ISO & GHG Protocol Unify Emissions Standards

Standards bodies ISO and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol have announced a strategic partnership to harmonize global standards for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions. This move aims to cut through the complexity and fragmentation in carbon accounting, making it easier for businesses and policymakers to align on climate action.

How AI Is Impacting Entry-Level Programming Jobs

Image
 The Times of India reports that US computer science graduates are finding their entry-level job prospects hindered by AI. Hiring processes increasingly favor AI tools over human candidates, drastically shrinking the availability of junior roles in tech. Meanwhile, Reuters highlights that entry-level coding positions have dropped by 50% since 2019, with experts predicting AI could eliminate half of all white-collar entry-level jobs within the next 1–5 years. Cursor: A New AI-Powered Coding Tool In a recent The Verge "Decoder" podcast episode, Anysphere’s Cursor —an AI-enhanced coding assistant—was showcased. The tool integrates with models from OpenAI and Anthropic, offering intelligent autocompletion and task delegation within development environments. Its CEO predicts that in the next 6–12 months, as much as 20–25% of a professional engineer’s work may be fully delegated to AI. Computer Science Degrees Still Matter, Says OpenAI’s Chairman Despite the surge in AI codi...

Microsoft Authentication and Active Directory Issues

Image
Recent updates to Windows 11 (24H2/25H2) and Windows Server 2025 have triggered authentication failures, particularly in systems using smart-card or certificate-based login methods. Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, which affects Active Directory synchronization and certain certificate providers. Administrators are advised to monitor authentication logs for cryptographic provider errors and await an official patch or workaround. Windows Server 2025 Servicing Stack and Cumulative Update An out-of-band cumulative update (KB5070773) and a Servicing Stack Update (KB5067360) were released on October 20, 2025 . These updates improve system reliability but have introduced replication issues in environments where the schema master FSMO role is hosted on Windows Server 2025. Microsoft recommends verifying replication status post-installation and reviewing the Windows Server 2025 Release Health dashboard for emerging reports.

Hybrid Encryption Frameworks Emerge

Image
 Researchers are developing hybrid encryption models that combine classical cryptographic methods with post-quantum algorithms and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). A notable example is a framework integrating EdDSA, ML-DSA-6x5, and QKD via Guardian, aiming to enhance data protection against quantum threats. AI-Driven Cryptography Management IBM has introduced the Guardium Cryptography Manager, an AI-powered platform designed to help enterprises manage encryption and prepare for quantum risks. The system offers centralized visibility and automated remediation for cryptographic keys across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.   Global Regulatory Movements The UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has reopened applications for its Post-Quantum Cryptography pilot scheme, encouraging businesses to prepare for the transition to quantum-resistant systems.  Windscribe VPN has updated its WireGuard protocol with advanced post-quantum protections, integrating traditional encryp...
