The Bermuda Triangle is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircrafts and vessels have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to paranormal or extraterrestrial activity. However, documented evidence shows that many incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished over time. Official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances is similar to other ocean areas. Supernatural theories for the phenomena include death rays from the lost city of Atlantis, the presence of sea monsters, or losses due to a time warp. But most disappearances likely have logical explanations like hurricanes, earthquakes, or magnetic field issues causing navigation problems."Mystery Of Bermuda Triangle"

In this presentation, we want to explore powerful data integration and preparation for Machine Learning. FME is known for its ability to manipulate and transform geospatial data, connecting diverse data sources into efficient and automated workflows. By integrating FME with Machine Learning techniques, it is possible to transform raw data into valuable insights faster and more accurately, enabling intelligent analysis and data-driven decision making.OpenACC and Open Hackathons Monthly Highlights June 2025

We live in an ever evolving landscape for cyber threats creating security risk for your production systems. Mitigating these risks requires participation throughout all stages from development through production delivery - and by every role including architects, developers QA and DevOps engineers, product owners and leadership. No one is excused! This session will cover examples of common mistakes or missed opportunities that can lead to vulnerabilities in production - and ways to do better throughout the development lifecycle.Tech-ASan: Two-stage check for Address Sanitizer - Yixuan Cao.pdf

Russia is one of the most aggressive nations when it comes to state coordinated cyberattacksand Ukraine has been at the center of their crosshairs for 3 years. This report, provided the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine contains an incredible amount of cybersecurity insights, showcasing the coordinated aggressive cyberwarfare campaigns of Russia against Ukraine.
It brings to the forefront that understanding your adversary, especially an aggressive nation state, is important for cyber defense. Knowing their motivations, capabilities, and tactics becomes an advantage when allocating resources for maximum impact.
Intelligence shows Russia is on a cyber rampage, leveraging FSB, SVR, and GRU resources to professionally target Ukraines critical infrastructures, military, and international diplomacy support efforts.
The number of total incidents against Ukraine, originating from Russia, has steadily increased from 1350 in 2021 to 4315 in 2024, but the number of actual critical incidents has been managed down from a high of 1048 in 2022 to a mere 59 in 2024showcasing how the rapid detection and response to cyberattacks has been impacted by Ukraines improved cyber resilience.
Even against a much larger adversary, Ukraine is showcasing outstanding cybersecurity, enabled by strong strategies and sound tactics. There are lessons to learn for any enterprise that could potentially be targeted by aggressive nation states.

Gordon Cooper, Principal Product Manager at Synopsys, presents the Key Requirements to Successfully Implement Generative AI in Edge DevicesOptimized Mapping to the Enhanced NPX6 Neural Processing Unit IP tutorial at the May 2025 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this talk, Cooper discusses emerging trends in generative AI for edge devices and the key role of transformer-based neural networks. He reviews the distinct attributes of transformers, their advantages over conventional convolutional neural networks and how they enable generative AI.
Cooper then covers key requirements that must be met for neural processing units (NPU) to support transformers and generative AI in edge device applications. He uses transformer-based generative AI examples to illustrate the efficient mapping of these workloads onto the enhanced Synopsys ARC NPX NPU IP family.Information Security Response Team Nepal_npCERT_Vice_President_Sudan_Jha.pdf
