Ethiopia possesses abundant water resources and hydropower potential, yet less than 5 percent of irrigable land in the Blue Nile basin has been developed for food production, and more than 80 percent of Ethiopians lack access to electricity. Consequently, the Ethiopian government is pursuing plans to develop hydropower and irrigation along the Blue Nile River in an effort to tap into this underused potential.

Ethiopia’s agricultural sector, which is dominated by smallscale, mixed crop, and livestock farming, is the mainstay of the country’s economy. It constitutes more than half the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP), generates more than 85 percent of the foreign exchange earnings, and employs about 80 percent of the population. Ethiopia’s dependence on agriculture makes the country particularly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change on crop and livestock production.

Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced that it has been ranked first for 2023 worldwide market share for device vulnerability management in the IDC Worldwide Device Vulnerability Management Market Shares (doc #US51417424, July 2024) report. This is the sixth consecutive year Tenable has been ranked first for market share.

According to the IDC market share report, Tenable is ranked first in global 2023 market share and revenue. Tenable credits its success to its strategic approach to risk management, which includes a suite of industry-leading exposure management solutions that expose and close security gaps, safeguarding business value, reputation and trust. The Tenable One Exposure Management Platform, the world’s only AI-powered exposure management platform, radically unifies security visibility, insight and action across the modern attack surface – IT, cloud, OT and IoT, web apps and identity systems.

According to the IDC market share report, “The top 3 device vulnerability management vendors remained the same in 2023 as previous years, with Tenable once again being the top vendor.”

The report highlighted Tenable’s use of generative AI, noting, “ExposureAI, available as part of the Tenable One platform, provides GenAI-based capabilities that include natural language search queries, attack path and asset exposure summaries, mitigation guidance suggestions, and a bot assistant to ask specific questions about attack path results.”

Tenable’s latest innovations in the vulnerability management market – Vulnerability Intelligence and Exposure Response – were also highlighted in the report, stating, “Vulnerability Intelligence provides dynamic vulnerability information collected from multiple data sources and vetted by Tenable researchers, while Exposure Response enables security teams to create campaigns based on risk posture trends so remediation progress can be monitored internally.”

The report also spotlighted the Tenable Assure Partner Program and MDR partnerships, noting, “Tenable has made more of a strategic effort to recruit managed security service providers (SPs) and improve the onboarding experience for them, as well as their customers. Managed detection and response (MDR) providers have been adding proactive exposure management because it helps shrink the customer attack surface, helping them provide better outcomes. Sophos and Coalfire are recently announced partners adding managed exposure management services to their MDR and pen testing services, respectively.”

“At Tenable, we build products for a cloud-first, platform centric world, meeting customers' evolving risk management needs,” said Shai Morag, chief product officer, Tenable. “We leverage cutting edge technology, innovating across our portfolio to help customers know, expose and close priority security gaps that put businesses at risk.” 

"The device vulnerability management market is characterized by a focus on broader exposure management, with a number of acquisitions to round out exposure management portfolios," said Michelle Abraham, senior research director, Security and Trust at IDC. "Vendors are advised to enhance their offerings with additional security signals and automated remediation workflows to stay competitive in this evolving landscape."

Two-time Spur Award nominee Cameron Judd spins Westerns that lasso listeners' attention. In this inspiring story of self-sacrifice, menacing dangers spur 17-year-old Pennington Malone to grow up quickly. With his father in Leavenworth Prison, Penn travels to Dodge City packing his dad's loaded sixgun.

But when Penn learns that three shadowy riders are trailing him-and framing him for murders they commited-he needs all the help he can get.

A security researcher posted private chat messages between members of the Conti ransomware group, providing valuable insight into which vulnerabilities are leveraged by the group and affiliates in their cyber attacks. The Conti ransomware group has earned a reported $180 million in profits by leasing their Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) model to cripple cyber-infrastructure in vulnerable organizations. Tenable has published a variety of content to assist customers with identifying the vulnerabilities leveraged by the Conti ransomware group and its affiliates.

Conti and their affiliates have had a particularly devastating impact on healthcare services, including at least 16 U.S. health and emergency networks. Conti attacked Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE), demanding a $20 million dollar ransom, which the HSE refused to pay, opting instead to shut down IT services for mitigation efforts.

Tenable’s 2021 Threat Landscape Retrospective report revealed that 24.7% of healthcare data breaches were the result of ransomware attacks, and ransomware itself was responsible for 38% of all breaches last year. The leaked data revealed that Conti and its affiliates have been exploiting a number of vulnerabilities. There are also reports that Conti and its affiliates have targeted vulnerabilities in the Fortinet FortiOS found in Fortinet’s SSL VPN devices to gain initial access to target environments. 

Organizations are often breached from legacy vulnerabilities present in the IT infrastructure of small companies they have recently acquired. The analysis of the ContiLeaks data identifies the vulnerabilities that are being actively exploited, enabling security managers to prioritize mitigation. 

