As cyberattacks occur at increasing frequency, cybersecurity has become a cornerstone of corporate security strategies across all sectors. With businesses increasingly reliant on digital infrastructures, the quality of a company’s cybersecurity training is no longer just an operational requirement — it is a strategic asset. The stakes are high, as a breach can lead to devastating financial and reputational damage. Today, both industry professionals and end users must continuously update their knowledge to safeguard against potential breaches. Cybersecurity training is not just beneficial; it’s imperative.

Cybersecurity training is not just beneficial; it’s imperative.

On a recent episode of MarketScale's premier roundtable show Experts Talk, Geoffrey Kohl, Senior Director of Marketing at the Security Industry Association, emphasized the educational opportunities at the recently concluded International Security Conference & Exposition West 2024. He highlighted the dual nature of workforce training as both a potential vulnerability and a formidable strength within companies.

“It’s really important. At ISC West… There are full tracks dedicated to cybersecurity. There’s a day-long course, the security industry cybersecurity certification review course,” said Kohl.

One of the things that I I say and I hear people even talk about in the industry all the time is a poorly trained workforce is the biggest threat that you have as a company, but a well trained workforce is the best is the the best thing that you could possibly have. Right? And that that expands across a lot of different verticals in security as well. But, you know, Jeff, I wanna ask, you know, how how important is that world of cybersecurity training for those those folks that are coming into the industry for the first time? Because they're coming to see you to ask those questions. They are, and it's it's really important. So, you know, at ISC West, you've got over a hundred and ten sessions that are happening, you know, next, in two weeks. And, over two hundred twenty speakers. There are full tracks dedicated to, cybersecurity. There's a day long course, the security industry cybersecurity certification review course.

Why Momentive says city data centers need sealant built for 1,000-foot towers

Why Momentive says city data centers need sealant built for 1,000-foot towers

Planners are pushing urban data centers toward glass facades. Bull argues high-load structural silicone glazing—like the 30 psi UltraGlaze SSG4600 used on Austin’s 1,025-foot Waterline tower—can help support heavier security glass and tighter enclosure performance in new multi-story builds.

  • 01When a city insists a data center look like an office building, the sealant holding the glass ends up doing work for the cooling plant.
  • 02UL 752 Level 7 glazing is described at about 1.6 inches and 15 pounds per square foot; the piece warns security glass weight and the facade joint’s load capacity should be checked together.
  • 03The supertall-sealant case applies mainly to new urban builds; most operating U.S. data centers can't shut down for facade replacement and harden their glass through retrofit shields instead.

IndexBox sees 5.3% panelized-building growth, but capacity may bite

IndexBox sees 5.3% panelized-building growth, but capacity may bite

IndexBox forecasts the global panelized buildings market to grow 5.3% a year from 2026 to 2035, with residential housing at about 45% of 2026 demand. Factory capacity is the catch. Limited mass timber and specialized steel framing capacity will hold growth back in some regions, and IndexBox expects investment in new plants and automation to ease those bottlenecks by the late 2020s.

  • 01Panels swap scarce framing crews for factory hours, and through the late 2020s the factory hours for mass timber and specialized steel framing are scarce too.
  • 02Housing is 45% of panelized demand, but commercial and institutional projects are expected to grow faster because owners are paying for schedule certainty; warehouse and campus owners are closest to that shift.
  • 03Mid-scale volumetric modular plants are estimated to need 60% to 70% utilization to break even; panel lines use different equipment, but the report argues the same fixed-cost logic can make order-book visibility important before adding shifts or lines.

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Rebond 300 replaces up to 30% of cement in concrete with no equipment changes. In a Holcim and Goldbeck floor slab trial at C30/37, its workability, setting time and finishing matched the reference mix. Demand exceeds what Paebbl can produce, and closing that gap is now its main challenge.

  • 01After the Holcim–Goldbeck Germany floor-slab trial showed Rebond 300 could run through a standard ready-mix chain to C30/37 with no schedule change, buyer questions shift to supply/allocation (tonnes available), price and how much of the mix to commit.
  • 02If Rebond 300 displaces up to 30% of cement yet can cut embodied carbon by up to 40%, the figures suggest a negative footprint beyond simple substitution; Paebbl describes its -149 kg CO2e per tonne of product figure as verified, with results depending on mix design.
