By Greg Otto December 16, 2024 Minnesota-based Arctic Wolf, a cybersecurity operations firm, announced an agreement Monday to acquire BlackBerry’s Cylance business for $160 million, a stark drop from the $1.4 billion BlackBerry initially paid to acquire the startup in 2018. Arctic Wolf is integrating Cylance’s AI-powered endpoint security technology into its platform to broaden its security solutions. With this acquisition, Arctic Wolf plans to bolster its presence in the competitive cybersecurity market, leveraging Cylance’s technology. It marks Arctic Wolf’s sixth acquisition to date, enhancing its portfolio with previous acquisitions such as RootSecure and Tetra Defense. The sale includes a cash payment and approximately 5.5 million common shares of Arctic Wolf, with BlackBerry set to receive around $80 million at closing and the remainder following in fiscal 2025. The deal is expected to be finalized in BlackBerry’s fiscal Q4. John Giamatteo, CEO of BlackBerry, highlighted the sale’s benefits for all stakeholders involved, ensuring continuity for Cylance’s clients. “Our customers will realize the benefits of continuity of service and the expertise that Arctic Wolf provides,” he said in a statement, noting that BlackBerry will remain involved in the sector as a reseller and shareholder post-transaction. Cylance, founded in 2012 and acquired by BlackBerry in 2018, initially anticipated a strengthened position in the cybersecurity space. Prior to the acquisition, the tool was instrumental in discovering the malware responsible for the historic breach at the Office of Personnel Management. However, market shifts toward threat detection and response — capabilities that Cylance lacked — dampened its market hold. Nick Schneider, Arctic Wolf’s CEO, expressed the imperative need for integrated security operations, identifying weakness in isolated point solutions. “Security has an operations and effectiveness problem and endpoint solutions alone have failed to live up to the outcomes they have promised for years,” Schneider stated , emphasizing the need for a unified platform that effectively minimizes risk and enhances resilience. The planned integration of Cylance’s AI capabilities into Arctic Wolf’s open-XDR Aurora platform is set to advance endpoint security deliverables and harness automated intelligence to preemptively counteract cybersecurity threats.U.S. Sen.

The project is located on a 15-hectare agricultural wasteland. The choice of a specific technology for the structures supporting the solar panels with trackers 1 and the implementation of an appropriate irrigation system will enable farming activities to resume. The other two projects, with capacities of 8.2 megawatts and 6.2 megawatts respectively, are solar farms with fixed structures. In total, the production of the three projects represents the annual electricity consumption of more than 18,000 inhabitants and will prevent the emission of 7,500 tonnes of CO 2 . “ With a capacity of 461 megawatts in operation and under construction, Voltalia is a major player in renewable energy in mainland France and French Guiana.

United States of America has the world's oldest democracy but the country is yet to get a female President. ET Year-end Special Reads Corporate Kalesh: Top family disputes of India Inc in 2024 The world of business lost these eminent people in 2024 Fast, faster, fastest: How 2024 put more speed into your shopping Former President Bill Clinton and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., don't agree on much. Yet, recently the ideological adversaries found some common ground on a political question that has quietly endured over nearly two decades. Yes, a woman can win the White House, they agree. But she's probably going to be conservative, NYT News Service reported. "Are there women out there, governors, Republican, Democrat, that can be the next president of the United States? Absolutely," Graham said in an interview on Capitol Hill this month. "If you have a Republican female nominee, they would have a good shot of being the first woman president." A few days earlier and several hundred miles north, Clinton -- whose wife tried and failed twice to win the White House -- made a similar argument, as per a report on NYT News Service .

"But I think a woman can be elected president. I do." Their similar predictions are the latest in a conversation that has frustrated and foiled two generations of female candidates. For Democrats still scarred by Hillary Clinton 's loss to Donald Trump in 2016, Vice President Kamala Harris ' defeat at the hands of the same man in November has only deepened anxieties over gender bias and prompted a fresh round of debate over the electability of women to the nation's highest office. For decades, advocates for female political leaders argued that if more women ran for president, their presence in American politics would become normalized and one would eventually win the White House. Since Clinton's first attempt to break what she called "that highest, hardest glass ceiling" in 2008, nine other women have vied for a major party's nomination. Those candidates have been conservative and liberal, racially diverse, and from big cities, small towns and across the country. Some campaigned on an economic message, others focused on social issues. Only two -- Clinton and Harris, both Democrats -- captured their party's nomination. As they process the second defeat of a female nominee, Democrats are divided over the question of how much Harris' gender actually contributed to her loss, making it hard to divine what exactly that could mean for their party in 2028. Two weeks before Election Day, Harris openly dismissed concerns that sexism could hurt her chances, saying in an interview with NBC News that the country was "absolutely" ready to elect a female president.

Satellos is a clinical-stage drug development company dedicated to developing life-improving medicines to treat degenerative muscle diseases. Satellos has invented SAT-3247 as a first-of-its-kind, orally administered small molecule drug designed to restore skeletal muscle regeneration initially in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Satellos has generated a significant body of preclinical evidence in DMD to support its discovery that correcting muscle stem cell polarity with SAT-3247 has the potential to restore skeletal muscle regeneration to repair and strengthen muscle that has been damaged. The Company’s lead drug candidate, SAT-3247, is currently in clinical development as a potential disease-modifying treatment for DMD. Additionally, Satellos is leveraging its breakthrough research and proprietary discovery platform MyoReGenXTM, to identify degenerative muscle diseases where deficits in muscle regeneration occur that are amenable to therapeutic intervention for future clinical development.
