instead of just images and text descriptions. When you visit the page of an app or a game that has a trailer, it’ll play as you navigate around the product page. If the app or game doesn’t have an accompanying trailer, you’ll see a large catchy promotional image from the developers instead.

If you’re a user of a streaming platform (not pointing any fingers, but Netflix has been a little prolific in this) that has developed a hatred of autoplay ads, Microsoft does thankfully reassure users that you’ll be able to disable video autoplay in the Microsoft Store’s settings.

The company also notes that these new reworked product pages will be available in both light and dark modes to match your Windows 11 themes.

We’ll have to see how app and game developers respond, and Microsoft is encouraging them to make use of the Microsoft Store’s new capabilities.

(Image credit: Microsoft) One small step for the Microsoft Store...

It’s not the biggest or boldest change in the world, but I could see how gradual improvements to the user experience like this could persuade more people to try the Microsoft Store, a part of Windows 10 and Windows 11 that Microsoft is keen for more people to use.

This development follows a pretty notable update that was intended to make the Microsoft Store faster and easier to use overall. If this works as intended, hopefully you should notice that it loads faster, as well as appearing more organized - so you can find apps and games more easily.

While the company is keen to get more people to use its rather unloved store (compared to Apple’s successful App store for Macs), I can also understand why Microsoft doesn’t roll out huge updates at once. Especially considering the journey Windows 11 has been on, updates can sometimes be buggy or even disruptive thanks to unexpected quirks. 

I'd like to see the Microsoft Store become a robust, functional, and trustworthy place for Windows users to download and install apps and games - and that’s not going to happen if Microsoft rushes out a load of updates that break almost as many things as they fix. If Microsoft really wants the Microsoft Store to be a success, it’s going to have to take its time.

Google Flights is adding new options to help you find the absolute cheapest deal for your next getaway – that is if you’re willing to make your trip a little more complex and less convenient.

Previously, if you’ve used Google Flights to help your source cheap air fares the results will be decided based on an algorithm that balances price and convenience. However, if you’re willing to sacrifice some of the latter there could be a better deal out there, and that’s where the new 'Cheapest' tab comes in.

While browsing options within Google Flights you can now swap from Best to Cheapest to see the lowest-cost options. Perhaps they’re sourced from a third-party booking site rather than the airline, or it could be that Google suggests a round trip that starts and ends at different airports in the same city.

Google’s official blog adds that other inconveniences could include flights with longer layovers, self-transfers, or purchasing different legs of your trip across different booking sites.

Obviously there are some significant additional factors to consider with these trickier options. If you fly in and out of different airports you’ll likely need to rely on a cab, public transport or a friend to drop you off or pick you up, which may involve additional coast, and if you arrange a self-transfer you’ll be responsible for picking up your luggage and checking it on your next flight – and if there are any delays you could get stranded at an airport that isn’t your destination.

But if you’re willing to take on these additional inconveniences and risks, the new Cheapest tab is worth exploring if you're simply looking for the lowest-possible price – and even if you’re more risk averse it’s worth a glance to see if the savings can tempt you.

From The Jimi Hendrix Experience to Haim, Boygenius and Bananarama, when it comes to music, trios can be tremendous – and that applies to the hardware we hear them on too. And Sony's trio of top-end headphones, the WF-1000XM5, WH-1000XM5 and LinkBuds S, have just got a bunch of new features that make some of the best Sony headphones even better.

The new features are available via a firmware update that should arrive automatically via your app. And among the new features there's the much-wanted support for Google's Find My service, which enables you to locate errant earbuds and hiding headphones – it can be a huge timesaver. There is a slight catch, however: the feature only works if your headphones are set to Classic Audio connections.

Sony's headphone update: key new features

In addition to Find My, Sony has also introduced support for Google Fast Pair, and the update also delivers Auto Switch, which enables you to easily transfer audio from the WF-1000XM5 and WH-1000XM5 to the new the new LinkBuds speaker that launched recently.

