12th Annual Edition of the BeyondTrust Microsoft Vulnerabilities Report Reveals Record-Breaking Year for Microsoft Vulnerabilities
Key findings from the 2025 report include:
Although the total number of vulnerabilities has risen, the longer-term trend shows the pace of growth appear is stabilizing. This, combined with the continued downward trend toward fewer critical vulnerabilities, suggests Microsoft's security initiatives and improvements in the security architecture of modern operating systems are paying off.
However, while vulnerability growth appears steady, the report also highlights the complexity of securing today's vast and diverse ecosystems, where evolving technologies, features, and interdependencies continue to introduce risk.
Key predictions and takeaways from this year's report include:
Despite the changing threat landscape, some security fundamentals remain unchanged:
1) Software vulnerabilities are as inevitable as death and taxes
2) Enforcing least privilege remains one of the most effective strategies to reduce risk—even against zero-days and reverse-engineered patches
3) Defense-in-depth strategies that combine prevention with detection and response offer the strongest protection—including against modern, identity-based threats.
'This year's data offers a clear reminder that the threat landscape isn't slowing down—it's rapidly evolving,' said James Maude, Field Chief Technology Officer at BeyondTrust. 'The sustained dominance of Elevation of Privilege vulnerabilities highlights how valuable privileges are to attackers and why they will continue to target identities with privileges to move laterally and gain access to critical systems. These trends reinforce the need for organizations to focus not just on patching, but on securing the underlying Paths to Privilege™ across their environments to reduce the attack surface of every identity and point of access.'
The BeyondTrust Microsoft Vulnerabilities Report serves as a trusted resource for organizations to better understand the Microsoft vulnerability landscape, prioritize patching strategies, and strengthen their identity security posture against modern threats.

World's Most Powerful Wi-Fi Hotspot, Sonim MegaConnect, Delivers Superior Connectivity for Public Safety on FirstNet
Able to fit in your hand, the ruggedized Sonim MegaConnect(TM) gives public safety more power, faster speeds, and more flexibility than ever before. Key Takeaways: San Diego, California and Dallas, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - July 16, 2025) - With the new Sonim MegaConnect, the industry's first ultra-portable 5G 1 HPUE mobile hotspot, public safety on FirstNet ®, Built with AT&T - America's only 5G network built with and for first responders - have a new way to stay connected on-the-go. [ This image cannot be displayed. Please visit the source: ] (C)2025 Sonim Technologies, Inc. All rights reserved. Sonim MegaConnect -- the industry's first HPUE mobile hotspot. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Sonim Technologies (NASDAQ: SONM) designed the new MegaConnect to address the unique connectivity needs of mission-critical users, as a part of the FirstNet MegaRange™ HPUE portfolio. Giving public safety a mobile connectivity solution that delivers superior coverage to areas beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks, it has 6x the transmission power of standard hotspots because it runs on Band 14—nationwide, high-quality spectrum set aside by the government specifically for FirstNet— and additional connectivity via AT&T 5G and LTE commercial spectrum bands. That means MegaConnect provides expanded coverage in remote areas and better penetrates through signal-blocking materials like glass, concrete, and metal. One-third the size of other HPUE devices available today and easily able to fit in the palm of your hand, the MegaConnect allows first responders to stay connected - wherever the mission takes them. Currently, the most affordable HPUE on the market, it gives first responders the dependable, high-speed communications they need for now just $99. 'As a brand trusted by the world's most demanding users, reliability and ruggedness are at the heart of everything we build at Sonim,' said Chuck Becher, General Manager of North America and Chief Commercial Officer of Sonim Technologies. 'The Sonim MegaConnect 5G Mobile Hotspot pushes the boundaries of mobile connectivity by blending high-power connectivity and true mobility into one device. It's the only HPUE communication tool that can be battery-operated in a compact form factor that mission-critical teams can trust to keep them connected, no matter where duty calls.' Unique, Innovative Capabilities Delivering up to twice the upload speed of standard devices, the MegaConnect empowers first responders to send critical data faster than ever before. From streaming live video feeds and high-resolution drone footage to setting up mobile command centers, public safety can have the lightning-fast upload speeds they need to send mission-critical data in the field. The MegaConnect is designed for durability and portability and built to ensure ease of deployment in any situation—whether during a natural disaster or inside an underground garage. Able to be easily carried or docked, the MegaConnect allows responders to easily take the mobile hotspot with them as an emergency evolves, providing connectivity for various devices when they're needed the most. Plus, coming later this year, public safety will be able to double the MegaConnect's 6x power boost to up to 12x with the new Parsec MegaReach™ Dock. With integrated high-gain antennas and advanced thermal management, this ultra-portable dock ensures first responders and field teams can carry next-generation connectivity wherever duty calls—without compromise. 'FirstNet is built with and for first responders, and we have a mission like no other carrier to drive innovative public safety-centric connectivity solutions that meet their unique needs,' said Matt Walsh, AVP, FirstNet and NextGen 9-1-1 Products, AT&T. 'Highly-portable and incredibly powerful, the MegaConnect is a game changer for first responders, whether they are handling an everyday emergency or a large-scale disaster.' Innovative, next-generation cooling capabilities inside the MegaConnect remove the heat created by the HPUE device, unlocking its full performance and making this mobile hotspot ideal for first responders on-the-go. Until recently, the heat generated by HPUEs made true portability an impossibility. Now equipped with Airjet, a breakthrough solid-state active cooling chip from Frore Systems, the MegaConnect stays cool while keeping public safety connected - especially ideal for users, like first responders, who need communication anywhere anytime. And reliable, all-day battery performance, gives first responders uninterrupted connectivity for extended mission-critical responses. Beyond first responders and the public safety community on FirstNet, this solution is also available to utilities, financial institutions, remote data centers, transportation-related businesses, retail, and other enterprises with remote-monitored infrastructure on the AT&T commercial network. When not in use by public safety on FirstNet, these enterprise entities can take advantage of the unique benefits of Band 14, including 6x the transmission power.

Nvidia's Rally Meets CEO Stock Sale Plan
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang cashes in $37.6 million as shares hit fresh highs again. According to a Form 4 filed with the SEC, Huang sold 225,000 shares between July 11 and 15 at weighted average prices ranging from $162.71 to $171.49. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. The sale coincided with Nvidia's rally to a 52?week high of $172.40, up 4.04% on the session, after the chip export ban to China was lifted. That milestone helped push Nvidia past a $4 trillion market cap, overtaking Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) in value. The transactions form part of Huang's 10b5?1 trading plan, under which he may sell up to six million shares through December 31. The recent sale represents less than one percent of his total stake of roughly 858 million shares. While insiders selling during a rally can raise eyebrows, this appears more a personal liquidity event than a signal on the company's long?term prospects. Huang's continued holding of more than 99% of his position underscores his alignment with Nvidia's future. Naturally, insider sales of this size can spook investors, but Huang's modest trimming amid record highs may simply reflect prudent diversification rather than a bearish outlook.
