SAS digital twins transform manufacturing
With these digital twins, manufacturers like Georgia-Pacific can experiment with new strategies in simulated digital worlds, then take the best approaches and implement them in the real world.
One of the world's leading manufacturers of paper and wood-based building products, GP is piloting these enhanced digital twins at its Savannah River Mill, which manufactures napkins, paper towels and toilet tissue.
GP is leveraging SAS' technology to optimize its use of automated guided vehicles and other processes.

Microsoft Releases Urgent Fix for Sharepoint Vulnerability Being Used in Global Cyberattacks
Microsoft has issued an emergency fix to close off a vulnerability in Microsoft's SharePoint software that hackers have exploited to carry out widespread attacks on businesses and at least some federal agencies. The company issued an alert to customers Saturday saying it was aware of the zero-day exploit—where hackers take advantage of a previously unknown vulnerability—being used to conduct attacks and that it was working to patch the issue. Microsoft updated its guidance Sunday with instructions to fix the problem for SharePoint Server 2019 and SharePoint Server Subscription Edition. Engineers were still working on a fix for the older SharePoint Server 2016 software. Cyber criminals often use zero-day exploits to steal sensitive data and passwords. The vulnerability also could allow hackers to access services connected to SharePoint including OneDrive and Teams. The company said in its blog post that it discovered at least dozens of systems were compromised around the world. Security engineers stated the attacks occurred in waves on July 18 and 19. Although the scope of the attack is still being assessed the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned that the impact could be widespread and recommended that any servers impacted by the exploit should be disconnected from the internet until they are patched.

Cyberattack hits Microsoft servers, threatens thousands of global organizations
Microsoft servers have been targeted in a large-scale cyberattack, with unidentified hackers exploiting a vulnerability in the company's SharePoint systems, raising concerns over potential security breaches worldwide. The Windows developer acknowledged the flaw in a statement and released a new security update to curb active attacks on on-premises servers, confirming that additional updates are in development. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) explained that the loophole allows attackers to execute code and access file systems and internal settings, according to Bloomberg. Cybersecurity firm Censys reported that more than 10,000 organizations using SharePoint servers are at risk, most of them based in the United States, followed by the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Canada. Palo Alto Networks warned that the attacks are real and pose a serious threat. Reports from outlets such as The Washington Post confirmed the breach has affected US federal and government agencies, universities, energy companies, and a telecom firm in Asia. This incident adds to a growing series of cyber intrusions targeting Microsoft systems. Back in March, the company warned that Chinese hackers were exploiting remote management tools and cloud applications to spy on institutions inside the US and abroad.

Microsoft Looks to Boost AI Performance in European Languages
US tech behemoth Microsoft is investing millions of dollars to funnel more European-language data into AI development, company president Brad Smith told AFP Monday. With today's leading AI models mostly trained on material in English, "the survival of these languages and the health of these cultures is quite literally at stake" without a course correction, Smith said in an interview. AI models are "less capable when it is in a language that has insufficient data," he added -- which could push more users to switch to English even when it is not their native language. Microsoft will from September set up research units in the eastern French city Strasbourg to "help expand the availability of multilingual data for AI development" in at least 10 of the European Union's 24 languages, including Estonian and Greek. The work will include digitizing books and recording hundreds of hours of audio. "This isn't about creating data for Microsoft to own. It is about creating data for the public to be able to use," Smith said, adding that the information would be shared on an open-source basis. The US-based company has in recent months striven to position itself as especially compatible with a gathering political push for European technological sovereignty. Leaders in the bloc have grown increasingly nervous at their dependency on US tech firms and infrastructure since Donald Trump's reelection to the White House. In June, Microsoft said it was stepping up cooperation with European governments on cybersecurity and announced new "data sovereignty" measures for its data centers on the continent. Smith said that Monday's announcement was just the latest evidence of the company's commitment to Europe. Most leading AI firms are American or Chinese, although Europe has some standouts like France's Mistral or Franco-American platform Hugging Face. Away from Microsoft, some European initiatives such as TildeLM are pushing to develop local-language AI models. The Windows and Office developer also said Monday that it was working on a digital recreation of Paris' Notre-Dame cathedral that it plans to gift to the French state, as well as digitizing items from the country's BNF national library and Decorative Arts Museum.
