Hi Team! This post is my application for the open Staff Software Engineer position. A Bit About Me I’m a software engineer from Omaha, NE (USA) with BS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering from University of Nebraska and an MS in Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon. For the last 9 years, I’ve been […]
2023 saw attackers increasingly focusing on the discovery and exploitation of zero-day vulnerabilities in third-party libraries (libvpx, ImagelO) and drivers (Mali GPU, Qualcomm Adreno GPU), as they can affect multiple products and effectively offer more possibilities for attack. Another interesting conclusion from Google’s recent rundown of the 97 zero-days exploited in-the-wild in 2023 is that […]
The Olympic Games, the FIFA World Cup, and the Super Bowl are just a few examples of iconic sporting events that showcase the global significance of the professional sports industry. But while professional sports stir passion and emotion among fans, cybercriminals couldn’t care less about the competitive aspects of sports or the feeling of community […]
In this article, we’ll explore the use of prompt compression techniques in the early stages of development, which can help reduce the ongoing operating costs of GenAI-based applications. Often, generative AI applications utilize the retrieval-augmented generation framework, alongside prompt engineering, to extract the best output from the underlying large language models. However, this approach may […]
Many Cisco enterprise customers have decades of Cisco Catalyst routing and security capabilities functioning at branch locations. However, many of their traditional network management solutions can’t keep up with the demands of cloud adoption, remote work, and ever-growing user expectations. This translates to poor user experience, sluggish applications, and possible security vulnerabilities. These factors are […]
In 2023, Stack Overflow started exploring how generative AI capabilities could support and accelerate the developers’ experience by honing in on the unique problems developers face with technical discovery and solution design. We’ve documented our experience along the way, launched several concepts and tests, and learned a lot from our users through this exploration. We […]
Enterprise Application Modernization is a critical need in a rapidly evolving digital world. Application Modernization helps drive smart decisions and efficient processes. It also offers businesses a competitive edge. Organizations achieve many digital transformation goals through modernization projects. Application Modernization may be the only way to overcome handicaps baked into existing software that has become […]
As expected, cyberattackers have pounced on a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in the Fortinet Enterprise Management Server (EMS) that was patched last week, allowing them to execute arbitrary code and commands with system admin privileges on affected systems. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2024-48788 with a 9.3 out of 10 CVSS vulnerability-severity score, was […]