In order to get the firmware update, you'll need to be running iOS 16 or later, Android 9.0 or later, and the Sony Sound Connect app. The update version depends on your hardware: as Notebookcheck.net reports, it's firmware version 2.3.1 for the WF-1000XM5, firmware version 4.0.2 for the WH-1000XM5 and firmware version 4.2.1 for the LinkBuds S.

These are very welcome updates, especially the Find My one: if like us your earbuds are always doing a disappearing act, it'll save a great deal of searching and probably reduce your swearing too. It's a feature we love to see on the best wireless earbuds especially (given that they're more prone to being lost). Quietly, one of the big selling points of the AirPods Pro 2 is their near-unloseable case, and it's great to see some version of Find My becoming common on more and more buds.

Two individuals accused of DDoSing big tech firms, as well as the FBI, have been officially charged by the US government.

The duo, according to the indictment, were part of Anonymous Sudan, which engaged in recent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against the University of Cambridge, multiple French government agencies, Microsoft, and ChatGPT, to name a few.

Now, in an unsealed indictment, the US Attorney’s Office claims Ahmed Salah Yousif Omer, and Alaa Salah Yusuuf Omer, are members of the hacking collective. They were "operating and controlling Anonymous Sudan”, the government agency says, “an online cyber criminal group responsible for tens of thousands of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against critical infrastructure, corporate networks, and government agencies in the United States and around the world."

CISA recommendations

The pair were charged with one count of conspiracy to damage protected computers, with Ahmed Salah also being charged with three counts of damaging protected computers.

The group first appeared in the media in early 2023. Around January that year, it was reported that Anonymous Sudan targeted Swedish organizations with DDoS attacks. The group claimed to be a Sudanese hacktivist collective motivated by political reasons, but subsequent investigations suggested that "Anonymous Sudan" was likely a Russian information operation designed to disrupt Sweden’s NATO application process​.

Although initially portraying themselves as part of the broader "Anonymous" movement, cybersecurity analysts have largely dismissed these claims due to significant differences in their tactics and motivations​.

Analogue has announced that pre-orders for its reimagined Nintendo 64 console, the Analogue 3D, will open next week.

The company shared the news in a lengthy blog post where it shared even more details about the Analogue 3D, including its specifications, the first images of the system, and its price.

A black and white version of the Analogue 3D will be available to pre-order and both will be priced at $249.99 (around £192.33) Controllers, designed by 8bitdo, will be sold separately from the console and will cost $39.99 (around £30.99).

Pre-orders will open on October 21 at 8am PDT / 11am EST / 4pm BST. The system was originally slated for a 2024 launch, but Analogue has confirmed it will now launch early next year in Q1 2025.

The Analogue 3D is a modernized take on the N64 featuring 4K resolution that will upscale the console's classic games. Analogue calls it "the greatest multiplayer system of all time" and is 100 per cent compatible with every original N64 title ever made.

It's also region-free, features Bluetooth, dual-band Wifi, four original-style controller ports, and an SD card slot, and requires no emulation.

"Analogue 3D represents a milestone in video game preservation," Analogue said. "It’s not just a reimagining of the N64 - it’s the first fully compatible, hardware-accurate recreation, fully compatible with the entire N64 game library.

"After nearly four years of dedicated FPGA engineering, Analogue 3D overcomes the limitations of software emulation—no input lag, no graphic or audio inaccuracies, no timing or frame rate problems. This is the N64, perfected and true to its core."

Despite the US’s best efforts to sanction chip exports to Chinese companies, Huawei is reportedly still accessing components through strategic partnerships.

Companies like Pengzinzu, SwaySure Technology, Qingdao Si’En and “potentially many others” are suspected of being part of a “clandestine network” of organizations supporting Huawei to maintain its access to restricted chips (via SCMP).

The concerns were raised by House China Select Committee Chairman John Moolenaar and Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi in a recent letter addressed to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.

Huawei is reportedly circumventing US chip sanctions

The US and many of its allies have already imposed significant restrictions on the sale of advanced chips and manufacturing equipment to China, including companies like Applied Materials and ASML Holding, however they have proven broadly unsuccessful.

