Through strategic international cooperation, investment in aviation platforms, personnel development and modern maintenance practices, the KDF continues to advance its capacity to respond to evolving operational requirements and emerging security challenges. The Kenya Army Corps of Aviation (KACA) has today obtained MD500 helicopters from the Republic of Korea (ROK) at its Headquarters in Embakasi. The modernisation initiative involved a collaboration between the Governments of Kenya, the Republic of Korea and the United States of America. The US Government facilitated the installation of advanced digital systems on the helicopters and supported the training of Kenya Army pilots and technicians to enhance their skills in operating and maintaining the modernised aircraft. This milestone marks an important step in the continued development of Kenya Army’s military aviation capabilities and underscores the value of modern aircraft in supporting operational effectiveness. Speaking during the occasion, the Cabinet Secretary for Defence, Hon. Soipan Tuya, noted that the modernised MD500 helicopters would enhance the KDF’s capabilities in reconnaissance, aerial support, mobility and critical security operations. The Chief of the Defence Forces (CDF), General Charles Kahariri, commended the trilateral partnership between Kenya, the Republic of Korea and the United States, noting that it provides a strong foundation for enhanced security cooperation. He highlighted that the new capabilities would enhance security, counter-terrorism efforts, peace support operations and humanitarian assistance. The Kenya Army Commander, Lieutenant General David Keter, expressed appreciation for the partnership between Kenya, the Republic of Korea and the United States, noting that the collaboration strengthens Kenya Army’s aviation capabilities. He thanked the Government and people of the Republic of Korea for their support and commended the United States Government for providing the technical expertise required to install advanced digital systems on the aircraft. He also acknowledged the Ministry of Defence for its continued support and strategic leadership, reaffirming the Kenya Army’s commitment to safeguarding the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity while contributing to regional peace and security. H.E. Ambassador Kang Hyung-shik of the Republic of Korea underscored the deepening diplomatic, economic and security ties between the Republic of Korea and Kenya. He highlighted that the transfer of military equipment reflects mutual trust and a shared commitment to regional peace and stability. Susan Burns, Chargé d’ Affaires of the United States, underscored the importance of the trilateral security partnership between Kenya, the United States and the Republic of Korea in promoting regional stability and addressing shared security challenges. She noted that modernised military equipment and international cooperation strengthen Kenya’s role as a trusted security partner, from counter-terrorism efforts in East Africa to peacekeeping missions abroad. She added that sustained investment in security creates the stability and confidence necessary for economic growth and long-term prosperity. Brigadier General Jayson Becker, the Deputy Commanding Officer for the Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa highlighted the trilateral partnership between Kenya, the United States and the Republic of Korea as a demonstration of their shared commitment to regional peace, stability and security. He described Kenya as a trusted partner and a key pillar in efforts to stabilise the Horn of Africa. He noted that the helicopters, their technical support, training and Kenya’s investment in human capital would strengthen capabilities to address complex security challenges in East Africa and beyond. Both The Republic of Korea and the United States of America expressed appreciation for the trust placed in them by the Government of Kenya, reaffirming Kenya’s position as a trusted partner in advancing defence cooperation and regional security. The reception of the MD500 helicopters marks another milestone in international collaboration and the development of Kenya’s military aviation capabilities. Through sustained investment, professional development and strategic partnerships, Kenya continues to strengthen operational readiness and its contribution to regional peace and stability.

Stats SA is central to evidence-based planning and policymaking, committee members said, providing the information required for monitoring economic growth, employment, poverty, governance and service delivery. Nonetheless, the committee raised concerned about Stats SA’s 23% vacancy rate, with some programmes recording significantly higher vacancy levels. For example, the South African National Statistics System programme reported a vacancy rate of 43.8%, raising concerns about long-term sustainability and institutional capacity. The committee also noted weaknesses in consequence management at Stats SA and raised concerns about the slow progress in investigating accumulated irregular expenditure of approximately R851 million and fruitless and wasteful expenditure of R14 million. During deliberations, committee members highlighted concerns around asset management, including the safeguarding of electronic devices used during census operations. The committee questioned whether sufficient preventative measures had been implemented to recover stolen devices and reduce the likelihood of similar incidents occurring in the future. The committee recognised that Stats SA successfully averted a major cyberattack but emphasised that additional investments in cybersecurity, ICT infrastructure and digital systems are required to safeguard critical data and modernise the organisation’s operations. While Stats SA spent 99.3% of its allocated budget, the committee noted that the organisation continues to face severe financial and operational constraints. Members called for a comprehensive recruitment and retention strategy to address scarce skills shortages and ensure that Stats SA remains capable of delivering high-quality statistical products and services. The committee welcomed Brand South Africa’s fourth consecutive clean audit. Members acknowledged the entity’s efforts to enhance South Africa’s international profile through platforms such as the G20 Presidency, the World Economic Forum and investment promotion engagements. The committee noted that Brand SA spent approximately R263.5 million against a budget of R235.2 million, representing expenditure of about 112% of its available budget. However, Brand SA achieved only 82% of its performance targets. Members questioned the relationship between expenditure and outcomes and called for stronger evidence demonstrating value for money and measurable impact. They were also concerned about Brand SA’s vacancy rate of approximately 28%, including vacancies in finance and other critical positions. Members noted that Brand SA’s structure has not been reviewed since 2014, despite changes in the communications environment and its expanding responsibilities. The committee also voiced its concern about the absence of a fully functional internal audit unit. Members warned that this presents risks to governance, financial management, operations and risk management. The committee further raised concerns about fruitless and wasteful expenditure amounting to R5.35 million and irregular expenditure relating to work performed without a valid contract. Members called for stronger consequence management, contract management and accountability mechanisms. The committee also questioned inconsistencies identified between Brand SA’s annual report, presentations and supporting documentation. Members noted discrepancies in some rankings, indicators and calculations presented to Parliament and called for improved quality assurance and verification processes. Members of the committee questioned the effectiveness of Brand SA’s efforts to counter negative international narratives, misinformation and geopolitical tensions that may affect South Africa’s reputation globally. Members requested evidence demonstrating how these interventions have protected and enhanced South Africa’s image and investment attractiveness. The committee also asked for clarity on discussions about the possibility of consolidating Brand SA with other government marketing entities and requested further information on the sustainability of its partnership-funding model and multilateral partnerships. As part of its recommendations, the committee directed the DPME, Stats SA and Brand SA to submit corrective action plans addressing governance shortcomings, audit findings, vacancies, institutional risks and performance weaknesses. The committee also called for regular reporting to Parliament on progress in implementing the committee’s recommendations. Committee Chairperson Ms Teliswa Mgweba said the committee will continue to closely monitor progress. “Parliament’s oversight responsibility goes beyond expenditure tracking and target reporting. Our focus is to ensure that public resources result in measurable outcomes, stronger institutions and meaningful improvements in the lives of South Africans. Accountability, consequence management and effective implementation remain critical to achieving these objectives,” said Ms Mgweba.

Prime Minister Dr. Moustafa Madbouly and Minister of Defense and Military Production, Lieutenant General Ashraf Salem Zaher attended and Minister of Interior Major General Mahmoud Tawfik, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, and Egyptian Expatriates Dr. Badr Abdelatty and the Chief of the Armed Forces Operations Authority, also Head of the National Authority for Crisis and Emergency Management Lieutenant General Mohamed Abdel Rahman Rabie participated in the session. The Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy, stated that the session started with screening of film that highlighted the efforts of state institutions, mainly the Ministry of Interior, to ensure security and safety for citizens, particularly since January 2011. The Minister of Interior outlined the efforts undertaken to advance the security apparatus, combat criminal activity, restore security to Egyptian streets, and ensure a rapid response to citizens' reports. As an example, he noted a significant decline in vehicle thefts—a reduction of 94%. He further explained that the Ministry of Interior has implemented a comprehensive strategy to reshape security operations in light of evolving criminal tactics. This strategy is built upon five pillars: upgrading police facilities and equipping them with modern technology to keep pace with advancements across various sectors; establishing an integrated, science-based security framework that utilizes AI and early detection of criminal patterns to devise effective countermeasures—a process that required modernizing operations centers across all governorates and linking them to a central hub; developing human capital—a prerequisite for the success of this framework—which involved creating new specialized security functions, including units focused on cybercrime, intellectual property, and the early monitoring of terrorist organizations; fostering public awareness to serve as a vital line of defense against attempts to undermine national stability and public safety; and finally modernizing penal policies regarding convicts. The Chief of the Armed Forces Operations Authority, also Head of the National Authority for Crisis and Emergency Management, outlined the operational mechanisms of both the In his remarks, the Minister of Foreign Affairs noted that foreign policy has become a matter of interest to all segments of Egyptian society primarily because it is an extension of domestic policy and the two are interconnected. An effective foreign policy stems from domestic stability, while events abroad, in turn, impact the internal situation. He noted that Egypt is surrounded by nations experiencing crises and conflicts, which directly concern Egypt’s national security. He highlighted that Egypt maintains strategic ties and partnerships with various global powers, managing them with wisdom in accordance with the doctrine of "strategic balance" established by the President. Regarding Red Sea security, he noted that Egypt is working to achieve security and stability, in cooperation with the littoral states, by fostering partnerships across various sectors—including logistics, the economy, and tourism development. As for the African sphere, the Minister emphasized that Egypt’s economic and developmental future is intrinsically linked to development across Africa. He noted that the President has made 38 visits to African nations—an unprecedented number—underscoring that this outreach strengthens solidarity with the African countries. The Minister of Foreign Affairs described the issue of water security as an existential matter, asserting that the lives of 110 million Egyptians can not be made contingent upon the unilateral will of any other party. He stressed that Egypt merely calls for the application of international law. He further outlined the principles guiding Egypt’s policy toward the Horn of Africa: non-interference in the internal affairs of other states; respect for the unity and sovereignty of these nations—with a firm rejection of any secession, partition, or fragmentation in the Horn of Africa and the facilitation of maritime access through coordination and agreement with neighboring states. The Minister reaffirmed Egypt’s historic ties with Sudan, emphasizing its support for Sudan's unity and stability. He stated that Egypt will not permit the division of Sudan, nor will it allow the collapse of its state institutions. Furthermore, he noted that Egypt continues to engage with other regional stakeholders to pursue a political solution in Sudan. Regarding the Palestinian issue, the Minister reaffirmed the President’s steadfast position that rejects the displacement of Palestinians. He also highlighted Egypt’s ongoing efforts to ensure the continued flow of humanitarian aid, which exceeded one million tons, through the Rafah crossing, while working to preserve the Palestinian cause against schemes aimed at its liquidation and striving to achieve Palestinian consensus. The President made an intervention to emphasize that undermining state institutions is a recurring tactic intended to cause the collapse of states—a pattern clearly evident during 2011. The President pointed out that the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Interior serve as the two pillars of national security, noting that the Ministry of Interior remains a target. The President further observed that a review of events over the past few years reveals that the idea of ​​targeting and building a negative impression of the Ministry of Interior's practices is persistent, and that there is sometimes unintentional participation in building this impression through daily interaction with events. In this regard, the President stressed that this places a burden on the Ministry of Interior to adopt initiatives to improve and maintain the public's perception of the Ministry. The President reiterated that the targeting of the security institution in 2011 was among the objectives of implementing the plan against the Egyptian State. President El-Sisi emphasized the necessity of preserving state institutions, noting that the failure to protect them is what leads to the collapse of states, which in turn causes severe problems. The President pointed out that the current situation in the region illustrates this reality. President El-Sisi emphasized the need to refresh public memory and shed light on the events of 2011 to ensure that they are not repeated. The President referred to the attacks targeting security forces, the storming of police stations and prisons, and the escape of 33,000 prisoners, along with the resulting repercussions.  President El-Sisi mentioned that what had been accomplished regarding the construction, redevelopment, and modernization of reform and rehabilitation centers, stemmed from an ethical, religious, and humanitarian perspective, ensuring the principle that a person should not be punished twice for the same offense. Accordingly, the focus was placed on rebuilding individuals' character and transforming convicted persons into productive members of society. This prompted the state to convert prisons into correctional and rehabilitation centers. The President underscored the importance of arranging visits to these centers to assess the efforts made in this regard.  President El-Sisi reaffirmed that the massive damage inflicted on the country before 2011 had prompted the state to consider a new approach to the security sector's responsibilities concerning detention conditions, an area that is also being targeted. The President therefore instructed the Ministries of Defense and Interior to develop ideas and initiatives for maintaining continuous communication with the Egyptian people, ensuring that no rift occurs between the people and state institutions. President El-Sisi stated that the fundamental constants of Egypt's foreign policy since 2014 have been based on non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, refraining from conspiracies, preserving the unity of the nation-state and its institutions, refusing to engage with armed militias, cooperating in reconstruction, development, and nation-building, and pursuing positive engagement through balanced relations with all parties. The President stressed the need to to adhere to strategic balance and avoid letting the state be driven into taking actions or steps based on popular pressure. The Minister noted that the volume of treated water being reused had reached 23.2 billion cubic meters annually. These efforts aim to protect citizens from the effects of any unilateral measures that might be taken, mitigate the consequences of climate change, and respond to population growth. He also reviewed details of several projects implemented in Egypt to secure water supplies. With regard to the Ethiopian dam, the Minister noted that Egypt had exercised patience and consistently handled the situation with calm at all times. The Egyptian state had done everything within its power on this issue, both through negotiations and through the Declaration of Principles agreement, which served as a step toward demonstrating Egypt's good intentions toward the Ethiopian people. Unfortunately, however, the Ethiopian side failed to implement the Declaration of Principles. The Minister further explained that negotiations hosted by Washington had resulted in an agreement approved by the Ethiopian and Sudanese sides, as well as Egypt. The agreement was balanced and served the interests of all parties. However, the Ethiopian side withdrew before signing it. Matters subsequently evolved into different tracks that yielded no results until the Egyptian state decided not to continue negotiations. The Minister also pointed out that the Nile Basin comprises more than just Ethiopia. During President El-Sisi's tenure, Egypt's relations with the other countries of the southern Nile Basin had reached their highest levels. This cooperation had taken various forms, including Egyptian investments totaling $120 million in these countries; projects involving water wells, dams, and flood protection; technical support for establishing meteorological forecasting centers; and reciprocal visits. The Minister noted that solutions were available, but achieving them required the necessary goodwill from all parties. He noted that it would be possible to establish an electricity grid connecting Egypt with all Nile Basin countries. Consequently, electricity should not be used as a justification for building dams, since electricity is a technical issue that can be resolved in the future. He added that if the goals of building dams were to share water resources, the Nile Basin countries receive approximately 7,000 billion cubic meters of rainfall, which could be harnessed, collected, and directed toward agriculture, drinking water, or industry. The Minister explained that the Nile Basin's annual water resources range from 1,600 to 2,000 billion cubic meters, while Egypt receives 55.5 billion cubic meters annually. This represents less than 3% of the rainfall across the Nile Basin countries. This indicates that there is no water shortage across the Nile Basin as a whole, whereas Egypt faces a water crisis because of its limited water resources. Accordingly, Egypt and the other Nile Basin countries could cooperate to harness available water resources and achieve mutual benefits for all countries in the basin. President El-Sisi concluded his remarks by emphasizing the need to continue strengthening Egypt's capabilities and ensuring that Egyptian public opinion remains resolute and strong, given the numerous risks facing the country, which are not limited to the Ethiopian dam. The President added that Arab national security is indivisible, stressing that the stability of Egypt's brothers in the Gulf is a matter of concern to Egypt from a national security perspective. The President further emphasized the need to restore stability throughout the Arab world, including in Sudan, Libya, and Somalia, affirming that Egypt's support for the Gulf states is an extension of the shared Arab national security framework. President El-Sisi also pointed out that Egypt's military efforts are intended to defend the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and do not include launching attacks on Yemen. The President reiterated that the objective is to defend the Kingdom's territory and borders, as well as the territory of any other Arab state if requested of Egypt, and that Egyptian military deployment does not extend beyond Egypt's borders except to aid a sisterly country whose security and stability Egypt is keen to safeguard.

