  According to a recent software industry security report, there is a notable increase in tension between application security (AppSec) workers and application developers over consensus on cloud-native needs. Additionally, there is a growing concern about retaining developer talent in this context. The fundamental issue lies in the inadequacy of traditional AppSec tools for cloud environments. As a result, AppSec teams grapple with the repercussions of lacking appropriate cloud-native tooling daily. This ongoing situation causes team friction, issues with talent retention, revenue concerns, reputation squabbles, and wasting more than half of their time chasing vulnerabilities. The good news? AppSec teams know what they need, and AppSec pros are overwhelmingly aligned on what a modern, cloud-native AppSec paradigm should look like. However, despite this understanding, only a limited number of teams have the necessary capabilities to fulfill these requirements effectively. Study Reveals

  Media caption, In a year's time the Summer Olympics will be underway in Paris. The athletes will, of course, be hoping to make history, but so will one aviation start-up, Volocopter. If all goes to plan, its two-seater electric aircraft, VoloCity, will be carrying passengers around Paris. It will be the first service in Europe to use an electric vertical take-off and landing (EVTOL) aircraft. Dozens of companies around the world have been developing EVTOL aircraft, promising quieter, cheaper and emission-free aircraft, that can land right in the heart of cities. Volocopter expects to get the European aerospace regulator, EASA, to clear its machine, the VoloCity to carry passengers in the next few months, so they can be ready for the Olympics. "Everything is ready and set to go for the middle of next year," says Christian Bauer, the German company's chief financial officer. Three routes will connect the centre of Paris with the city's airports and heliport. Voloc

Microsoft and OpenAI have gone hand-in-hand for a long time, from Microsoft’s initial funding of the company behind ChatGPT to embedding GPT services inside the Azure AI platform. Azure OpenAI Service is at the “forefront” of a generative AI transformation that includes GPT-4, while the Azure AI infrastructure is the “backbone,” the Redmond tech giant wrote in a blog post detailing updates to the Azure AI platform on Monday. Two big changes — new offerings from OpenAI and upgraded virtual machine hardware — show Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to putting generative AI in play in more ways.
