IT talent looks the other way as wireless security incidents pile up

Enterprise wireless networks are supporting a growing mix of devices and applications, increasing operational demand and security exposure. The 2026 Cisco State of Wireless report reflects these conditions through rising incident rates, higher costs, and ongoing staffing challenges. Wireless investment continues to increase. Most organizations expanded spending over the past 5 years, and a large share expects further growth in the next several years. Expectations for returns are also rising, with more organizations anticipating stronger … More → The post IT talent looks the other way as wireless security incidents pile up appeared first on Help Net Security.

CISOs grapple with AI demands within flat budgets

Security spending continues to edge upward across large organizations, though the changes remain gradual and tightly managed. The 2026 RH-ISAC CISO Benchmark reflects a steady environment where budgets expand in small steps, even as AI becomes a routine part of security operations. Budget growth stays measured Spending levels increased during 2025 across both IT and security. Average IT spend as a share of revenue rose to 3.9% from 3.2% the year before. Security spend followed … More → The post CISOs grapple with AI demands within flat budgets appeared first on Help Net Security.

AI breakthrough cuts energy use by 100x while boosting accuracy

AI is consuming staggering amounts of energy—already over 10% of U.S. electricity—and the demand is only accelerating. Now, researchers have unveiled a radically more efficient approach that could slash AI energy use by up to 100× while actually improving accuracy. By combining neural networks with human-like symbolic reasoning, their system helps robots think more logically instead of relying on brute-force trial and error.

Scientists trap light in a layer 1,000x thinner than hair

Researchers have created a nanoscale structure that traps infrared light in a layer just 40 nanometers thick—over 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. By using a unique material with exceptional light-bending properties, they can confine and intensify light far beyond previous limits. This setup also dramatically boosts light conversion effects, turning infrared into visible blue light. The advance could pave the way for smaller, faster photonic technologies.

Truckloads of food are being wasted because computers won’t approve them

Modern food systems may look stable on the surface, but they are increasingly dependent on digital systems that can quietly become a major point of failure. Today, food must be “recognized” by databases and automated platforms to be transported, sold, or even released, meaning that if systems go down, food can effectively become unusable—even when it’s physically available.

Windows Security app gets Secure Boot certificate status indicators as 2026 expiration approaches

Microsoft’s Secure Boot certificates, issued in 2011, are approaching expiration in 2026. To help IT administrators track whether devices have received replacement certificates, Microsoft has added new status indicators to the Windows Security app, under Device security > Secure Boot. Updated 2023 certificates are being delivered automatically through Windows Update to consumer devices and some business devices. The new app indicators show whether a given device has received those updates, what its current certificate state … More → The post Windows Security app gets Secure Boot certificate status indicators as 2026 expiration approaches appeared first on Help Net Security.
