One thing not often thought of is the lowly crash test dummy. Traditionally, crash test dummies were modeled after male bodies leading to vehicle safety standards and designs being disproportionately geared towards protecting male passengers. As a result, studies found that women and children suffered more significant injuries more frequently in car crashes. Similarly, [...]

In today’s evolving digital landscape, cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeting organizations of all sizes. Traditional security measures struggle to keep up with the sheer volume and complexity of modern cyberattacks. To counter these challenges, businesses need a proactive, AI-driven security solution that offers real-time threat detection, automated responses, and comprehensive security analytics. Seceon’s

This is a truly fascinating paper: “Trusted Machine Learning Models Unlock Private Inference for Problems Currently Infeasible with Cryptography.” The basic idea is that AIs can act as trusted third parties:

Abstract: We often interact with untrusted parties. Prioritization of privacy can limit the effectiveness of these interactions, as achieving certain goals necessitates sharing private data. Traditionally, addressing this challenge has involved either seeking trusted intermediaries or constructing cryptographic protocols that restrict how much data is revealed, such as multi-party computations or zero-knowledge proofs. While significant advances have been made in scaling cryptographic approaches, they remain limited in terms of the size and complexity of applications they can be used for. In this paper, we argue that capable machine learning models can fulfill the role of a trusted third party, thus enabling secure computations for applications that were previously infeasible. In particular, we describe Trusted Capable Model Environments (TCMEs) as an alternative approach for scaling secure computation, where capable machine learning model(s) interact under input/output constraints, with explicit information flow control and explicit statelessness. This approach aims to achieve a balance between privacy and computational efficiency, enabling private inference where classical cryptographic solutions are currently infeasible. We describe a number of use cases that are enabled by TCME, and show that even some simple classic cryptographic problems can already be solved with TCME. Finally, we outline current limitations and discuss the path forward in implementing them...

The Shift from Compliance-Driven GRC to Dynamic Cyber Risk Management

The world of cybersecurity has undergone a dramatic transformation, moving beyond simple checklists and technical jargon. The focus has shifted from siloed governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) exercises to cyber risk management that aligns security with business priorities. This transition was a key topic in the recent webinar, The Next-Gen CISO’s Guide to Cyber ROI, where experts discussed how organizations must adopt a risk-first mindset rather than a compliance-driven approach.
