Cyware Launches Threat Intelligence Solutions for SLTT Governments
SLTT agencies play a pivotal role in national cyber resilience, yet they face mounting pressure from persistent threat actors and evolving attack methods. Recent MS-ISAC data shows that 37% of SLTT agencies lack confidence in handling cyber incidents, while 77% point to poor coordination as a major barrier to statewide cybersecurity.
'With cyber threats growing more sophisticated and interlinked, unified intelligence and collaboration are no longer optional – they're essential,' said Tom Stockmeyer, Managing Director of Government at Cyware. 'Our platform is designed from the ground up to help SLTT governments modernize their cyber operations, share intelligence seamlessly, and respond to threats with the speed and precision that today's environment demands.'
Cyware's AI-powered platform enables SLTT teams to centralize and automate threat detection, indicator sharing, and mitigation – shifting from reactive monitoring to real-time, coordinated cyber defense across jurisdictions. The platform integrates easily with key federal and sector-specific resources like CISA's Automated Indicator Sharing (AIS) program and multiple Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs), including MS-ISAC, Health-ISAC, Maritime Transportation Services-ISAC, Aviation-ISAC, Research & Education Network ISAC, and the National Rural Electric Cooperative.
Anuj Goel, co-founder and CEO of Cyware, added: 'SLTT governments are on the front lines of cybersecurity, yet too often face resource limitations and fragmented tools. With this launch, we're bringing them a unified, mission-ready solution that turns information into coordinated action. Action that delivers the threat visibility, automation, and cross-agency collaboration they need to better protect their communities.'
The platform is highly scalable, with flexible deployment options – whether in the cloud or on-premises – allowing agencies of all sizes to tailor implementations to their operational needs.
Cyware is currently 'StateRAMP In Process,' signaling a commitment to meeting the compliance and procurement requirements of public-sector buyers. In addition, Cyware's capabilities align with strategic initiatives such as the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP), helping SLTT agencies maximize available federal and state funding while improving ROI and cyber readiness.
In recognition of these innovations, Cyware was recently named the 2025 winner of Security Today's prestigious GOVIES Award for excellence in AI-driven cyber threat management. This industry honor reflects our deep commitment to delivering advanced threat intelligence solutions designed specifically for SLTT governments and federal agencies.

Team Stock Jumps 14.3% Despite Reporting Wider Y/Y Loss in Q2
Shares of Team, Inc. TISI have risen sharply following the company's second-quarter 2025 earnings release. Since reporting results, the stock has advanced 14.3%, far outpacing the S&P 500's 1.3% growth. Over the past month, the stock has climbed 10.2% compared with the broader market's 2.5% rise, highlighting investor confidence in the company's operational and financial trajectory. Team posted revenues of $248 million in the second quarter, an 8.5% increase from the $228.6 million reported in the year-ago quarter. The gross margin expanded to $68.1 million, up 7.1% year over year. The company recorded a net loss of $4.3 million, wider than a loss of $2.8 million in the prior-year quarter, though its adjusted EBITDA improved 12.4% to $24.5 million from $21.8 million. On a per-share basis, the loss widened to 95 cents from 63 cents a year ago. Importantly, the adjusted net loss narrowed to $0.9 million from $2 million last year. Team, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Team, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Team, Inc. Quote Other Key Business Metrics Performance across segments was mixed but overall favorable. Inspection and Heat Treating (IHT) revenues grew 15.2% year over year to $130.4 million, driven by a 13.4% rise in U.S. operations and a 31.4% increase in Canadian operations. Segment operating income jumped 26.7% to $15.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA for IHT rose 25% to $19.5 million, with a margin improvement of 118 basis points. Mechanical Services (MS) revenues grew 1.9% to $117.6 million, with U.S. operations gaining 6.6% but international markets experiencing softness. Operating income fell 4.7% to $10.