The latest ESI Africa Industry Insights: Energy & Storage Volume 5 (2026) (https://apo-opa.co/3UANmwN) examines the gap between increasingly affordable technologies and the financing, regulation and infrastructure planning needed to support deployment. According to BloombergNEF, stationary battery pack prices fell to around US$70/kWh in 2025, a 45% year-on-year decline. Yet of the US$13.84 billion in energy transition investment Africa attracted in 2025, tracked by Electron Intelligence, just US$666 million, less than 5%, went towards storage and flexibility. For Nicolette Pombo-van Zyl, Editor-in-Chief of ESI Africa, storage has become essential to energy development.  “It is now the part that decides whether a project gets financed, whether a grid stays stable after sunset and whether the clean energy already being generated is actually used. The industry's challenge is that capital, regulation and data have not yet caught up with that reality,” says Pombo-van Zyl. Understanding storage economics and infrastructure needs The publication examines battery storage economics, including South African modelling that places lithium iron phosphate ahead of competing chemistries for stationary applications. It also considers how deployment scale, degradation in hot climates, financing costs, import tariffs and freight affect project viability. Emerging battery technologies and their potential implications for Africa’s mineral value chains feature alongside cybersecurity risks and long-duration storage solutions. The volume also examines Africa’s expanding distributed solar market. According to Ember, approximately 26GW of solar was installed across Africa between 2023 and 2025, with only a quarter accounted for in utility-scale and off-grid figures. Improved registration and data could help planners understand this growth and its impact on electricity networks. Connecting investment with delivery The African Infrastructure Elites section highlights the growing role of storage in renewable energy financing, featuring developments including Scatec’s Obelisk project in Egypt and Mulilo’s Hartebeesfontein battery storage project. “Battery prices have done their part. What happens next depends on decisions that sit with regulators, utilities and financiers around how storage is valued for the services it provides, how it is protected as connected infrastructure, and how quickly projects are prepared to the point where capital can move. Those are solvable problems, and the sector already has the tools to solve them,” says Pombo-van Zyl.

The GitLab application is not written in PHP and does not run it to serve web requests, and our Security team has found no evidence of impact to GitLab-managed infrastructure. GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, and GitLab Dedicated are not impacted. PHP is a widely used programming language that runs on web servers and powers popular platforms like WordPress, Drupal, and Magento, so a flaw in PHP itself can affect many websites and applications. On October 21, 2026, the PHP project fixed two critical remote code execution flaws in PHP, together known as PHP2Shell (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619). PHP rates both 9.2 on CVSS v4.0. The flaws are in the PHP engine, not in any framework, library, or application code, so there is no application-level fix. Any web server that runs PHP is affected, including NGINX and Apache. The PHP project confirmed the vulnerability on Apache with mod_php, where an unauthenticated request can achieve remote code execution before any application code runs. Upgrade every server and container that runs PHP to serve web requests to PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36, or 8.2.35, or to your distribution’s patched package now. This guide is for security and platform teams with PHP projects on GitLab. It covers the fixed version for each PHP branch and distribution, how to use GitLab features to locate PHP projects across your groups, how to track remediation, and how to check for signs of compromise. Upgrade PHP to a fixed version now Upgrade the PHP runtime on every host and in every container image to a fixed version. Framework updates, Composer updates, input validation, and authentication don’t help, because PHP handles the request before application code runs. BranchFixed in PHP 8.5.x8.5.12 PHP 8.4.x8.4.27 PHP 8.3.x8.3.36 PHP 8.2.x8.2.35 (end of life December 31, 2026) PHP 8.6 release candidates8.6.0RC4. The official php:8.6-rc image was still on RC3 on October 21, and RC3 does not have the fix. PHP 8.1 and olderNo official release. PHP published minimal source backports for 7.4, 8.0, and 8.1, and some distributions ship patched packages. If your PHP comes from a distribution package, upgrade that package. Fixed package versions as of October 22: DistributionFixed package Ubuntu 26.04php8.5 8.5.4-0ubuntu1.5 Ubuntu 24.04php8.3 8.3.6-0ubuntu0.24.04.13 Ubuntu 22.04php8.1 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.28 Debian 13php8.4 8.4.27-1~deb13u1 Debian 12php8.2 8.2.35-1~deb12u1 Alpine 3.24php83 8.3.36, php84 8.4.27, php85 8.5.12 RHEL 10php 8.3.36-1.el10_2 (RHSA-2026:87070), php8.4 8.4.27-1.el10_2 (RHSA-2026:87071) RHEL 9php 8.0.30-8.el9_8.1 (RHSA-2026:87151), php:8.2 8.2.35-1 (RHSA-2026:87072), php:8.3 8.3.36-1 (RHSA-2026:87079); php:8.4 had no fix yet on October 22 RHEL 8php:7.4 7.4.33-8 (RHSA-2026:87080); check Red Hat’s CVE pages for php:8.2. Retired streams (7.2, 7.3, 8.0) get no fix Sources: Ubuntu, Debian, Alpine, and Red Hat security trackers, as of October 22, 2026. Ubuntu, and Red Hat for its 7.4 and 8.0 packages, keep the old upstream version number and backport the fix. Compare the package versions rather than php -v. Restart every process that runs PHP after upgrading. Rebuild your container images. If your image uses a floating tag of the official php image, such as php:8, php:8.3, php:8.3-apache or php:latest, rebuild it with docker build --pull and redeploy it. Images that pin a patch version, such as php:8.3.35-apache, need the tag changed to the fixed version first. Images built on derivatives such as wordpress or drupal get the fix only after their maintainers publish an updated image, so check the upstream image before you rebuild. Locate PHP projects across your GitLab groups Any project that runs PHP to serve web requests needs a fixed version, including the ones that are easy to forget, such as an internal dashboard, a marketing site, or a CI job image. Finding them takes two views: a static search of what your repositories declare and your images contain, and a runtime inventory of what actually runs. GitLab covers the static view with two features. Use both, in this order. 1. Container scanning Container scanning reports vulnerabilities in operating system packages, so it finds PHP installed with apt, apk, or dnf, and it reports the two CVEs once they reach the scanner’s vulnerability database. To turn it on for a project, add the template to .gitlab-ci.yml: include: - template: Security/Container-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml You can also use a group-level scan execution policy to turn container scanning on for every project in a group at once. When a policy is enabled, the next time a pipeline is run, it will be run with container scanning. Container scanning results for the default branch can be reviewed in the Vulnerability Report after the scanner completes. Additionally, you can set up Merge Request Approval policies with container scanning. With merge request approvals in play, if a code change contains PHP2Shell, the policy will block a merge without approval from the selected parties. Container scanning detects only PHP installed as a package. PHP compiled from source, including the official php images, has no package record, so a project can pass container scanning and still run a vulnerable PHP. Code search covers that gap. 2. Code search Exact code search can find the two types of files that indicate a PHP project. Run these at the top-level group with regular expression mode enabled (the .* toggle at the right of the search box): Container base images: This query searches for every file GitLab detects as a Dockerfile. The pattern matches any image whose name or tag contains php, so it also finds derivatives such as wordpress, frankenphp, or bitnami/php-fpm. Expect a few false positives that you can rule out by reading the result: lang:Dockerfile ^FROM.*php Composer projects: This query finds projects that use PHP even when they have no Dockerfile, or when the Dockerfile takes its image from a build argument such as FROM $BASE_IMAGE: file:composer\.json$ Exact code search covers the default branch only. On GitLab.com it is on by default for paid plans. On GitLab Self-Managed instances an administrator must install Zoekt first. GitLab Dedicated doesn’t support exact code search. For each result, confirm the version. You can check the FROM php: line, or run php -v in the running container, and compare it with the table above. The group dependency list shows Composer packages and framework versions but not the PHP runtime version. 3. Compare with your runtime inventory Container scanning and code search show what your projects declare and build, not what runs. PHP can run outside your GitLab projects, for example on web servers with mod_php or PHP-FPM enabled only in their configuration, on hosts configured by hand, or in containers that still run in clusters without an active pipeline. Compare the static results with an inventory of your running workloads from your configuration management (Ansible, Puppet, Chef, etc.), cloud, or VM inventory tools. For Kubernetes, operational container scanning scans the images that run in your clusters, with the same package-only detection as container scanning. Treat every PHP runtime that appears in only one of the two views as a gap to investigate. Remediate at scale with GitLab Duo Agent Platform Start with asking GitLab Duo Agentic Chat to: collect every container scanning finding for CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 across the group from the vulnerability report (requires an Ultimate subscription) run the code search queries above across the group, review each hit and read the PHP version from the Dockerfile or the Composer files open a merge request per affected project that bumps the base image tag or the package to the fixed version, and assign it to the right maintainer track the whole effort in an epic with one issue per project, and is closed when the fixed version is deployed and confirmed From each issue, the Developer Flow can open a merge request that updates the base image tag or package to a fixed version. Turn on automatic reviews with the Code Review Flow to get a first review that follows your custom review instructions. Review and merge each merge request, then close the issue once the fixed version is deployed. Searches find candidates, but a security or platform engineer still has to review each match, resolve CI includes, and tell what the code declares apart from what actually runs. An example agent skill from the GitLab Developer Advocacy team handles this work. It runs on GitLab Duo Agent Platform and with agents that use GitLab MCP server or the glab CLI, such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. The skill checks container images, CI jobs, OS packages, configuration management variables, Composer pins, and environments. It returns a cited findings table with deployment evidence, and open gaps. The skill is read-only: It makes no changes, and remediation merge requests remain a separate, reviewed step. It cannot confirm what is running on hosts it cannot access, so verify those directly. Adapt the skill to your own environment before you use it. Check for compromise Reports of exploitation differ. Security researchers reported an exploit attempt on October 17, 2026, before public disclosure, and further reports of exploitation followed the release. The PHP project identified no functional exploits at the time of release. If an internet-facing server ran a vulnerable PHP version, review its logs from October 17, 2026, onward for: Multipart requests followed by memory-limit errors or repeated HTTP 500 responses Unusually large or malformed PHPSESSID response cookies Unexplained PHP worker restarts, or shell processes started by PHP workers Unexpected files on the PHP web server, outbound connections from PHP workers, or unexpected cron entries A successful exploit can return HTTP 200 and leave the worker running, so an absence of errors doesn’t rule out compromise. If you find signs of exploitation, isolate the server and start an incident investigation. Where possible, capture memory, disk, and logs before patching and restarting. Restarting PHP workers may erase evidence. CVE-2026-109619 can also expose process memory, even when an attacker doesn’t achieve code execution. Rotate any credentials, tokens, or keys the PHP process could read. Note: Scanners may flag the Gemnasium dependency scanning image (gemnasium:6), deprecated since GitLab 17.9, for its bundled PHP. It is used only as a command-line tool and never handles HTTP requests, so it is not exploitable, and a fixed version has already shipped under the same tag.

