In an open letter earlier this month, the Cybersecurity Coalition outlined what it says are four key areas the White House and Congress need to address to strengthen the nation's cybersecurity posture, from giving security agencies the necessary staffing and technology to renewing existing programs and creating new frameworks to reengaging with the private sector. Given this, it's imperative that the executive and legislative branches of government dedicate "the necessary attention and resources to protect Americans and safeguard U.S. economic…...

The update introduces real-time evidence streaming and compliance mapping, directly addressing the manual burden of audit preparation that costs organizations 30-40 hours per audit cycle. Automating the Manual Evidence Chase Organizations preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS v4.0 audits traditionally spend dozens of hours manually collecting security evidence'exporting reports, capturing screenshots, and mapping findings to compliance controls. This approach creates outdated evidence, doesn't scale across frameworks, and fails to prove continuous monitoring. Quttera's API converts threat detection into structured JSON with embedded compliance metadata, mapping findings to controls across SOC 2 (CC6.1, CC7.2), PCI DSS v4.0 (Requirements 6.4.3, 11.6.1), ISO 27001, and GDPR simultaneously. Addressing…...

Such account takeover (ATO) scams are part of a larger and aggressive assault on identities and credentials as threat actors look to take advantage of human behavior through such social engineering techniques as texts, calls, and emails, as well as through fraudulent websites, according to the FBI. They will pretend to be part of a financial institution's staff or website to obtain access to the accounts. "The cyber criminals target individuals, businesses, and organizations of varied sizes and across sectors," the law enforcement agency wrote in the warning. "In ATO…...

3+ day, 17+ hour ago (430+ words) Session 4B: Audio Security Authors, Creators & Presenters: PAPER VoiceRadar: Voice Deepfake Detection using Micro-Frequency And Compositional Analysis Recent advancements in synthetic speech generation, including text-to-speech (TTS) and voice conversion (VC) models, allow the generation of convincing synthetic voices, often referred to as audio deepfakes. These deepfakes pose a growing threat as adversaries can use them to impersonate individuals, particularly prominent figures, on social media or bypass voice authentication systems, thus having a broad societal impact. The inability of state-of-the-art verification systems to detect voice deepfakes effectively is alarming. We propose a novel audio deepfake detection method, VoiceRadar, that augments machine learning with physical models to approximate frequency dynamics and oscillations in audio samples. This significantly enhances detection capabilities. VoiceRadar leverages two main physical models: (i) the Doppler effect to understand frequency changes in audio samples and (ii) drumhead vibrations to decompose complex audio signals…...

After surveying more than 14,000 consumers across 15 countries, the findings are clear: no sector earned high trust ratings from even half its users. Most industries are seeing trust erode " or, at best, stagnate. In an era where our lives are increasingly shaped by digital interactions, this widening trust gap isn't just a reputational risk. It threatens brand loyalty, customer retention, and long-term business resilience. While there are arguments about the benefits of balancing security, privacy, and experience, this year's report highlights that not everything works just as smoothly. In fact, customers are overwhelmed and feel the onus of being responsible for running the relationship with businesses. "Users are being asked to: This…...

3+ day, 20+ hour ago (509+ words) As AI platforms grow more complex and interdependent, small failures can cast long shadows. The circumstances around the CrewAI flaw, which Noma Security identified and disclosed,show how easily a token can be exposed through standard software development. The token in the CrewAI case held administrative rights, which meant that anyone who obtained it could review source code, modify repositories, interfere with automation workflows, or extract additional secrets stored in configuration files or historical directories. A token with that scope operates as a privileged non-human identity, and the reach of such identities often grows wider than teams intend. Some remain in place for long periods because pipelines need constant access. Others gather additional permissions over time as development expands and new components are added. Tokens with this level of influence create fragility in the software supply chain. They connect to…...