The efforts, hoped to stifle China’s development of advanced semiconductors, which the US believes could benefit the nation’s military, have been hard to regulate. Chinese firms were previously observed accessing Nvidia’s A100 and H100 chips via cloud computing services such as AWS.

Huawei’s latest smartphone, powered by a seven-nanometer chip from Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC), represents a major advancement, triggering calls for stricter controls.

“We must continue in our efforts to deny Huawei, and similar firms, the ability to access US technology," wrote Moolenaar and Krishnamoorthi.

Concerns have also been raised about delayed processes, which have allowed Chinese companies to stockpile advanced equipment.

On the other side, companies are worried export sanctions might significantly impact business. ASML says that China accounts for around one-fifth of its revenue (via Bloomberg).

Moreover, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning described the US as “overstretching the concept of national security, setting barriers and undermining normal cooperation between the two countries” at a Beijing press briefing.

The Commerce Department has acknowledged receipt of the letter and indicated that it would respond through the appropriate channels.

Just days after Google announced it would be investing in nuclear energy to fuel its AI data centers, Amazon has confirmed it, too, is on board with nuclear.

The company has announced several of agreements and investments focusing on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in an effort to clean up its energy supply and address the growing demand for power as a result of the AI boom.

Although Amazon still remains committed to other clean energy sources, it stated nuclear forms an important part of a mix thanks to its proven reliability.

Amazon hedges its bets on nuclear

“Nuclear is a safe source of carbon-free energy that can help power our operations and meet the growing demands of our customers, while helping us progress toward our Climate Pledge commitment to be net-zero carbon across our operations by 2040," AWS CEO Matt Garman commented.

“Our agreements will encourage the construction of new nuclear technologies that will generate energy for decades to come.”

The new agreements include a partnership with Energy Northwest to develop reactors that are set to generate 320 megawatts in the first phase, with the potential to expand to 960 megawatts – the equivalent of around 770,000 homes.

Another agreement with Dominion Energy to explore an SMR project in Virginia could provide at least 300 megawatts of power in the region, which is establishing itself as a tech hub and could see demand rise by a staggering 85% in the next 15 years.

Amazon will also invest in X-energy, a company that develops SMR technology, to support over five gigawatts of nuclear projects.

Besides the sustainability credentials, Amazon is also keen to point out that its projects will support around 1,000 temporary construction roles and 100 permanent operational roles for the Energy Northwest Project alone.

This is on top of the company’s previously announcement to co-locate a data center facility next to a Talen Energy nuclear plant for directly provided carbon-free energy.

Artificial intelligence will contribute $19.9 trillion to the global economy through 2030 and drive 3.5% of global GDP in 2030, according to new research from IDC’s The Global Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Economy and Jobs. The report goes on to claim that there is “accelerated development and deployment defined by widespread integration that's led to a surge in enterprise investments aimed at significantly optimizing operational costs and timelines.” Clearly AI is no longer a future, aspirational technology but today an increasingly essential driver of business transformation.

Yet, the rapid pace of AI development means that creating an effective AI strategy can be complex. It demands flexibility, resilience, and a future-ready infrastructure but given so much legacy technology and differing attitudes to what is the best path to take, this is not an easy thing to put into place. While most leaders recognize that the potential is significant, the path to success lies in building an AI strategy that not only aligns with business objectives but also adapts to evolving technology capabilities.

AI models, particularly large language models (LLMs), require significant resources and infrastructure to perform at their best. Organizations, therefore, need a strategy that allows them to quickly integrate new AI models, without causing disruption or push up costs. The solution? A flexible approach that incorporates cloud integration, containerization, and automation.

Start as you mean to go on

The starting point of any AI journey must be identifying a core business problem that AI can help solve. AI is a powerful tool, but without a clear application, it can easily become a costly distraction. Focus on business areas where AI can drive value, whether that’s optimizing customer service, improving fraud detection, or predicting maintenance needs. Ensuring AI is tied to measurable outcomes is the foundation of an effective strategy and makes it easier to sell internally too.

