Defending Against Active Exploitation of Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway Appliances

Introduction In late September 2026, Mandiant Consulting and Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) identified active, in-the-wild exploitation of a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2026-88772) affecting Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway appliances. We have observed evidence that organizations in North America and Europe in the government, financial services, technology, education, energy and utilities, and legal and professional […]

Why your startup needs open models alongside frontier APIs

Every week, I talk with founders who are building at an unbelievable pace. Teams are moving from inception to product-market fit faster than ever, with foundation models wired deeply into their core product workflows. Yet as startup architectures mature, a clear divide has emerged between teams struggling with margins and those scaling sustainably. The most

Storage Intelligence advisor: Know what changed in your storage estate and act on it

The volume of data being generated today brings both opportunity and massive operational complexity. Most teams that operate at scale don’t discover issues until they appear on an invoice — and by the time an unusual access pattern shows up as a line item, it has often been running for weeks. Understanding what happened means

Best practices guide for customizing Gemini models via Reinforcement Learning (RL)

Reinforcement learning (RL) has been a keystone of modern LLM post-training, but it demands large training clusters and access to model internals that external customers can’t have with proprietary models like Gemini. So here at Google Cloud, we packaged it into a managed RL fine-tuning service (RLFT service) — you bring prompts and a reward

Introducing SDK Client Warm-Up feature in the AWS SDK for Java 2.x

The first service call from an application that uses the AWS SDK for Java 2.x takes longer than subsequent calls. This problem is known as cold start. The new SDK client warm-up feature reduces cold-start latency. One call to SdkWarmUp.warmUp() during application startup exercises the SDK request path before your first service call. With AWS
