How AI agents reshape industrial automation and risk management

In this Help Net Security interview, Michael Metzler, Vice President Horizontal Management Cybersecurity for Digital Industries at Siemens, discusses the cybersecurity implications of deploying AI agents in industrial environments. He talks about the risks that come with AI agents making semi-autonomous decisions, and why a layered security approach like Defense-in-Depth is key to keeping industrial systems safe. What are the implications of an AI agent being compromised in a critical infrastructure environment, such as an … More → The post How AI agents reshape industrial automation and risk management appeared first on Help Net Security.

How well do you know your remote IT worker?

Is the remote IT worker you recently hired really who he says he is? Fake IT workers are slipping into companies around the world, gaining access to sensitive data. Recently, more of these schemes have been linked to North Korea. They don’t just steal crypto or deliver malware. Now, they log into your systems as employees. This is no longer just a cybersecurity issue, it’s a growing geopolitical threat. There may be hundreds of thousands … More → The post How well do you know your remote IT worker? appeared first on Help Net Security.

4.5% of breaches now extend to fourth parties

Security teams can no longer afford to treat third-party security as a compliance checkbox, according to SecurityScorecard. Traditional vendor risk assessments, conducted annually or quarterly, are too slow to detect active threats. 35.5% of all breaches in 2024 were third-party related, a 6.5% increase from 2023. This figure is likely conservative due to underreporting and misclassification. So while you’re updating your firewall rules, somewhere in your supply chain a vendor might be inadvertently letting in … More → The post 4.5% of breaches now extend to fourth parties appeared first on Help Net Security.

Quantum eyes on energy loss: Diamond quantum imaging for next-gen power electronics

Diamond quantum sensors can be used to analyze the magnetization response of soft magnetic materials used in power electronics; report scientists based on collaborative research. Using a novel imaging technique, they developed quantum protocols to simultaneously image both the amplitude and phase of AC stray fields over a wide frequency range up to 2.3 MHz. Their results demonstrate that quantum sensing is a powerful tool for developing advanced magnetic materials across diverse applications.

3D printers leave hidden ‘fingerprints’ that reveal part origins

A new artificial intelligence system pinpoints the origin of 3D printed parts down to the specific machine that made them. The technology could allow manufacturers to monitor their suppliers and manage their supply chains, detecting early problems and verifying that suppliers are following agreed upon processes.
