Tenable to Bring Claude Mythos 5 into the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform

APAC — Tenable® Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TENB), the exposure management company, today announced it is bringing Anthropic’s Claude Mythos 5 directly into the Tenable One Exposure Management Platform. As adversaries use AI to move faster and operate at greater scale, defenders need equally advanced capabilities to stay ahead. This integration between Tenable and Mythos 5 will bring frontier cyber reasoning into Tenable One, enabling a new generation of AI-powered capabilities across exposure management.

This step marks an expansion of Tenable’s existing work with Anthropic through Project Glasswing, moving from securing Tenable code and infrastructure to the availability of Claude Mythos 5 within Tenable One. The first innovation planned in this expanded work will be Tenable One Adversary View, a new capability that uses Claude Mythos 5 to help security teams discover hidden attack paths and how to best remediate them. Adversary View is expected to be available to initial customers in September, with additional innovations planned for Q4 and beyond.

Security teams already have enormous amounts of information about their environments. The challenge is identifying how seemingly unrelated exposures combine to create a dangerous attack path. Teams must then determine which paths present the greatest risk and find the most effective way to break the chain. Claude Mythos 5 brings advanced cyber reasoning to these problems at the speed and scale these environments demand.

“Bringing Claude Mythos 5 into Tenable One marks an important milestone for Tenable and our customers,” said Eric Doerr, chief product officer at Tenable. “By combining some of the world’s most advanced cyber reasoning with the breadth and depth of Tenable’s exposure intelligence, we can tackle complex security problems in entirely new ways. Adversary View is the first planned innovation to emerge from this work, helping customers see their environments as an attacker would and identify the actions that can reduce risk most effectively. And it is just the beginning.”

Adversary View will complement Tenable One’s existing exposure prioritization and attack path analysis. It analyzes exposure data Tenable already collects to reconstruct how an attacker could move from an initial point of access toward critical systems. It then shows the evidence behind each step and provides guidance on the specific remediation that could break the path.

Mobile Internet Keeps Southeast Asia’s Remote Work Hubs Connected, but Fixed Broadband Tells a Different Story

Southeast Asia continues to strengthen its position as a hub for digital nomads and remote workers, with Ookla’s latest report highlighting generally strong mobile connectivity across the region’s popular destinations. While mobile networks are proving increasingly capable, the report also reveals important differences in fixed broadband reliability and Wi-Fi technology.

Among the 13 destinations measured, Da Nang, Vietnam, recorded the fastest median mobile download speed at 215.56 Mbps. At the other end of the range, Cebu in the Philippines posted 55.48 Mbps. Despite the gap, mobile performance remains broadly satisfactory for remote work. Median download speeds increased in 12 of the 13 destinations over the past year, indicating continued improvements in mobile network performance.

The expansion of 5G availability is another positive development. Availability increased across all 13 destinations, ranging from an impressive 83.8% in Phuket, Thailand, to 40.0% in Penang, Malaysia. However, greater access to 5G has not necessarily translated into more consistent performance. The share of 5G samples meeting the benchmark of at least 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload declined in seven destinations.

Network stability also deserves attention. Mobile jitter remained below the 30 ms threshold that Microsoft Teams considers poor for video calls in every destination. Da Nang recorded the lowest jitter at just 7 ms, while Cebu had the highest at 18 ms. However, jitter increased year over year in 11 of the 13 destinations, suggesting that connection stability could become a growing concern for remote professionals.

Fixed broadband is where the differences between destinations become much more pronounced. Singapore led with a median download speed of 447.75 Mbps, while Jakarta, Indonesia, recorded 60.33 Mbps. Reliability can also vary significantly. Chiang Mai, Thailand, for example, delivered a 258.50 Mbps median speed, but only 65.7% of fixed samples achieved the 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload benchmark.

Finally, Wi-Fi remains an important part of the remote-work equation. A fast fixed connection can still result in a poor experience if the local Wi-Fi network is outdated. Singapore stands out, with 34.4% of reported Wi-Fi connections using Wi-Fi 7—7.5 times the share of the next ASEAN destination. Meanwhile, legacy Wi-Fi 4 remains common in Jakarta and Bali, accounting for 42.7% and 41.9% of connections, respectively.

Overall, the findings show that Southeast Asia remains well-positioned for remote work, but speed, consistency, reliability, and Wi-Fi technology all matter when choosing a destination.

Former Icelandic Minister Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir Joins Fenris Creations to Lead New AI Partnerships

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland – Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir, Iceland’s former Minister of Justice and former Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation, has joined Fenris Creations, formerly CCP Games, as Senior Director, AI Partnerships. In the role, she will lead the company's work with AI laboratories, universities, policymakers, and strategic partners on a new research initiative involving EVE Frontier.

Fenris Creations has spent the last several months developing the initiative to test a bold hypothesis: that persistent virtual worlds like EVE Frontier, underpinned by real social and economic systems, can offer a live proving ground for advanced AI before it becomes a greater part of our everyday lives.

