Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Leads Over Windows 11 In Creator Workstation Performance
The past few weeks I have been testing out the new HP Z6 G5 A workstation desktop PC. It's a beast in being powered by the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9975WX, eight channels of DDR5-5600 memory, and paired with a NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Max-Q workstation graphics card. The full review on the HP Z6 G5 A workstation will be published on Phoronix in the next week or so but given the timing and that it shipped with WIndows 11 Pro, here is a look at how Windows 11 Pro is competing against the newly-rel...

Get Motivated: What to Expect from Our Keynote at Rapid7's Global Cybersecurity Summit
Security teams prepare for incidents every day. Alerts are tuned, playbooks are built, and processes are tested. But when something actually happens, the challenge shifts. It becomes not just about making decisions under pressure, but how well that preparation has set teams up to make the right decisions when things heat up. At this year’s Rapid7 Global Cybersecurity Summit , Persistence Under Pressure explores that shift directly. Former Special Forces operator Jason Fox draws on real-world ...

MDR Selection is a Partnership Decision
Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a cybersecurity service that combines human expertise and technology to detect, investigate, and respond to threats 24/7. I write this as a Field CISO at Rapid7, but also as someone who has had to live with the operational reality of MDR on the customer side. I have seen what happens when a service is a black box, when technology and service drift apart, and when cost, retention, and accountability are misaligned. That experience shapes the view in this...

Digital Triage Masterclass
For decades, the forensic “gold standard” was straightforward: isolate the machine, pull the plug, and image the drive. In that era, what you saw on the screen was exactly what you would extract, bit by bit, from the magnetic platters. Today, that assumption is outdated, and is actively detrimental to an investigation. The digital forensics […]

Why Secure Data Movement Is the Zero Trust Bottleneck Nobody Talks About
Every security program is betting on the same assumption: once a system is connected, the problem is solved. Open a ticket, stand up a gateway, push the data through. Done. That assumption is wrong. It is also a major reason Zero Trust programs stall. New research my team just published puts numbers on it. The Cyber360: Defending the Digital Battlespace report, based on a survey of 500 security

Endpoint and memory forensics fundamentals for UK SMEs
When a security incident is suspected, many SMEs focus first on stopping the immediate problem. That is sensible.

Can You Turn “What I Want to Do” into a Runnable SeaTunnel Config with AI?
This article argues that the real challenge in AI-generated configurations is not generation, but ensuring they are runnable, reviewable, and maintainable. Using SeaTunnel as a case study, it proposes a structured pipeline approach that translates natural language into intermediate representations, validates configurations, and enables iterative fixes. The key takeaway is that reliable AI-assisted engineering requires controlled pipelines, not just raw generation.

The Trust Gap Behind the AI Coding Boom: What 200 Security Practitioners Just Told Us
New research from ProjectDiscovery surfaces an uncomfortable truth: Engineering has accelerated, and Security has been left to absorb the impact, mostly by hand. If you work in application security right now, you already know the shape of the problem. Pull requests are landing faster than they used to. The diffs are bigger. The author on the commit is increasingly your engineering team's AI assistant, not the engineer themselves. And somewhere downstream, you and a small team are expected to ke

Red Hat's Stratis Storage 3.9 Released With Online Encryption/Decryption/Reencryption
It's crazy to realize it has been ten years already since Red Hat abandoned their Btrfs plans for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and dropped it, which was a technology preview feature since RHEL6. In its place Red Hat engineers began developing Stratis for next-gen Linux storage with ZFS/Btrfs-like features but instead building atop XFS, LUKS, Device Mapper, and Clevis.

Solana’s Quantum-Readiness Post: A Deeper Analysis
Solana's 27 April 2026 'Quantum Readiness' post calls the work 'manageable,' the chain 'ahead in its preparation,' and the performance impact negligible. The engineering signal (two validator clients converging on Falcon) is real. The framing softens implementation maturity, Falcon side-channel hazards, migration mechanics, and Solana's position relative to Bitcoin and especially Ethereum. Reassurance and fear-selling are the same anti-pattern from opposite ends; both substitute confidence fo...
