Birmingham Airport Chaos Highlights Dire Need for Improved Security

MarketJar

Birmingham Airport faced chaos last week as travelers encountered significant delays and some missed flights due to a 'technical issue' at security during peak departure times. 1 Reports of distress emerged, with one individual collapsing amid the turmoil, leading to descriptions of the situation as a "disaster" and an "absolute shambles." The airport acknowledged that the security problem worsened the already busy schedule, severely impacting operations. Travelers took to social media to express frustration and disappointment. One person described queuing for two hours, only to miss their flight as Ryanair departed on time with a half-empty plane. Roger Burton, a local from Redditch, missed his flight despite arriving three hours early, highlighting the challenges faced by elderly passengers. Another passenger noted the sluggish queues, waiting for 80 others trapped in the winding lines. One traveler criticized the airport's handling as "absolute shocking incompetence." Criticism persisted as passengers observed the stark contrast between the crowded security area and the empty post-security zone, pointing out the airport's inability to efficiently handle passenger volume. The spokesperson for Birmingham Airport expressed regret over the inconvenience caused by the technical issue, apologizing for the subpar service. Ongoing construction and the transition to a new security area, contributed to passenger challenges. The chaos at Birmingham Airport closely follows a shocking report from the US Transportation Security Administration. The report reveals at least 300 instances of people bypassing parts of airport security since March 2023, 2 prompting the administration to continue its efforts to bolster security, which includes a $3.8 million contract with AI security company Liberty Defense Holdings (TSXV:SCAN) (OTCQB:LDDFF) for its advanced security solutions that can detect concealed weapons in high-traffic areas like airports, stadiums, and schools. Liberty Defense offers multi-technology security solutions for concealed weapons detection in high-volume foot traffic areas and locations requiring enhanced security, such as airports, stadiums, and schools. The company’s HEXWAVE product, licensed from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), provides discrete, modular, and scalable protection with layered, stand-off detection capability for metallic and non-metallic weapons. Liberty has successfully deployed HEXWAVE across various market verticals, including aviation, courthouses, national labs, prisons, and government facilities. Liberty Defense Expands HEXWAVE Deployment to a Major Airport in Canada In April 2024, Liberty Defense ’s HEXWAVE™ product received formal equipment authorization approval from Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED). This milestone signifies a significant achievement for Liberty 's ultra-wideband technology. With this certification, the company can deploy HEXWAVE for commercial and government applications across Canada. On May 6, Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. (TSXV:SCAN)(OTCQB:LDDFF) announced the shipment of multiple commercial HEXWAVE units to a major airport in Canada. HEXWAVE surpasses legacy security systems by detecting a wide array of materials, including metal and non-metal threats, liquids, powders, plastic explosives, and 3D-printed ghost guns. Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense, explained the technology behind HEXWAVE, which uses millimeter wave, advanced 3D imaging, and AI for comprehensive screening. Frain highlighted HEXWAVE's efficiency in processing high volumes of passengers without requiring them to remove everyday items like wallets. The system's mobility enables the airport to swiftly deploy and relocate HEXWAVE units as needed, both indoors and outdoors. Liberty Defense is also expanding its international base, recently shipping commercial units of its HEXWAVE™ system to Amsterdam in the Netherlands and Subic Bay Airport in the Philippines.

Enkrypt AI Unveils LLM Safety Leaderboard to Enable Enterprises to Adopt Generative AI Safely and Responsibly

