The Follow 📰
[1] Strider, a platform designed to help companies, governments and research institutions protect intellectual property (IP), talent and supply chains from nation-state threats, has raised $45 million in its latest funding round. 
Strider Risk Intelligence leverages disparate datasets spanning industrial policy documents, international patent data, among other publicly available sources, to help companies identify which of their core technologies may be most at-risk from nation-state actors.
Feeding into this are "risk signals," which meshes thousands of primary data sources with "proprietary risk methodology" to spot high-risk activities, and give organizations data to act upon.
"Strider is the first startup to provide data insight to its customers to solve significant security gaps that have been exploited by nation-state actors for decades. Strider's solutions are game-changing and essential for any business functioning in today's increasingly competitive and complex global marketplace," said Costa Saab, CTO of Valor Equity Partners, a company invested in Strider. >> Read more.
[2] When it comes to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), the United States is moving backward, according to a report released earlier this year by the Rhodium Group, an independent research organization. 
The report states, "… progress in reducing U.S. GHG emissions was reversed in 2021, moving from 22.2% below 2005 levels in 2020 to only 17.4% in 2021, putting the U.S. even further off track from achieving its 2025 and 2030 climate targets."
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) looked at the trend and recently detailed newly proposed rules that would require companies — both foreign and domestic that are registered with the SEC — to report climate impact and emissions information. The proposal aims to bring standardization via policy to what has, until now, been largely optional.
Leaders of green technology companies say these requirements may not be the only incentive for companies to go green, but public demand for sustainably responsible enterprises might drive further adoption of green tech itself. >> Read more.
[3] Birds, fish, insects and other creatures have long been known to swarm or "murmur," — which means occasionally they will move and coordinate as a group, rather than as directed by a centralized leader.
This age-old practice throughout the nature of protection-by-confusion has given rise to the emerging concept of "swarm learning" — what some are touting as the next era in AI innovation.
"Swarm learning is an important movement in the AI market, with broad support across the public and private sectors, to combine the power of expanding data sets with the innovation and insights from organizations across the globe," said Justin Hotard, executive vice president and general manager of HPC and AI at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). >> Read more.

Big news! The Americans with Disabilities Act does in fact apply to virtual reality! I've said it before and I'll say it again: all tech must be designed for #accessibility. Thanks to @LFLegal for this update! #ADA #a11y #XR https://t.co/1WMgdQsZG1

Although 5G and IoT adoption shows significant operational advantages, many companies have not yet planned their adoption, and some do not recognize adoption as relevant.

From the VB Community 🗣️
The digital transformation accelerated by the pandemic highlighted the benefits of large-scale data sharing to boost innovation; however, data-sharing projects in enterprises are still struggling to emerge.
Organizations shouldn't be torn between the return on investment and the ability to ensure proper and necessary control when discussing data projects. Data control and compliance are key to mitigating risk across an increasingly complex cloud and hybrid landscape. Data sharing is crucial to ensure data is available to anyone who needs and should have access to it to drive business outcomes. >> Read more from VB Community contributor, Stanislas Marchand.