Cassava is deploying NVIDIA Nemotron (https://apo-opa.co/4dRrqnx) models as a locally hosted, managed inference service through the Cassava AI Multi-Model Exchange (CAIMEx) (https://apo-opa.co/4i0dw5a). By making open models available as APIs on Cassava’s AI Factory, CAIMEx gives enterprises greater flexibility to choose the right mix of models for their applications without having to build and operate their own model-serving infrastructure. “Expanding our AI Factory across our markets is about creating the capacity and economics needed for businesses to build and deploy AI solutions at scale. By bringing NVIDIA Nemotron into CAIMEx, improving the efficiency of every GPU cycle and introducing flexible token offerings, we are giving enterprises and service providers more choice in how they access and deliver these capabilities to their customers,” said Ahmed El Beheiry, Group Chief Technology & AI Officer, Cassava Technologies.     NVIDIA Nemotron brings efficient reasoning and tool-use capabilities to CAIMEx, helping customers build AI agents that can work through complex tasks and interact with business tools. Its open model weights, training data and recipes also give developers a customizable foundation that they can fine-tune to build specialised agents tailored to their applications. As businesses mature and the AI agents take on longer-running tasks and access business systems, security and guardrails become critical requirements. These need to be built into the infrastructure, and Cassava is using NVIDIA OpenShell to bring model compute, governed agent execution and independent security enforcement together for customers’ agentic workloads to its AI Factory. The CAIMEx Token Optimiser is designed to improve the economics of generative and agentic AI by identifying information that has already been processed and, where appropriate, reusing it rather than processing the same content again. This reduces computing requirements and helps customers use their AI tokens more efficiently. The approach applies to both Cassava-hosted and third-party AI models, helping enterprises reduce unnecessary processing as their AI usage scales. The expansion is the latest step in Cassava’s development of an integrated AI ecosystem, giving businesses access to locally hosted infrastructure, models, and services, fostering trust and confidence in data security and control while supporting their growth.  Distributed by APO Group on behalf of Cassava Technologies.

The findings, presented at the Security Analyst Summit 2026 in Bali, are part of a security audit of a warehouse digital ecosystem. Modern warehouses are far more than simple storage spaces, they constitute complex ecosystems built upon multiple technologies and devices. With global e-commerce sales nearly doubling (https://apo-opa.co/4yxQIhZ) since 2019 to over $6 trillion, any disruption or delay in the delivery chain can result in massive financial and reputational losses. To identify possible risks Kaspersky Security Services researchers have examined multiple cyber-attack vectors on warehouse infrastructure, including attacks conducted using various devices in warehouse systems, and have found a new attack vector exploiting a vulnerability in a barcode scanner model from a major manufacturer. Such devices are widely used in warehousing, retail, and multiple other sectors. A typical setup has handheld scanners communicating with a base station, which is in turn connected to a workstation or another business system. The main weak point is that there is no authentication between the base station and the scanners. Kaspersky research reveals that these scanners might serve as an entry point into the warehouse OT network. The attack could be conducted through the scanner’s wireless link. Kaspersky researchers found that an attacker within range could inject keystrokes into the connected device and potentially achieve remote code execution without requiring user interaction. In a hypothetical attack, a user may be carrying out their normal daily work using a wireless barcode scanner connected to a base station, while an attacker obtains the Bluetooth address of the base station, for example, through passive eavesdropping on Bluetooth traffic. Through the established Bluetooth connection, the attacker sends a malicious payload to the base station, simulating keyboard keystrokes. The base station forwards these keystrokes to the connected PC, where they are interpreted as legitimate user input and may be used to execute unauthorised commands. This attack pattern was observed across devices from multiple vendors. As a result, the attacker could gain an initial foothold on a computer within the warehouse network. The scanner serves only as the entry point. The significance of this foothold lies in the computer’s trusted position within the operational environment and its connectivity to critical systems. These attack vectors may pose a significant threat not only to the warehouse industry but also to the retail sector and any other domain where such devices are actively used. Kaspersky researchers believe that the same attack scenarios might be used for other warehouse devices like Portable Data Terminals (PDR) or thermal printers to gain access to infrastructure, such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). “Modern retail and logistics are profoundly digital, from enterprise-wide management platforms down to every device in a worker’s hands. This pervasive connectivity means that any technology at any tier can become an entry point for a cyberattack capable of destabilising the entire ecosystem – as our research shows, even a single barcode scanner. The warehouse sector, and the broader retail industry, should treat cybersecurity as a top priority across every layer of their operations,” said Sergey Sidorov, Head of Industrial Security Services at Kaspersky. To enhance security in warehouse environments, Kaspersky experts recommend verifying every new device before it connects to the network, disabling any unused Bluetooth interfaces and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, segmenting warehouse networks so that only essential connections are permitted, promptly applying security updates to both devices and the WMS, while restricting account permissions to the minimum required, and regularly conduct full‑scale attack‑path exercises that include scenarios involving insiders with legitimate credentials. Kaspersky offers a comprehensive assessment of industrial environments: uncovering weaknesses in ICS, OT, and networked devices, evaluating configurations and access paths, and mapping vulnerabilities to reveal actionable risks. By assessing systems on-site, Kaspersky ICS Security Assessment (https://apo-opa.co/3W06Wmq) uncovers hidden risks and delivers actionable insights without disrupting operations. These measures can be reinforced with purpose-built solutions such as Kaspersky Industrial Cyber Security (KICS) (https://apo-opa.co/3WB0TVC), designed to protect industrial organisations, including logistics companies. The platform helps enhance visibility across the corporate infrastructure and strengthen cybersecurity without disrupting operations or compromising system availability.

You are accountable for what those agents do, yet most of their activity stays invisible: which agents ran, who used them, and what they touched. Teams often struggle with understanding whether a developer used a tool or model that is approved or not. The AI Governance Dashboard, now in beta, gives you one place to see agent activity across your top-level group. It brings GitLab Duo Agent Platform agents and the external agents your developers connect into one view, showing which agents ran, who used them, and which projects they touched. The dashboard also shows the tools and sessions associated with each agent. With that audit trail in place, you can answer the questions auditors and risk owners ask: who ran this agent, what did it do, and who is accountable for it. Every agent action gets recorded in one audit trail, detailing the model it used, the tools it called, and the project it ran in. You can now investigate a session or hand an auditor evidence without stitching together multiple sources of data. Watch a demo of the AI Governance Dashboard: Gain visibility into AI agent activity More AI agents are running across your organization than you can track by hand. GitLab Duo Agent Platform agents run inside GitLab, while externally connected agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex run on developers' own machines. The result is the shadow AI problem: real work happening in your projects, from many tools, that no one accountable can see in one place or tie to a team member. The AI Governance Dashboard brings that activity into view and connects each agent to the developer behind it. To turn it on in your top-level group, go to AI > Governance. GitLab Duo Agent Platform agents and externally connected agents appear together, and you can toggle between the views to see all agents, just Duo Agent Platform Agents or just externally connected agents. Three tiles at the top give you a baseline: how many agents ran, how many sessions they started, and how many tool calls they made over the past seven or 30 days. Each tile shows the daily trend and the change from the previous period, so a spike, like a new tool your team started using last week, stands out. The cards below tell you where to act. You can check whether the agents your developers rely on match the ones you approved, see which projects carry the most agent activity and need closer review, and know who to talk to when usage shifts. Prove what every agent did Managing AI risk starts with knowing what every agent did and who prompted it. Traditional audit trails were built for human changes, so that record is often scattered across tools or missing. GitLab records every agent action as an audit event, so you can investigate an incident or answer an auditor from one place. Open any GitLab Duo Agent Platform session to see the prompt the developer sent, the tools the agent called, the MCP servers it used, the model that ran, and the project it changed. From there, you can download an immutable copy of the session as evidence, or stream the events to your security information and event management (SIEM) system. Set up your dashboard today It only takes a few steps to set up the AI Governance Dashboard: Check access. The dashboard needs the Owner role on the top-level group, or a custom role with the read_agent_artifacts ability.

A missing authorization check is an absence of code, so a scanner that matches patterns has nothing to match. You can find the gap only if you already know what the endpoint is meant to enforce. We're building Business Logic Security Analyzer in GitLab Duo Agent Platform to catch business logic vulnerabilities that pattern-based scanners miss. It is now in early access for GitLab Ultimate customers on GitLab.com. Valid code, wrong intent Any application security team will recognize these three findings: An endpoint takes an order ID from the request and returns the order without checking who owns it. A role field on a user profile accepts whatever JSON the client sends. A user ID is a sequential integer. Each one is valid code that slips past most taint and pattern rules in a conventional SAST engine, because no untrusted data reaches a dangerous sink, and no known-bad signature appears. Chained together, they hand an attacker every customer's order and an administrator role. Across GitLab's customer base, codebase size has grown as much as 500% as agents write code. CVE disclosures through April ran 46% above the February forecast from the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams. The same AI models that generate code also make existing weaknesses less expensive to discover and chain. Authorization logic is where that pressure lands: Developers and agents write a check in a line or two, but when one is missing, the gap often goes unnoticed. As Omer Azaria, vice president of Product Management at GitLab, put it at GitLab Transcend, "We're caught in the middle: more code, faster attacks, same teams." Why whole-repository scanning starts here GitLab Duo Security Review looks for authorization flaws in merge requests, but many business logic flaws aren't visible in a diff. Whether an endpoint should check ownership depends on the data model, the roles the application defines, and how other endpoints treat the same records. Judging one handler means reading the application around it. That is why Business Logic Security Analyzer scans the whole repository, and why GitLab is the platform to do it on. The source code, the pipelines that build it, the security findings attached to it, and the policies that gate it all live in one system. An agent that scans here sees the full application and writes its findings where the security team already works. At Transcend, we introduced the GitLab Security Standard: five stages each agent must clear to earn more autonomy, built on the premise that code is now abundant and trust is scarce. Its Verify stage requires every change, whether written by a person or agent, to pass controls the author cannot touch. Business Logic Security Analyzer runs outside the author's hands, and its findings persist in the same report and dashboards that govern the rest of the codebase. How the analyzer works Business Logic Security Analyzer is a foundational flow on GitLab Duo Agent Platform that targets business logic flaws, starting with broken object-level authorization, missing or improper authorization, and mass assignment. A practitioner can run a whole-repository scan, and scan each merge request automatically after its pipeline passes. Detecting any of these flaws requires a model of what the application is meant to do. Pattern scanners have none, but an agent that reads the repository can build one. The analyzer starts by enumerating the application’s entry points and mapping who should be allowed to do what: which records belong to which user, and which actions are administrative. It then reads each handler in scope and checks whether the handler enforces that rule before touching the record. Findings land in the Vulnerability Report and the merge request security widget as first-class SAST results, to support triage, remediation, and auditing. In the demo application below, refund_order accepts an order_id from the request and sets refunded=1 without checking that the caller owns the order or is an administrator. Taint rules stay silent because the query is parameterized. The analyzer reports it as CWE-639, Critical, at app/orders.py:17, and its explanation names the missing ownership check. The models behind the analyzer Business Logic Security Analyzer is the first GitLab capability supporting Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5.1, and is available in early access to customers in approved environments. The model sees only GitLab's prompts and the customer's repository, which holds the context the analyzer needs: the data model, roles, and rules each endpoint enforces. As Rajat Pandit, Head of Applied AI, Anthropic India, said at Transcend, "When defenders have more context than attackers, advanced models change the math in their favor." Alongside Mythos, the analyzer supports Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Sonnet 5, and Sonnet 4.6, with more models planned for future releases. All of them run as GitLab-managed models through GitLab’s AI gateway, under the same data handling terms as the rest of GitLab Duo Agent Platform. Request early access Business Logic Security Analyzer is in early access for a small group of GitLab Ultimate customers on GitLab.com. Participants run the analyzer on their codebases to find true positives their security teams didn’t already know about. We will work with each team to learn where the analyzer is correct, wrong, or silent. Each scan consumes GitLab Credits, and cost scales with the size of the application's attack surface. To be considered, contact your account team, or, if you are not yet a GitLab customer, contact our sales team. Once your group is enabled, start a whole-repository scan from GitLab Duo Chat or through the API, and attach the Business Logic scan profile to a project to scan its merge requests. The Business Logic Security Analyzer documentation covers prerequisites and setup. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Alaska Airlines names Amaresh Siva Chief Information Technology Officer 2026-10-19 · PressReach · AI, SaaS, Healthcare, Travel, Cybersecurity https://pressreach.com/travel-hospitality/alaska-airlines-names-amaresh-siva-chief-information-technology-officer/ Veteran technology executive will lead Alaska’s enterprise technology, data, digital, cybersecurity and AI strategy, focused on operational reliability, modernization and long-term growth Siva brings nearly three decades of technology leadership experience across CVS Health, Target Corporation and GE Capital, including large-scale cloud, digital, data and AI transformation SEATTLE, Oct. 19, 2026 — Alaska Airlines, … Continue reading "Alaska Airlines names Amaresh Siva Chief Information Technology Officer" ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Quantum-Safe Transformation Leader Gregg Barrow Joins Qtonic Quantum 2026-10-19 · PR.com · Cybersecurity https://www.pr.com/press-release/981415 Senior Advisor, Go-to-Market appointment brings global cybersecurity experience to enterprise buying decisions [PR.com] ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Scott F.

