No time to lose: Why post-quantum security for financial services must start now

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

Lights on! Real-time threat response with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security

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

Architecting for maintainability: Lessons from a global multicluster platform blueprint

Red Hat News - Wed, 07/29/2026 - 08:00
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

Starling: A New Linux Desktop Written In Swift, Own Wayland Compositor & Written With AI

Phoronix - Tue, 07/28/2026 - 23:50
There's yet another new open-source desktop option for Linux users in the era of new open-source projects largely written via AI/LLMs. Starling is this new project largely written via Claude and using the Swift programming language for the desktop while having its own Wayland compositor implemented in C. It also includes a built-in X11 server for handling X11 clients...
