Why security teams cannot rely solely on AI guardrails

In this Help Net Security interview, Dr. Peter Garraghan, CEO of Mindgard, discusses their research around vulnerabilities in the guardrails used to protect large AI models. The findings highlight how even billion-dollar LLMs can be bypassed using surprisingly simple techniques, including emojis. To defend against prompt injection, many LLMs are wrapped in guardrails that inspect and filter prompts. But these guardrails are typically AI-based classifiers themselves, and, as Mindgard’s study shows, they are just as … More → The post Why security teams cannot rely solely on AI guardrails appeared first on Help Net Security.

SPIRE is a graduated project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). It’s a production-ready implementation of the SPIFFE APIs that handles node and workload attestation to securely issue SVIDs to workloads and verify the SVIDs of other workloads, all based on a predefined set of conditions. SPIRE architecture and components Common use cases include securing service-to-service communication in microservices architectures, enabling zero trust networking, and supporting secure multi-cloud or hybrid cloud deployments. Organizations also … More → The post SPIRE: Toolchain of APIs for establishing trust between software systems appeared first on Help Net Security.

Layoffs pose a cybersecurity risk: Here’s why offboarding matters

In this Help Net Security video, Chase Doelling, Principal Strategist at JumpCloud, discusses the overlooked security risks associated with improper offboarding. Though many organizations focus on securely onboarding new employees, they often overlook the security risks associated with properly offboarding workers, especially when offboarding happens in mass and unexpectedly. The process of offboarding can be complex and urgent, often requiring IT teams to act quickly to deactivate access. However, many security teams are already stretched … More → The post Layoffs pose a cybersecurity risk: Here’s why offboarding matters appeared first on Help Net Security.

Despite drop in cyber claims, BEC keeps going strong

Ransomware claims stabilized in 2024 despite remaining the most costly and disruptive type of cyberattack, according to Coalition. 60% of 2024 claims originated from BEC and funds transfer fraud (FTF) incidents, with 29% of BEC events resulting in FTF. BEC claims severity increased 23% year-over-year (YoY) to an average loss of $35,000, primarily driven by a spike in the latter half of 2024. FTF claims frequency decreased 2% YoY in 2024 to 0.44% and has … More → The post Despite drop in cyber claims, BEC keeps going strong appeared first on Help Net Security.
