The hidden risk in SaaS: Why companies need a digital identity exit strategy

In the face of sudden trade restrictions, sanctions, or policy shifts, relying on SaaS providers outside your region for identity services is a gamble that companies can no longer afford to take. With trade disputes set to escalate, a sudden policy change could result in SaaS providers pulling out of regions or being forced to comply with new regulations that render identity services inaccessible. While software companies have yet to be put in the crosshairs, … More → The post The hidden risk in SaaS: Why companies need a digital identity exit strategy appeared first on Help Net Security.

AI will make ransomware even more dangerous

Ransomware is the top predicted threat for 2025, which is especially concerning given 38% of security professionals say ransomware will become even more dangerous when powered by AI, according to Ivanti. In comparison to the threat level, only 29% of security professionals say they are very prepared for ransomware attacks – leaving a significant gap in preparedness (29%), highlighting the need for more robust security measures. Strong understanding of exposure management among security leaders A … More → The post AI will make ransomware even more dangerous appeared first on Help Net Security.

Novel memristors to overcome AI’s ‘catastrophic forgetting’

Memristors consume extremely little power and behave similarly to brain cells. Researchers have now introduced novel memristive that offer significant advantages: they are more robust, function across a wider voltage range, and can operate in both analog and digital modes. Their unique properties could help address the problem of ‘catastrophic forgetting,’ where artificial neural networks abruptly forget previously learned information.

Producing nuclear fusion fuel is banned in the US for being too toxic, but these researchers found an alternative

Lithium-6 is essential for producing nuclear fusion fuel, but isolating it from the much more common isotope, lithium-7, usually requires liquid mercury, which is extremely toxic. Now, researchers have developed a mercury-free method to isolate lithium-6 that is as effective as the conventional method.

Quantum heat dynamics toggled by magnetic fields

The ability to conduct heat is one of the most fundamental properties of matter, crucial for engineering applications. Scientists know well how conventional materials, such as metals and insulators, conduct heat. However, things are not as straightforward under extreme conditions such as temperatures close to absolute zero combined with strong magnetic fields, where strange quantum effects begin to dominate. This is particularly true in the realm of quantum materials.
