SAD or Winter Blues?ASML FINAL DEADLINE: ROSEN, RECOGNIZED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages ASML Holding N.V. Investors ...Small businesses are taking up the digital world’s frontline of defense. CMMC is changing the game for 300,000 US companies, turning cybersecurity from a tedious must into a strategic business. It’s not just a paperwork exercise. The Department of Defense has created a blueprint for rock-solid digital protection. What if you turned your company into a secure fortress that stands apart from competitors? CMMC is more than just protecting data. It helps small businesses stand out in a constantly changing cyber threat landscape. It protects sensitive information while giving customers the confidence that you take security seriously. Here, you’ll learn the benefits of CMMC to small businesses. Benefits Of CMMC Standards 1. Access to Lucrative DoD Contracts Businesses working with the Department of Defense (DoD) must be CMMC certified. From December 16, 2024, contractors must demonstrate that they can protect sensitive information . In other words, they must meet certain security levels according to the data type they handle. This certification is one that you can’t afford to miss out on, as it is a huge business opportunity. According to the DoD, about 8,350 companies will require Level 2 certification, which requires professional security assessments. It's a sort of security passport on the government work front. Picture the DoD as a selective employer. They want to work with businesses that can keep their information safe. These standards help implement the best security for sensitive data. It’s massive in terms of financial upside. By 2025, the DoD budget for defense contracts could reach $800 billion. For small businesses, this means: Potential for a lot of revenue Opportunities to work on high-tech projects How to build a strong reputation in the defense industry A small cybersecurity firm that meets CMMC requirements could snag advanced defense technology contracts. It's not about short-term money but long-term business credibility and growth. CMMC certification is your business’s golden ticket to a world of government contract opportunities. 2. Enhanced Cybersecurity Posture Adoption of CMMC standards can help small businesses dramatically improve their cybersecurity. That means practicing with robust security tools like multi-factor authentication, which provides an extra layer of security on top of passwords. Advanced encryption and constant monitoring can help businesses defend themselves against data breaches and unauthorized access. As per the CMMC framework, companies must adhere to 110 security practices established by government standards. These are not just checkboxes but fundamental strategies to protect digital assets. A proactive approach to cybersecurity can significantly impact a company’s attack risk. Businesses conducting regular self-assessments can find and fix security weaknesses before hackers can access them. Cybercrime is a vast and growing problem. Damages from global cybercrime are expected to top $10.5 trillion. Driving more cultural awareness around cybersecurity and having solid incident response plans enables small businesses to stay in business even when threats occur. 3. Competitive Advantage CMMC certification is today like a golden badge of honor for small businesses. It lets potential clients know that you’re concerned about security and will do anything to protect sensitive information. Imagine being a defense contractor who can instantly stand out from competitors. Showing your CMMC certification in marketing material makes you more attractive to clients who value security deeply. This certification can be the key to winning crucial contracts. CMMC certification is like a business trust signal — a way to prove you’re a reliable, security-conscious partner. Data breaches are everywhere. In the first half of 2023, over 1,800 breaches exposed millions of records. CMMC certification is your way of saying to your clients, ‘We have your back.’ This certification protects information and creates long-term relationships. As more businesses realize the cybersecurity risks, they want to partner with those who can demonstrate their stringent security standards. If you are CMMC certified, you are not just a vendor but a trusted ally. 4. Cost-Effectiveness of Compliance For small businesses, CMMC 2.0 has good news. Companies can now do Level 1 self-assessments without the expense of a costly third-party review. This approach helps businesses: This approach means one thing. You start where you can and build strength over time. This journey isn’t only for small businesses. Several financial programs help reduce CMMC compliance costs. Small contractors can get grants from the Department of Defense to help them upgrade their cybersecurity. Such resources are a safety net, so businesses can meet security standards without burning a hole in the bank. The idea is to reduce the cost and accessibility of protection for every business. 5. Improved Risk Management Small businesses can easily manage online risks with CMMC. Moreover, this step-by-step approach allows organizations to create security policies that suit their needs. Businesses aren’t faced with a one-size-fits-all solution but can build a custom defense strategy that protects their digital landscape. It’s not just about following rules when investing in strong cybersecurity. That's about securing your business's future. By adopting CMMC standards, companies can: Like business insurance, cybersecurity helps you be prepared for unexpected risks and stay resilient and competitive. 6. Streamlined Compliance Process The CMMC compliance process is meant to help small businesses succeed without feeling overwhelmed. Organizations can adopt the strategy of meeting requirements individually instead of trying to meet them all at once. This allows businesses to breathe, adapt, and improve. Assessors and contractors will be trained and supported in the compliance journey. Like learning a complex skill, you don’t get it all overnight. MSPs can be game changers for small businesses navigating compliance. These experts provide specialized guidance to companies in implementing security controls and managing certification documentation. By partnering with an MSP, businesses can: This is especially helpful when you’re beginning preparation, and new requirements can seem daunting. MSPs are trusted solutions that guide businesses on a clear path to certification. Conclusion Cybersecurity is not a cost. It’s your business’s future. CMMC standards are your way of distinguishing yourself in the defense industry. These guidelines aren’t just data. They are opportunities. So, don’t wait. Take control now. Become CMMC certified and turn your small business into a digital fortress from a potential target. This is where you start to gain your competitive edge.