South Africa also ranks second among the 11 Sub-Saharan African countries covered and 73rd globally on the report’s new AI-Human Skills Synergy Index. The Index, the first of its kind, measures the extent to which learners across 98 countries are developing AI skills alongside the human skills needed to apply them, while accounting for each country’s broader AI readiness. The findings come as South Africa seeks to strengthen the connection between skills development and employment. A World Bank analysis (https://apo-opa.co/4zFx7xu) identifies persistent recruitment challenges in software development, networking, and cybersecurity, despite high unemployment. It also finds that nearly half of job postings seek transferable skills such as communication and problem-solving. These findings reinforce the importance of developing technical and human skills together to meet employers’ needs. Now in its eighth edition, the Global Skills Report 2026 draws on a subset of learning data from more than 300 million learners across Coursera and Udemy. The report combines insights into AI and human skills development with broader national readiness data from Oxford Insights’ Government AI Readiness Index. Trending AI learning themes in South Africa include generative AI, data and analytics, and agentic AI and AI agents. Other prominent themes include model- and assistant-specific skills, and AI development frameworks and infrastructure. Enrollments in AI security increased 236%, agentic workflows grew 195%, and generative AI rose 161%. Learners in South Africa are also developing the human skills needed to evaluate AI outputs and communicate their implications. Communication and presentation, stakeholder alignment and influence, and planning and prioritization are among the trending human skills themes, together with emotional intelligence and empathy, and critical thinking and judgment. Alongside the 132% increase in critical thinking enrollments, complex problem-solving grew 28% year over year and innovation rose 19%. The report examines which AI and human skills learners develop together more distinctively than the global average. In South Africa, learners pair AI and machine learning foundations with both communication and presentation, and critical thinking and judgment. They also pair data and analytics with communication and presentation. These combinations can help people explain AI concepts and results clearly, assess model assumptions and limitations, and communicate analysis to technical and nontechnical audiences. As employers seek evidence of job-relevant capabilities, micro-credentials offer individuals a way to demonstrate specific skills verified through assessment. They give employers evidence of what candidates know and can do, complementing other qualifications and practical experience. Coursera’s report shows that micro-credential enrollments in South Africa rose 31% year over year overall, with AI-related micro-credential enrollments increasing 74%. Kais Zribi, Coursera’s General Manager for the Middle East and Africa, said: “South Africa’s growing participation in AI and human skills learning provides a strong foundation for workforce development. The opportunity is to connect that commitment to learning with the capabilities employers need and clearer routes into work. Employers and educational institutions can help by aligning learning with specific roles, creating opportunities for practical experience, and recognizing skills demonstrated through assessment. Strengthening those connections can help more South Africans turn their learning into career opportunities and contribute to productivity as businesses adopt AI.” Access Coursera’s Global Skills Report 2026 here: https://apo-opa.co/3Uvuyir.

The Index, the first of its kind, measures the extent to which learners across 98 countries are developing AI skills alongside the human skills needed to apply them, while accounting for each country’s broader AI readiness. The findings come as Ghana advances efforts to connect AI development with workforce readiness. Its National AI Strategy, launched in April 2026, emphasizes ethical AI, data governance, infrastructure, and workforce preparation. The government has also announced a US$250 million investment to establish an AI Computing Centre. Alongside these efforts, the One Million Coders Programme aims to equip one million Ghanaians with digital skills, including AI, cybersecurity, and data analytics. Now in its eighth edition, the Global Skills Report 2026 draws on a subset of learning data from more than 300 million learners across Coursera and Udemy. The report combines insights into AI and human skills development with broader national readiness data from Oxford Insights’ Government AI Readiness Index. Across Ghana, enrollments in AI courses increased 34% year over year. Trending AI learning themes include prompting and AI interaction, data and analytics, and generative AI, together with model- and assistant-specific skills, and agentic AI and AI agents. Enrollments in agentic workflows rose 137%, while generative AI increased 115%. AI security enrollments grew 235%. Learners in Ghana are also developing the human skills needed to evaluate AI outputs and communicate their implications. Communication and presentation, critical thinking and judgment, and data storytelling are among the trending human skills themes, together with ethics and governance, and people leadership and management. In addition to the 66% increase in critical thinking enrollments, complex problem-solving grew 39% year over year and innovation rose 27%. The report examines which AI and human skills learners develop together more distinctively than the global average. In Ghana, learners pair critical thinking and judgment with both AI and machine learning foundations, and data and analytics.

These combinations can help people assess model assumptions and limitations, judge whether data supports a conclusion, and translate stakeholder needs into effective prompts while building agreement on how the outputs should be used. As learners develop these capabilities, micro-credentials offer a way to demonstrate specific skills verified through assessment, giving employers evidence of what individuals know and can do. These credentials can complement other qualifications and practical experience as people prepare for new roles or responsibilities. Coursera’s report also shows that micro-credential enrollments in Ghana increased 21% year over year overall. Kais Zribi, Coursera’s General Manager for the Middle East and Africa, said: “Ghana’s growth in AI and human skills enrollments provides a foundation to strengthen workforce readiness. The next priority is to help more people turn that interest into capabilities they can demonstrate. Employers and educational institutions can work together to align learning with industry needs and create opportunities for learners to apply their skills through projects and workplace experience. This can support the goals of the One Million Coders Programme by strengthening employability, enabling entrepreneurship, and helping more Ghanaians participate in the digital economy.” Access Coursera’s Global Skills Report 2026 here: https://apo-opa.co/4dE6pN5.

Host Adam Curry, broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country with guest co-host Matt Long of the Matt Long Show on Hill Country Patriot FM, confirms that his final episode will air October 29, concluding a 19-year run of twice-weekly media deconstruction. The news follows the death of longtime co-host John C. Dvorak and marks a definitive turning point for the listener-supported podcast Curry and Dvorak launched in 2007. Across more than three hours, Curry and Long weave the farewell narrative through the week's news cycle. Topic threads include: James Talarico's Texas Senate town hall, his flu absence, and his comments on abortion and scripture The Wall Street Journal report on Ken Paxton's New Year's Eve 2024 Dubai trip Starshield connectivity throttling in Ukraine and Elon Musk's response on X Greta Thunberg's reappearance at French student protests amid Macron's budget fight An AI-linked cyberattack that spoiled food at roughly 150 Intermarché, Carrefour, and Monoprix stores Curry frames his exit as a spiritual rather than professional decision, rooted in his conversion three and a half years ago. Speaking directly to the audience, he explains the toll of the show's cynical format on his evolving worldview. When John died, honestly, so did the show as we know it. Listening to a show like No Agenda requires two people who have a relationship. Our relationship was entirely unique. He adds that he had been preparing to raise a transition with Dvorak before the double bypass surgery that ultimately preceded his co-host's death. Curry details the ventures that will absorb his focus after October 29, including Godcaster, a platform that turns churches into hyper-local radio stations and now supports more than 300 Christian stations, along with the We Get to Do This podcast co-hosted with Pastor Jimmy and a forthcoming book. He credits producer Chuck Lorre's observations about sitcom family dynamics as a lens for understanding what made the Curry-Dvorak partnership irreplaceable. Long, who hosts the Fredericksburg No Agenda meetups at J6er Jenny's Bar 1776 with his wife Gail, provides on-air support, discussing his Benjamin Franklin reenactments, the Muse AI assistant, and a tip-of-the-day on acetone as a universal cleaner. About No Agenda Show No Agenda is a long-running, listener-supported podcast hosted by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak that takes a skeptical, independent look at mainstream media, politics, culture, and the forces shaping the daily news cycle. Known for its sharp commentary, humor, and value-for-value model, the show questions how stories are framed, amplified, or ignored. Episode 1912 is available now wherever podcasts are heard, with Curry's final broadcast scheduled for October 29. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Atos expands partnership with Fortinet to deliver a global unified cybersecurity framework across hybrid and multi-cloud environments 2026-10-16 · WebWire · AI, SaaS, Cybersecurity https://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=362946 Atos, a global leader of AI-powered digital transformation, announces that it is expanding its longstanding partnership with Fortinet, a global cybersecurity leader, from a country-led to a global engagement model.

The measures were discussed during the EAC Regional E-Commerce Engagement Platform meeting held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, from 13th to 15th October, 2026. The Platform provides a structured mechanism for Partner States to collaborate on areas critical to the effective implementation of the EAC E-Commerce Strategy, including policy and regulation, digital infrastructure, logistics, cybersecurity, online marketplaces and payment systems. A major focus of the meeting was strengthening the Monitoring and Evaluation Tool for the EAC E-Commerce Strategy. Partner States reviewed and updated baseline data, drawing on recommendations emerging from National E-Commerce Engagement Platforms held between September and October 2026. The process is expected to strengthen the availability and quality of data for tracking implementation of the Strategy and informing policy decisions. The Chairperson of the meeting, Mr. Chris Matsiko, Commercial Officer at the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, Uganda, noted that e-commerce presents significant opportunities to expand market access, facilitate cross-border trade, promote entrepreneurship and enable micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to participate more effectively in regional and global value chains. “These opportunities can only be realised through deliberate and coordinated efforts to address prevailing challenges, including gaps in digital infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, logistics, payment systems, digital skills, consumer protection and the availability of reliable data to inform policy decisions,” said Mr. Matsiko. The meeting also considered lessons emerging from the Knowledge Exchange Forum on Building Trust in E-Commerce, held in Switzerland and Serbia in July 2026, and identified priority areas for regional action to strengthen trust and confidence in cross-border e-commerce. These actions include harmonising consumer protection frameworks, strengthening online dispute resolution mechanisms, promoting initiatives that enhance trust in digital transactions, and deepening public-private dialogue to support a more secure, transparent and enabling regional e-commerce environment. Speaking during the meeting, Mr. Gordon Kalema, Eastern Africa Regional Digital Integration Project (EARDIP) Project Manager, noted that digital trade presents an important opportunity to deepen regional integration and expand market opportunities for East African businesses. “Intra-EAC trade has grown from USD 1.6 billion in 2005 to USD 19.65 billion in 2025, underscoring the significant potential of e-commerce to build on this progress by expanding market access, creating new opportunities for businesses and further deepening regional economic integration,” said Mr. Kalema. Partner States also reviewed progress in implementing the EAC E-Commerce Strategy and considered measures to further strengthen coordination and accelerate implementation. Through continued cooperation under the Regional E-Commerce Engagement Platform, the EAC seeks to foster a more coordinated, trusted and evidence-driven environment in which businesses and consumers can take advantage of the opportunities presented by e-commerce and digital trade. Through the Eastern Africa Regional Digital Integration Project (EARDIP), the EAC is advancing the development of a regional single digital market by strengthening connectivity, harmonising data governance, enhancing cybersecurity, improving digital payment interoperability and supporting cross-border e-commerce. Together, these interventions are helping to create a more connected, secure and integrated digital environment in which businesses and consumers can access services, transact and participate in the regional digital economy across borders.

