Entrust has introduced a new approach to preventing account takeover.

The Entrust Biometric Authentication solution brings identity-centric assurance to these critical interactions, helping organizations reduce fraud while delivering fast, easy end-user experiences. “Too many organizations are treating authentication as a login problem, but attackers have … More → The post Entrust uses biometrics to verify users during high-risk transactions appeared first on Help Net Security.

In this interview with Help Net Security, Mattias Geniar, CTO at Oh Dear, explains why most outages start quietly, as creeping latency or a slow rise in errors. He argues teams alert on the wrong things: absolute numbers instead of changes, isolated endpoints instead of real user outcomes. He covers alert fatigue, the DNS and certificate failures buried deep in the stack, the risk of leaning on one provider, and the mistakes tired engineers make … More → The post The uptime questions every engineering leader should ask this week appeared first on Help Net Security.

Plenty of people now type their security worries straight into a chatbot. A hacked account, a suspicious email, a stalker who might be tracking a phone, all of it lands in the same window someone would use to ask about dinner. A benchmark called HelpBench tests how well chatbots handle those moments, and the results give security professionals something to watch in what their users are being told. Researchers at University College London and Google … More → The post LLM security advice looks solid until you check the hard cases appeared first on Help Net Security.

Scoring AI hackers when there is no answer key

AI models are solving more and more of the offensive-cyber tests built to measure them. Once a model solves most of a benchmark, that benchmark runs out of room and says little about the best systems anymore. Many of those tests also lean on bugs that already have public writeups, so a strong score can come partly from a model repeating something it has read. FrontierCyber, a benchmark from the AI security lab Irregular, goes … More → The post Scoring AI hackers when there is no answer key appeared first on Help Net Security.