Israeli airstrikes hit a Yemen airport as a jet with hundreds onboard was landing, UN official says
Leaders Advocate for Respectful Memorial for Manmohan SinghSANTA CLARA, Calif. , Dec. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL), a leader in data infrastructure semiconductor solutions, today reported financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025. Net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $1.516 billion , $66 .0 million above the mid-point of the Company's guidance provided on August 29, 2024 . GAAP net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $(676.3) million, or $(0.78) per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 was $373 .0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share. Cash flow from operations for the third quarter was $536.3 million . "Marvell's fiscal third quarter 2025 revenue grew 19% sequentially, well above the mid-point of our guidance, driven by strong demand from AI. For the fourth quarter, we are forecasting another 19% sequential revenue growth at the midpoint of guidance, while year-over-year, we expect revenue growth to accelerate significantly to 26%, marking the beginning of a new era of growth for Marvell," said Matt Murphy , Marvell's Chairman and CEO. "The exceptional performance in the third quarter, and our strong forecast for the fourth quarter, are primarily driven by our custom AI silicon programs, which are now in volume production, further augmented by robust ongoing demand from cloud customers for our market-leading interconnect products. We look forward to a strong finish to this fiscal year and expect substantial momentum to continue in fiscal 2026." Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2025 Financial Outlook GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using basic weighted-average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net loss, and calculated using diluted weighted-average shares outstanding when there is a GAAP net income. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is calculated using diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.

A replay of the call can be accessed by dialing 1-888-660-6345 or 1-646-517-4150, passcode 47973# until Tuesday, December 10, 2024 . Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, restructuring and other related charges (including, but not limited to, asset impairment charges, recognition of future contractual obligations, employee severance costs, and facilities related charges), resolution of legal matters, and certain expenses and benefits that are driven primarily by discrete events that management does not consider to be directly related to Marvell's core business. Although Marvell excludes the amortization of all acquired intangible assets from these non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase price accounting arising from acquisitions, and that such amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Investors should note that the use of intangible assets contributed to Marvell's revenues earned during the periods presented and are expected to contribute to Marvell's future period revenues as well. Marvell uses a non-GAAP tax rate to compute the non-GAAP tax provision. This non-GAAP tax rate is based on Marvell's estimated annual GAAP income tax forecast, adjusted to account for items excluded from Marvell's non-GAAP income, as well as the effects of significant non-recurring and period specific tax items which vary in size and frequency, and excludes tax deductions and benefits from acquired tax loss and credit carryforwards and changes in valuation allowance on acquired deferred tax assets. Marvell's non-GAAP tax rate is determined on an annual basis and may be adjusted during the year to take into account events that may materially affect the non-GAAP tax rate such as tax law changes; acquisitions; significant changes in Marvell's geographic mix of revenue and expenses; or changes to Marvell's corporate structure. For the third quarter of fiscal 2025, a non-GAAP tax rate of 7.0% has been applied to the non-GAAP financial results. Marvell believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Marvell's financial condition and results of operations. While Marvell uses non-GAAP financial measures as a tool to enhance its understanding of certain aspects of its financial performance, Marvell does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Consistent with this approach, Marvell believes that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of its financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, allows for greater transparency in the review of its financial and operational performance. Externally, management believes that investors may find Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures useful in their assessment of Marvell's operating performance and the valuation of Marvell. Internally, Marvell's non-GAAP financial measures are used in the following areas: Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of Marvell's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. As a result, you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Marvell's results as reported under GAAP. The exclusion of the above items from our GAAP financial metrics does not necessarily mean that these costs are unusual or infrequent.

