How Interloom's $16.5M Bet Is Powering Persistent Memory for Enterprise AI Agents

Interloom has secured $16.5 million in seed funding for its enterprise operations platform, which captures expert knowledge and transforms it into a persistent memory layer for AI agents. The round was led by a group of strategic investors backing the company's vision to preserve institutional knowledge and make it continuously actionable for AI-driven workflows. By converting human expertise into structured, retrievable context, Interloom addresses a critical gap in enterprise AI deployments — the loss of tacit knowledge that typically resides with individual employees. The platform enables AI agents to operate with organizational memory, improving consistency, decision-making, and operational continuity across teams.

How Water Utilities Are Building Stronger Cybersecurity Through Collaboration

# When Data Flows, Cyber Threats Surface: How Water Utilities Are Rethinking Security Through Information Sharing Water utilities are discovering that open information exchange may be their most effective defense against cyber threats. The sector faces a distinct challenge: aging infrastructure, lean IT staffing, and cybersecurity budgets that rarely match the scale of modern threats leave many operators exposed. Unlike heavily digitized industries, water systems have historically relied on isolated operational technology — systems never designed with network connectivity or adversarial conditions in mind. As these environments increasingly interface with modern networks, the attack surface expands while institutional knowledge of how to defend it remains thin. The emerging answer is collective intelligence. By participating in sector-wide threat-sharing frameworks, utilities gain visibility into attack patterns, vulnerabilities, and defensive tactics that individual organizations — particularly smaller ones — could never develop independently. Early adopters report that shared indicators of compromise and peer-sourced incident data have accelerated response times and informed infrastructure hardening decisions far more effectively than siloed approaches. This shift also reframes cybersecurity from a cost center into an operational resilience strategy. For utilities managing critical public infrastructure on constrained budgets, pooled knowledge effectively multiplies limited security resources without requiring proportional capital investment. The model mirrors information-sharing practices already mature in finance and energy sectors, suggesting water has a proven playbook to draw from — and significant ground to gain by following it.

Global Crackdown Dismantles Major DDoS Cybercriminal Network

# Rewritten Summary DDoS attacks remain a persistent and evolving cybersecurity threat. In a sweeping coordinated operation, security authorities across North America dismantled an international hacker network responsible for large-scale distributed denial-of-service campaigns targeting critical infrastructure and commercial systems. The takedown highlights the growing sophistication of threat actors leveraging DDoS-for-hire platforms — commonly known as "booter" or "stresser" services — which lower the barrier to entry for cybercriminals by offering on-demand attack capabilities. These services enable even low-skill actors to launch volumetric attacks capable of overwhelming enterprise-grade defenses. The operation underscores a broader industry reality: despite decades of mitigation advancements, DDoS remains one of the most reliably disruptive vectors in a threat actor's arsenal. Network operators, security teams, and infrastructure providers continue to face escalating attack frequency and intensity, reinforcing the need for layered DDoS mitigation strategies, real-time traffic analysis, and cross-border threat intelligence sharing. For security professionals, this case serves as a timely reminder that DDoS is far from a solved problem — and that proactive defense postures, including scrubbing center integration and anycast-based mitigation, are essential components of a resilient network architecture.

What Developers Really Struggle With When Debugging Rust: 2026 Survey Results

# Rust Debugging Survey Launch: Help Shape the Future of Rust Tooling The Rust team is launching a dedicated Debugging Survey to systematically capture the real-world pain points developers face when debugging Rust code. Debugging challenges consistently rank among the most frustrating friction points in the Rust developer experience — and this survey aims to move the conversation from anecdote to actionable data. While debugging Rust is entirely achievable today, the tooling and workflows surrounding it leave meaningful room for improvement. By gathering direct input from the community, the team can prioritize the right problems, inform tooling decisions, and drive targeted enhancements that reflect what developers actually encounter in practice. If you write Rust — whether professionally or as a hobbyist — your perspective matters. Participation directly influences the roadmap for debugging tooling improvements across the ecosystem.
