Testing AI in Defense – A New Kind of Security Challenge

Looking back at our engagement, I'm concerned that the pace of AI adoption in military will overtake our abilities to validate and verify such systems. If AI systems continue proving valuable, there is nothing that will stop their adoption, but ...

Polymorphic Viruses: The Shape-Shifting Malware Menace

Polymorphic viruses represent a turning point in malware history. These shape-shifting programs have shown that malicious code can be made highly adaptable, challenging the very foundations of signature-based security. We’ve examined how polymorphic malware works - using encryption, mutation engines, ...

Social Engineering – Greatest Information Security Risk

Social engineering doesn't have to be just a supporting process to obtain system access; it is could be even more dangerous when it is used as the main attack. We, information security defenders, rarely consider that risk. If you think ...

“Zero Tolerance” to “80-20” – Lazy Approaches to Cyber Risk

There is a new danger lurking in the information assets of countless organizations around the globe disguised by a plan devised to protect a large portion of those assets while failing miserably to protect the rest. Zero tolerance approach to ...

Information Security is not IT Security

Information security and IT security are often used interchangeably - even among experienced security professionals. While the two terms are related and share the common goal of protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) of information, there are significant differences ...

Quantum Snake Oil

Don’t get me wrong - as a techno-geek at heart, I love the science of quantum computing. One day, it will upend cryptography as we know it. We’ll have to transition to new algorithms. That day will come - but ...

The Lights Are Blinking Red, and Cyber Budgets Are Blinking Off

We finally got the enterprise to look at cybersecurity. The crash slammed the door on spend just as threats professionalized and the attack surface exploded. That’s the bad news. The good news: the first 90 days of disciplined basics still ...

Cyber-Kinetic Attacks: Safeguarding the Physical World from Digital Threats

Cyber-kinetic attacks are not science fiction but an emerging reality, as early incidents and government exercises have shown. This paper introduced the term to crystallize the concept that digital attacks can have deadly real-world effects. We have outlined how the ...