We are alert on LoC, will thwart infiltration attempts: BSF Says Militants Minimise Internal Communication, Pose Challenges Srinagar: Militants have cut down on communications amongst themselves which is posing a huge challenge to the security forces in tracking them down, a senior BSF officer said here on Saturday. Inspector General of BSF, Kashmir Frontier, Ashok Yadav, said this while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of BSF’s Raising Day celebrations at STC Humhama in the outskirts of the city. “Terrorists always try to strengthen their security protocol. They minimise communication which creates gaps in intelligence gathering. “But, all the agencies analyse whatever inputs they get to identify their hideouts and their supporters so as to neutralise them,” Yadav said. Asked whether the minimum communication amongst terrorists was posing as a challenge to track them, the IG BSF said, “It is a huge challenge,” but, he added, the security agencies will also implement new strategies to counter that. “The security and intelligence agencies are brainstorming to find ways to counter these new challenges,” he added. Yadav said there are continuous attempts of infiltration along the Line of Control (LoC) before the onset of the winter, but the security forces make their operational plans ahead to dominate the “vulnerable gaps”. This year too, Indian forces are dominating and their endeavour is to thwart any such attempts before the heavy snowfall, he said. Asked if there was information about the presence of terrorists at the launchpads across the LoC, the IG BSF said according to the intelligence inputs, there are people at the launchpads waiting to try to infiltrate “to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere here”. “But the way we are alert on the LoC and conduct area domination, we are very confident that we will thwart such attempts,” he asserted. To a question whether the political situation in Pakistan would have any impact here, the senior BSF official said whenever there are any changes like this in Pakistan, there “definitely is an impact here”. “But, I will not be able to comment broadly on it. It is the job of the intelligence agencies,” he remarked. (Agencies)Thermal imaging drone helps find elderly man with dementia lost in MalibuCambodia year-end review 2024: Making its presence felt

COA: PH jails need 550,000 sq m additional spaceThe City boss is enduring the worst run of his glittering managerial career after a six-game winless streak featuring five successive defeats and a calamitous 3-3 draw in a match his side had led 3-0. The 53-year-old, who has won 18 trophies since taking charge at the Etihad Stadium in 2016, signed a contract extension through to the summer of 2027 just over a week ago. Yet, despite his remarkable successes, he still considers himself vulnerable to the sack and has pleaded with the club to keep faith. “I don’t want to stay in the place if I feel like I’m a problem,” said the Spaniard, who watched in obvious frustration as City conceded three times in the last 15 minutes in a dramatic capitulation against Feyenoord in midweek. “I don’t want to stay here just because the contract is there. “My chairman knows it. I said to him, ‘Give me the chance to try come back’, and especially when everybody comes back (from injury) and see what happens. “After, if I’m not able to do it, we have to change because, of course, (the past) nine years are dead. “More than ever I ask to my hierarchy, give me the chance. “Will it be easy for me now? No. I have the feeling that still I have a job to do and I want to do it.” City have been hampered by a raft of injuries this term, most pertinently to midfield talisman and Ballon d’Or winner Rodri. The Euro 2024 winner is expected to miss the remainder of the season and his absence has been keenly felt over the past two months. Playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has also not started a match since September. The pressure continues to build with champions City facing a crucial trip to title rivals and Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday. Defeat would leave City trailing Arne Slot’s side by 11 points. “I don’t enjoy it at all, I don’t like it,” said Guardiola of his side’s current situation. “I sleep not as good as I slept when I won every game. “The sound, the smell, the perfume is not good enough right now. “But I’m the same person who won the four Premier Leagues in a row. I was happier because I ate better, lived better, but I was not thinking differently from who I am.” Guardiola is confident his side will not stop battling as they bid to get back on track. He said: “The people say, ‘Yeah, it’s the end of that’. Maybe, but we are in November. We will see what happens until the end. “What can you do? Cry for that? You don’t stay long – many, many years without fighting. That is what you try to look for, this is the best (way). “Why should we not believe? Why should it not happen with us?”
