Fixing vulnerability data quality requires fixing the architecture first

In this Help Net Security interview, Art Manion, Deputy Director at Tharros, examines why vulnerability data across repositories stays inconsistent and hard to trust. The problem starts with systems not designed to collect or manage that data well. They introduce the idea of Minimum Viable Vulnerability Enumeration (MVVE), a minimum set of assertions needed to confirm two systems describe the same vulnerability, and find no true minimum exists. Assertions vary by case and change over … More → The post Fixing vulnerability data quality requires fixing the architecture first appeared first on Help Net Security.

ZeroID: Open-source identity platform for autonomous AI agents

ZeroID is an open-source identity platform that implements an identity and credentialing layer specifically for autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The attribution problem The core issue ZeroID targets is attribution in agentic workflows. When an orchestrator agent spawns sub-agents to carry out parts of a task, each sub-agent may call APIs, write files, or execute shell commands. Existing approaches offer limited traceability: shared service accounts carry no delegation trail, and standard OAuth 2.0 and OIDC … More → The post ZeroID: Open-source identity platform for autonomous AI agents appeared first on Help Net Security.

MITRE releases a shared fraud-cyber framework built from real attack data

Financial fraud losses in the United States reached $16.6 billion in 2024, up from $4.2 billion in 2020. Behind those numbers is a structural problem: the teams responsible for stopping fraud, fraud investigators and cybersecurity analysts, have historically operated separately, using different tools, different terminology, and different mental models of how attacks unfold. The MITRE Fight Fraud Framework, known as F3, is a behavior-based model designed to give both teams a common structure for describing, … More → The post MITRE releases a shared fraud-cyber framework built from real attack data appeared first on Help Net Security.

Why manual certificate management is running out of time

In this video, John Murray, Senior Vice President of Sales at GlobalSign, explains what’s changing in the certificate industry and what companies need to do about it. Certificate validity periods are shrinking, which means companies will need to rotate certificates far more often than before. Small and mid-sized businesses are the most exposed. Smaller teams, more generalist staff, and manual processes won’t hold up as rotation speeds increase. Murray walks through what a certificate lifecycle … More → The post Why manual certificate management is running out of time appeared first on Help Net Security.
