You may have noticed that cyberattacks on critical infrastructure have been on the uptick in recent months. Targets have ranged from a water treatment facility in Florida, which ultimately failed, to the Colonial Pipeline, which succeeded in...
We talk about buffer overflows a lot. So much so, it almost seems silly to be writing another article dedicated to this software vulnerability. But, it’s worth driving the point home: buffer overflows are one of the most dangerous software...
In March 2021, Arm announced the release of its new Armv9 architecture. The first new architecture in a decade, Armv9 includes new security features—from compartmentalization to memory safety to pointer authentication.
Edge computing is simply the processing of data closer to the data source—instead of relying on the cloud or a centralized data center to do the computing. Edge devices compute data locally and provide an efficient means of transmitting and...
In Microsoft’s white paper, Seven Properties of Highly Secure Devices, Microsoft researchers outline the seven “must-haves” for devices that claim security and safety. As argued in the paper, all too often security is sacrificed in the name of...
As 5G continues to roll out across the globe, it promises a hyperconnected world with fast downloads and low latency. These benefits of 5G in turn mean more complex systems—AI powered systems like smart cities and autonomous vehicles—are no...
Before we can begin to tackle the cybersecurity issues created by the introduction of 5G, it’s important to first understand what exactly 5G is. Don’t worry, it’s wavelengths don’t damage your immune system, nor is it responsible for the spread...
There are three guarantees in life: death, taxes, and that software will have vulnerabilities. Through countless tests and studies, it has time and again been proven that for every thousand lines of code, there will be an average of between ...
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are increasingly being integrated into our everyday lives. Smart thermostats use AI to learn our schedules and adjust temperatures, AI applications in self-driving cars enable them to navigate and respond...
There is perhaps no cyberattack more infamous or dangerous than the 2009 Stuxnet attack. It was the first ever weaponized cyberattack.
