Sovereign AI places responsibility for every layer of the security stack in the operator's hands, and this article examines the threats that accompany that shift alongside the practical controls that keep nationally owned AI systems trustworthy.
TrendAI™ Research's investigation of ICS protocols near U.S. data centers uncovered thousands of vulnerable devices controlling critical cooling, power, and environmental infrastructure. These systems—designed for operational efficiency, not security—were accessible from the public internet.
This final installment of our trilogy on Pwning Agentic AI covers defenses against the return-to-tool (RTT) attacks—read-only Postgres bypass, support-ticket ransomware, and KYC passport exfiltration—demonstrated in Part II. Here we take a look at what works and what doesn’t against this new class of attack.
Radio frequency (RF) technology is being used in operations to control various industrial machines. However, the lack of implemented security in RF communication protocols could lead to production sabotage, system control, and unauthorized access.
Fileless threats aren’t as visible compared to traditional malware and employ a variety of techniques to stay persistent. Here's a closer look at how fileless malware work and what can be done to thwart them.
We looked into MQTT brokers and CoAP servers around the world to assess IoT protocol security. Learn how to prevent risks and secure machine-to-machine (M2M) communications over MQTT and CoAP in our research.
A Node.js module with nearly two million downloads a week was compromised after the library was injected with malicious code programmed to steal bitcoins in wallet apps.
We recently encountered a cryptocurrency-mining malware affecting Linux systems. It is notable for being bundled with a rootkit component that hides the malicious process’ presence from monitoring tools.
Securing energy and water should remain top priority in the continuing integration of the industrial internet of things in these critical sectors.
The average organization takes over 30 days to patch operating systems and software, and longer for more complex business applications and systems. This infographic shows how virtual patching solutions can help mitigate threats from vulnerabilities.
Security researchers came across a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) rootkit in the wild being used for cyberespionage. Named LoJax, the rootkit is reportedly packaged with other tools that modifies the system’s firmware to infect it with malware.
We discovered spam mails abusing EGG (.egg) files to deliver the GandCrab v4.3 ransomware. Additionally, the operators behind the spam mails appear to be specifically going after South Korean users, as evidenced by the use of Hangul in the spam mails.
Data breaches take time and a lot of effort to pull off, but successful breaches can affect not just organizations, but also millions of people. Learn what a data breach is, what types of data is usually stolen, and what happens to stolen data.