Enkrypt AI

The rapid adoption of Generative AI, including in regulated settings, has continued to make the security and safety of Large Language Models (LLMs) a key concern amongst cybersecurity professionals. Policy-makers and security professionals around the world continue to seek new technology to help mitigate the risks of Generative AI technologies. For example; just days ago, the US Government’s Department of Homeland Security appointed a board to advise on the role of artificial intelligence on critical infrastructure. Sahil Agarwal, CEO of Enkrypt AI commented: “LLMs are increasingly seen as potential back-office powerhouses for enterprises, processing data and enabling faster front-office decision-making. Consider a fintech where an LLM-powered application is key in rejecting a loan application from a person of color without clear explanation. This raises concerns about implicit biases, as LLMs often reflect societal inequities present in their training data sourced from the internet. Moreover, cases like Google's LLM appearing 'woke' highlight the risks of overcorrecting these biases. How safe is Anthropic’s Claude3 Model? Is Cohere’s Command R+ LLM really ready for enterprise use? These scenarios underscore the urgent need for careful checks on these models to prevent exacerbating societal inequities and causing harm.” At the highly anticipated RSA conference, Enkrypt AI, the leader in securing Generative AI technologies, will introduce its latest innovation, the LLM Safety Leaderboard. This product is part of Enkrypt AI's comprehensive Sentry suite, designed to empower enterprises to deploy LLMs with heightened security and peace of mind. The LLM Safety Leaderboard will provide essential insights into the vulnerabilities and hallucination risks of various LLMs, enabling technology teams to make informed decisions about which models best suit their specific needs. This tool aims to educate and raise awareness about the relative strengths and potential weaknesses of different LLMs, so AI engineers can make informed decisions about the unique strengths of each. Highlights of the LLM Safety Leaderboard include: Comprehensive Vulnerability Insights which delivers detailed evaluations of potential security risks, including data leakage, privacy breaches, and susceptibility to cyber-attacks. Ethical and Compliance Risk Assessment which tests for biases, toxicity, and compliance with ethical standards and regulatory requirements, ensuring models align with enterprise and brand values. The LLM Safety Leaderboard is a new component of Enkrypt’s Sentry suite, which includes Sentry Red Team, Sentry Guardrails, and Sentry Compliance. This suite offers a holistic approach to managing and securing LLMs, aligning with the strictest standards for privacy, security, and compliance within the enterprise environment. The announcement comes as a new preprint paper by Enkrypt AI, “ Increased LLM Vulnerabilities from Fine-tuning and Quantization ”, has found that common practices used to implement LLMs in business settings, namely fine-tuning and quantization, lead to increased risk of security vulnerabilities namely from jailbreaking. However, implementing external guardrails platforms like Enkrypt’s Sentry Guardrails solution was successful in mitigating such vulnerabilities. On one model, Enkrypt’s Sentry Guardrails provided a 9x reduction in vulnerability to jailbreaking attacks. Sahil Agarwal, CEO of Enkrypt AI said: “With the launch of the LLM Safety Leaderboard, we are enhancing our commitment to enabling the safe, secure, and responsible use of generative AI in the enterprise. This tool will serve as a critical resource for organizations aiming to navigate the complexities of AI implementation with full confidence in their security posture.” Prashanth Harshangi, CTO of Enkrypt AI, added: “In the last two quarters, our team has been solely focused on generative AI safety and making rapid progress with our Sentry Suite. Comprising three key components - Sentry Red Team, Sentry Guardrails, and Sentry Compliance. With the LLM Safety Leaderboard, we are proud to offer a product that not only identifies potential risks but also empowers businesses to proactively manage and mitigate these challenges, enabling informed and faster decision making.” About Enkrypt AI Enkrypt AI, co-founded by Yale PhDs Sahil Agarwal and Prashanth Harshangi, is pioneering the safe adoption of Generative AI within enterprises. With an innovative all-in-one platform, Enkrypt AI is revolutionizing how Large Language Models (LLMs) are integrated and managed, addressing critical needs for reliability, security, data privacy, and compliance in a unified solution. Used by mid to large-sized enterprises in industries including finance and life sciences, Enkrypt AI's Sentry offers a proactive approach to AI security, fostering trust and efficiency in AI implementations from chatbots to automated reporting. Enkrypt AI sits between users and AI models, to offer a variety of safety and security layers. Enkrypt AI stands apart by merging threat detection, privacy, and compliance into a comprehensive toolkit, poised to become the definitive Enterprise Generative AI platform for an evolving regulatory landscape.

Airship AI Awarded Contract With DOJ Agency, Marking Second Big Government Contract Win Since December IPO

