Edge computing is spreading fast, from factory floors to remote infrastructure. But many of these systems are hard to maintain once they are deployed. Devices may run old kernels, custom board support packages, or stacks that no one can rebuild years l…
Yubico’s upcoming YubiKey 5.8 firmware introduces standardized APIs that integrate hardware-backed signatures with passkey authentication. To enable privacy-capable digital signatures using passkeys, expanded enterprise IdP support, and next-generation…
Enterprise storage environments already run long qualification cycles as solid-state drive capacities rise and validation teams try to mirror production workloads. Preconditioning steps now consume days of lab time for a single device, especially in da…
To give users peace of mind, Ring has introduced a new content authenticity feature that allows them to verify whether a Ring video has been edited or altered. Ring Verify adds a digital security seal that breaks if the video is changed in any way. “Th…
Debian now runs on the OpenWrt One hardware platform following recent engineering work by Collabora. OpenWrt One is a developer focused router designed to support embedded Linux work on standardized hardware. The platform serves as a reference device f…
Security teams that deal with connected devices often end up running long firmware scans overnight, checking progress in the morning, and trying to explain to colleagues why a single image consumed a workday of compute time. That routine sets the conte…
In this Help Net Security interview, Sonia Kumar, Senior Director Cyber Security at Analog Devices, discusses how securing decentralized smart grids demands a shift in defensive strategy. Millions of distributed devices are reshaping the attack surface…
What really counts as a hard drive failure? That’s the question at the center of Backblaze’s Q3 2025 Drive Stats report, which tracks the performance of 328,348 hard drives across its global data centers. The latest findings build on more than a decade…
Encryption can protect data at rest and data in transit, but does nothing for data in use. What we have are secure enclaves. I’ve written about this before:
Almost all cloud services have to perform some computation on our data. Even the simplest storage provider has code to copy bytes from an internal storage system and deliver them to the user. End-to-end encryption is sufficient in such a narrow context. But often we want our cloud providers to be able to perform computation on our raw data: search, analysis, AI model training or fine-tuning, and more. Without expensive, esoteric techniques, such as secure multiparty computation protocols or homomorphic encryption techniques that can perform calculations on encrypted data, cloud servers require access to the unencrypted data to do anything useful…
Imagine walking into a secure building where the door unlocks the moment your hand hovers near it. No keycards, no PINs, no fingerprints. Instead, the system identifies you by the way your palm distorts the surrounding Wi-Fi signal. That is the idea be…
