A global report by Kaspersky Security Services, Anatomy of a Cyber World, shows that the government sector has emerged as the most-targeted sector for the 2nd consecutive year, accounting for 19% of all high-severity incidents in 2025. The industrial sector closely followed at 17%, while the IT sector rose to third place with 15%, displacing finance from the top three targeted industries.  Anatomy of a Cyber World draws on incident statistics from Kaspersky tools and services. It sheds light on the most prevalent attacker tactics, techniques and tools, as well as the characteristics of detected incidents and their distribution across regions and industry sectors.   In addition to revealing that the government bodies continued to be the most targeted sector in 2025, the research found that advanced persistent threats (APTs) were the most common incident type, accounting for 33.3% of incidents. This trend highlights the increasing sophistication of adversaries who persistently ...

Japfa Food Indonesia, a subsidiary of Japfa Group, a pan-Asian industrial agri-food company, is upgrading its supply chain planning with RELEX's unified planning platform for retailers and manufacturers. Japfa Food Indonesia has already gone live with RELEX across nine plants in primary processing and is rolling out the solution to six additional plants by June 2026. With a strong presence across the Indonesian livestock and protein industry, Japfa Food Indonesia manages more than 2,000 SKUs across 15 primary processing plants and 23 distribution centres, serving one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in the region. As demand for protein continues to rise, Japfa Food Indonesia identified the need to replace spreadsheet-based planning processes with a more integrated and scalable approach. With RELEX, Japfa Food Indonesia is implementing demand planning, master planning, distribution planning, and inventory planning within a unified platform. The solution supports more accurat...

Google and NVIDIA have collaborated to optimise Gemma 4 for NVIDIA GPUs. The latest additions to the Gemma 4 family of open models— spanning E2B, E4B, 26B and 31B variants — are designed for efficient deployment from edge devices to high-performance GPUs*.  Running open models like the Gemma 4 family on NVIDIA GPUs achieves optimal performance because NVIDIA Tensor Cores accelerate AI inference workloads to deliver higher throughput and lower latency for local execution. Plus, the CUDA software stack ensures broad compatibility across leading frameworks and tools, enabling new models to run efficiently from day one.  This combination allows open models like Gemma 4 to scale across a wide range of systems — from Jetson Orin Nano at the edge to RTX PCs, workstations and DGX Spark — without requiring extensive optimisation.  The new generation of compact models supports a range of tasks, including:  - Reasoning: Strong performance on complex problem-solving ta...