Rather than relying solely on short-lived simulations that end and reset, the aim is to create a place where autonomous agents can be observed in a real, open and evolving economy, alongside real people, with real consequences, within the kind of dynamic system the company's games are uniquely able to provide.

The EVE Universe is particularly well-suited to this work. For more than two decades, it has developed as a living virtual economy, encompassing trade, production chains, currencies, commodity markets, alliances, conflict, cooperation, betrayal and loss, shaped by hundreds of thousands of real participants and all the unpredictable behavior that comes with them. Unlike chess or Go, the world has no end state: mistakes stay made, debts stay owed, relationships persist, and reputation follows you. That makes it one of the very few places where the behavior of autonomous systems can be studied under conditions that resemble a real society and a real economy, with all the irrational, emotional, and unpredictable reactions that real people bring with them.

In EVE Frontier, the new chapter of the EVE universe, autonomous AI systems will be studied within EVE Frontier’s live, open-ended world as they set goals, respond to change, and make coherent sequences of decisions over extended periods. This enables researchers to better assess model behavior in genuinely complex environments and inform the responsible development of future AI systems.

If the initiative succeeds, it opens an entirely new role for Fenris Creations and EVE Frontier, potentially making important contributions to research on intelligent agents, complex systems, and AI alignment.

What makes the work possible is the scale and longevity of what already exists. Fenris brings its experience in creating and operating a persistent virtual world, together with the engineering, design, and community expertise required to explore how autonomous AI behaves in a live, player-driven setting. Few virtual environments offer the same combination of persistence, complexity, and sustained human participation.

“Every major advance in AI has required a new proving ground. We believe persistent virtual worlds are the next frontier. EVE Frontier gives us something that doesn’t exist anywhere else: a living economy where intelligent agents can learn, cooperate, compete and make mistakes that have lasting consequences. We’re incredibly excited to welcome Áslaug to Fenris to help build the global partnerships needed to turn that vision into reality.” - Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO

“Having seen firsthand how policy is developed and implemented, I am excited to bring my political experience to this new role. There is no greater opportunity to help shape the future of AI innovation than being part of a testing ground that empowers our partners to make meaningful inroads with regulators, helping ensure safe, practical and reliable AI standards. I look forward to helping Fenris take this work forward responsibly.” - Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir, Senior Director, AI Partnerships

Earlier this year, Fenris Creations announced a research partnership with Google DeepMind focused on exploring intelligence in complex, dynamic systems. That collaboration is already active, with teams from both organizations completing a two-day workshop this week to exchange ideas and identify practical areas for further work. The sessions reflected a strong alignment in approach and a shared interest in how persistent virtual worlds can support meaningful research and new forms of interactive experience. Áslaug’s appointment will broaden this work by helping Fenris Creations build relationships across the wider AI research, academic, policy and strategic landscape, bringing new institutions, perspectives and opportunities into the initiative as it develops internationally.

Instructure Announces Project Athena, an AI Study Coach Designed to Deliver In-Context Learning through Canvas

SALT LAKE CITY— Instructure, the leading learning ecosystem and maker of Canvas LMS, today introduced Project Athena, currently under development as part of Instructure Foundry, Instructure’s new venture dedicated to innovation. Project Athena is an AI study coach that integrates with Canvas to help students study more effectively. Once launched, Athena will provide personalized support that coaches students toward skill mastery and understanding, utilizing feedback from students and educators grounded in learning science. Project Athena is being designed to use course materials, assignments, and information about upcoming assessments, available through the student’s account, to generate personalized quizzes, study guides, and coaching prompts aligned with course learning objectives.

As institutions work to improve engagement, many struggle to provide personalized study support at scale. Educators and students increasingly turn to AI tutoring to address this need. Yet most AI tutoring tools have a critical gap: they generate explanations without the context of what students are actually learning and require students to find, organize, and upload course materials themselves. Project Athena is intended to address that context gap by connecting study support to the Canvas content students are expected to learn.

Research from the Fordham Institute shows that instructionally aligned tutoring, when connected to what students are actually learning in their courses, produces measurable improvements in student outcomes. Athena will apply this learning science principle by connecting AI-powered study support to course context available through each student’s Canvas account. Athena’s quiz, study guide, and coaching prompts are designed to align with the specific material students are expected to master.
Designed to support educator confidence

Consistent with its philosophy of collaborative product design, Instructure is co-creating Project Athena alongside its customers. As one example of institutional partnership, Hinds Community College, the largest community college in Mississippi, will provide Athena to all 7,000 of its students this fall after a successful pilot this spring.

“Office hours and a tutoring center can only stretch so far. We wanted every student to have support whenever they needed it,” said Brandon Mitchell, Director of Instructional Design and Technology at Hinds College. “If that keeps even a fraction of our 7,000 students in a course they might have dropped, that's a completion and retention impact we can't ignore.”

