Solana In The Spotlight: Will 2025 Be Its Breakout Year?
The Solana platform, acclaimed for its speed, scalability, and innovation, was established back in 2017 by Anatoly Yakovenko, a skilled software engineer with experience at Qualcomm. Solana supports high-speed and low-cost transactions on a single-layer blockchain. This means that decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, game finance (GameFi) apps, and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) networks can scale without requiring major infrastructure changes. Solana's chief innovation is speed. It can process approximately 65,000 transactions per second, so it's considerably faster than Ethereum.

Breaking the Cycle of Alert Fatigue: How to Prioritize Critical Vulnerabilities
Security teams are increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of alerts generated by detection tools. While detection capabilities have improved over time, this has led to an unintended consequence: alert fatigue. The rapid proliferation of alerts—many of which lack critical context—makes it difficult for security teams to prioritize and address the most urgent vulnerabilities.

Fintech 2.0: Why Banks Must Adapt or Be Left Behind
For banks, the question is no longer if they should act, but how fast they must adapt.

PIVOTT Act Revived to Tackle Growing Cybersecurity Workforce Shortages

Both public and private sector organizations – including the UK’s NCSC and the SANS Institute – have introduced countless initiatives in an attempt to close the cyber workforce gap, but it keeps growing. Perhaps the US PIVOTT Act will work better?
