Scientists create ultra-low loss optical device that traps light on a chip

CU Boulder researchers have designed microscopic “racetracks” that trap and amplify light with exceptional efficiency. By using smooth curves inspired by highway engineering, they reduced energy loss and kept light circulating longer inside the device. Fabricated with sub-nanometer precision, the resonators rank among the top performers made from chalcogenide glass. The technology could lead to compact sensors, microlasers, and advanced quantum systems.

Why SOCs are moving toward autonomous security operations in 2026

The modern security operations center faces a crisis of scale that human effort cannot fix. With alert volumes exponentially growing and threat actors automating their attacks, organizations must pivot to autonomous SOC strategies. This shift to AI-driven defense is the only way to survive the operational realities of 2026. The mathematical impossibility of legacy defense We need to be honest about the state of the traditional SOC. It is failing. It is not failing because … More → The post Why SOCs are moving toward autonomous security operations in 2026 appeared first on Help Net Security.

Security and complexity slow the next phase of enterprise AI agent adoption

Enterprise AI agents are embedded in routine business processes, particularly inside engineering and IT operations. Many organizations report active production deployments, and agent development ranks high on strategic agendas. A new study from Docker, The State of Agentic AI Report, examines how enterprises are deploying agentic systems and the challenges emerging as deployments scale. The data shows that 60% of organizations run AI agents in production environments. Nearly all describe building agents as a strategic … More → The post Security and complexity slow the next phase of enterprise AI agent adoption appeared first on Help Net Security.

Binding Operational Directive 26-02 sets deadlines for edge device replacement

In this Help Net Security video, Jen Sovada, General Manager, Public Sector at Claroty, explains CISA’s Binding Operational Directive 26-02 and what it means for federal agencies. The directive requires agencies to inventory, report, decommission, and replace unsupported edge devices such as firewalls, routers, switches, load balancers, and wireless access points. Unsupported devices don’t receive security updates. This makes them high risk entry points for attackers. Agencies must identify these devices within three months and … More → The post Binding Operational Directive 26-02 sets deadlines for edge device replacement appeared first on Help Net Security.
