The report sets an 18-month roadmap for financial institutions and introduces the 'Anatomy of Cyber Failure – 4-layer Gap Archetype Framework', explaining how a cyberattack progresses from initial weakness to full-scale breach across four organisational security layers.14 Jul 2026IDoT Signs MoU with TSDSI to Boost India's Global Telecom Standards PlayThe Department of Telecommunications (DoT) signed an MoU with the Telecommunications Standards Development Society, India (TSDSI) during the 9th TSDSI Technical Deep Dive 2026, under the TDIP Scheme (outlay ₹203 crore for 2026–31) supporting the Bharat 6G Mission. DPIIT-recognised startups/MSMEs get up to 98% support, plus travel assistance for participation in global bodies like 3GPP, ITU and oneM2M.14 Jul 2026IChina Becomes Second Nation to Recover an Orbital-Class Rocket Booster with Long March-10BChina successfully recovered the first-stage booster of its new Long March-10B (CZ-10B) carrier rocket during its maiden flight on 10 July 2026, becoming only the second nation after the United States to recover an orbital-class rocket. Launched from the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site at Wenchang, the booster was caught at sea using a novel wire-arrestment 'net-capture' system rather than SpaceX-style landing legs - the world's first net-based recovery of a carrier rocket. Built by CASC (China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation), the reusable Long March-10B can lift about 16 tonnes to low-Earth orbit and supports China's crewed lunar programme (a Moon landing is targeted before 2030). Reusable first stages sharply cut the cost of reaching orbit.13 Jul 2026China's 'LineShine' Named World's Fastest Supercomputer at ISC 2026, Replacing US El CapitanChina's 'LineShine' was named the world's fastest supercomputer at the 2026 ISC High Performance conference, displacing the US-based 'El Capitan' from the top spot. LineShine achieved the leading double-precision performance on the High-Performance Linpack (HPL) benchmark, the standard test used to rank supercomputers by floating-point operations per second (FLOPS). Global supercomputer rankings are tracked by the biannual TOP500 list. The Linpack benchmark measures a computer's raw mathematical processing speed.11 Jul 2026
