OpenAEV: Open-source adversarial exposure validation platform

OpenAEV is an open source platform designed to plan, run, and review cyber adversary simulation campaigns used by security teams. The project focuses on organizing exercises that blend technical actions with operational and human response elements, all managed through a single system. Scenarios as the foundation At the core of OpenAEV is the concept of a scenario. A scenario defines a threat context and turns it into a structured plan made up of events called … More → The post OpenAEV: Open-source adversarial exposure validation platform appeared first on Help Net Security.

Understanding AI insider risk before it becomes a problem

In this Help Net Security video, Greg Pollock, Head of Research and Insights at UpGuard, discusses AI use inside organizations and the risks tied to insiders. He explains two problems. One involves employees who use AI tools to speed up work but share data with unapproved services. The other involves hostile actors who use AI to gain trusted roles inside companies. Pollock walks through research showing how common unapproved AI use has become, including among … More → The post Understanding AI insider risk before it becomes a problem appeared first on Help Net Security.

AI may not need massive training data after all

New research shows that AI doesn’t need endless training data to start acting more like a human brain. When researchers redesigned AI systems to better resemble biological brains, some models produced brain-like activity without any training at all. This challenges today’s data-hungry approach to AI development. The work suggests smarter design could dramatically speed up learning while slashing costs and energy use.

Beyond silicon: These shape-shifting molecules could be the future of AI hardware

Scientists have developed molecular devices that can switch roles, behaving as memory, logic, or learning elements within the same structure. The breakthrough comes from precise chemical design that lets electrons and ions reorganize dynamically. Unlike conventional electronics, these devices do not just imitate intelligence but physically encode it. This approach could reshape how future AI hardware is built.

What shadow AI means for SaaS security and integrations

In this Help Net Security video, Jaime Blasco, CTO at Nudge Security, discusses why shadow AI matters to security teams. He describes how AI adoption happens in two ways, through company led programs and through employees choosing tools on their own. That second path often happens without oversight, which creates risk when data, systems, or production environments are involved. Blasco walks through why security teams need visibility into AI tools, SaaS platforms, and the integrations … More → The post What shadow AI means for SaaS security and integrations appeared first on Help Net Security.

From experiment to production, AI settles into embedded software development

AI-generated code is already running inside devices that control power grids, medical equipment, vehicles, and industrial plants. AI moves from experiment to production AI tools have become standard in embedded development workflows. More than 80% of respondents to a new RunSafe Security survey say they currently use AI to assist with tasks such as code generation, testing, or documentation. Another 20% say they are actively evaluating AI. No respondents report avoiding AI entirely. The study … More → The post From experiment to production, AI settles into embedded software development appeared first on Help Net Security.

What if AI becomes conscious and we never know

A philosopher at the University of Cambridge says there’s no reliable way to know whether AI is conscious—and that may remain true for the foreseeable future. According to Dr. Tom McClelland, consciousness alone isn’t the ethical tipping point anyway; sentience, the capacity to feel good or bad, is what truly matters. He argues that claims of conscious AI are often more marketing than science, and that believing in machine minds too easily could cause real harm. The safest stance for now, he says, is honest uncertainty.

Duplicati: Free, open-source backup client

Duplicati is an open source backup client that creates encrypted, incremental, compressed backup sets and sends them to cloud storage services or remote file servers. What the project is and where it runs Duplicati operates as a client side application designed to back up files and folders from endpoints and servers. It runs locally, collects selected data, packages it into backup volumes, and transfers those volumes to a configured destination. Restore operations support individual files, … More → The post Duplicati: Free, open-source backup client appeared first on Help Net Security.
