NVIDIA research shows how agentic AI fails under attack

Enterprises are rushing to deploy agentic systems that plan, use tools, and make decisions with less human guidance than earlier AI models. This new class of systems also brings new kinds of risk that appear in the interactions between models, tools, data sources, and memory stores. A research team from NVIDIA and Lakera AI has released a safety and security framework that tries to map these risks and measure them inside real workflows. The work … More → The post NVIDIA research shows how agentic AI fails under attack appeared first on Help Net Security.

The Bastion: Open-source access control for complex infrastructure

Operational teams know that access sprawl grows fast. Servers, virtual machines and network gear all need hands-on work and each new system adds more identities to manage. A bastion host tries to bring order to this problem. It acts as a single entry point for sysadmins and developers who connect to infrastructure through ssh. This model is old in theory, but The Bastion open-source project shows how far a purpose-built access layer can go. A … More → The post The Bastion: Open-source access control for complex infrastructure appeared first on Help Net Security.

How to tell if your password manager meets HIPAA expectations

Most healthcare organizations focus on encryption, network monitoring, and phishing prevention, although one simple source of risk still slips through the cracks. Password management continues to open doors for attackers more often than leaders expect. Weak, reused, or shared passwords often play a part in breaches that involve protected health information. The HIPAA Security Rule expects organizations to manage authentication with care, and password managers can help satisfy these expectations when they are chosen and … More → The post How to tell if your password manager meets HIPAA expectations appeared first on Help Net Security.

CISOs are spending big and still losing ground

Security leaders are entering another budget cycle with more money to work with, but many still feel no safer. A new benchmark study from Wiz shows a widening gap between investment and impact. Budgets keep rising, cloud programs keep expanding, and AI is reshaping both threats and defenses. Still, CISOs say the fundamentals of risk reduction are not improving fast enough. Bigger budgets do not create confidence Organizations continue to increase cybersecurity spending across industries. … More → The post CISOs are spending big and still losing ground appeared first on Help Net Security.

The “impossible” LED breakthrough that changes everything

Scientists have discovered how to electrically power insulating nanoparticles using organic molecules that act like tiny antennas. These hybrids generate extremely pure near-infrared light, ideal for medical diagnostics and advanced communications. The approach works at low voltages and surpasses competing technologies in spectral precision. Early results suggest huge potential for future optoelectronic devices.