Aligned with this year's Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme, "Don't Make It Easy for Them," the course delivers actionable digital safety education directly to young people across the continent. The launch comes at a critical time. According to INTERPOL’s African Cyberthreat Assessment Report 2026, Africa now has approximately 570 million internet users who depend on digital platforms for banking, healthcare, education, and government services. Yet the security systems, laws, and institutions meant to protect them have not kept up with the speed of adoption, leaving users exposed to cybercriminals. According to the same research findings, reported cybercrime losses across Africa more than doubled between 2024 and 2025, rising from US$192 million to US$484 million, while identified victims grew from 35,000 to 87,000. INTERPOL estimates that cybercrime caused at least US$5 billion in direct economic damage across the continent in 2025, and that 55% of reported cases involved AI in some form. Mobile money fraud is now the most prevalent online scam, with 97% of responding countries identifying it as a major threat. Digital inclusion across Africa has expanded access to education and financial tools, but cyber education has struggled to keep pace. Young people often expose themselves to identity theft, phishing scams, and account takeovers without realizing it, because they lack practical security habits. "Every young person deserves the confidence to learn, work, connect, and build their future safely online," said Simi Nwogugu, President and CEO of JA Africa. "Through CyberSmart, JA Africa is empowering Africa's next generation with the digital safety skills needed to thrive in an increasingly connected world. By building simple cyber-safe habits today, young people can protect their opportunities tomorrow." Unlike generic, highly technical cybersecurity courses, CyberSmart was built for the day-to-day realities of young Africans: Relatable contexts: Local scenarios and African characters navigating real situations, from protecting mobile money PINs to spotting AI-driven phishing. Bilingual and free: Available free of charge in English and French. Short, interactive learning: Three quick modules with videos, quizzes, and practical exercises. A gateway to high-growth careers: An introduction to cybersecurity paths, including ethical hacking, digital forensics, cyber law, and cybersecurity analysis. "We designed CyberSmart around the moments young people actually face online: the urgent message from a fake agent, the link that looks almost right, the request for a one-time password," said Bimpe Olufemi, Vice President, Digital, JA Africa. "When learners recognize these situations in characters and scenarios that look like their own lives, the lessons stick. Our goal is to turn awareness into everyday habits that young people carry into school, work, and business." As a leader in youth entrepreneurship, financial-health, and work-readiness education across Africa, JA Africa is extending its reach into digital safety, now a foundational life skill for success in education, entrepreneurship, and employment. CyberSmart is hosted on JA Africa's Skills Lab platform, which has reached more than 100,000 young people across the continent since 2020, and can be accessed on any internet-enabled device. JA Africa calls on parents, secondary school teachers, university lecturers, and community leaders to help young people build good digital habits early, at home, in schools, and in communities. Looking ahead, JA Africa will work with its member organizations to bring CyberSmart into schools and youth learning spaces across the continent. The organization welcomes collaboration with ministries of education, technology companies, financial institutions, and telecom providers to expand access and help more young people stay safe online. How to access the free course Students, parents, and educators can enroll in CyberSmart for free today at https://apo-opa.co/4inZuKv.

Stored there as a raw value rather than a reference to a scoped secret, a signing key reaches every job in the pipeline — compromised or not. Standing up a standalone vault narrows that exposure but requires mirroring every change to project membership, protected branches, and production environments. When the vault falls out of sync, a pipeline breaks or an agent’s service account keeps access it no longer needs. GitLab Secrets Manager tightens credential security without a second permission model. It is now generally available in GitLab 19.5 for Premium and Ultimate on GitLab.com and GitLab Self-Managed, with GitLab Dedicated coming soon. Built on OpenBao, it stores build-time and runtime credentials under the same permissions and audit trail as your code. Platform teams can offer developers self-service secrets, and security teams get credentials scoped to the jobs that use them, plus the pipeline and job ID on every CI/CD read. "GitLab Secrets Manager lets us centralize secrets across CI/CD, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code without standing up multiple vaults or maintaining separate integration points. It also strengthens our supply chain security by tightening which users and pipelines can access a given credential." - Jeremy Nauta, Software Architect, OneTrust How Secrets Manager scopes build-time secrets to each job Agents can take actions no one anticipated, so security teams need to regard every job as if its agents will use any credential it can reach. Secrets Manager narrows what agents can reach with the context GitLab already holds about each job: its project, the branch it runs on, whether that branch is protected, and the environment it targets. A developer declares the secret a job needs with the secrets: keyword in .gitlab-ci.yml, and GitLab injects the value only into jobs that declare it and fall within its scope. Scope conditions accept wildcards on branch and environment, and they combine, so one rule can require a protected branch and a production/* environment before a job receives the credential. Inside the job, GitLab writes the value to a temporary file and exposes only its path, which limits exposure in subprocesses, crash dumps, and telemetry. GitLab masks the value in job logs and discards it when the job ends. Unlike a CI/CD variable, a secret is never readable in your project configuration. OpenBao encrypts secrets at rest with AES-256-GCM, so a copy of the secrets database holds only ciphertext. Jobs fetch values straight from OpenBao with short-lived tokens bound to each job’s identity, which keeps plaintext secrets out of the GitLab application. See how to get started with Secrets Manager: Revoke and trace an exposed credential When the axios npm package was compromised, a SANS advisory warned teams to "assume all environment variables on affected systems were exfiltrated" and extend investigations to CI/CD runners and build infrastructure. Responders had to work out which credentials each affected job could read, how to cut off access, and which runs read them. With Secrets Manager, when a job runs a poisoned dependency, the exposure stops at the secrets that job declared and was authorized to read. To clean up, revoke and replace the leaked credential, update the value in Secrets Manager, and audit that one job while other pipelines keep running. Secrets Manager prompts you to set a rotation reminder when you create a secret. Dynamic credentials are coming soon and will provide ephemeral access without manual rotation. GitLab streams every secret create, read, update, and delete event to your audit event destinations and records changes in the audit trail. Each pipeline read carries the pipeline and job IDs, which tie to the commit, the triggering user, and the merge request, when there is one. Incident responders and auditors can trace a read to the change behind it without correlating logs from a CI system, a vault, and an identity provider. Audit events never contain secret values. Govern secrets with the permissions that govern your code As agents take on more work, platform teams field more requests for pipelines and service accounts that need credentials. When those requests queue, teams fall back on broad grants and shared secrets. Secrets Manager uses the GitLab namespace as its isolation boundary. Projects inherit secrets defined in the groups above them, so you define a shared credential once. Owners grant read, write, and delete permissions to specific users or default roles, using the same membership model that governs the code. Remove a person or an agent's service account from a project, and that identity's access to the project's secrets ends. Developers reference secrets through the project access they already hold. When a secret reference breaks, they fix it in the same merge request as the code, with no second repository, approver, or access ticket. With a governed credential one line away, fewer secrets end up in over-scoped CI/CD variables, local files, or the repository. One store for pipelines and runtime workloads Kubernetes, Terraform, and scripts often get separate secret stores, each with its own access model and logs. Secrets Manager serves runtime tools from the same store as pipelines, under the same permissions and audit trail: Kubernetes, through External Secrets Operator. ESO re-fetches the secret on a set interval and updates the Kubernetes Secret in place, so a rotated value reaches the cluster without a pipeline run. Terraform and OpenTofu. They read a secret as a data source at plan or apply time and keep credentials out of .tfvars files and CI/CD variables. OpenBao and Vault CLIs, through the Vault-compatible API. Teams keep their existing scripts and point them at Secrets Manager. Other runtime tools, through the Secrets Manager API. Each runtime tool authenticates with a service account or an access token, and that identity needs project membership and explicit read permission for the secret. GitLab then issues a separate token, valid for five minutes, that the tool uses to fetch it. How Secrets Manager fits with GitLab's supply chain controls GitLab’s governed software factory connects code, pipelines, packages, and secrets on one platform, with one identity model and one record of how a change reached production. Dependency Firewall decides which packages enter a pipeline, Secrets Manager limits which credentials the pipeline can reach, and Artifact Central governs what you ship. Secrets Manager supports two of the five stages in the GitLab Security Standard, GitLab's framework for letting agents earn autonomy: For Authorize, it binds each job to the secrets its identity and scope allow, and for Respond, it streams every CRUD event. Secret push protection blocks commits containing credentials before they reach the repository, and Secret detection finds the ones already in your code and history. GitLab Duo Agent Platform triages what those scans find and flags likely false positives, so your team revokes, rotates, and audits only real leaks. GitLab's existing integrations for HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and Google Cloud Secret Manager keep working alongside Secrets Manager, so you can migrate at your own pace. Get started GitLab Secrets Manager is a paid add-on for Premium and Ultimate, billed through GitLab Credits: 1 credit per secret stored per month, and 1 credit per 2,500 read operations. An enterprise license agreement is available for air-gapped environments. On GitLab.com, top-level group Owners can try GitLab Secrets Manager free for 30 days or 500 evaluation credits, whichever ends first. Go to your top-level group, select Secure > Secrets Manager, then Start 30-day trial. On GitLab Self-Managed, your administrator must install and enable Secrets Manager, following the documented sizing and high-availability guidance. GitLab Dedicated support is coming soon. To find the first credentials to move, run the secret audit tool for CI/CD variables, which flags variables likely to hold credentials. A migration workflow for CI/CD variables is in development.

KeySIM provides IoT SIM cards and managed connectivity services that enable machines, equipment and remote assets to connect securely to the internet. For many organisations, the ability to remotely access equipment securely using fixed IP connectivity is business critical, helping to maintain operational continuity, reduce engineering visits and support increasingly stringent cyber security requirements. The new funding will support the development of KeySIM’s next-generation resilient network infrastructure, further enhancing service continuity for customers operating mission-critical connected devices. KeySIM serves organisations across a broad range of sectors including healthcare, retail, facilities management and security. Customers featured on the company’s website include the NHS, FatFace and Punch Pubs. Reflecting the rapid growth of the business, KeySIM transmitted more than 10 million megabytes of data across its IoT connectivity platform during June 2026 alone. Following revenues of £370,000 during the year ending July 2025, KeySIM will exceed £500,000 during 2026 and is forecasting annual recurring revenue to surpass £1 million during 2027. The company says its growth has been driven in part by organisations migrating from incumbent connectivity providers in search of enhanced resilience, multi-network capability and responsive technical support. The latest funding milestone further strengthens a long-standing relationship between KeySIM and NatWest. Founder and Managing Director Graham Robinson participated in the NatWest Accelerator programme during 2021 and 2022, an experience which the company credits as being pivotal in shaping its growth trajectory. Rob Woods, Relationship Manager at NatWest, commented: “We are delighted to continue supporting KeySIM and have had the privilege of monitoring the company’s impressive growth over a number of years. The business has demonstrated strong innovation, ambition and customer focus, and we look forward to supporting Graham and the team as they continue their exciting growth journey.” Graham Robinson, Managing Director of KeySIM, said: “Thank you to NatWest for their ongoing support. It isn’t a stretch to say that NatWest has been absolutely pivotal to KeySIM’s success, and we are incredibly grateful to be working alongside them. These funds will enable us to further enhance our network resilience and continue improving the service we provide to customers.” With demand for resilient and secure IoT connectivity continuing to grow, KeySIM expects to continue investing in its platform, expanding its customer base and strengthening its position within the UK IoT connectivity market. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— NSS Labs Appoints Global Sales Leader Reena Choudhry as Go-to-Market Specialist 2026-10-13 · PR Newswire · SaaS, Cybersecurity https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nss-labs-appoints-global-sales-leader-reena-choudhry-as-go-to-market-specialist-302907470.html Focus will be accelerating sales on Minion by NSS Labs, the company's security testing platform.

