Bridgy Fed , which is working to connect the social network Bluesky with the wider fediverse (aka the open social web), which includes sites like Mastodon and others, will be the first app incubated within a new nonprofit called A New Social . The organization, announced Tuesday, aims to bring together developers, researchers, startups, and industry leaders building infrastructure for the open social web, including those adopting protocols like Bluesky’s AT Protocol and ActivityPub , which powers Mastdon , Meta’s Threads , and the rest of the fediverse . The nonprofit itself was founded by CTO and Bridgy Fed founder Ryan Barrett along with engineering leader, now A New Social’s CEO and executive director, Anuj Ahooja . Ahooja has been actively involved in fediverse-related projects, having previously advised a service that was looking to fund the fediverse via paid subscriptions to premium feeds. That service, sub.club, has already wound down , citing a lack of funds. However, it’s expected there will be a lot of experimentation in this new era of social web development, as people try out different ideas, fail fast, and then move on to others. The idea to form a nonprofit around Barrett’s efforts with Bridgy Fed came about as the project grew from a personal side project to one attracting wider attention — and even contentious debate at times about how the technology should be built, he says. As he continued to talk to people about what he was building with Bridgy Fed, he saw a future where the work would become a more established infrastructure. That required some sort of organizational structure and additional voices offering input and direction. Barrett says he was open to the idea of raising outside capital from VCs, but admits he didn’t see a clear business for Bridgy Fed. “In terms of what it is as a product or a service, it’s in a funny position ... The business model was not clear to me,” he admits. So, instead of going the startup route, Barrett teamed up with Ahooja, who was already planning to organize a collection of utilities under a nonprofit structure with A New Social. Ahooja had seen a post from Barrett asking for help with Bridgy Fed and realized that they should talk. “It just kind of clicked in the early phases of our conversations,” Ajooja says. “I had an idea of not just what Bridgy Fed is today, but the implications of a combined network and what you can do with it. I think that really resonated with the way Ryan was thinking about it, as well.” A New Social is now recruiting a board of directors to guide its efforts. The organization will initially focus on Bridgy Fed and raising funds via other sources, like crowdfunding, grants, and investments from industry partners. (The latter conversations are already underway, we understand.) It will later work to identify other open social projects, like Bridgy Fed, which are working to build for the open social web or connect the different open ecosystems that are currently separate from one another. Later, that may include those building with different protocols like Farcaster, nostr, and others. The nonprofit will also work with existing leaders in the space, like Bluesky , Flipboard , Meta (which is integrating with ActivityPub via its app Threads ), and Mastodon to help identify these projects and their developers. “Before we even started this, we [made] sure that the platforms are on board, because if they’re not on board, then our existence doesn’t even matter,” Ahooja points out. “I think that’s one of the reasons an organization was important, so we’d have a process around all of these different platforms: getting them in the same room and having these conversations.” A New Social is not the only organization to focus on the open social web as of late. Recently, another new nonprofit, The Social Web Foundation (SWF), co-founded by the co-author of the ActivityPub protocol, Evan Prodromou, launched with a focus on expanding the fediverse and making the user experience even easier. A New Social plans to work with SWF and other organizations like the Independent Federated Trust & Safety ( IFTAS ) as it grows.Trending News Today Live Updates on December 18, 2024 : Meghan Markle, Prince Harry continue to lose staff, latest exodus sees three top executives quit Sentebale

LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James has been ruled out of the Los Angeles Lakers' game at Minnesota on Friday night due to soreness in his left foot. James will miss his second straight game when the Lakers return from a four-day break to face the Timberwolves, the Lakers announced Thursday. The top scorer in NBA history was away from the team this week with an excused absence attributed to “personal reasons,” coach JJ Redick said Wednesday. It's unclear whether James will even make the quick round trip to Minnesota before the Lakers' next game at home against Memphis on Sunday. James missed his first game of his record-tying 22nd NBA season when the Lakers beat Portland at home last Sunday. That absence also was attributed to his foot injury. James is averaging 23.0 points, 9.1 assists and 8.0 rebounds for the Lakers (13-11), who have lost seven of 10 after a 10-4 start. The Lakers upgraded starter Austin Reaves to questionable for the game at Minnesota after he missed LA's previous five games with a pelvic bruise. Anthony Davis is listed as probable with left plantar fasciitis. AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA

Biden calls for Assad to be 'held accountable'