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Airship AI Holdings (NASDAQ: AISP), the Redmond, Washington, artificial intelligence company helping U.S. Homeland Security agencies monitor the nation’s border, announced that it won a large contract with an agency within the Department of Justice to support emerging public safety and investigative requirements. The DOJ will use Airship AI’s Acropolis Enterprise Video and Data Management Platform which is capable of gleaning actionable information in real-time from several sources including body cams, surveillance cameras, drones and CCTV, among others. Airship AI said it won the sole-source contract with the DOJ agency because it was the only company bidding on it capable of providing the necessary technology. Airship AI’ s Acropolis backend enterprise management system will enable the agency to manage devices and sensors across the entire digital ecosystem – directly to the cloud or through Airship AI’s Outpost AI Edge Appliance. Built on the NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) Jetson platform, Outpost AI provides advanced analytic processing at the edge, along with highly efficient video and metadata encoding and encryption over various RF and network backhauls back to the cloud. The management system, which can be deployed in specialized law enforcement agencies, has been engineered to meet law enforcement-specific needs including workflow for preserving evidence, advanced auditing capabilities, virtualized server instances and individualized cases for adaptive compartmentalization of sensitive data and video. Making Inroads The contract marks the first agency within the DOJ to deploy Acropolis within the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program or FedRAMP, the U.S. federal government’s compliance program designed to create a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and monitoring of cloud applications and services across all government agencies. Getting an in with the DOJ should position the company for future contracts, Airship AI said. “This award represents an expansion of a pilot program started with the agency in 2023, validating our ability to meet demanding agency operational and security requirements,” Paul Allen, President of Airship AI, said in a press release. “Equally as exciting is this project represents the second U.S. Government agency to deploy our Acropolis platform in a FedRAMP-certified cloud environment.” Airship AI’s President noted the company has a strong pipeline for 2024. When news of the award broke in early March, shares of Airship AI soared. Year-to-date the stock is up over 300% as of this writing. Big Addressable Market As it stands, surveillance can be extremely complex, with law enforcement agencies and others in surveillance tasked with managing disparate applications, equipment and permissions while at the same time managing various access levels across multiple departments. Airship AI’s platform pulls it all together – helping law enforcement, intelligence agencies and companies make informed decisions in real time. Its tailored software operating platform opens up customers' access to data from cameras and sensors for decisive and accurate responses using data that’s enhanced by AI. Airship AI customers can use their existing hardware – saving them time and money getting up and running. Airship AI is creating a niche in an area where organizations can get bogged down in the exacting and evolving technical difficulty of turning dynamic data into intelligence in real time. Managing, analyzing and gleaming actionable information from an array of sources can be difficult and time-consuming. The company said there is a big demand for its technology and pegs the addressable market at $7 billion for edge AI software and hardware. Airship AI said the market is projected to grow to over $40 billion by 2030. The company’s revenue growth seems to back up the demand estimate. For the full fiscal year 2023, Airship AI earned revenues of $12.3 million on gross profits of $5.8 million. The company entered 2024 with about $140 million in the pipeline comprised largely of U.S. government customers and new growth opportunities within commercial sectors. For all of 2024, Airship AI expects triple-digit revenue growth and positive cash flow. The Second Major Contract Win For Airship AI The deal with the DOJ agency marks the second big contract awarded to Airship AI since it went public in late December via a Special Purpose Acquisition Corp. or SPAC deal with BYTE Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: BYTS). As part of that win, Airship AI provided solutions based on its AI Outpost product to agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to support real-time intelligence collection along the U.S. borders. The $10.9 million contract was first inked in September. Airship AI’s Outpost solution is the company’s edge product, which consists of an edge appliance that provides local high-definition recording with user-defined low-bit rate video stream encoding and on-board edge analytic capabilities – providing the Department of Homeland Security with advanced object detection and recognition capabilities. Airship’s platform is already being used by federal, state and local law agencies as well as the private sector, including FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) and Home Depot Inc. (NYSE: HD). Airship AI is making inroads into government agencies with its advanced monitoring and surveillance platforms. With two deals under its belt and a robust pipeline for 2024 and beyond, the company is optimistic it will further make its mark, helping federal, state and local governments step up enforcement and monitoring to make the world a safer place for everyone.

Bitget Wallet Integrates Babylon Testnet to Simplify Bitcoin Staking

Bitget

Bitget Wallet, one of the largest Web3 wallets and full-stack DeFi platforms, has officially integrated support for the Babylon Testnet, a pioneering Bitcoin staking protocol. Following this development, users will be able to search for and connect to the Babylon Testet from the app and browser extension versions of Bitget Wallet, streamlining the Bitcoin staking process for users. This integration will allow for seamless management of tokens and asset transfers and secure interactions with decentralized applications (DApps). To connect to the Babylon Testnet, users need only to search for and add the network from their Bitget Wallet homepage. The Babylon Testnet represents the first initiative to implement trustless Bitcoin staking, introducing significant utility to Bitcoin beyond its conventional roles as a store of value and payment method. This testnet is integral to Babylon’s broader mission of securing Proof-of-Stake (PoS) systems using Bitcoin. Participants in the Babylon Testnet can opt to either become validators and finality providers, or engage in various other roles to help maintain and secure the network. The testnet is designed to test these functionalities in a real-world scenario but without risking actual Bitcoin, as it operates on the Bitcoin Signet, a test network that simulates actual Bitcoin transactions. This integration directly addresses common challenges cryptocurrency enthusiasts face, such as the complexity of managing different blockchain environments and the often inconvenient process of engaging with testnets. These complexities often necessitate the usage of multiple wallets and interfaces, each with their own setup and security protocols, as well as the prerequisite for users to understand network-specific configurations and token standards to interact with and manage assets across different blockchains effectively. Bitget Wallet’s integration eliminates these barriers by offering a seamless, one-click solution to access and manage testnet activities directly from the wallet interface. Additionally, this update allows for more efficient asset management and safer interaction with DApps, empowering users to transfer assets effortlessly and engage with the decentralized ecosystem with enhanced security. Such functionalities are crucial as they provide the stability and reliability needed for digital asset transactions and integrations. The integration of the Babylon Testnet is the latest in a series of strategic moves by Bitget Wallet to solidify its position as a leader in the Web3 space. Earlier this year, Bitget Wallet surpassed MetaMask in transaction volume with a record 1.4 million Swap transactions in late March 2024. The platform has since forged collaborations with over 70 Web3 projects, emphasizing a commitment to mutual growth and ecosystem enhancement. These partnerships are aimed at weaving a tighter network of services and support around the Bitget community, providing users with access to a wide range of Web3 functionalities directly from their crypto wallet. On top of this, Bitget Wallet has also announced the impending launch of its official platform token, BWB, to bolster its future roadmap and reward its users: “ We are introducing the BWB token, Bitget Wallet’s native ecosystem token, to attract new users and foster collaborations within our ecosystem,” says Alvin Kan, COO at Bitget Wallet. “ The latest integration of the Babylon Testnet is a testament to this commitment, as we believe that collaborations just like this will further amplify our reach and impact on the global stage.” This latest development with Babylon forms another step in Bitget Wallet’s goal towards providing users with convenient and robust access to the world of Web3. Where previously less accessible to users, Web3 services such as Bitcoin staking are now made easier through this collaboration, underscoring the wallet’s efforts in realizing the potential of Web3 for its users. About Bitget Wallet Bitget Wallet is Asia's largest and a leading global Web3 wallet with over 20 million users worldwide. It offers a comprehensive range of features, including asset management, intelligent market data, swap trading, launchpad, inscribing, and DApp browsing. Currently, it supports more than 100 major blockchains, hundreds of EVM-compatible chains, and over 250,000 cryptocurrencies. Bitget Wallet enhances liquidity by aggregating it across hundreds of top DEXs and cross-chain bridges, facilitating seamless trading on nearly 50 blockchains.

