Superconductivity breakthrough could unlock ultra-efficient electronics

A clever nanoscale redesign may have solved one of superconductivity’s biggest problems. Researchers in Sweden discovered that by subtly sculpting the surface beneath an ultrathin superconducting material, they could make it stay superconducting at higher temperatures and under much stronger magnetic fields.

New plasma trick could unlock smaller, more powerful computer chips

A new technique could solve one of the biggest challenges in making future computer chips from ultrathin materials. Researchers found that coating molybdenum disulfide with oxygen or fluorine lets manufacturers remove just the top layer of atoms much more safely during plasma processing. The result is a cleaner, more controlled path toward smaller and more capable electronics.

Fortinet FortiSOC unifies SIEM, SOAR, threat intelligence, and AI in one platform

Fortinet has announced the availability of FortiSOC, a unified, cloud-delivered security operations center (SOC) platform. FortiSOC brings together six security operations functions into a single Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) experience and embeds agentic AI to autonomously investigate and correlate alerts across assets and identities, then recommend or execute response actions under analyst oversight. Built on Fortinet’s proven security operations (SecOps) technologies, FortiSOC helps organizations simplify and scale modern operations through one console, one subscription, and one unified … More → The post Fortinet FortiSOC unifies SIEM, SOAR, threat intelligence, and AI in one platform appeared first on Help Net Security.

The SOC’s visibility gap comes down to staffing

AI has settled into security operations centers faster than any earlier wave of technology. Around four in five practitioners report reaching for AI or machine learning tools in their daily work. The catch shows up one layer down. Roughly a third of those same teams have built these tools into a defined workflow with structure, governance, and consistent validation. The rest pick up AI on their own, case by case, with no shared playbook for … More → The post The SOC’s visibility gap comes down to staffing appeared first on Help Net Security.

Microsoft AntiSSRF open-source library helps block server-side request forgery

AntiSSRF is an open-source code library from Microsoft that validates URLs and network connections to reduce server-side request forgery (SSRF) risks in web applications. It supports .NET and Node.js applications and is distributed under the MIT license. The library works as a drop-in component, giving developers a way to check untrusted input before their applications make outbound requests. What the library targets Server-side request forgery is a web security vulnerability in which an attacker manipulates … More → The post Microsoft AntiSSRF open-source library helps block server-side request forgery appeared first on Help Net Security.

Navigating SEC, NIS2, and DORA incident disclosure timelines under pressure

In this Help Net Security video, Rick Goud, Global Field CTO at Kiteworks, discusses how to handle SEC, NIS2, and DORA disclosure timelines during a security incident. He opens with a 3.47 a.m. call: the team cannot confirm whether customer data left the environment, yet three regulators each start their own clock. Goud walks through a realistic example of a public company operating in Europe with financial services, showing how the rules ask different questions … More → The post Navigating SEC, NIS2, and DORA incident disclosure timelines under pressure appeared first on Help Net Security.

The checklist problem behind critical infrastructure cyber safety

An asset owner can meet major federal cyber compliance standards and still run equipment that lacks the engineering to withstand an attack or a failure. New research from George Mason University examines how United States cyber policy defines reasonable care for systems that control physical processes, and it finds that compliance has become a stand-in for safety. The work covers operational technology in critical infrastructure: industrial controls, medical devices, transportation systems, and building automation, where … More → The post The checklist problem behind critical infrastructure cyber safety appeared first on Help Net Security.
