This is interesting: Creating these defenses is the goal of NIST's lightweight cryptography initiative, which aims to develop cryptographic algorithm standards that can work within the confines of a simple electronic device. Many of the sensors, actuators and other micromachines that will function as eyes, ears and hands in IoT networks will work on scant electrical power and use circuitry far more limited than the chips found in even the simplest cell phone.
Ah JavaScript, the answer to - and cause of - all our problems on the web today! Just kidding, jQuery has solved all our JS problems now. But seriously, JS is a major component of so much of what we build online these days and as with our other online things, the security posture of it is enormously important to understand. Recently, I teamed up with good mate and fellow Pluralsight author Aaron Powell who spends his life writing JS things.
Many cybersecurity awareness platforms offer massive content libraries, yet they fail to enhance employees’ cyber resilience. Without structured, engaging, and personalized training, employees struggle to retain and apply key cybersecurity principles. Phished.io explains why organizations should focus on interactive, scenario-based learning rather than overwhelming employees with excessive content.
Researchers at Princeton University have released IoT Inspector , a tool that analyzes the security and privacy of IoT devices by examining the data they send across the Internet. They've already used the tool to study a bunch of different IoT devices. From their blog post : Finding #3: Many IoT Devices Contact a Large and Diverse Set of Third Parties In many cases, consumers expect that their devices contact manufacturers' servers, but communication with other third-party destinations may not b
The more time that goes by and the more deeply I give it thought, the more convinced I am that the web is held together with sticky tape. No - cyber-sticky tape! Because especially when it comes to security, there are fundamental and inherent shortcomings in everything from HTTP to HTML and many of the other acronyms that make the web work as it does today.
This post looks at the main difficulties faced while using a classifier to block attacks: handling mistakes and uncertainty such that the overall system remains secure and usable. At a high level, the main difficulty faced when using a classifier to block attacks is how to handle mistakes. The need to handle errors correctly can be broken down into two challenges: how to strike the right balance between false positives and false negatives, to ensure that your product remains safe when your class

Interesting symmetric cipher: LC4 : Abstract: ElsieFour (LC4) is a low-tech cipher that can be computed by hand; but unlike many historical ciphers, LC4 is designed to be hard to break. LC4 is intended for encrypted communication between humans only, and therefore it encrypts and decrypts plaintexts and ciphertexts consisting only of the English letters A through Z plus a few other characters.
It's a (new) weekly update! Lights are in, things are much brighter and. I think it was a bit too bright and the camera was pointed too high. This is all experimentation, folks, and I appreciate everyone's input as I tune things to try and get a consistent, quality result. Still, as someone said whilst I was mucking around with all this, the audio quality is great and that's what people are ultimately listening to so that's a fantastic start.
This post looks at the main difficulty faced while using a classifier to block attacks: handling mistakes and uncertainty such that the overall system remains secure and usable. This is the third post in a series of four that is dedicated to providing a concise overview of how to use artificial intelligence (AI) to build robust anti-abuse protections.
The DHS compliance audit clock is ticking on Zero Trust. Government agencies can no longer ignore or delay their Zero Trust initiatives. During this virtual panel discussion—featuring Kelly Fuller Gordon, Founder and CEO of RisX, Chris Wild, Zero Trust subject matter expert at Zermount, Inc., and Principal of Cybersecurity Practice at Eliassen Group, Trey Gannon—you’ll gain a detailed understanding of the Federal Zero Trust mandate, its requirements, milestones, and deadlines.
Micah Lee ran a two-year experiment designed to detect whether or not his laptop was ever tampered with. The results are inconclusive, but demonstrate how difficult it can be to detect laptop tampering.
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Eleanor Dallaway, Editor and Publisher – Infosecurity Magazine, on RSA Conference Television (RSAC TV) last week at the annual RSA Security Conference. In the interview, we spoke of what I had observed on the show floor, the state of the security industry, and I describe my perfect customer in information security.

Multiple groups operating under the China state-sponsored Winnti umbrella have been targeting organizations in the US, Japan, and elsewhere, says ProtectWise.
Twitter is the latest company to face backlash for how it handles data privacy after disclosing that it sold data access to a Cambridge Analytica-linked researcher.
Many software teams have migrated their testing and production workloads to the cloud, yet development environments often remain tied to outdated local setups, limiting efficiency and growth. This is where Coder comes in. In our 101 Coder webinar, you’ll explore how cloud-based development environments can unlock new levels of productivity. Discover how to transition from local setups to a secure, cloud-powered ecosystem with ease.
The apps are deemed malicious by doing things such as capturing pictures and audio when the app is closed, or making an unusually large amount of network calls.
How many people would you trust with your house keys? Chances are, you have a handful of trusted friends and family members who have an emergency copy, but you definitely wouldn’t hand those out too freely. You have stuff that’s worth protecting—and the more people that have access to your belongings, the higher the odds that something will go missing.
The cyber community is often reminded of past events such as large-scale data breaches and vicious cyberattacks that caused mass destruction and caught the publics’ attention. This month marks the one-year anniversary of the WannaCry ransomware attack that seized operating systems across the globe and caused businesses up to $4 billion in damages. The WannaCry virus was able to spread thanks to the Shadow Brokers’ NSA data dump which exposed EternalBlue to the public and was quickly abused by cy
Despite heightened awareness of the security implications many users still continue to reuse passwords and rarely if ever change them, a LogMeIn survey shows.
After a year of sporadic hiring and uncertain investment areas, tech leaders are scrambling to figure out what’s next. This whitepaper reveals how tech leaders are hiring and investing for the future. Download today to learn more!
Streamlining operations and improving security. Large data scale breaches have led an increasing number of companies to embrace comprehensive encryption strategies to protect their assets. According to our 2018 Global Encryption Trends Study , 43% of respondents report that their organization has an encryption strategy they apply across the enterprise, compared with 15% in 2005.
In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.