Warren Buffett Sued by Shareholder Who Was Arrested at 2023 Shareholders’ Meeting for Raising Bill Gates/Jeffrey Epstein Issue

NLPC

National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) has filed a federal lawsuit in Omaha against Berkshire Hathaway and its Chairman, Warren Buffett. The lawsuit, seeking monetary damages, stems from actions taken by the company during last year's shareholders’ meeting where NLPC Chairman Peter Flaherty raised the issue of the reputational risk to the company posed by Buffett holding the posts of both Chairman and CEO. Flaherty cited Buffett’s strong public identification with Bill Gates, and Gates relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Flaherty had his microphone cut, was ejected from the arena and was arrested. Charges against Flaherty were quickly dropped by the local prosecutor. Flaherty is scheduled again to speak tomorrow at the Berkshire shareholder’s meeting in support of NLPC's proposal that Berkshire disclose the risks of its investments in China.

Hornet Corporation Announces New Investment Opportunities With Innovation and Excellence in Oil & Gas Sector.

Hornet Corporation

Hornet Corporation, an organization deeply rooted in the dynamic world of oil and gas that fervently champions innovation, sustainability, and excellence at every turn of its operations, announces new opportunities in the industry for accredited investors. Ronald “Ron” C. Filer, a seasoned industry veteran and a proud resident of Hendersonville, Tennessee, brings over 20 years of invaluable experience in the energy sector to his role as the Chief Operating Officer at Hornet Corporation. A dedicated family man passionate about the oil industry, Filer is deeply resolute in guiding Hornet Corporation's strategic initiatives and investment ventures. Filer is well-known for his commitment to integrity and building strong partnerships as he fuels Hornet Corporation's efforts to remain a cornerstone of energy development in the Appalachian Basin. Investing in oil drilling projects entails inherent risks, such as dry holes. Filer and Hornet Corporation don't shy away from this as they acknowledge this reality, exclusively partnering with accredited investors who understand the industry complexities while recognizing the unique potential opportunity for significant revenue with substantial tax advantages associated with the oil and gas industry. Filer's mission is reflected in his approach to working with each accredited investor. He provides every qualified accredited investor with the knowledge and ethical insights needed to help make informed decisions while diversifying their portfolio in a way that works best for them. Through these exclusive live webinar events, Flier will provide streamlined information to accredited investors about Hornet's investment opportunities. Investing in oil and gas offers investors the potential for attractive revenue(s) driven by factors such as global demand and technological advancements in extraction methods. As economies continue to grow, the demand for petroleum products seems to increase significantly, including the use of oil directly and indirectly in producing alternative energy sources. This steady demand can translate into recurring revenue for sophisticated, accredited investors through partnering with companies like Hornet Corporation in its oil and gas drilling opportunities. Moreover, investing in oil and gas can offer significant tax advantages. One of the most prominent tax benefits is the ability to deduct intangible drilling costs (IDCs). These costs include expenses related to drilling, such as labor, fuel, and supplies. The IRS Tax Code allows investors to deduct a significant portion of these costs in the year they are incurred, providing immediate tax relief and potentially reducing taxable income. Filer points out that these breaks are frequently unknown to many investors, including the investor's tax professional. There are further tax breaks related to oil and gas investing, such as depletion allowance and other optional advantages.