The Security Response Team (SRT) of Tenable Research has analyzed the ContiLeaks data to ensure customers are fully informed of their vulnerability to Conti RaaS attacks. The SRT also provides breakdowns for the latest vulnerabilities in the Tenable Blog. Tenable Research has released over 165,000 plugins and leads the industry on CVE coverage. Tenable's SRT team continuously works to help organizations prioritize and create remediation plans for the new threats, which often leave very little time for reflection.

This report contains the following chapters:

Executive Summary Chapter - Contains information from the ContiLeaks Dashboard that uses the CVE and Plugin Family filters to display counts of the vulnerabilities and assets that have been affected by ContiLeaks.

Linux Chapter - Contains charts and tables that group together ContiLeaks related CVEs for all Linux Operating Systems and includes an IP Detail for the hosts identified.

Windows Chapter - Contains charts and tables that group together ContiLeaks related CVEs for all Windows Operating Systems and includes an IP Detail for the hosts identified.

Other Chapter - Contains charts and tables that group together ContiLeaks related CVEs for all "Other" Operating Systems and includes an IP Detail for the hosts identified.

Le changement climatique constitue une menace croissante pour nos systèmes alimentaires, dont les implications sont graves pour la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle, les moyens de subsistance et le bien-être général, en particulier pour les personnes pauvres et vulnérables du monde entier. Une action urgente contre le changement climatique est attendue à l’échelle mondiale – à la fois pour réaliser les importantes réductions d’émissions requises pour limiter le réchauffement climatique et pour accroître les capacités d’adaptation et la résilience.

Les modèles d’équilibre général calculable (MEGC), largement admis dans la littérature et utilisés comme outils d’analyse d’impacts potentiels de politiques économiques, sont alimentés par des données provenant de la Matrice de Comptabilité Sociale (MCS). Celle-ci appartient à la grande famille des comptes nationaux, représentant l’ensemble des interrelations entre les activités, les institutions d’une économie.

Cette note propose un résumé des politiques, stratégies et plans d’action ayant trait à la nutrition (désignés ici sous le terme de « politiques ») en Afrique de l’Ouest.

En 2022, le monde a subi des crises multiples. Les perturbations des systèmes alimentaires dues à la longue pandémie de COVID-19, des catastrophes naturelles majeures, des troubles civils, l’instabilité politique et les impacts croissants du changement climatique ont persisté, tandis qe l’inflation et la guerre entre la Russie et l’Ukraine ont exacerbé la crise alimentaire mondiale et la crise des engrais.

By what has been shown in previous talks, we have seen that we can show coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a realizable matroid can be realized via specific computations in the Chow ring of its wonderful compactification. In this talk, we will introduce the notion of Poincare duality algebras, which are graded algebras with a degree function giving an isomorphism from the top degree to the base field that induces a non-degenerate pairing between complementary degrees of the algebra. Furthermore, we will introduce a notion of hard Lefschetz and Hodge-Riemann relations for such algebras. When a Poincare duality algebra satisfies a certain version of these properties, we can show that the log-concavity of its "volume polynomial" is equivalent to the eigenvalues of a symmetric form on the algebra arising from the Hodge-Riemann relations. Because the Hodge-Riemann relations in appropriate degree imply the log-concavity of the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of the matroid, this framework gives us a program to establish the log-concavity result. Throughout this talk, I will attempt to provide intuition from the case of the Chow rings of smooth projective varieties.

Do you work more for more money? Or work less for more time? For some, this is the ultimate economic choice.

Every single worker in the European Union is guaranteed four weeks of paid vacation. No matter how long they've been at a company. No matter how low paying the job is. Vacation is a right.

In fact, all but one of the richest countries in the world guarantees paid vacation, except: the U.S.

According to a 2019 study, people in Japan get 10 paid vacation days and 15 paid holidays; in Australia it's 20 paid vacation days and 8 paid holidays; and in Spain it's 25 paid vacation days and 14 paid holidays.

And it's not just a rich country thing: Mexico, Afghanistan, Thailand, Tanzania - they all guarantee paid vacation from work, at least in the formal job sector.

In the U.S: Zero paid vacation days and zero paid holidays. So, why is the United States the outlier? We go to several labor economists and historians, to find out what makes Americans different from Europeans. It's a winding journey, so maybe put in a request for some paid time off and take a listen!

Some of the most influential and beloved novels of the last few years have been about money, finance, and the global economy. Some overtly so, others more subtly. It got to the point where we just had to call up the authors to find out more: What brought them into this world? What did they learn? How were they thinking about economics when they wrote these beautiful books?

Today on the show: we get to the bottom of it. We talk to three bestselling contemporary novelists — Min Jin Lee (Pachinko and Free Food for Millionaires), Emily St. John Mandel (Station Eleven, The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility), and Hernan Diaz (Trust, In the Distance) – about how the hidden forces of economics and money have shaped their works.
