The cryptocurrency sector faces an existential threat on two fronts: none of the 2,138 web applications and 146 mobile apps tested by ImmuniWeb support post-quantum encryption, and more than 7.8 million user records are already circulating on the dark …
The OpenSSL Project has announced the release of OpenSSL 3.6.0, a feature update that brings significant functionality improvements, standards compliance, and a few key deprecations that developers and security teams will need to keep in mind. Key cryp…
Google has rolled out AI-powered ransomware detection and file restoration features in Drive for desktop, Google’s official file syncing and access app for Windows and macOS. Currently in open beta, this new layer of defense is not meant to stop …
Today’s world requires us to make complex and nuanced decisions about our digital security. Evaluating when to use a secure messaging app like Signal or WhatsApp, which passwords to store on your smartphone, or what to share on social media requires us to assess risks and make judgments accordingly. Arriving at any conclusion is an exercise in threat modeling.
In security, threat modeling is the process of determining what security measures make sense in your particular situation. It’s a way to think about potential risks, possible defenses, and the costs of both. It’s how experts avoid being distracted by irrelevant risks or overburdened by undue costs…
Cybersecurity professionals have spent decades building digital fortresses with mathematical locks that felt unbreakable. Quantum computing is rewriting the rules. The emergence of quantum computing presents a critical threat to classical cryptographic systems. It endangers the security of current digital communication frameworks. Most experts now believe a cryptographically relevant quantum computer will likely emerge in […]

Nearly 500 scientists and researchers have signed an open letter warning that the latest version of the EU’s Chat Control Proposal would weaken digital security while failing to deliver meaningful protection for children. The signatories represent 34 c…
From emailing vendors to communicating with team members, serious business happens in the inbox. That’s why it’s critical to secure it. These TechRepublic Premium resources can help.
Authentication and cryptography are two essential security controls that protect sensitive data and systems. Authentication helps verify who can access information, while cryptography protects data whether it is stored or transmitted over ne…
I wrote about this in 2023. Here’s the story:
Three Dutch security analysts discovered the vulnerabilities—five in total—in a European radio standard called TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio), which is used in radios made by Motorola, Damm, Hytera, and others. The standard has been used in radios since the ’90s, but the flaws remained unknown because encryption algorithms used in TETRA were kept secret until now.
There’s new news:
In 2023, Carlo Meijer, Wouter Bokslag, and Jos Wetzels of security firm Midnight Blue, based in the Netherlands, discovered vulnerabilities in encryption algorithms that are part of a European radio standard created by ETSI called TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio), which has been baked into radio systems made by Motorola, Damm, Sepura, and others since the ’90s. The flaws remained unknown publicly until their disclosure, because ETSI refused for decades to let anyone examine the proprietary algorithms…
Tech giants have received a letter from the FTC urging them not to weaken security and privacy at the request of foreign governments.
