A few weeks ago there was excitement in the FreeBSD camp with FreeBSD 16 set to retire the last of its GPL code from the base system. While the retiring of the dialog code proclaimed that it was the last remaining piece of GPL software in the base system for FreeBSD, it turns out now that there is some GPL code within the FreeBSD kernel...

Digital sovereignty used to sit somewhere between a compliance checkbox and a future roadmap item. That’s changing fast. At Red Hat Summit, Mohammed Retmi of Core42 in the United Arab Emirates and A.S. "Raj" Rajgopal of NxtGen in India joined me for a roundtable on how 2 very different markets are building sovereign clouds, and why the conversation now shows up in nearly every customer meeting.Their starting points could not be more different. In the UAE, national regulation defines what partial and full sovereign cloud mean, from data residency and encryption to government pre-screening of

Post-quantum cryptography: The emerging threatThe transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is becoming an urgent priority for the global financial sector due to the rapid evolution of quantum computing. Cryptographically relevant quantum computers exist only as research prototypes. However, their inevitable development threatens to compromise public-key cryptography—e.g., Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and elliptical curve cryptography (ECC)—currently used to protect financial communications, digital signatures, and payment systems. For financial services institutions (FSIs) this is of p

Part 2 of a series on implementing zero trust in Red Hat OpenShift with the layered zero trust validated pattern (ZTVP)In our previous article, we explored why network policies, specifically a default-deny posture combined with strict ingress and egress rules, are your critical last line of defense when you can’t patch fast enough or when all other security barriers fail. By locking down network communication, we effectively eliminate lateral attack paths and contain the blast radius of a compromised workload.But a true zero-trust architecture as defined by NIST SP 800-207 isn't about buildi

How can a large organization achieve 100% uptime and zero security breaches at a massive scale? It requires moving past standard management techniques and focusing on a critical metric: maintainability. At the recent Red Hat OpenShift Commons Gathering in Amsterdam, ING senior engineers Robbin Siepman and Rob de Boer revealed the maintainable architectural blueprint behind one of the financial sector's most resilient cloud-native estates.ING is a global financial institution that serves nearly 40 million customers across 100 countries. One of the bank’s main missions is to maintain the ING H
