## AI overview

This roundup covers a federal cybersecurity assessment of a major Microsoft cloud offering, the evolution of neuro-symbolic artificial intelligence, the Linux 7.0 kernel release, and the threat of AI-driven cybercrime to small businesses.

## Source excerpt

In late 2024, the federal government's cybersecurity evaluators rendered a troubling verdict on one of Microsoft's biggest cloud computing offerings. This report explores the evolution and current state of neuro- symbolic artificial intelligence, an approach that integrates neural network capabilities with symbolic reasoning. The Linux 7.0 kernel is now out, and it's one of the most impactful releases in years for networking professionals. The human-speed defense of small business is being obliterated by the machine-speed offense of AI-driven cybercrime. Today, what large companies treat as a manageable risk is a terminal expense for small enterprises, with 60% of small enterprises shutting down within six months of a major attack. The original frustration was familiar. You build on one provider, they change pricing, deprecate an API, or just aren't the right tool anymore, and migrating is brutal.
