The compliance illusion: Why your company might be at risk despite passing audits

For many CISOs, compliance can feel like a necessary evil and a false sense of security. While frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS offer structured guidelines, they don’t automatically equate to strong cybersecurity. The challenge? Many organizations focus on checking the compliance box rather than ensuring their controls are effective. The problem isn’t compliance itself, it’s the mindset. Too often, security teams scramble to pass an audit, only to return to business … More → The post The compliance illusion: Why your company might be at risk despite passing audits appeared first on Help Net Security.

How enterprise leaders can secure and govern agentic AI

In this Help Net Security video, Nataraj Nagaratnam, an IBM Fellow and CTO for Cloud Security, discusses enterprises’ steps to lay a secure foundation for agentic AI deployments. Recent research from IBM and Morning Consult shows that 99% of developers explore or develop AI agents, but this technology heightens cybersecurity and regulatory compliance concerns. Enterprises underestimate the complexity of the AI stack and development lifecycle. Underneath every sleek, intuitive AI application is a complex and … More → The post How enterprise leaders can secure and govern agentic AI appeared first on Help Net Security.

Mesoporous silicon: Semiconductor with new talents

Silicon is the best-known semiconductor material. However, controlled nanostructuring drastically alters the material’s properties. Using a specially developed etching apparatus, a team has now produced mesoporous silicon layers with countless tiny pores and investigated their electrical and thermal conductivity. For the first time, the researchers elucidated the electronic transport mechanism in this mesoporous silicon. The material has great potential for applications and could also be used to thermally insulate qubits for quantum computers.

A completely new type of microscopy based on quantum sensors

Researchers have invented an entirely new field of microscopy — nuclear spin microscopy. The team can visualize magnetic signals of nuclear magnetic resonance with a microscope. Quantum sensors convert the signals into light, enabling extremely high-resolution optical imaging.

A new model accurately predicts the movement of elite athletes to catch the ball in parabolic flight

How does a tennis player like Carlos Alcaraz decide where to run to return Novak Djokovic’s ball by just looking at the ball’s initial position? These behaviours, so common in elite athletes, are difficult to explain with current computational models, which assume that the players must continuously follow the ball with their eyes. Now, researchers have developed a model that, by combining optical variables with environmental factors such as gravity, accurately predicts how a person will move to catch a moving object just from an initial glance. These results could have potential applications in fields such as robotics, sports training or even space exploration.
