Washington (CNN Business) More than a dozen companies in the cybersecurity space are developing a single, open standard for sharing data about hacking threats, a project the companies say could help organizations detect cyberattacks more quickly. The initiative led by Amazon ( AMZN ) , Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, IBM ( IBM ) , Okta and Salesforce ( CRM ) , among others, aims to solve a critical bottleneck in the sharing of threat information: The different data formats currently in use across multiple cybersecurity tools and products. According to the companies, that mismatch can cause delays in understanding how a cyberattack may be unfolding because data from one tool often must be converted into a compatible format to work with another tool. That can hinder analysis of the underlying threat data, said Mark Ryland, a top cybersecurity executive at Amazon Web Services, Amazon's cloud computing arm.

Congress is finally moving this week on the Inflation Reduction Act , a bill that could drive a 40% reduction in carbon emissions over the next decade. But another government arm, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, made its own (far quieter) news this month when it gave final certification to a new kind of nuclear reactor called a small modular reactor (SMR). While the announcement received basically no fanfare, proponents say it could play an important role in decarbonizing the world’s energy supply. advertisement advertisement The agency first performed a safety review of reactor company NuScale Power’s SMR design in 2020. A year later, the NRC completed its standard rulemaking process, which included a review of public comments. On August 2, the commission issued a final approval for the SMR, though NuScale says it’s unlikely to become operational until 2029.

Representative image The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on August 10 issued the guidelines for medical examination of transgenders applying for pilot licence, stating that they would be evaluated on a "case-to-case" basis. The guidelines have been released in the aftermath of the row that erupted following the denial of licence to transgender pilot aspirant Adam Harry , who was declared "unfit" by the aviation sector regulator earlier this year. The DGCA, in its latest circular, said, "A transgender applicant's medical fitness shall be assessed on a 'case to case' basis following the principles of assessing their functional ability and risk of incapacitation while exercising the privileges of their respective licences/ratings."