That is operational work rebuilt in spreadsheets and one-off scripts every time someone asks. This manual work is easy to get wrong, and is often out of date the moment it is published. Every hour spent assembling that view is an hour your security team is not spending on strategic work to drive down risk. With GitLab 19.4, the security dashboard now gives you a consolidated view of risk at the organization level. Across every top-level group and every scanner your teams run, you can see how your whole application security program is doing, find where the real risk is concentrated, and act on it, without stitching anything together by hand. Your team spends its time remediating vulnerabilities instead of assembling reports, and when leadership or an auditor asks where the organization stands, you have a current, defensible answer on one screen. The organizational level security dashboard is available in beta for GitLab.com users. Watch the demo: See total risk, then triage down to the project The risk score quantifies the risk level across the entire organization. This score is calculated based on the severity and age of your open vulnerabilities, whether each one appears on the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list, and its Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) score. The risk score helps security leaders prioritize what area of the organization is most susceptible to threats, rather than a raw count that treats every finding as equal. The charts around the risk score also proactively answer follow-up questions. The Vulnerabilities over time view shows whether risk is trending up or down across the organization over 30, 60, or 90 days. Vulnerabilities by age shows what is going stale and slipping past your remediation targets. Open vulnerabilities by severity and the top 10 Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) show the shape of the risk, so a weakness that recurs across the whole organization gets interpreted as a training or policy gap rather than a series of bugs. Filter the entire dashboard by project or by report type to focus on static application security testing (SAST) or dependency scanning vulnerability types. Consolidate every scanner into one view The organization dashboard isn’t limited to GitLab's own scanners. Any third-party scanner that outputs Static Analysis Results Interchange Format (SARIF) reports can feed its findings into GitLab. These become vulnerability records like any native finding and roll up into the same risk score, charts, and per-project view. For a security team running multiple tools across the organization, you get one consolidated read on risk, including GitLab's scanners and those you already run, rather than a separate dashboard per tool and manual efforts to combine them. Turn on the organization security dashboard The organization security dashboard is available in beta on GitLab.com for Ultimate. It reads the data your projects already produce, so switching it on depends on having the right pieces in place. Before the dashboard can display your org-level risk, confirm four things: You have created an Organization with multiple top-level groups using the Organizations (Beta) feature. To do this, Owners can Create Organizations under Settings > General > Advanced. You have Owner role access to the Organization-level in GitLab. Advanced search and advanced vulnerability management are active. These power the rollup across top-level groups, and on GitLab.com they are on by default. Your projects run at least one security scanner and have a completed scan on their default branch, so there are vulnerabilities to aggregate. With that in place, go to the top bar, select Search or Go to, and choose your Organization. In the left sidebar, select Secure, then Security dashboard.

Coupled with the rapid expansion of the digital economy and increasing business activities in the Greater Bay Area and overseas markets, demand for professional mediators equipped with cross-border dispute resolution capabilities and legal technology knowledge continues to grow. In response, eBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution Centre ("eBRAM"), an independent not-for-profit organisation established with the support of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, will launch its 5th Accredited Professional Mediation Training Course in October. By integrating legal technology, theoretical learning and practical training, the programme aims to nurture a new generation of mediation professionals with international perspectives and cross-border dispute resolution expertise. Rising Demand for Mediation Creates New Opportunities for Hong Kong Under China's 15th Five-Year Plan, Hong Kong has been positioned as an international legal and dispute resolution services centre in the Asia-Pacific region. As cross-border commercial activities become increasingly frequent and enterprises continue to expand globally, mediation is gaining prominence as an effective dispute resolution mechanism due to its flexibility, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. As the only online dispute resolution platform in Hong Kong recognised by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), eBRAM remains committed to integrating legal technology with mediation services and supporting the development of Hong Kong's mediation talent pool through professional training initiatives. Course Design Integrates Theory, Practice and Legal Technology The 5th Accredited Professional Mediation Training Course (Course Code: eMed02-05-1026) will be led by Mr. TK IU, Chairman of the Hong Kong Mediation Accreditation Association Limited (HKMAAL), as Lead Trainer. The curriculum covers mediation theories and procedures, communication skills, conflict management, simulated case exercises, mediation codes of conduct and relevant legal frameworks. The programme also incorporates sharing sessions on Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain applications, providing participants with insights into the latest developments in dispute resolution services. Participants who achieve 100% attendance will satisfy the stage 1 training requirement for HKMAAL-accredited mediators and become eligible to undertake the stage 2 accreditation assessment. Key course highlights include: - Fundamentals of mediation and industry development trends - Mediation procedures and practical techniques - Communication, questioning, listening and conflict management skills - Hands-on simulated mediation case exercises - Applications of ODR platforms, artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies - Introduction to the HKMAAL accredited mediator qualification pathway Building Hong Kong's Mediation Talent Pool to Support Cross-border Dispute Resolution Chairman of eBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution Centre, Dr Thomas SO Shiu-tsung, JP said: "Hong Kong is accelerating its development as an international legal and dispute resolution services centre and advancing towards becoming a global mediation hub. Demand for professional mediation talent continues to rise. Mediation should increasingly become the preferred mechanism for resolving cross-border commercial, professional and community disputes. The course organised by eBRAM incorporates artificial intelligence and legal technology applications, aligning with the Policy Address's direction of promoting the development of "AI+" and strengthening AI application capabilities. By combining practical training with legal technology, the programme aims to cultivate mediation professionals with strong expertise and international perspectives, meeting the growing demand for dispute resolution services arising from enterprise expansion, Greater Bay Area development and community governance." Cross-sector Support Promotes Mediation Talent Development This training programme has received support from organisations including the Estate Agents Authority, the Agency for Volunteer Service, the Healthcare Dispute Resolution Centre and other community and professional bodies, reflecting the growing adoption of mediation across professional services, business and community governance. Through their collective efforts to cultivate mediation professionals with practical skills and expertise, these organisations are contributing to the continued development of a mediation-first culture in Hong Kong. Legal Technology is Shaping the Future of Mediation Acting Chief Executive Officer of eBRAM, Mr Albert Leung said: "As cross-border commercial activities and the digital economy continue to expand, the importance of online dispute resolution and legal technology is becoming increasingly evident. In addition to mastering communication and procedural skills, professional mediators must also understand how emerging technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence can enhance dispute resolution efficiency. Through this programme, we hope to equip participants with both mediation expertise and legal technology knowledge, helping to cultivate a new generation of competitive professionals and further supporting Hong Kong's development as an international legal and dispute resolution services centre."

When one of those components is missing or has drifted, the build fails. At agent speed, those failures multiply, and no team can clear them as manual exceptions. Project-by-project registry sprawl makes it worse because retention rules, storage limits, and publish access all live separately inside each project. Project-level design works when a person sets up each registry by hand, but breaks down when agents are running continuously across hundreds of projects. At GitLab Transcend today, we announced GitLab Artifact Central: one organization-level registry that replaces hundreds of project-level ones, so every pull or publish by a human or an agent runs through the same governed door, enabling platform teams to assemble the right software the first time. Here is more on why we developed Artifact Central, and how it can help your team. Set policy once, enforce everywhere In GitLab, retention rules, storage limits, and who can publish all live inside each project’s free package and container registry, configured on its own. GitLab Artifact Central moves that job up one level. Teams assign retention rules, quota settings, and access policies once at the organization level, instead of recreating them in every project underneath it. Every repository is closed by default: Being a member of the organization is the gate, not the grant. Organization membership alone doesn't unlock a single repository until a role grants it. We’ve built four roles specifically for artifacts: Admin, Manager, Contributor, and Viewer. These roles are kept separate from GitLab's existing project roles, so granting someone access to a repository never touches their privileges anywhere else. One URL for publishing, proxying, or both Instead of navigating an internal wiki page explaining what is where, developers point to one URL for everything. GitLab Artifact Central does this through three repository types: Hosted — The private packages and images your teams build and publish. Remote — A proxy in front of an external source, like Docker Hub or Maven Central, with the connection tested before anything depends on it. Virtual — A single endpoint that brings hosted and remote repositories together. GitLab checks the hosted repository first, then falls back to the remote source. The first external pull is cached, so subsequent pulls come directly from GitLab without another trip to the internet. Virtual repositories matter most for teams comparing GitLab with other artifact management solutions. They give developers the familiar single-endpoint experience without requiring them to think about where an artifact lives. Whether it was built internally or pulled from an external registry, developers request it the same way. During the beta period, Artifact Central supports Maven, npm, Docker, and OCI, with more formats to follow. Trace anything back, automatically Here's the part that's hard to replicate outside GitLab. Every artifact that publishes through GitLab Artifact Central carries its build provenance automatically: which pipeline built it, which branch and commit it came from, who triggered the job. Since it is the same platform that ran the build, the registry already knows. Authentication works the same way. Publishing and pulling use CI_JOB_TOKEN, the identity your pipelines already have, for people and agents alike. An agent publishing or pulling through CI pipelines uses that exact same job token, not a bolted-on service account with separate permissions to maintain. With a standalone registry, tracing an artifact back to its source means separately correlating IDs across your CI system and your registry – using a script someone owns and maintains. With Artifact Central, the pipeline, branch, commit, and job are already attached to the artifact itself. Answer 'what did we publish?' in seconds Artifact Central lives in the same platform as your code, merge requests, and pipelines, so artifacts published from CI carry their build provenance: the pipeline that built them, the commit, and who published them. Next, we plan to connect that across your organization through GitLab Orbit, so "which of my running services are affected by this vulnerability?" becomes one question with one answer, instead of a manual search across four or five tools. Pair Artifact Central with Dependency Firewall GitLab Dependency Firewall, a separate GitLab product now in early access for Premium and Ultimate customers, works out of the box with Artifact Central. With Dependency Firewall, you can stop risky packages before they ever reach a build. You add its check to each pipeline using the glab CLI, so coverage is pipeline by pipeline, no matter which package manager your teams use. Next, we plan to enable tighter integration between the two capabilities, so that one policy for your whole organization blocks risky packages by vulnerability, license, or package age the moment they're pulled. Two benefits of the same registry Here's what that looks like from two different desks: a developer shipping code, and the platform team making sure the whole thing holds together. A developer publishing from CI. Your pipeline publishes a Maven artifact using the job token it already has without any new secrets to manage. If that same developer needs an internal package alongside something from Maven Central, they point at one virtual repo URL and let GitLab Artifact Central sort out where each one actually lives. A platform team setting policy once. Instead of configuring rules across 100s of separate projects, an admin sets storage quotas and repository access rules at the organization level, one time — and every repository underneath inherits it. When someone asks how much the company is storing, and where, there's one dashboard with the answer. Migrating your artifacts Most companies aren't starting from zero, and switching cold from an existing registry isn't realistic. With GitLab Artifact Central, you can add your existing repos as remotes behind a virtual repo, so developers point at one URL and artifacts move over only when a build actually asks for one. There is no need for bulk copies, weekend migration windows, or moving petabytes of data across your network. Your old registry remains the system of record. When you're ready, you convert that remote to a hosted repo on Artifact Central. Your migration is safer and gradual. Try Artifact Central, free in beta GitLab Artifact Central is available today in beta for GitLab.com, with availability on GitLab Self-Managed planned for later this month. There's no billing during the beta, and nothing to purchase. We're tracking usage to shape pricing ahead of general availability, and we'll share details then. Help us continue to build GitLab Artifact Central None of this would be where it is without our design partners, who've been running Artifact Central with real workflows for weeks. Their feedback already shaped what's shipping today, and your feedback will shape what comes next. No invitation is required to participate in the beta of Artifact Central, just sign up on our website and a member of our team will be in touch to help enable it for your account. If you don’t have a GitLab account yet, you can also sign up for the beta, and a member of our team will reach out. We can't wait to see what you build. Watch the replay of our Transcend event to see demos of new platform capabilities and explore what it takes to carry the speed of agentic AI across the full software lifecycle. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Dependency Firewall: Block risky packages before the build 2026-10-06 · GitLab · Crypto, AI, Gaming, Cybersecurity, Software & IT https://about.gitlab.com/blog/transcend-dependency-firewall/ Attackers disguise malicious packages as ones you trust. In June 2026, GitLab researchers found five malicious PyPI packages, four of them typosquats of Flask, Requests, and NumPy, that run at install time and steal CI/CD credentials. Additionally, AI coding agents now add open source dependencies on their own, often unreviewed, so developers don't have oversight into what packages may contaminate your build. Once a malicious or vulnerable package enters your build, its code may run with the same access in your CI pipeline, and it can then reach any system your pipelines touch. GitLab Dependency Firewall, introduced today at Transcend in early access, can block packages that match your policy, including malicious, vulnerable, and non-compliant packages, before they reach your build. Built-in governance stops risk before install, so your team doesn’t have to trace, remove, or rebuild what a policy blocks. Developers and their agents can keep pulling the dependencies they need without waiting on a manual security review, and packages that satisfy your policy requirements become part of your official build. Block malicious packages without breaking your build Without a policy at the point of install, a bad package goes into the build first and gets caught later. Software composition analysis (SCA) scans what you've already pulled in, so by the time it flags a malicious package, a high-severity vulnerability, or a license your legal team won't accept, the dependency is installed and may have shipped in an artifact. Tracing where it went, pulling it out, and rebuilding turns a routine pipeline run into unplanned work for your engineering team. With Dependency Firewall, you decide what's allowed into your builds before it's installed, by defining policies for: Malicious status — packages flagged in GitLab's malware advisory database Vulnerability severity — the severity you set (critical, high, medium, or low) and the number of findings you allow at that level, including zero License type — the licenses you allow or deny, listed by full name, and how to handle packages whose license can't be determined Package age — the minimum age a package must reach before it can enter a build, so a version published minutes ago can't go straight in before anyone has vetted it Rolling out enforcement does not have to put delivery at risk. Start in warn mode, where the firewall records what a policy would catch, but lets the build continue. It leaves an audit event, a dashboard entry, and a line in the CI summary, so you can analyze whether or not to block the build. Once you trust the policies, switch to block mode, which stops the pipeline on a match and gives the reason. When someone has a real need to get an approved package through, a logged bypass lets a designated user or token proceed, on the record. Set policy once, or tailor it by team A firewall that enforces only at the registry gives everyone the same policy, but that rarely fits how teams actually work. A payments service and an internal prototype carry very different risk, and your policy should treat them differently. With Dependency Firewall, you set one policy at the top-level group and every project beneath it inherits the same rules. When a team needs something different, you can set a policy for that group or project. You can also enforce policy at the registry, so every pull is checked, not just pulls from a pipeline. Rules live as code in a security policy project, so they are reviewed and changed through a merge request like the rest of your configuration. They inherit from the top-level group down to each project, and where rules overlap the strictest one applies. A critical service can be held above the organization's baseline, and no project drops below it. Check a package before you pull it in A developer, or an agent working on their behalf, usually finds out a package is not allowed only when the pipeline fails. That costs a build cycle and breaks concentration, right when the work is moving. You get the answer from GitLab Dependency Firewall before you add a dependency, in the place you already work, allowing you to pick a package that passes the first time. Using GitLab CLI within the terminal or within a script, a command line check can identify if a package will pass or be blocked by your policy, without requiring developers to open a separate console. It covers common package managers such as npm, pip, Poetry, Maven, Gradle, and Bundler, with more coming soon. See and prove every decision A security leader has to be able to prove what a control is doing during an audit. A control that blocks quietly, with no record, does not answer the auditor’s question and does not build trust with the teams it governs. You get one view of what the firewall has allowed, warned against, and blocked, with an immutable record of each decision you can hand to an auditor. A Dependency Firewall dashboard shows activity and outcomes across the projects in scope. Every warn, block, and bypass writes an audit event that records the rule that matched, the policy behind it, and the package involved. Get early access to GitLab Dependency Firewall You can stop malicious, vulnerable, and non-compliant packages before they reach a build. It is compatible with GitLab Artifact Central and external registries from Sonatype Nexus Repository and JFrog Artifactory, and does not require standing up a separate tool next to your GitLab deployment. Dependency Firewall is now in early access for GitLab.com and GitLab Self-Managed customers in the Premium or Ultimate tier.

