Libya’s Supreme Court will reactivate its Constitutional Chamber, announced the court’s Chief Justice, Counselor Mohamed Al-Hafi, on Thursday. “The General Assembly of the Supreme Court decides to reopen the constitutional chamber, which pledges to the Libyans that it will not take sides with any of the parties and that it will raise the status of the country and the established constitutional principles and rules,” Al-Hafi. The Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court is the body authorized to adjudicate cases and appeals of a constitutional and legal aspect. Its work has been suspended since 2016.

Date Available On Demand Duration 1 hourAlthough industrial control systems have switched from analog to digital many decades ago, the problem of having multiple proprietary protocols preventing these systems from properly integrating with each other still persists to this day. OPC UA was conceived with the purpose to address this problem, but its success was only partial, and it’s still not as pervasive and adopted as it should be. MQTT is changing that scenario quickly, with smart sensors, cameras, and now even PLCs natively implementing this old but revamped protocol and edge computing is one of the vectors behind this transformation. This presentation will explore how MQTT has been helping system integrators to overcome the challenges of hybrid integrations for Industry 4.0 projects that include OPC UA and other protocols.

In a unanimous vote, the General Assembly of the Supreme Court decided today to reactivate the Constitutional Circuit to consider and decide on appeals. The decision, announced by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Counsellor Mohamed Al-Hafi, stated that the court “promises to Libyans that it will not take sides with any of the parties and will raise the status of the country and the established constitutional principles and rules.”The constitutional court has ceased looking into constitutional cases for nearly six years. Its last decision was in 2014 when it ruled some elements of the Constitutional Declaration that led to the election of the 2014 House of Representatives were unconstitutional. This contributed to the split in Libya and the re-emergence of the rump of the General National Congress and its current unelected child, the High State Council. The announcement may have monumental consequences on Libya’s politics, if Libya’s political streams, and most importantly its militias, abide by the constitutional court’s decisions.

Much of the tradecraft used by adversaries is designed for stealth - get in and out without leaving a trace. Ransomware is designed to be 100% visible to the victim in the form of a ransom note and an inaccessible machine. The key to stopping ransomware isn’t focusing on the end of the attack, it’s catching the “pre-ransomware” activity that leads up to that point. If you can detect the threats that deliver the ransomware, you can stop the ransomware before it can cause damage.