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the MS unit dipped to $15 million from $15.4 million a year earlier. From a balance sheet perspective, liquidity totaled $49.3 million at the quarter end, including $16.6 million in cash and $32.7 million in undrawn credit availability. Total debt stood at $370.2 million, up from $325.1 million at the end of 2024, reflecting refinancing completed in March 2025 and seasonal working capital demands. Management Commentary Chief executive officer Keith D. Tucker emphasized that the second quarter showcased tangible progress in the company's transformation program. He highlighted double-digit growth in the IHT segment and continued cost optimization efforts, including initiatives expected to yield approximately $10 million in annualized SG&A and other cost savings, with $6 million anticipated in the second half of 2025. Chief financial officer Nelson M. Haight underscored the benefits of the March refinancing, which lowered the blended interest rate by more than 100 basis points and extended term-loan maturities to 2030. He noted that adjusted net loss had narrowed substantially and reiterated management's goal of achieving at least 15% year-over-year growth in adjusted EBITDA for 2025. Factors Influencing the Headline Numbers Revenue growth was primarily fueled by strength in the U.S. and Canadian operations in the IHT segment, wherein higher activity in turnaround and callout services supported double-digit expansion. The MS segment's performance was hampered by weakness in certain international markets, particularly the U.K. and Trinidad, where project activity declined. Gross margin expansion reflected higher volumes and improved cost management, while SG&A leverage improved as expenses represented 18.9% of revenues, down from 19.8% last year. However, bottom-line losses widened due to elevated interest costs and foreign currency losses, partially offsetting operating gains. Guidance Management expects continued revenue and margin improvements in the second half of 2025. The company reaffirmed its target of at least 15% growth in adjusted EBITDA for the year and highlighted anticipated gains from Canadian and other international operations. Leadership also stressed its commitment to driving margin expansion, cost discipline, and operational resilience to sustain shareholder value creation. Other Developments In the quarter, Team announced the appointment of Dan Dolson as executive vice president, chief strategy and transformation officer. His role is to accelerate ongoing transformation initiatives, with a focus on both revenue growth and margin improvement. The company did not disclose any acquisitions or divestitures during the period. In summary, Team delivered a solid second quarter, with revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth underscoring progress in its transformation program. While net losses are concerning, narrowing adjusted net loss, stronger performance in the IHT segment, and effective cost controls highlight improving fundamentals. Management's guidance of at least 15% adjusted EBITDA growth for 2025 suggests operational improvements. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

AI could deliver $920B in annual net benefits to S&P 500 firms
-- Artificial intelligence could generate annual net benefits of roughly $920 billion for S&P 500 companies, according to Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS). The bank said in a note Monday that its analysis points to '$13-16 trillion in long-term market value creation potential for the S&P 500' driven by AI adoption. The report highlights that '90% of occupations will to some degree be impacted by AI automation and augmentation,' with the potential benefits coming from both cost reductions and productivity gains. Morgan Stanley noted that agentic AI, essentially software-based applications, will likely have 'a broader impact on jobs relative to embodied AI,' with greater scope for augmentation rather than outright replacement. Sector exposure is said to vary widely. The bank found that Consumer Staples Distribution/Retail, Real Estate Management & Development, and Transportation could each see savings above 100% of estimated 2026 pretax earnings. Health Care Equipment & Services was also flagged as a major beneficiary. By contrast, Technology Hardware & Equipment and Semiconductors show relatively muted effects. Morgan Stanley emphasised that the value creation potential, equal to 24-29% of current S&P 500 market capitalisation, is 'fundamentally bullish for AI enablers and adopters.' It added that the return on the roughly $3 trillion in expected global AI capex through 2028 in areas such as data centres and chips 'is attractive.' While the $920 billion figure represents a full-adoption scenario that may take years to achieve, the bank argued that the long-term opportunity is likely far larger. 'AI adoption market value creation potential, beyond the confines of the S&P 500, is likely to be multiples of the $13-16 trillion,' Morgan Stanley said.

Should We Think Of AI As A Mother?