Share Tweet Share Share Email ‘Hyperconnected’ might feel like an understatement. With the explosion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the normalization of remote work, and the adoption of multi-cloud infrastructures, the world seems to run more smoothly and more connected. However, for cybersecurity professionals, these changes create a labyrinth of permissions and vulnerabilities. Traditional “castle-and-moat” security models are crumbling, leaving APIs and other entry points exposed to exploitation. In response, Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) has emerged as the new gold standard for security. “What might have been dismissed as paranoia a decade ago tends to become the security standard,” says Ravi Kumar , Senior Site Reliability Engineer. With over ten years of experience in high-profile cybersecurity projects and a decorated track record—including recognition as Best Consultant and numerous spot awards at Microsoft —Kumar explains why ZTA is no longer optional, even for those who aren’t tech professionals. What is Zero Trust, and Why Does It Matter? Zero Trust is grounded in three key principles: assume breach , verify explicitly, and enforce least privilege. And unlike previous security models, Zero Trust assumes every network—whether it’s your home Wi-Fi or the coffee shop hotspot—is untrustworthy by default. Every user, device, and connection must be authenticated and authorized before gaining access. “And even then, they should be continuously monitored,” Kumar adds. “Every network is treated as unsafe, and just as hostile as the internet itself.” He explains that traditional network perimeters, such as firewalls, are now regularly supplemented—or even replaced—by security measures centered on individual entities and data. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides foundational guidelines for Zero Trust , advocating for robust identity governance and policy-based access controls. Drawing from his own experience, Kumar offers a practical analogy: “Just because someone is inside the bank doesn’t mean they should be able to walk into the vault.” Zero Trust in Action While the principles of Zero Trust are straightforward, their implementation varies widely across industries. Kumar highlights real-world examples from his career to illustrate the versatility of ZTA. Global financial systems, with their heavy reliance on digital infrastructure, have embraced ZTA as a necessity. Kumar recalls designing an air-gapped security operations center for a foreign bank, combining advanced threat analytics and encrypted communications to create an actively monitored security environment. “But financial systems need to balance security with convenience,” he explains, pointing to the common use of asynchronous and localized cryptographic keys to protect data in transit. In healthcare, breaches pose risks beyond privacy—lives are on the line. Kumar highlights his work implementing a Zero Trust framework for a medical facility serving one million patients, ensuring compliance with HIPAA while safeguarding the hospital’s various IoT devices and patient portals. Role-based access controls and continuous monitoring ensured that only authorized personnel could modify or view sensitive data. Given the growing frequency in ransomware attacks targeting healthcare , Kumar sees such measures as critical for safeguarding both patient information and operational continuity, especially during and after an attack. Education is another vulnerable sector. The pivot to remote learning during the pandemic exposed gaps previously overlooked by educational institutions. Kumar collaborated with the City Colleges of Chicago to replace legacy systems with a hybrid identity management solution, enabling secure, role-specific access for students and staff alike. “In education, the priority is often preventing manipulation rather than access,” he notes. As online learning expands, Kumar emphasizes the need for vigilance in protecting both academic integrity and sensitive information. Despite the widespread applicability, Kumar points out that proactive cybersecurity is still rare. “Too often, vulnerabilities aren’t taken seriously until there’s a breach.” What’s Ahead for Zero Trust Reflecting on recent developments, Kumar says Zero Trust must evolve alongside emerging technologies. AI, for example, is a double-edged sword. “AI-driven attacks like phishing and malware are growing more sophisticated,” Kumar says, “but defenders are countering with predictive containment and anomaly detection. It’s an arms race.” Kumar also sees Zero Trust principles extending beyond networking into physical supply chains and emerging technologies like quantum computing. Technologies like Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) and software-defined perimeters are expected to larger roles in creating highly localized, tamper-resistant security measures. “Regardless of how sophisticated the technology, the goal is to deconstruct security into its smallest, least manipulable components,” he explains. Still, Zero Trust isn’t foolproof. High implementation costs can put it out of reach for smaller organizations, and insider threats or social engineering can still bypass defenses. “It’s important to remember that Zero Trust is just one part of a broader security strategy,” Kumar cautions. “You’ll need to revisit your weakest links as your policy evolves.” Summing Up Kumar offers two simple rules for adopting Zero Trust : “Minimize risk, and maximize resilience. Every solution you implement should align with one of these goals,” he says. “It helps to think of Zero Trust more as a mindset than a rigid set of rules.” He encourages organizations to start with high-risk areas and scale up based on specific needs. Workforce training is equally important to overcome cultural resistance and ensure employees understand their role in the security ecosystem. In a world defined by connectivity, trust can no longer be assumed—it must be earned. “It’s the new reality of cybersecurity ,” Kumar concludes. “Zero Trust is here to stay.” Related Items: cybersecurity , Zero Trust , Zero Trust Architecture Share Tweet Share Share Email Recommended for you Strengthen Cyber Resilience: A Checklist for ITOps and SecOps Collaboration Preparing the Next Generation: Cyber Brain Academy’s Focus on Cybersecurity Professionals Sree Gopinath’s Advocacy for Digital Privacy: Defending Critical National Interests Comments