Furthermore, the flexibility to adopt a "bring your own large language model" (BYOL) approach enables organizations to customize AI to their needs. This method, which integrates public models like those from Nvidia or Hugging Face, allows businesses to refine these models with private data, ensuring solutions are aligned with specific business challenges. It’s a powerful way to use cutting-edge technology, while keeping control of sensitive data.

Any AI strategy worth its salt must be built on a flexible cloud infrastructure. The demands of AI are not static; they evolve rapidly as more complex models and data sets come into play. A cloud-first approach allows organizations to manage these changes without costly, time-consuming hardware upgrades.

Hybrid and multicloud environments offer even greater flexibility, giving businesses the power to move workloads between on-premises and public clouds depending on their specific needs. This flexibility is key to managing the dynamic nature of AI development, where rapid iteration and model refinement are essential. Cloud integration also enables easier scalability, allowing enterprises to handle increased data volumes and computational demands, as their AI projects grow.

However, AI’s dependence on data raises important questions around security and governance. As businesses scale their AI initiatives, they will be handling vast amounts of data, much of it sensitive. This is particularly true in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government, where data privacy is paramount. Organizations must ensure their AI strategy includes robust data governance protocols that protect both the data they’re using and the outputs their AI models produce.

Cloud-based environments offer built-in security features that can help protect data across various platforms. However, understanding your own data and applying AI models to it effectively is a key challenge. Organizations must ask the right questions - where is my data stored? How is it secured? How is it used in training AI models?

Automation can unlock AI’s full potential

Automation plays a crucial role in the successful deployment of AI. Managing AI workloads across multicloud environments can be time-consuming and resource-intensive if done manually. By automating tasks, such as resource allocation and scaling, businesses can deploy AI models faster and more efficiently. This also reduces operational costs, allowing IT teams to focus on more strategic objectives.

AI applications benefit greatly from using containers - small, lightweight environments that package AI models and their dependencies. These containers allow AI systems to be deployed quickly and moved seamlessly between different environments. By using Kubernetes to manage these containers, businesses can achieve the agility needed to stay competitive in an AI-driven world. Kubernetes, in particular, enables organizations to orchestrate complex AI workloads across cloud platforms, ensuring optimal performance.

This becomes even more important when we consider skills shortages. One of the most significant challenges in AI adoption is the lack of specialized talent, both in AI development and cloud management. The fast-paced nature of AI requires teams that can quickly adapt to new tools and techniques. However, the reality is that many organizations lack the in-house expertise to meet this demand.

Automation provides a solution to this challenge by reducing the complexity of AI deployment. Organizations can rely on automated systems to handle many of the operational tasks traditionally managed by highly specialized teams, freeing-up resources, to focus on optimizing AI models and drive business value.

With the rapid evolution of AI technologies, ensuring responsible implementation is crucial. Organizations must focus on compliance, governance, and ethical considerations when deploying AI. Responsible AI is about more than just technology, it’s about ensuring that the outputs generated by AI models are transparent, fair, and free from bias.

This is particularly important as businesses integrate AI into more sensitive areas, such as customer support, fraud detection, or decision-making processes. By building compliance into AI infrastructure from the outset, organizations can avoid potential pitfalls and ensure their AI deployments are both effective and responsible.

The key to future success is building a strategy that can evolve with technology. Flexible cloud infrastructure, automation, and containerization are critical components of this strategy, enabling businesses to adapt quickly to new advancements in AI but it is also about culture. Getting a strategy right is about people as much as the technology. For those who are prepared to embrace it with agility, responsibility, and strategic foresight, the future is undeniably bright.

In the past five years, where, how and when we work has shifted.

Even if your workforce is remote, hybrid or in-office, the lines between office and home have blurred irreversibly.

If you are in the arena of knowledge work, where most tasks are done on devices like laptops or mobile devices, it can be assumed that there’s a data bleed between what’s strictly personal and what’s strictly for work.

