Collaborate Disseminate
Intel’s addition of memory encryption to its upcoming 3rd generation Xeon Scalable processors matches AMD’s Secure Memory Encryption (SME) feature. Continue reading Intel Adds Memory Encryption, Firmware Security to Ice Lake Chips
If you work in a secure facility, the chances are pretty good that any computer there is going to be stripped to the minimum complement of peripherals. After all, the fewer parts that a computer has, the fewer things that can be turned into air-gap breaching transducers, right? So no …read more

The current state of cybersecurity is complex, fast-moving and a critical risk to all organizations. Understanding where U.S. businesses stack up in terms of their security knowledge and defense strategy is of utmost importance. It’s critical that lea… Continue reading Side-Channel Attacks: Cyber Warfare’s New Battleground
Researchers have created an attack called Spearphone that uses the motion sensors in Android phones to listen to phone calls, interactions with your voice assistant, and more. Continue reading Your Android’s accelerometer could be used to eavesdrop on your calls
Researchers have demonstrated a novel, if slightly James Bond technique, for clandestinely discovering the unlock pattern used to secure an Android smartphone. Continue reading Can ‘sonar’ sniff out your Android’s lock code?
Researchers at EURECOM S3 Group found that they can extract crypto keys from a set of run-of-the-mill communications chips just by listening to the noise it makes. Continue reading Leaky radio devices broadcast chipset data, discover researchers
Intel, Amazon, ARM, Microsoft and others have shared patch updates to keep customers informed on their mitigation efforts to protect against the far reaching Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities impacting computers, servers and mobile devices worldwide.