New flows with Claude Mythos 5 and 5.1GA next monthFind and remediate vulnerabilities on GitLab Duo Agent Platform with new security flows. Agent orchestration across the software lifecycle Today, each step in your agentic workflow still waits for a person to approve it before the next one starts. Goal-driven flows take a stated objective and run it end to end, through review, tests, security scans, and approvals from the Duo CLI, headless mode, or Agentic Chat. Custom Flows let you chain agents together to match the process your team already follows. GitLab for Slack starts a flow from the channel where the conversation is already happening. The MCP Server enables external AI applications and coding agents to securely access your GitLab instance under the same policy your own agents follow. GitLab-hosted open-weight models, including GLM 5.3, Kimi K3, and MiniMax 3, give you a lower-cost option when a workload doesn't need a frontier model. At similar task-completion rates, some open weight pairings deliver up to 8x more model calls per GitLab Credit than their frontier counterparts. Data and context to power human and agent reasoning Every agent task starts by re-deriving the same context, which drives up retries and token use. And without coherent visibility into AI costs and ROI, there's no way to tell whether your investment is paying off. GitLab Orbit, the context graph of your entire software lifecycle increases agent accuracy with up to 45x fewer retries, effectively reducing cost for agentic workflows with up to 4.5x fewer token use. During its beta period, Orbit has been used by more than 3,500 organizations, running over 280,000 queries. Duo Agent Platform Impact Analytics shows the cost and impact of your AI investment by team, task, and model. Credit and usage controls let you set caps at the subscription, group, or user level, with alerts at 50%, 80%, and 100% of spend, and an automatic pause once you hit the cap you set. DevOps infrastructure at agent scale Most of what ships isn't code your team wrote, it's assembled from open source packages, base images, and libraries pulled in from everywhere. When every team runs its own registry, there's no single place to confirm what you actually published or shipped. Back in June, during Transcend London, we introduced our next-gen source code management solution helping you achieve machine scale with your coding agents. The next machine-scale problem goes to the step after code, when you’re creating a build. GitLab Artifact Central replaces a separate registry per team with one place to publish and pull from, built next to your source code and CI pipelines. It publishes and pulls Maven, npm, and Docker, and OCI packages directly from CI pipelines, with PyPI and NuGet coming at GA. Artifact Central uses the same identity and permissions as your source code, with virtual repos, native CI/CD authentication, and full build provenance. Early results show roughly 50% lower total cost of ownership compared to alternative tooling. Governance and security with centralized enforcement Agents pull in package components to your build at machine speed, making it impossible to manually secure what you ship. When that gap exists, you risk shipping security vulnerabilities into production rather than catching them before they impact customers, and you have to answer for it. GitLab Dependency Firewall, now in early access, sets rules on package age, vulnerability severity, malicious package detection, and license compliance, with actions to block, quarantine, or warn, enforced on the registries you already use. It works directly with GitLab Artifact Central, and is compatible with JFrog Artifactory and Sonatype Nexus Repository. With a greater number of builds, another risk emerges: agents inheriting build-time secrets from local dev environments that nobody secured, and using them across CI pipelines. GitLab Secrets Manager gives each build-time secret one home, scoped to the job that needs it, with one-click revocation for a leaked credential and up to 50% savings compared to hosting a separate vault. The same AI models that let agents write and ship code at machine speed also make existing weaknesses faster and cheaper to discover, connect, and exploit. The GitLab Security Standard lays out five stages for assessing and hardening your agentic software development: authorizing every actor's access, isolating workspaces and their inputs, verifying the checks that judge the work, releasing exactly what was verified, and responding fast when something looks wrong, all built on a foundation of policy, audit, and ownership. Read the full standard for the complete breakdown. Coming soon, Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5 and 5.1 will power new GitLab Duo Agent Platform security flows, helping organizations with approved environments find and fix vulnerabilities faster than attackers can discover and exploit them. How to buy with GitLab Flex Agentic software engineering makes headcount, credit burn, and new capabilities hard to predict six months out.

The summit targets CIOs, cloud architects, and tech founders managing three or more cloud providers, aiming to unify them into one estate, minimizing downtime and operational friction. Cloud convergence is the idea that an enterprise should run on every cloud it needs and still feel like it runs on one. Many large enterprises unintentionally adopted multi-cloud environments. They arrived there by accident, and the result is separate consoles, separate policies and databases that are hard to move or protect. Speakers tackle cloud convergence challenges from their industry's front lines. Featured speakers and their connection to cloud convergence Malur Narayan, CEO & Co-Founder, XTRIUM. Leveraging Cloud Infrastructure for Critical Materials Decisions: AI to Mitigate Supply Disruptions. Supply chain decisions depend on data spread across systems and clouds. Narayan shows how a unified cloud foundation turns that data into earlier warnings. Jimmy Jobe, CEO & Co-Founder, Verge Technologies. Opening Keynote: The Cloud Convergence Model (Thursday, October 8, 12:00 PM CT). The model for managing every database and every cloud as one virtual data center. Matt LeBaron, Founder & CEO, Pocketbook. Fireside chat: Cloud Sprawl Is a Procurement Problem: What to Fix Before Your Next Renewal. The cost side of convergence: what scattered cloud contracts and tools really cost, and what to fix before renewal. Jacqueline Suttin, CEO & Founder, MagenTrust. Human in the Loop: Closing the Zero Trust Gap in Agentic AI for Government. The security side of convergence: how human verification stays in the loop as database operations become autonomous. MagenTrust and Verge announced an integration on July 15, 2026. Prasad Jaladi, Founder & Chief Facilitator, Suraksha. The Dual Mandate for Enterprise Architecture. The architecture side of convergence: designing one coherent enterprise estate across many platforms. Click here for all Speakers Additional speakers are being confirmed and will be announced to registrants first. What attendees will learn From swivel-chair management to one pane: how enterprises running four to seven cloud providers are replacing separate consoles with a single management plane. Downtime as a design choice: how operators are working to take planned outages off the table and cut disaster recovery time for the database layer. Multi-cloud by design, not by accident: building a cloud estate that is intentionally resilient and cost-aware. Explore autonomous management in the AI era: Self-healing, predictive infrastructure readies enterprises for expanding AI workloads. Attendees can also request a sandbox of Verge's SentientDB on their own stack after the event. Event details Dates: Thursday, October 8 and Friday, October 9, 2026 Time: 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM Central, both days Format: Virtual, live with Q&A in every session Cost: Free.

Today, we’re sharing progress on our “One Step Ahead” anti-scam education campaign designed to help people across Asia-Pacific take simple, practical steps to protect their accounts and know where to turn for help when they encounter a potential scam.  The campaign was designed alongside more than 25 local safety organizations, law enforcement and government agencies across the region, and rolled out across Facebook and Instagram with three simple principles at its core: 1) safety advice should be practical, 2) easy to act on, and 3) come from a source people trust.  Since launching in May 2026, the campaign has reached more than 303 million people across 18 countries, delivering over 1.3 billion impressions and more than 1.2 million link clicks — one of the largest online-safety education efforts Meta has run in the region. The campaign promotes security tools available on Meta apps that people can use to increase their online safety:  Two-factor authentication adds a second check at login, so a stolen password isn’t enough to get in. Passkeys let people sign in with the fingerprint, face or PIN they already use – passkeys can’t be stolen, shared, guessed or reused. Security Checkup walks people through strengthening their Facebook account in minutes. Privacy Checkup keeps people in control of who can see, message and connect with them. WhatsApp’s Linked Device Warning alerts users when it detects a suspicious login attempt, an unauthorized web client, or a potential account-linking scam. WhatsApp group settings allow you to adjust group privacy settings to choose who can add you to WhatsApp groups. Partnering with the people communities already trust Collaboration is key in tackling scams and educating people on how to be safe online. Working with respected local partners lets us extend our reach, reinforce credibility, and make sure people know how to access local anti-scam resources. Through the campaign’s “Know Your Local Resources” element – which alone reached more than 27.4 million people across 14 markets  – people are connected directly to trusted organizations in their own country for reporting tools and support. See below for a full list of partner organizations.   What’s next The “One Step Ahead” campaign will continue throughout 2026, with new tools and locally tailored resources rolling out across the region and more partnerships on the way.

The combination brings trusted vendor data, invoice validation and independent payment verification into one global payment assurance platform. The acquisition comes as businesses grapple with fragmented systems and ongoing cybercrime risks. As AI enables faster, more automated finance workflows, trusted data and connected controls become even more important. Together, Eftsure and Relish provide an independent layer of trust that works across businesses' existing ERP, procurement, payroll and treasury systems. From trusted vendor data to verified payments Eftsure and Relish address different points in the same payment journey. Eftsure independently verifies the payee and bank details before a payment is released. Relish's Data Assure technology validates and enriches the vendor data behind those payments against live government and third-party sources, while its Invoice AI technology automates and validates invoice processing. Together, these capabilities give enterprises a unified foundation, reducing reliance on disconnected onboarding, validation and payment controls. Jon Soldan, chief executive officer of Eftsure, said: "Bringing together the payment integrity leaders across Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America creates something the market hasn't had before: a truly global payment assurance platform from onboarding to payment. We meet customers where they are, from SMB to enterprise, interfacing with our portal or one of our 35+ integrations. We remain independent and system-agnostic, committed to working across the ecosystem to give customers choice and flexibility. "As finance becomes more autonomous, faster workflows aren't enough. Enterprises need trusted data and independent verification behind every payment. This combination brings those controls together at a global scale." Ryan Walicki, chief executive officer of Relish, said: "Relish was built to close the data and workflow gaps that expose enterprises to financial risk. Joining Eftsure connects that intelligence with independent payment verification, giving finance teams greater confidence from vendor onboarding and invoice processing through to the moment money moves." The combined platform provides visibility from accounts payable and payroll to procurement and treasury. It integrates with more than 35 finance and enterprise platforms, including SAP, Coupa, Workday, ServiceNow, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Oracle NetSuite, and continues to work with partners to expand integrations across the finance ecosystem. Scale built for evolving finance challenges According to INTERPOL, global financial fraud losses reached an estimated US$442 billion in 2025 (approximately A$630 billion), illustrating the scale of risk that businesses face. Combined, Eftsure, Sis ID and Relish serve more than 4,000 corporate customers and employ more than 600 people across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Over the past year, Eftsure's global annual recurring revenue grew 45%. The platform protects more than A$413 billion in payments a year, actively monitors 11 million vendors and provides coverage across 190 countries and territories. It can verify accounts covering approximately 85% of the world's banked population. The acquisition expands Eftsure's global presence and follows its 2025 acquisition of France-based payment control company Sis ID, as well as its August 2026 launch in Singapore. Finance leaders can request a demonstration at eftsure.com/demo.