Even if you issue separate devices intended to be dedicated to work, it’s no longer safe to assume that there’s a leakproof barrier separating work data, devices, networks, and applications from any public or personal data, devices, networks, and applications.

In-office policies may create an illusion of separation — and, thus, an illusion of security — but the truth is far more complex. According to recent research, 84% of employees use personal devices for work-related tasks (known as “Bring Your Own Device,” or “BYOD”). An alarming 78% of employees admit to doing so even when company policy stipulates that using personal devices for work (and vice-versa) is unacceptable.

When writing or speaking on this topic, I always make it clear that this isn’t about malicious intent or employees deliberately exposing the workplace to risks. While internal malice exists, accidental exposure is far more common. Employees may be unaware of company policies surrounding cross-contamination between personal and work devices and data access. They may use the same logins and passwords. They may log onto corporate devices on unsecured public Wi-Fi networks for a quick email check. They may engage in “shadow IT” by using preferred tools and applications, even if those are unsanctioned by IT and, thus, unregulated.

In another version of this scenario, an employee may be aware of policies but not fully understand what’s at stake or be able to draw a clear line between their actions and the potential consequences. For many well-meaning employees, it’s easy to bend the rules when the stakes feel irrelevant.

The illusion of BYOD security

To combat cross-contamination, imagine that you’ve issued dedicated devices for work. You strictly enforce that work devices are shut down at the end of the day, or perhaps even physically stay in the office so there’s no temptation to blur the lines. You have an unwavering policy prohibiting workplace usage of personal devices. You have ironclad perimeters set up banning access to prohibited tools and applications.

This can create a perception of security, just as in-office mandates can create a perception of control. But this can have the opposite of the intended effect, causing managers to rely on policies and infrastructure for regulations and letting their guard down.

In reality, people use the same passwords across devices. They use incognito mode to access the material they want to access. They address personal matters during their break time. And they often feel pressured to address work matters on their personal time.

Again, it’s not malice. It’s being human, and it’s the reality of our current, hyperconnected world. Using an in-office mandate as a corporate security measure is like using a net to hold water. The boundaries and restrictions are present and evident. Your territory is marked. And yet, while the “net” might prevent some big materials from floating past your boundaries, it can’t control the constant inflow and outflow of everything else.

As a leader, this is a challenging situation. It’s frustrating, and it may feel like trying to hold water in a net. That’s understandable. The traditional arsenal of IT tools, predominantly designed for in-office environments, falls seriously short in managing the current hyperconnected digital landscape. A mere 63% of IT teams are equipped to track BYOD alongside corporate-owned assets, leaving a gaping hole in corporate security protocols.

The good news is that the situation is not hopeless.

Embracing Unified Endpoint Management (UEM)

Regardless of your workplace model, it's time for a paradigm shift towards Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solutions capable of managing the myriad devices accessing corporate networks. UEM solutions represent a quantum leap forward in cybersecurity, offering organizations the agility and flexibility to navigate the complexities of “everywhere work.” Over the past few years, UEM solutions have become incredibly popular among forward-thinking remote and hybrid workplaces. Still, it’s time for all workplace environments to recognize the ubiquity of everywhere work and look for a solution that matches the moment.

By extending security protocols to encompass personal devices and remote work environments, UEM empowers organizations to fortify their defense mechanisms against emerging threats. A UEM solution should be able to discover, manage and secure any device that may access corporate data and networks, regardless of who owns that device and where they’re using it. These solutions can help enforce comprehensive security measures like stringent password policies, system access protocols and data management software.

The truth is clear: data security cannot be confined within office walls, any more than water can be confined within a net. Whether your workforce is in-office, remote or a blend of both, the imperative remains the same: safeguarding sensitive information against evolving threats while optimizing productivity and supporting the digital employee experience. In-office mandates, although well-intentioned, may offer a false sense of security. The reality is that data breaches can occur irrespective of physical work locations. That means the focus must shift toward implementing comprehensive security measures beyond the perimeter (literal and proverbial). In embracing the principles of everywhere work, organizations lay the foundation for a secure, agile and future-ready enterprise.
