new Of course, digital protection measures such as antivirus software, secure gateways, firewalls, and virtual private networks (VPNs) remain crucial. And, incorporating advanced digital strategies such as machine learning to monitor for behavioural anomalies, provides an added layer of security. Leadership teams should also assess whether similar approaches have been applied to address any physical vulnerabilities. For example, a combination of manned entry points, locked facilities, cameras, and security alarms offers robust protection. It’s unlikely that a physical intrusion will occur simply to steal a laptop. Instead, these malicious actors commonly look for a way to access data or install malware inside the organisation’s physical perimeter where some protections may be lacking.IT Brief New Zealand, 9h ago
new Consider the example of a financial service organization. Banks often deal with sensitive data, such as Social Security and credit card numbers, that can't be exposed to the Internet. In these cases, agentless security can be applied to safeguard sensitive data while also helping security teams understand the context and linked risks. At the same time, the organization can also leverage agent-based security to better detect and respond to ongoing and future attacks with real-time alerts about brute force attacks or data filtrations, such as a malware campaign. An organization's DevOps security team can further shift security left and integrate malware-scanning features into the DevOps stages to achieve code-to-cloud protection.darkreading.com, 19h ago

Goal: As machine learning models get more powerful, restricting query access based on a safety policy becomes more important. Given a setting where a model is stored securely in a hardware-isolated environment, access to the model can be restricted based on cryptographic signatures. Policy-based signatures allow signing messages that satisfy a pre-decided policy. There are many reasons why policy enforcement should be done cryptographically, including insider threats, tamper resistance and auditability. This project leverages existing cryptographic techniques and existing discourse on AI/ML safety to come up with reasonable policies and a consequent policy-based access model to powerful models.alignmentforum.org, 3d ago
This paper presents the Identity-based Cluster Authentication and Key Exchange (ID-CAKE) scheme, a new approach to address security challenges in VANETs. The ID-CAKE scheme integrates the Cluster Consensus Identity-based Identification (CCIBI) with Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs and the Identity-based Multireceiver Key Exchange Mechanism (ID-mKEM) signature scheme. This integration provides robust authorization via CCIBI, while ID-mKEM signatures ensure message integrity, and guarantee both non-repudiation and unforgeability through mKEM for message broadcasting. The scheme employs a novel three-party ZK proof for batch verification using mKEM, which significantly reduces computational burdens. Our scheme also ensures anonymity and unlinkability by introducing pseudo-identities to all users in the cluster. The rigorous security proofs provided confirm the resilience of the ID-CAKE scheme against potential attacks, adhering to the different scenarios, against the hardness of the elliptic curve computational Diffie-Hellman under the random oracle model. The ID-CAKE scheme establishes a robust security framework for VANETs, and its introduction highlights potential pathways for future exploration in the realm of VANET security.iacr.org, 3d ago

As healthcare organizations adopt interconnected Operational Technology (OT) with its IT to IOT to support physical operations of its environment, appropriate OT security is required to protect the data being collected by OT as well as to ensure availability and reliability of the technology. The cyber resiliency strategies covered in this standard applies to both IT and OT. Considerations should also be given to the necessity of securing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning solutions within OT environments.HealthCareCAN, 5d ago
While the Cyber Resiliency Act aims to virtuously strengthen cyber security, it is crucial to balance security efforts with the open and collaborative nature of open source. Addressing cyber threats is crucial, but it is equally important to ensure that security measures do not stifle the innovation and sharing that characterises open source. An open and continuous dialogue between stakeholders is essential to develop effective policies that take both objectives into account. Hopefully, the legislative process will allow the necessary time and question the most appropriate experts for this type of involvement.CNCF, 5d ago

...“While AI drives innovation across various industries, it also presents security risks. However, we can actually protect against cyberattacks through leveraging AI solutions. For example, you can utilize AI to strengthen data security by implementing advanced encryption algorithms, user behavior analytics, and anomaly detection techniques – identifying potential vulnerabilities and enabling proactive measures to mitigate risks. In addition to protecting – you can also predict. By leveraging AI to analyze data and identify potential vulnerabilities and weak points in the security infrastructure, those predictive analytics can help assess risks and prioritize resources for enhanced protection. In a situation where the “bad guy” does succeed with a cyberattack – AI can also help respond to cyber incidents promptly. These tools can detect and respond to threats in real-time, minimizing the damage caused by cyberattacks. While the risks of AI-driven cyberattacks are real, responsible use of AI can be a powerful tool in preventing such threats.”...insideBIGDATA, 23d ago