Mother, child and happy piggyback in summer. getty This is a very unique time in the development of artificial intelligence. When historians go back and sort through the last few years, and the years to come, it might be hard to put a finger on just where the critical mass moment occurred, when it was that we vaulted into the future on the wings of LLMs. But to me, it's telling that we are talking so much about systems and products and opportunities that would have been unimaginable just a decade ago. Image creation, for instance. Even in the oughts, in the early years of the new millennium, you still had to make your own pretty pictures and charts and graphs. Not anymore. Voice cloning, realistic texting companions, robots running races… the list goes on and on. Amid this rapid set of developments, some of those closest to the industry are warning that we need a certain trajectory to make sure that AI is safe. One such person is Yann LeCun, former head of research at Meta, who has been on stage at multiple Imagination in Action events, and gets top billing on many panels and conferences where he discusses innovation. Right now, LeCun is in the news for suggesting that AI needs 'guardrails,' that there are specific principles that we will need to keep in mind to ensure the fidelity of our use cases. What he's calling for is two-fold: first, that the systems be able to represent 'empathy' or compassion, and second, that the AI entities need to be deferential to human authority. That second one speaks to the way that breakout forces escape the food chain of the natural world: humans did this aeons ago, with weaponry and protective systems that basically eliminated natural predators. I guess the idea is that we now have a new potential predator that must be neutralized in a different way. To wit, LeCun said this: "Those hardwired objectives/guardrails would be the AI equivalent of instinct or drives in animals and humans.' That word, instinct, helps to explain those deep-level motivations that do, in a real sense, guide behaviors. Hopefully we haven't lost ours, as humans, and hopefully we can help AIs form theirs. Reporting on LeCun's comments notes that he's speaking in the wake of some input from Geoffrey Hinton, who is often called the 'godfather of AI' but ended up disavowing his brainchild, to a certain extent. Hinton's own comments go right to the core of how we see human-to-human interactions, and by extension, those we will have with humanoid AI. He asks us to imagine if AI could be like our mothers. 'The right model is the only model we have of a more intelligent thing being controlled by a less intelligent thing, which is a mother being controlled by her baby,' Hinton reportedly said. 'If it's not going to parent me, it's going to replace me. …These super-intelligent caring AI mothers, most of them won't want to get rid of the maternal instinct because they don't want us to die.' Unfortunately, this goal seems to fly in the face of the hubris observed in our modern societies – with both superpowers and domestic populations armed to the teeth against each other, what chance do we have of internalizing the right instinct, to bond with a more powerful partner? On the other hand, ascribing maternal roles to AI seems like a positive thing, but is it the right thing, at the end of the day? Ultimately, those aspirations that LeCun and Hinton mention (empathy, etc.) are objectives for us, too. It's also sobering that these comments come at a time when a jury has just brought the top self-driving vehicle company to heel with a $200 million fine for a fatality involving technology: ruling on the death of Naibel Benavides Leon , struck by a Tesla car on Autopilot, the jury found that technology makers are responsible, to an extent, for that lack of guardrails that has real and tragic consequences. It's a powerful metaphor: that to build correctly, we have to deliberate, not only on market principles, but on greater ones, too – that we have to have a long-term picture of how society is going to work with these AGIs and agentic systems in play. AI is now able to 'do things for you,' and so, what sorts of things will it be doing? I'm reminded, again, of the proposal by my colleague Dr. John Sviokla that AI could provide individual tutors for humans , to help them work through various kinds of critical thinking, and the suggestion from other quarters that one human priority should be to hire an army of philosophers to keep us nicely in the lane when it comes to AI development. Here's an interesting resource from Selmer Bringsjord and Konstantine Arkoudas at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, NY, talking in 2007 about the fundament of AI research . They cite another team of authors in suggesting: 'The fundamental goal of AI research is not merely to mimic intelligence or produce some clever fake. Not at all. AI wants only the genuine article: machines with minds, in the full and literal sense. This is not science fiction, but real science, based on a theoretical conception as deep as it is daring: namely, we are, at root, computers ourselves.' 'This 'theoretical conception' of the human mind as a computer has served as the bedrock of most strong-AI research to date,' Bringsjord and Arkoudas write. 'It has come to be known as the computational theory of the mind; we will discuss it in detail shortly. On the other hand, AI engineering that is itself informed by philosophy, as in the case of the sustained attempt to mechanize reasoning, discussed in the next section, can be pursued in the service of both weak and strong AI.' There's a lot more in here, about speculation, logic, mechanistic thought, etc. – to sink your teeth into. And similarly, quite a few MIT people are working somewhere in the junction of neuroscience, AI, and biological modeling, to come to a more informed perspective on what the future will look like. And perhaps, as Paul Simon sings, the mother and child reunion is only a motion away.
