Enterprise SIEMs miss 79% of known MITRE ATT&CK techniques

Using the MITRE ATT&CK framework as a baseline, organizations are generally improving year-over-year in understanding security information and event management (SIEM) detection coverage and quality, but plenty of room for improvement remains, according to CardinalOps. MITRE ATT&CK enhances SOC visibility Founded in 2013, the framework’s underlying goal remains unchanged–to help defenders align their defenses and prepare to detect and prevent a wide range of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) observed in real-life attack scenarios. Mapping … More → The post Enterprise SIEMs miss 79% of known MITRE ATT&CK techniques appeared first on Help Net Security.

Employees repeatedly fall for vendor email compromise attacks

In just 12 months, attackers attempted to steal more than $300 million via vendor email compromise (VEC), with 7% of engagements coming from employees who had engaged with a previous attack, according to Abnormal AI. Vendor email compromise risks increase with organization size Employees struggle to differentiate between legitimate messages and attacks, especially when those emails appear to come from a trusted vendor. Employees in the largest organizations, with workforces of 50,000 or more, had … More → The post Employees repeatedly fall for vendor email compromise attacks appeared first on Help Net Security.

Photonic quantum chips are making AI smarter and greener

A team of researchers has shown that even small-scale quantum computers can enhance machine learning performance, using a novel photonic quantum circuit. Their findings suggest that today s quantum technology isn t just experimental it can already outperform classical systems in specific tasks. Notably, this photonic approach could also drastically reduce energy consumption, offering a sustainable path forward as machine learning s power needs soar.

How outdated phones can power smart cities and save the seas

In a world where over a billion smartphones are produced yearly, a team of researchers is flipping the script on electronic waste. Instead of tossing out older phones, they ve demonstrated a groundbreaking approach: turning outdated smartphones into micro data centers. This low-cost innovation (just 8 euros per phone) offers practical applications from tracking bus passengers to monitoring marine life without needing new tech.

This “robot bird” flies at 45 mph through forests—With no GPS or light

Unlike birds, which navigate unknown environments with remarkable speed and agility, drones typically rely on external guidance or pre-mapped routes. However, a groundbreaking development by Professor Fu Zhang and researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Faculty of Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), has enabled drones and micro air vehicles (MAVs) to emulate the flight capabilities of birds more closely than ever before.

Scientists built a transistor that could leave silicon in the dust

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They’ve created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium oxide with a novel “gate-all-around” structure. By precisely engineering the material’s atomic structure, the new device achieves remarkable electron mobility and stability. This breakthrough could fuel faster, more reliable electronics powering future technologies from AI to big data systems.
