Picus Security uses AI to turn threat intelligence into attack simulations

Picus Security launched new AI-powered breach and attack simulation (BAS) capabilities within the Picus Security Validation Platform. This introduces a new level of speed and intelligence, enabling security teams to create and simulate complex attack scenarios, validate the effectiveness of their defenses and prioritize actions that reduce real-world risk. The speed and scale of new threats have outpaced traditional approaches to validation. Even with automation, legacy BAS tools require lengthy setup and expert tuning to … More → The post Picus Security uses AI to turn threat intelligence into attack simulations appeared first on Help Net Security.

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.

The solar power boom opened a backdoor for cybercriminals

Solar isn’t low risk anymore. Adoption has turned inverters, aggregators, and control software into attack surfaces capable of disrupting service and undermining confidence in the transition. Cyber threats expose weak spots in solar power systems Until recently, security risks in solar systems received little attention. That is starting to change as awareness grows across the energy sector. In July 2024, the FBI issued an industry alert warning organizations about threats to renewable energy systems. Forecasts … More → The post The solar power boom opened a backdoor for cybercriminals appeared first on Help Net Security.
