The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and AMD are collaborating on two new AI supercomputers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as part of a larger AI strategy to advance research in science, energy, and national security — and strengthen the nation’s position in high-performance computing.The two machines represent about $1 billion in public and private investment. Once complete, they will form...
In modern software development, speed and security must go hand in hand. Teams are shipping code faster than ever, but such a rapid pace can introduce security vulnerabilities if not managed correctly. Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is an important practice for finding security flaws in running applications. However, manual DAST scans can be slow and cumbersome, creating bottlenecks that...
