Collaborate Disseminate
Biometric authentication has moved from fingerprints to voices to facial scans, but a team of researchers believes the next step could be inside the ear. New research explores how the ear canal’s unique acoustic properties can be used to verify identit… Continue reading Can your earbuds recognize you? Researchers are working on it
Security teams spend much of their day pulling data from reports, forums, and feeds, trying to connect clues across multiple sources. Google says that work can now happen through a simple conversation. A new way to interact with threat data Google has … Continue reading Google introduces agentic threat intelligence for faster, conversational threat analysis
In this Help Net Security interview, Ken Deitz, CISO at Brown & Brown, discusses how the definition of cyber risk has expanded beyond IT to include IoT, OT, and broader supply chain ecosystems. As organizations connect these assets through cloud a… Continue reading When everything’s connected, everything’s at risk
Most research on LLM privacy has focused on the wrong problem, according to a new paper by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Northeastern University. The authors argue that while most technical studies target data memorization, the bigges… Continue reading Most AI privacy research looks the wrong way
Spam has long been a nuisance in blockchain networks, clogging transaction queues and driving up fees. A new research paper from Delft University of Technology introduces a decentralized solution called STARVESPAM that could help nodes in permissionles… Continue reading A new approach to blockchain spam: Local reputation over global rules
Researchers have revealed a new security blind spot in how LLM applications connect to external systems. Their study shows that malicious Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers can quietly take control of hosts, manipulate LLM behavior, and deceive users… Continue reading When trusted AI connections turn hostile
Cybersecurity teams often struggle to test defenses for industrial control systems without risking disruption. A group of researchers from Curtin University has developed a way to make that easier. Their work introduces a container-based framework that… Continue reading A safer way to break industrial systems (on purpose)
A new academic study proposes a way to design privacy mechanisms that can make use of prior knowledge about how data is distributed, even when that information is incomplete. The method allows privacy guarantees to stay mathematically sound while impro… Continue reading What if your privacy tools could learn as they go?
The EU’s proposed Chat Control (CSAM Regulation) aims to combat child sexual abuse material by requiring digital platforms to detect, report, and remove illegal content, including grooming behaviors. Cybersecurity experts warn that such measures could … Continue reading What Chat Control means for your privacy
In this Help Net Security interview, Wayman Cummings, CISO at Ochsner Health, talks about building a healthcare cybersecurity strategy, even when resources are tight. He explains how focusing on areas like vulnerability management and network segmentat… Continue reading Building a healthcare cybersecurity strategy that works
