Identity security planning for 2026 is shifting under pressure

Identity security planning is becoming more focused on scale, governance, and operational strain, according to the Identity Security Outlook 2026 report. The ManageEngine research draws on responses from 515 identity and security leaders in the United States and Canada and reflects budget holders and practitioners who manage day-to-day identity systems. The findings point to three forces shaping near-term strategy: growth in non-human identities, uneven use of AI in identity operations, and sustained momentum toward vendor … More → The post Identity security planning for 2026 is shifting under pressure appeared first on Help Net Security.

Quantum structured light could transform secure communication and computing

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a single photon can carry. This leap could make quantum communication more secure, quantum computers more efficient, and sensors far more sensitive. Recent advances have turned what was once an experimental curiosity into compact, chip-based technologies with real-world potential. Researchers say the field is hitting a turning point where impact may soon follow discovery.

Scientists create robots smaller than a grain of salt that can think

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the robots swim by manipulating electric fields rather than using moving parts. They can detect temperature changes, follow programmed paths, and even work together in groups. The breakthrough marks the first truly autonomous robots at this microscopic scale.

Tiny 3D-printed light cages could unlock the quantum internet

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable storage of quantum information. The structures can be fabricated with extreme precision and filled with atoms in days instead of months. Multiple memories can operate side by side on a single chip, all performing nearly identically. The result is a powerful, scalable building block for future quantum communication and computing.

Turning plain language into firewall rules

Firewall rules often begin as a sentence in someone’s head. A team needs access to an application. A service needs to be blocked after hours. Translating those ideas into vendor specific firewall syntax usually involves detailed knowledge of zones, objects, ports, and rule order. New research from New York University examines a different starting point, one that treats natural language as the entry point for firewall configuration. The paper presents a prototype system that accepts … More → The post Turning plain language into firewall rules appeared first on Help Net Security.
