Part of the Spectral API Security Series Collaboration is key. Not only in software development. But when it comes to collaboration on Git repositories, the word “key” takes on a whole new meaning.

The global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has seen a deluge of clinical studies, with hundreds registered on clinicaltrials.gov. But a palpable sense of urgency and a lingering concern that “in critical situations, large randomized controlled trials are not always feasible or ethical” (1) perpetuate the perception that, when it comes to the rigors of science, crisis situations dem
CHINESE INFLUENCE OPERATIONS
Download the report (PDF file) English translation of the October 2021 edition 654 pages For a long time, it could be said that China, unlike Russia, sought to be loved rather than feared; that it wanted to seduce and project a positive image of itself in the world, or to inspire admiration. Today, Beijing has not renounced to seduce, nor its overall attractiveness and its ambition to shape intern

This is doubly true since there’s still m

Lukashenko’s regime “friendly” support reminds me of Czechoslovakia in 1968, when Soviet troops
