Indeed Certificate Manager 7.3 Adds OpenLDAP, Dogtag CA and Linux Domain Support
Company Indeed has released Indeed Certificate Manager 7.3, the latest version of its centralized certificate and key media management system. The primary focus of the update is Linux infrastructure, with the product gaining support for additional directories, an open certificate authority, and single sign-on via Kerberos.
Indeed CM now works with OpenLDAP and Alt Domain. This enables organizations to deploy PKI infrastructure entirely within Linux environments and avoid vendor lock-in for core directory services.
Another significant integration is Dogtag CA. The open-source certificate authority can now be used together with Indeed CM for issuing and managing the full certificate lifecycle. Administrators no longer need to handle the low-level cryptographic operations directly, as the system manages these tasks.
For access to Indeed CM services on Linux, Kerberos SSO has been implemented. Once a user authenticates to the domain, no additional credentials are required, reducing the number of passwords that must be remembered and lowering phishing risk.
Certificate protection has also been strengthened. Version 7.3 supports Rutoken BIO and three-factor authentication combining a hardware token, PIN code, and fingerprint. In integration with Rutoken Logon, a complex password scenario has been added where the password is automatically generated and stored on the token.
Additional features include storage of service notes about users and the ability to issue service certificates for client agents through SafeTech CA. The list of supported hardware now includes new JaCarta models.
Indeed CM 7.3 adds support for Windows Server 2025, Debian 13, and Alt 11, while remaining compatible with ALD Pro 3.0.

Mapping Logical Air Gap Techniques for Secure Network Segmentation
A detailed technical overview explores how organizations can achieve logical air gaps to isolate high-value network segments without completely severing data exchange. The article contrasts classic physical air gaps with everyday reverse proxies and introduces six distinct levels of isolation ranging from physical media to semantic validation. It evaluates each approach across three axes: whether a direct network path remains, which side initiates connections, and whether synchronous responses are possible. Practical constructions such as dual-homed hosts, message brokers, and schema-enforced proxies are examined alongside common misconceptions including reverse tunnels and port knocking. The guide emphasizes that true logical air gaps terminate sessions at an intermediary that then originates new, controlled exchanges. Real-world deployments typically combine multiple layers, such as network separation plus transport proxies plus content validation, to balance security and usability for critical environments like industrial control systems and backup repositories.
Oxygen Cloud Platform Deploys Russian VDI Solution for Heavy 3D CAD Work in One Month
Oxygen Cloud Platform completed a rapid deployment of a domestic VDI infrastructure supporting demanding 3D graphics workloads for an unnamed Russian engineering company. The project replaced six months of prior R&D testing with a one-month rollout using Russian operating systems, hypervisors, and connection protocols. Engineers addressed GPU sharing via Forsite vGate, optimized NVIDIA A40 cards for Siemens NX and Kompas-3D, and resolved multi-monitor detection issues through firmware updates. Network latency was mitigated by tuning the Loudplay protocol and updating Astra Linux, Termidesk, and client components. Automatic resource brokering was configured in Termidesk with separate Active Directory pools to handle varying user profiles across remote sites 1500 km away. The solution delivers protected access to a secure data center over a dedicated channel while meeting strict import-substitution requirements.

360 Group Launches NanoWork Enterprise AI Platform with Built-in Security and Opens Nationwide Channel Partner Recruitment
On July 28 at the Beijing National Convention Center, 360 Group founder Zhou Hongyi officially unveiled NanoWork, a next-generation enterprise intelligent agent work platform. The platform is designed to bridge the gap between powerful AI models and real-world business tasks by enabling multi-agent collaboration, on-demand model scheduling, and 24/7 cloud operation across diverse scenarios. NanoWork was developed through extensive real-world testing involving 100,000 intelligent agents, coverage of 630 positions over 150 days, consumption of 350 trillion tokens, and collection of 56,000 feedback items. A core emphasis is placed on native security features drawn from 360 Group's two decades of cybersecurity experience to prevent errors that could lead to actual data loss or permission breaches. The company is now actively recruiting city-level channel partners across China to help deploy the solution in local industries and activate existing customer bases with AI capabilities.
