The confidence trap holding security back

Security leaders often feel prepared for a major cyber incident, but performance data shows a different reality. Teams continue to miss key steps during practice scenarios, and the gap between confidence and capability keeps growing. Findings from Immersive’s Cyber Workforce Benchmark Report show the habits that hold readiness back and the areas security leaders must address to make progress. Confidence keeps rising while capability stalls Most organizations now describe their readiness programs as mature. Boards … More → The post The confidence trap holding security back appeared first on Help Net Security.

Quantum computers just simulated physics too complex for supercomputers

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical computers cannot handle. The achievement demonstrates a new path toward simulating particle collisions and extreme forms of matter. It may ultimately illuminate long-standing cosmic mysteries.

Nanoscale trick makes “dark excitons” glow 300,000 times stronger

Researchers have found a way to make “dark excitons”—normally invisible quantum states of light—shine dramatically brighter by trapping them inside a tiny gold-nanotube optical cavity. This breakthrough boosts their emission 300,000-fold and allows scientists to switch and tune them with unprecedented precision. The work unlocks new possibilities for ultrafast photonics, on-chip quantum communication, and exploring previously unreachable quantum states in 2D materials.

When IT fails, OT pays the price

State groups, criminal crews, and hybrid operators are all using familiar IT entry points to reach systems that support industrial processes, according to the latest Operational Technology Threat Report from Trellix. The report covers attacks observed from April through September 2025 and describes a pattern of coordinated activity that blends espionage, criminal extortion, and cyber operations linked to geopolitical conflict. A concentrated target landscape Manufacturing accounted for 41.5% of detections, and transportation and shipping accounted … More → The post When IT fails, OT pays the price appeared first on Help Net Security.
