Hammerspace, the company orchestrating the next data cycle, and Cloudian, the leader in S3-compatible object storage, have announced a partnership to deliver a cutting-edge solution for managing unstructured data at scale. Combining Hammerspace’s parallel file system performance and global data orchestration with Cloudian’s exabyte-scale HyperStore object storage, the partnership empowers enterprises to seamlessly manage, protect, and extract value from their massive unstructured data sets.
Unstructured data comprises 90% of all data being generated today, growing exponentially and challenging enterprises with its sheer scale and complexity. By integrating Hammerspace’s high-performance data orchestration capabilities with Cloudian’s secure and scalable object storage platform, organizations can unify data across edge, core, and cloud environments in a single global namespace.

Ivanti Warns of New Zero-Day Attacks Hitting Connect Secure Among Other Products
Posted in Commentary with tags Ivanti on January 9, 2025 by itnerdIvanti yesterday raised the alarm for a pair of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in its enterprise-facing products and warned that one of the bugs has already been exploited in the wild.
Ivanti has released an update that addresses one critical and one high vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure, Policy Secure and ZTA Gateways. Successful exploitation of CVE-2025-0282 could lead to unauthenticated remote code execution. CVE-2025-0283 could allow a local authenticated attacker to escalate privileges.
Martin Jartelius, CISO at Outpost24, commented:
“Last time we had an Ivanti zero-day exploitation, the attackers shifted to their active/destructive phase as the patch became available. So, anyone impacted should firstly patch at once, and secondly review their readiness in incident response and keep extra eyes on their monitoring for the near future. Many still remember the Akira breach against Tietoevry in Sweden and its cascading impact on organizations and government agencies as the impacted organization was a service provider.”
Ivanti yet again makes the news for all the wrong reasons. Which means that if you have any Ivanti products in your environment, you need to drop what you’re doing and patch all the things.
