Industrial cybersecurity: the journey towards IEC 62443 compliance

Industrial cybersecurity is on every CISO’s mind as manufacturers strive to integrate their IT and OT operations to drive efficiency and productivity. However, with increased connectivity comes heightened risk. This means that securing devices, networks, and systems is a critical challenge.

GenAI security with confidential computing

Watch to explore how to ensure data security and privacy in AI applications that employ Large Language Models (LLMs). As generative AI becomes increasingly vital for enterprises – especially in applications such as chatbots utilizing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems – ensuring the security and confidentiality of data within these frameworks is essential. During this webinar: We will introduce confidential computing as a method for safeguarding data, with a specific focus on its application within RAG systems for securing data during usage or processing;

Entra ID authentication on Ubuntu at scale with Landscape

In September we introduced Authd, a new authentication daemon for Ubuntu that allows direct integration with cloud-based identity providers for both Ubuntu Desktop and Server. At launch, Authd supports Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), making it a useful tool to centralize authentication for both the application and the infrastructure layer. In large enterprises system administrators often need to deploy and manage applications and their configuration at scale.

Is a real-time OS right for your business?

With automation spanning virtually every sector of society, real-time capable operating systems (OS) are becoming critical across industries, from automotive and telecommunications, to industrial manufacturing. A real-time operating system (RTOS) ensures precise and deterministic responses, meeting strict timing requirements essential for safety and performance.

Confidential AI with Ubuntu on Azure: a deep dive | Data & AI Masters | Canonical and Microsoft

When performing machine learning tasks in the cloud, enterprises understandably have concerns about the potential compromise of their sensitive data privacy as well as their model’s intellectual property. Additionally, stringent industry regulations often prohibit the sharing of such data. This makes it difficult, or outright impossible, to utilise large amounts of valuable private data, limiting the true potential of AI across crucial domains.

Linux Security: Keeping Linux Machines Secure with Less Tinkering

Every operating system has its quirks, and Linux security is no different. Whether you’re on Team Penguin or running mostly Windows boxes (or a bit of both), you’ll need to take different steps to manage security on different OSes. Like any OS, Linux security comes with its own peculiarities, pitfalls, and best practices.

Understanding Ubuntu Logs

Linux, Debian, and Ubuntu are the Kirk, Spock, and McCoy of modern application development. The Captain Kirk, Linux, is the open-source central code for directing and talking to hardware. Debian sits as the trio’s Spock, the original distro that can be seen as more complex to install and use. As a Debian child distro, Ubuntu is the McCoy, helping to heal the challenges that people have when trying to use Debian.