As the hardware resources and infrastructure that facilitate the conversion of data resources into tokens, TokenCloud builds a four-tier, synergistic ecosystem based on heterogeneous computing devices, powered by mainstream algorithmic models, fueled by multi-source internal and external data, and serving vertical industry clients. It is dedicated to establishing a full-chain value pathway from data to tokens, enabling every piece of data to securely and efficiently unlock its intelligent value, and helping industries across the board transform data resources into genuine AI productivity. The launch of TokenCloud marks Xunce Technology’s formal establishment of a full-chain product closed-loop encompassing “computing power—data—tokens—models—applications.” This achievement signifies a leap from a “digital foundation” to an “AI productivity platform,” securing a strategic vantage point in the token economy era while providing the industry with a model for AI infrastructure that bridges the entire “data-to-token” value chain. Building a Scenario-Driven, End-to-End Closed Loop to Provide Out-of-the-Box AI Infrastructure As enterprise AI applications shift from “proof of technical feasibility” to “competition in engineering efficiency,” systemic challenges—such as computing power shortages, difficulties in model selection, hardware compatibility issues, challenges in optimized deployment, and significant security concerns—are becoming the biggest bottlenecks hindering AI implementation. TokenCloud was created precisely to address these pain points. Positioned as the core “hardware and energy foundation” at the upstream of the token industry chain, it adheres to the principle of “ensuring every unit of computing power precisely serves every enterprise AI scenario.” It has built a complete closed-loop process spanning “scenario identification → model selection → hardware matching → training optimization → secure delivery.” Based on business scenarios and tasks, it intelligently recommends the optimal model and matches it with the most suitable hardware. It then uses distillation optimization to enable lightweight, “specialized” models to achieve accelerated inference with high accuracy, all the way through to secure delivery. With each step seamlessly linked, it provides enterprise customers with out-of-the-box AI infrastructure. In terms of product design, TokenCloud adopts a “full-chain visualization” philosophy, integrating the previously disparate processes of model selection, computing power configuration, security management, and cost assessment in AI deployment into a unified decision-making platform. Comprising five core modules—solution selection, model distillation, data security management, computing power acceleration, and computing resource management—this platform shifts enterprise AI deployment from “rule-of-thumb” approaches to “data-driven decision-making.” It ensures that the return on investment for every computing power allocation is clearly quantifiable, achieving a dynamic balance among performance, cost, and security. Four Core Capabilities Build Competitive Barriers and Enable Deep Synergy Between Models and Computing Power The actual value of a token is determined by four key metrics: first-character latency, generation speed, concurrent processing capacity, and service stability. Through Hardware-Software Co-Optimization, TokenCloud enables the large-scale supply of high-quality tokens—ensuring that every piece of data unleashes its maximum token value through the optimal combination of models and hardware. Specifically, TokenCloud has established industry-leading technological barriers through four core capabilities: a heterogeneous hardware platform, Cloud-Edge Collaboration Architecture, model evaluation and optimization, and secure isolation: Heterogeneous Hardware Platform—Integrates diverse computing resources such as GPUs, NPUs, FPGAs, and CPUs to enable unified management and intelligent scheduling across architectures. It supports full-scenario coverage ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of cards, abstracting underlying, disparate hardware resources into unified computing units. Cloud-Edge Synergy Architecture—Establishes a hybrid deployment model combining “cloud computing power and on-premises computing power,” enabling elastic scaling to handle large-scale training and high-concurrency inference while ensuring that enterprises’ raw data remains within secure domains. This allows enterprises to enjoy cloud computing power while maintaining full data sovereignty at all times. Model Evaluation and Optimization System—Establishes a comprehensive evaluation framework covering foundational capabilities, scenario adaptation, engineering optimization, and ecosystem value. It supports task-specific distillation optimization, transferring the core capabilities of large models to lightweight scenario-specific models, thereby significantly reducing inference latency and hardware costs while maintaining high accuracy. Of particular importance is computing power acceleration—while chip computing power continues to rise, actual effective throughput remains far below theoretical peak values. Through end-to-end acceleration capabilities, TokenCloud significantly reduces first-token latency and enhances concurrent processing capacity, transforming acceleration cards from “waiting for computation” to “continuous computation.” This enables enterprises to support larger business volumes without additional hardware, achieving the optimal balance between accuracy, speed, cost, and deployment efficiency, and enabling the large-scale supply of high-quality tokens. Security Isolation Mechanism—We build a multi-layered security protection system where data visibility is tiered and data flow is fully traceable throughout its entire journey. Highly sensitive data is 100% locked within the enterprise’s local security domain, with a three-pronged approach combining multi-tenant isolation, encrypted transmission, and access control. Unlike simple computing power rental platforms or model service platforms on the market, TokenCloud achieves deep synergy between models and computing power—the platform centrally determines the degree of model distillation and the hardware for deployment, ensuring the optimal balance of accuracy, speed, cost, and efficiency. It provides enterprise customers with a comprehensive, one-stop service solution—from model selection and hardware matching to distillation optimization—covering the entire “computing power—data—Token—model—application” chain to accelerate the implementation of enterprise AI. Software and Hardware Synergy Closes the Full-Path Loop; Full-Stack AI Products Accelerate Industry Adoption The launch of TokenCloud has enabled Xunce Technology’s full-path product ecosystem to form a complete commercial loop. Previously, the company had introduced the world’s first TokenOS operating system; the two systems have clearly defined roles and operate in synergy. TokenOS focuses on data capabilities, transforming enterprises’ multi-source, heterogeneous data into standardized scenario-based Tokens in real time, thereby addressing the issue of “data usability.” TokenCloud focuses on model training and deployment, as well as “data + model” integration capabilities. It integrates computing power scheduling, model inference optimization, and the refinement, tuning, and orchestration of enterprise-level small models, bridging the entire chain from data ingestion to application deployment and providing hardware service support for Token generation. Through this synergy between software and hardware, combined with the underlying AIDP data resource processing service system and the top-level TokenRouters model outcomes service and scenario integration and exchange center, the two solutions together form a complete “computing power—data—Token—model—application” closed-loop ecosystem. This enables enterprises to significantly reduce deployment costs and improve matching efficiency through the synergy of computing power, data, and models. Xunce Technology has also undergone a comprehensive upgrade from an AI real-time data infrastructure service provider to an integrated AI-to-B infrastructure service provider. Furthermore, Xunce Technology has partnered with multiple domestic GPU manufacturers to focus on the integration of “computing power and data.” As the localization of the full AI stack enters the stage of systematic engineering optimization, TokenCloud has become a key hub connecting domestic heterogeneous computing power with enterprise AI applications, offering significant strategic value within the ecosystem. Currently, the company has expanded into eleven high-value industries, including finance, telecommunications, power, energy, high-end manufacturing, biomedicine, robotics training, commercial space, urban operations, the low-altitude economy, and smart vehicles. In the first half of 2026, the Token business model was successfully implemented in high-value scenarios such as biomedicine, energy dispatch, and industrial quality inspection, laying the groundwork for cross-industry replication. The ultimate goal of computing power is not to simply stack chips, but to ensure that every piece of data can be securely and efficiently converted into token value. As AI transitions from the “model competition” phase to the “deployment competition” phase, enterprises need not isolated computing power or isolated models, but rather an integrated infrastructure capable of combining computing power, data, and models to truly adapt to enterprise business scenarios. Positioned as an integrated AI infrastructure, TokenCloud enables computing power to serve models, models to serve scenarios, and scenarios to generate value, thereby laying a solid computing power foundation for the AI transformation of China’s myriad industries. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— NETSCOUT Data Platform Transforms AI-Driven Network Operations and Controls Costs 2026-09-03 · Business Wire · Finance, AI, SaaS, Cybersecurity https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/netscout-data-platform-transforms-ai-090000278.html WESTFORD, Mass., September 03, 2026--NETSCOUT® SYSTEMS, INC.

The theme of this year's report reflects SK tes' brief that circularity is no longer solely about waste reduction and resource recovery, but a strategic enabler of business resilience, resource security, and long-term value creation. As industries face accelerating technology refresh cycles, evolving regulations, and increasing pressure to deliver on sustainability commitments, the report explores how circular economy principles can help business build more resilient supply chains while reducing environmental impact. The report also examines the growing influence of AI and data center expansion on global technology lifecycles, highlighting the critical role of responsible IT asset disposition (ITAD), reuse, and material recovery in supporting a sustainable digital economy. The report details SK tes' continued progress across its Protect, Preserve, and Provide sustainability strategy, including advances in climate action, responsible e-waste management, data security, workforce wellbeing, ethical business conduct, diversity and inclusion, and sustainable innovation. It also outlines the company's first Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), which provides a deeper understanding of both SK tes' impacts on society and the environment and the sustainability issues most material to the business and its stakeholders. "This year we highlight the growing importance of resilience. Global supply chains continue to experience disruption from geopolitical circumstances, trade restrictions, resource constraints, inflationary pressures, and climate-related risks. The need for resilient circular economy solutions has never been greater. While circularity is often viewed through the lens of resource recovery and waste reduction, its true value extends much further - helping organizations strengthen business continuity, improve resource security and create long-term competitive advantage." - Jin Mo Lee, CEO, SK tes The report identifies several emerging trends shaping the future of circularity, including the rapid growth of AI infrastructure. As AI drives unprecedented demand for servers, advanced chips and data center capacity, SK tes highlights the importance of extending hardware lifecycles, maximizing reuse opportunities, and recovering valuable materials from end-of-life technology. The report notes that circular approaches remain a critical lever for reducing the environmental footprint of AI while supporting the transition to a more resource-efficient economy. "At SK tes, sustainability is not a separate agenda. It is how we create value, manage risk, innovate, and build long-term resilience for our clients, employees and communities. Our 2025 Sustainability Report marks the evolution of SK tes from a technology lifecycle services provider into a trusted sustainability partner. Through initiatives such as our Double Materiality Assessment, ESG Quality Framework, Carbon Roadmap, and ongoing innovation in circular solutions, we are helping businesses transform their sustainability ambitions into measurable outcomes while preparing for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow." - Alvin Piadasa, Group Sustainability Director, SK tes Among the year's achievements, SK tes strengthened its sustainability governance framework, enhanced independent verification and assurance processes, expanded renewable energy usage, and continued developing innovative circular services. The company also advanced its Carbon Roadmap, helping customers connect circularity with climate action through avoided emissions measurement, enhanced carbon reporting, and future carbon inset opportunities. The report also provides a progress update on SK tes' long-term mission to make a Decade of Difference by sustainably transforming and repurposing one billion kilograms of assets by 2030, as well as achieving the 2025 target to reduce landfill volumes. Looking ahead, SK tes will remain focused on strengthening governance, accelerating climate action, improving transparency across its value chain, and developing innovative solutions that support a more resilient circular economy. The full 2025 Sustainability Report: Resilience in the Circular Economy, is available to download from the SK tes website.

The investment from the Onchain Foundation will support the international scaling of Trust Square's ecosystem-driven business model, including the expansion of its flagship initiatives, Trust Forum, Trust Circle, and Trust Hive, as well as further ecosystem development activities connecting global innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, corporates, policymakers, and academia.

Scaling Trust Square's Global Innovation Platform The global innovation landscape is evolving at unprecedented speed. Artificial intelligence, Web3, blockchain infrastructure, and other frontier technologies are reshaping industries, economies, societies, and governance. However, meaningful innovation requires more than technology alone. It requires trusted environments where leaders can exchange ideas openly, build relationships, and collaborate on solutions that create long-term impact. With the strategic investment from the Onchain Foundation, Trust Square will accelerate the international expansion of its ecosystem-driven business model, scaling its flagship initiatives across leading innovation hubs worldwide. At the core of this expansion are three complementary formats designed to create meaningful connections, foster collaboration, and support the responsible adoption of emerging technologies.

This makes it more important than ever to bring together the innovation leaders of both ecosystems at meetings and events where the future of blockchain and AI can be discussed, shaped, and advanced collaboratively.
