The CISO’s bookshelf: 10 must-reads for security leaders

Discover essential reads for CISOs in this curated list of books covering cybersecurity leadership, risk management, zero trust, board communication, and more. Why CISOs Fail, 2nd Edition Author: Barak Engel Barak Engel expands on the ideas from his original 2017 book, offering a fresh perspective on why security leaders struggle to make a lasting impact. With a central thesis that security is more about human behavior than technology, Engel challenges traditional views of cybersecurity management. … More → The post The CISO’s bookshelf: 10 must-reads for security leaders appeared first on Help Net Security.

89% of enterprise AI usage is invisible to the organization

Organizations have zero visibility into 89% of AI usage, despite security policies according to a LayerX report. 71% of connections to GenAI tools are done using personal non-corporate accounts. Among logins using corporate accounts, 58% of connections are done without Single-Sign On (SSO). These interactions bypass organizational identity and access management (IAM) systems, leaving security teams blind to how GenAI tools are used and what data is being shared. Casual GenAI users unaware of data … More → The post 89% of enterprise AI usage is invisible to the organization appeared first on Help Net Security.

The quest for room-temperature superconductors

Theoretical physicists reveal that room-temperature superconductivity is possible within the laws of our Universe, linked to fundamental constants like electron mass and Planck constant. Discovery could revolutionize energy, quantum computing, and medical tech by enabling superconductors to work at ambient conditions. Research explores how varying fundamental constants could alter superconductivity limits, offering a glimpse into the delicate balance of our Universe.

DShield Traffic Analysis using ELK, (Thu, Mar 6th)

Using the Kibana interface, sometimes it can be difficult to find traffic of interest since there can be so much of it. The 3 logs used for traffic analysis are cowrie, webhoneypot and the firewall logs. Other options to add to the honeypot are packet capture, netflow and Zeek.

Neural network deciphers gravitational waves from merging neutron stars in a second

Binary neutron star mergers emit gravitational waves followed by light. To fully exploit these observations and avoid missing key signals, speed is crucial. An interdisciplinary team of researchers presents a novel machine learning method that can analyze gravitational waves emitted by neutron star collisions almost instantaneously — even before the merger is fully observed. A neural network processes the data and enables a fast search for visible light and other electromagnetic signals emitted during the collisions. This new method could be instrumental in preparing the field for the next generation of observatories.
