Sidero Labs Achieves SOC 2 Type II Certification, Reinforcing Enterprise-Grade Security and Operational Integrity
SOC 2 Type II Certification
GOLETA, Calif., Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sidero Labs, delivering solutions that reduce friction in managing Kubernetes and containerized applications, today announced it has successfully completed its SOC 2 Type II audit. The independent assessment, conducted by A-LIGN, validated Sidero's ability to maintain effective controls across security, availability, and confidentiality throughout the audit period.
SOC 2 Type II certification is a widely recognized benchmark for vendors serving enterprise and regulated environments. The audit confirms that Sidero Labs operates with disciplined security processes and controls that meet the rigorous criteria established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). For customers, the certification reduces risk in procurement, accelerates onboarding, and simplifies compliance assessments when deploying Sidero Labs' solutions in production.
'Security and reliability are at the core of how we build and support infrastructure,' said Spencer Smith, Director of Site Reliability and Customer Success at Sidero Labs. 'Achieving SOC 2 Type II further substantiates that the trust customers place in our platform is backed by rigorous operational discipline. It's another step forward in helping organizations manage Kubernetes securely, across bare metal, cloud, and edge environments.'
Sidero Labs' technologies are designed for environments where infrastructure control and system integrity are non-negotiable. Talos Linux, the open source Kubernetes operating system, eliminates common attack vectors through a minimal, immutable architecture and a fully API-driven model that removes SSH. Omni, Sidero's SaaS platform for multi-cluster Kubernetes management, enables enterprise-grade orchestration at scale without compromising security or sovereignty.
SOC 2 Type II certification adds a formal validation to Sidero Labs' security-first approach, already reflected in how its tools are used across sensitive, sovereign, and air-gapped deployments. The certification is part of the company's broader commitment to delivering secure-by-default infrastructure, operational transparency, and continuous improvement.

Google's Gemini Live AI is finally getting serious about mobile apps
When Google introduced the Gemini Live avatar of its AI, it was nothing short of a revelation. The ability to have freewheeling conversations with an AI, which can also see the world around you through the phone's camera and make sense of it, is something that still astounds me. Now, it's getting ready to work seamlessly with the Android apps installed on your phone. What is changing? At its Pixel 10 launch event, Google announced that Gemini Live can now work with Calendar, Keep, and Tasks. So, let's say you are talking with the AI, and want to quickly save a note, you can do so by simply speaking the task. And while at it, you no longer have to open the Keep app. Recommended Videos While conversing with Gemini Live, you can directly tell it stuff like 'save a note about picking up cabbage from the store,' or 'add an entry for a meeting with John at 4pm this Saturday in Calendar.' The idea is to connect Gemini Live seamlessly with apps, just the way Gemini has already been integrated deeply within Google tools such as Docs, Gmail, Search, and more. With Gemini Live, you don't have to click or type, or even switch to another app.. All you need to do is utter the command and it will be seamlessly executed in the background. The best is yet to come Gemini already works with Google's own apps as well as third-party software such as WhatsApp using a system of connectors. Google is now focused on bringing that convenience to its mobile apps via Gemini Live for added voice-first convenience. Aside from Calendar, Keep, and Tasks, Google is also bringing it to the core communication apps, as well. 'We're adding the Messages, Phone, and Clock apps and bringing additional capabilities into our Google Maps integration, so Gemini Live will be able to help you in even more ways,' the company said in a blog post. Google says it's updating the underlying models to make sure that Gemini Live conversations sound even more natural. Users will also be able to instruct Gemini Live so that it can speak slowly and match their note-taking speed.

Powerball Jackpot Hits $700 Million—Here's What The Winner Could Take Home
The Powerball jackpot touched $700 million—the biggest lottery prize of 2025 so far—after no tickets matched all six numbers drawn on Wednesday night, although the eventual winner will take home a much smaller payout after paying their taxes. The Powerball jackpot rose to $700 million after Wednesday night's drawing. Los Angeles Times via Getty Images The six numbers drawn on Wednesday night were 31, 59, 62, 65, 68, and red Powerball 5. If a winner emerges in the next draw, they will have to choose between taking the $700 million spread over 30 annualized payments or a one-time lump sum cash payout of $316.3 million—usually the popular choice. If the cash payout is chosen, the winnings will drop to $240.4 million after a mandatory federal withholding of 24% is applied. The winner could then face a federal marginal rate as high as 37%, depending on their taxable income, further slashing their winnings to $199.3 million. If the winner picks the installment route, their annual payments of around $23.3 million would drop to $14.7 million if the 37% federal marginal rate is applied. The winner may also face additional taxes based on their state of residence, as some, such as New York, tax lottery winnings at 10.9%, while others, such as Texas, Florida, and California, don't. The next draw for the Powerball jackpot will take place on Saturday night. The next drawing for the Mega Millions lottery is set to take place on Friday, and the jackpot amount currently stands at $234 million. Surprising Fact The eventual winner will have to overcome astronomical odds of 1 in 292.2 million to win the Powerball jackpot. This is slightly worse than the Mega Millions jackpot, which has odds of 1-in-290.4 million. The Mega Millions used to have even worse odds than the Powerball lottery, but the competition implemented significant changes earlier this year that slightly improved the odds of winning both the jackpot and smaller prizes. The eventual winner of the Powerball jackpot will claim the biggest lottery prize of the year so far, beating out the $526.5 million prize won by a Powerball ticket buyer from California in March. The biggest Mega Millions jackpot of 2025 so far was a $349 million prize won by an Illinois resident in March. Last year's biggest lottery prize was also a Powerball jackpot worth $1.326 billion, won by an Oregon resident.
