New sovereign cloud updates let governments and high-security organisations run large AI models, productivity tools, and full infrastructure with zero internet connectivity. Here's why it matters.

Abu Dhabi's Technology Innovation Institute (TII) has launched a cloud service giving partners access to quantum processors it designed and fabricated in-house, putting the Gulf state in rare company globally.

Anthropic's Claude Code Security found over 500 real vulnerabilities that expert humans missed for decades. The market noticed — and punished an entire industry in a single session.