Student feedback gathered during the project’s development has indicated that instructor support influenced students' comfort with using an AI-enabled study tool. Instructure is using that feedback to shape an experience focused on course materials, learning objectives, and study practices intended to strengthen understanding. The approach will give educators greater clarity about the tool's purpose and give students clearer expectations, while supporting institutional guidelines for responsible AI use.

“Project Athena represents what we believe responsible AI in education should look like: grounded in learning science, connected to the learning environment and built to support understanding through skill mastery,” said Shiren Vijiasingam, chief product officer at Instructure. “It will use the Canvas course context available to each student to focus personalized study support on what they are learning. Project Athena will coach toward mastery, not answers, and is being designed around student data privacy and responsible use.”

Study support grounded in Canvas course context

• Project Athena connects to a student’s Canvas account and uses information available through the student’s existing Canvas permissions, including course materials, assignments and upcoming assessments.
• It generates quizzes, study guides and coaching prompts. This allows the study experience to reflect the content and deadlines associated with each course while keeping support grounded in the material chosen by educators.
• Project Athena will use a mastery model that prioritizes understanding and skill development over assignment completion. It will track confidence and identify areas where students need additional support, pulling relevant questions and materials from Canvas and student uploads while continuously adapting difficulty to match what students already know. Students will be able to upload handwritten notes or curriculum content, and Athena will ground its guidance in course context, with an emphasis on content mastery.

Privacy by design is core to Instructure's AI governance, and Project Athena reflects this commitment. Student conversations are never used to train external models, and students will retain ownership of the data they create in Athena. Athena will access Canvas course information through a read-only connection governed by the student’s existing permissions, so it can only retrieve information the student is authorized to view. Instructure serves as a FERPA-designated school official when handling education records on behalf of participating institutions.

New Book “The Animals Who Rescue Me” Reveals Surprising Link Between Wildlife Conservation and Human Trafficking

(Jupiter, Florida) – Dorothy in the famous film, The Wizard of Oz, was petrified of lions, tigers, and bears, but Leslie Siegel of Florida didn’t bat an eyelash when encountering each species up close and personal throughout her life’s journey. The acclaimed animal advocate and wildlife conservationist today announced the release of her compelling new memoir, The Animals Who Rescue Me, an inspiring and eye-opening account of her frontline rescue missions for countless endangered species across the globe, and the distinct connection between illegal wildlife poaching and human trafficking.

Part travel memoir, part conservation narrative, and part social awakening, The Animals Who Rescue Me chronicles Siegel’s journeys through wildlife sanctuaries, remote conservation areas, rescue operations, and communities on the front lines of environmental protection. Along the way, she discovers a startling reality: many of the same international criminal networks responsible for wildlife trafficking are also linked to human trafficking, forced labor, and the exploitation of vulnerable populations.

“As I traveled to protect and rescue animals, I began to see a much larger story unfolding,” said Siegel. “The suffering of wildlife and the torment of people are often connected in ways most of us never imagine. This book is about those discoveries - and about the animals that taught me some of life’s most profound lessons that have transformed my understanding of humanity, compassion, and justice.”

Through encounters with boars, black bears, elephants, hyenas, lions, cheetahs, cougars, tigers, gorillas, chimpanzees, rhinos, opossums, snakes, and skunks, the book explores how protecting wildlife can also help safeguard human communities. At the same time, it offers readers a deeply personal story of healing, resilience, and purpose.

Unlike traditional conservation books that focus solely on environmental issues, The Animals Who Rescue Me examines the intersection of wildlife crime, organized trafficking networks, poverty, and human rights. The result is a powerful narrative that challenges readers to rethink the relationship between people, animals, and the natural world.

According to Born Free USA, a national charity that opposes the exploitation of wild */412animals in captivity, the illegal wildlife trade is worth more than $20 billion annually. It frequently relies on forced labor, child exploitation, corruption, and organized criminal activity. Investigations around the world have uncovered instances where individuals, including children, have been forced into dangerous work such as harvesting wildlife products, fishing in illegal operations, or assisting poaching activities.

Readers have already praised the book for its compelling storytelling, emotional depth, and timely message: “This book is both a wake-up call and a message of hope that advocates for proper human behavior around wildlife,” said Tim Harrison, founder of Outreach for Animals, a global nonprofit organization. “It is a powerful reminder that protecting animals is not just an environmental issue, but a moral human imperative.”

Throughout the span of the book, Siegel describes her experiences working with such high-profile groups as The International Anti-Poaching Foundation, Bear Defenders, the Nonhuman Rights Project, Social Media Animal Cruelty Coalition, Humane World for Animals, Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention Program, Rhino 911, BEARS, Etc., Outreach For Animals, Farm Sanctuary, Save The Chimps and San Wild Sanctuary, among numerous others.

“Every time we combat wildlife trafficking, we are also helping to dismantle systems that exploit people,” concludes Siegel. “Conservation is about more than protecting animals – it’s about safeguarding communities, livelihoods, and future generations, and every individual has the power to make a difference.”

The Animals Who Rescue Me is now available through major booksellers and online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
