/in /tarafından

Datadog shares soared 23% on Thursday, marking the company’s second-best trading day ever, after the cloud software firm posted third-quarter results that exceeded Wall Street expectations and projected robust growth for the final quarter of the year.

The New York-based company reported $885.7 million in Q3 revenue, up 28% year-over-year and well above analyst estimates of $852.8 million, according to LSEG data. For the current quarter, Datadog forecasts between $912 million and $916 million in revenue, surpassing Wall Street’s $887 million projection.

Adjusted earnings reached 55 cents per share, topping FactSet estimates of 45 cents. The company also recorded net income of $33.9 million, or 10 cents per share, compared to $51.7 million, or 14 cents, a year earlier.

CEO Olivier Pomel credited the company’s momentum to continued innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud security tools. “The Datadog R&D team is innovating rapidly to help our customers solve problems in the AI space,” he said in a statement.

Datadog has rolled out a series of AI-focused products this year, including Bits AI Agents for SRE, which can automatically investigate system alerts and generate response drafts, and expanded features for LLM Observability, designed to monitor large language models. The firm also unveiled its MCP Server, which connects AI agents to enterprise data sources, and TOTO, its proprietary foundation model.

The company said the number of customers generating over $100,000 in annual recurring revenue rose 16% in the quarter, signaling sustained enterprise adoption.

Tata Motors Said to Fix E-Dukaan and FleetEdge Vulnerabilities Following AWS Key Exposure

/in /tarafından

Tata Motors reportedly addressed several critical security flaws in two of its digital platforms — E-Dukaan and FleetEdge — following a disclosure from an independent cybersecurity researcher. According to the report, the vulnerabilities were identified in 2023 and were serious enough to potentially expose sensitive company data. The flaws were said to have revealed Amazon Web Services (AWS) access keys, which, if exploited, could have allowed attackers to download confidential information or upload malicious files to Tata Motors’ cloud servers.

Researcher Flags Data Exposure Risks

Cybersecurity researcher Eaton Zveare, who has previously reported vulnerabilities in major tech platforms, detailed his findings in a blog post published earlier this week. He claimed that Tata Motors’ E-Dukaan platform, the company’s e-commerce portal for vehicle parts, contained misconfigured access that exposed AWS credentials. These credentials, he explained, could have granted full access to the company’s cloud storage, including internal files and sensitive operational data.

FleetEdge Platform Also Found Vulnerable

In addition to E-Dukaan, Zveare also discovered flaws in FleetEdge, Tata Motors’ fleet tracking and management solution. The researcher identified four key vulnerabilities that could have allowed unauthorised users to access restricted data and system resources. He noted that the flaws could be exploited remotely, making them particularly dangerous if discovered by malicious actors.

Tata Motors’ Response and Remediation

Tata Motors was reportedly notified about the security lapses in 2023, and the company acted promptly to patch the exposed endpoints and revoke compromised AWS keys. Following internal investigations, both E-Dukaan and FleetEdge were updated with enhanced authentication and access control mechanisms. The automaker has not disclosed whether any data breaches occurred as a result of the vulnerabilities, but cybersecurity experts have praised the company for its swift response and transparency. The incident underscores the growing cybersecurity challenges facing large automotive companies as they continue expanding into connected and cloud-based services.

OpenAI to Offer UK Data Residency Through Government Partnership

/in /tarafından

penAI is introducing a new UK data residency option, allowing businesses and government bodies to store their data locally. The initiative, officially announced by Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, stems from a partnership between OpenAI and the UK Ministry of Justice (MoJ). It aims to enhance privacy, cybersecurity, and national resilience while unlocking greater potential for AI innovation across the public sector.

Lammy highlighted how AI is already transforming operations within the MoJ. Over 1,000 probation officers will use “Justice Transcribe,” an AI-powered tool that records and transcribes conversations, cutting administrative time and improving efficiency. “By adopting AI, we’re freeing up staff to focus on what truly matters—protecting the public,” Lammy said.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman noted a fourfold increase in UK users over the past year and expressed excitement about how local businesses are leveraging AI for productivity gains. The UK data residency option will be available for customers using OpenAI’s API Platform, ChatGPT Enterprise, and ChatGPT Edu. The move comes as OpenAI continues to expand its product ecosystem, recently launching ChatGPT Atlas, an AI-driven browser designed to transform online search.
