Getting ahead of ‘harvest-now-decrypt-later’: Post-quantum cryptography planning
Opinion piece urges organizations to begin post-quantum cryptography migration now, citing harvest-now-decrypt-later risk and NIST deadlines.
CSO Online outlines why harvest-now-decrypt-later makes long-lived sensitive data a current risk even before quantum computers exist. It cites NIST IR 8547 timelines deprecating RSA-2048 and ECC P-256 by 2030 and removing them by 2035, finalized FIPS standards ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA, upcoming FN-DSA (FIPS 206), NSA requirements for national security systems from 2027, and UK NCSC phased guidance through 2035. The author recommends cryptographic discovery, crypto-agility, and prioritizing long-confidentiality data and TLS endpoints.

Synthesized builds Test Data Agent to validate AI agents with production-like data
Synthesized announced a Test Data Agent that provisions production-like data and system states to validate enterprise AI agents before deployment.
Synthesized unveiled its Test Data Agent, an agentic infrastructure capability that generates, masks, and subsets production-representative data for testing AI agents under realistic enterprise conditions. It integrates with agent development, evaluation, testing, and orchestration frameworks, with purpose-built support for complex SAP estates including finance, procurement, and supply-chain workflows and ECC-to-S/4HANA transformation programs. The product runs in on-premises, private-cloud, and hybrid environments and exposes REST APIs and CI/CD triggers for repeatable validation scenarios.

Thelio Mira AI Linux Workstation: 192 GB GPU Memory
System76 launches the Thelio Mira AI Linux workstation from $3,299 with dual NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 GPUs and 192 GB GPU memory for local AI workloads.
System76's Thelio Mira AI is a locally built (Denver, Colorado) Linux workstation for AI training, fine-tuning, and inference, starting at $3,299. Configurations go up to a 16-core AMD Ryzen 9000 CPU, 192 GB DDR5 RAM, and dual NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPUs delivering 192 GB of (ECC) GPU memory with liquid cooling, dual PCIe 5.0 x16 slots, and up to three M.2 NVMe drives. It ships with Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS or Ubuntu and is positioned as a way to avoid recurring cloud GPU costs.

Post-quantum cryptography adoption and the national security implications
Opinion analysis argues quantum computing favors nation-state espionage, leaving lagging post-quantum adoption at critical infrastructure exposed to harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.
A CSO Online opinion piece argues that the extreme cost and infrastructure requirements of quantum computers will concentrate cryptographically relevant quantum capability among nation-states and a few corporations, favoring espionage and economic espionage over criminal monetization. It highlights harvest-now-decrypt-later risk to long-lived secrets, expert warnings such as Filippo Valsorda's, and diverging CRQC timelines with Google suggesting possibly 2029. The piece predicts governments, banks, and targeted sectors will adopt PQC first while utilities, small hospitals, and local government lag, widening exploitable gaps in critical infrastructure reminiscent of Salt Typhoon-style access.

SAP Patches Critical Extended Passport Processing Vulnerability
SAP patches CVSS 10.0 flaw CVE-2026-44756 (OVERPASS) enabling unauthenticated RCE in S/4HANA and NetWeaver, plus three other criticals; no in-the-wild exploitation reported.
CVE-2026-44756 is a CVSS 10.0 memory corruption flaw in Extended Passport (EPP) deserialization, triggered when a user session opens across web, SAP GUI, and RFC vectors. Exploitation yields command execution as the SAP OS account, database credential and password hash recovery, session reading, and data or binary modification; affected products include S/4HANA, ERP/ECC, NetWeaver, Web Dispatcher, and BW/4HANA. Three other criticals were patched: CVE-2026-58240 (S4GET, missing authentication affecting all S/4HANA 2025 and earlier releases), CVE-2026-76969 (CAP credential disclosure), and CVE-2026-66768 (NetWeaver access control). Onapsis and SAP report no indicators of in-the-wild exploitation.

What your vendor says about PQC tells you if they are ready
Allot CTO outlines a telecom post-quantum migration playbook: inventory crypto, deploy hybrid ML-KEM on TLS first, and avoid missed interfaces.
Dr. Yaakov Stein, VP CTO of Allot, explains how mobile operators should triage post-quantum migration by data shelf life, protecting subscriber identity mappings, billing records, and call metadata that stay sensitive for years. He recommends starting with a comprehensive crypto inventory, then hybrid ML-KEM key exchange on TLS-protected 5G SBA and management interfaces, followed by IPsec backhaul and roaming links. Stein warns that migrations most often fail operationally through missed legacy interfaces such as SSH, RADIUS, or forgotten load balancers, and cites the early Kyber multi-packet TLS client hello issue as an example of middlebox incompatibility.
