What if your privacy tools could learn as they go?

A new academic study proposes a way to design privacy mechanisms that can make use of prior knowledge about how data is distributed, even when that information is incomplete. The method allows privacy guarantees to stay mathematically sound while improving how much useful information can be shared. Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and Inria Saclay in France developed the framework using a measure called pointwise maximal leakage, or PML. Their approach … More → The post What if your privacy tools could learn as they go? appeared first on Help Net Security.

Scientists build artificial neurons that work like real ones

UMass Amherst engineers have built an artificial neuron powered by bacterial protein nanowires that functions like a real one, but at extremely low voltage. This allows for seamless communication with biological cells and drastically improved energy efficiency. The discovery could lead to bio-inspired computers and wearable electronics that no longer need power-hungry amplifiers. Future applications may include sensors powered by sweat or devices that harvest electricity from thin air.

Yet despite these significant investments, attackers continue to exploit misconfigurations, untested rules, and hidden dependencies that slip through even the most mature and technically sophisticated environments. For most businesses, the issue is not a lack of technology but misplaced confidence in that technology’s performance. Security teams often assume that deployed controls are … More → The post Security validation: The key to maximizing ROI from security investments appeared first on Help Net Security.

What Chat Control means for your privacy

The EU’s proposed Chat Control (CSAM Regulation) aims to combat child sexual abuse material by requiring digital platforms to detect, report, and remove illegal content, including grooming behaviors. Cybersecurity experts warn that such measures could undermine encryption, create new attack surfaces, and erode user privacy. In this Help Net Security interview, Benjamin Schilz, CEO at Wire, discusses the Chat Control cybersecurity and privacy risks. He explains that mandated scanning mechanisms are incompatible with end-to-end encryption … More → The post What Chat Control means for your privacy appeared first on Help Net Security.
