UK NCSC develops SilentGlass to shield HDMI and Display Ports from Cyber Attacks
The United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has introduced a new hardware-based solution called SilentGlass, designed to protect HDMI and display ports from potential cyberattacks. As modern workplaces increasingly rely on connected devices, these seemingly simple hardware interfaces have become overlooked entry points for malicious actors. Silentglass aims to close that gap by physically […]
How to Prepare for GenAI-Driven Threats and Ransomware Attacks: A SANS-Aligned Guide for CISOs
The cybersecurity landscape in 2025 is defined by two converging forces: the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) in cyberattacks and the continued dominance of ransomware as a service (RaaS). Attackers are now faster, more automated, and more precise—leveraging AI to scale phishing, evade detection, and exploit vulnerabilities. For Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), this creates […]
Universities and Schools were badly hit by Cyber Attacks in 2025
Cybersecurity threats targeting the education sector have risen sharply in recent years, and new findings highlight just how serious the situation has become. A study conducted by Quorum Cyber, a provider of Microsoft-focused security solutions, reveals that 2025 saw a significant escalation in cyberattacks against educational institutions worldwide. Universities, colleges, and schools—once considered relatively low-risk […]
Significance of Cyber Budgets in securing SMBs from Threats
In today’s increasingly digital environment, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are no longer flying under the radar of cybercriminals. In fact, they are often prime targets due to limited resources and comparatively weaker security frameworks. As threats grow in sophistication and frequency, establishing a dedicated cybersecurity budget is no longer optional—it is a critical component […]
How DHS shutdown triggers Cyber Security Threats
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plays a central role in protecting the United States from both physical and digital threats. When the agency faces a shutdown—often due to funding lapses or political gridlock—the consequences extend far beyond administrative inconvenience. One of the most critical and often overlooked risks is the increase in cybersecurity vulnerabilities. […]
Is cybersecurity in crypto wallets better on Apple iPhones or Android Smart Phones
For cryptocurrency wallets, iPhones are generally considered slightly more secure than most Android phones, mainly because of Apple’s tighter ecosystem and hardware security design. However, high-end Android devices can be just as secure if properly configured. The biggest risks often come from user behavior (phishing, fake apps, or leaked seed phrases) rather than the operating […]
How Schools should thwart AI powered Cyber Attacks
Artificial intelligence is transforming education — from adaptive learning platforms to automated administration. But the same technology is now being weaponized by cybercriminals. Schools, colleges, and universities have become prime targets for AI-powered cyber attacks due to limited IT budgets, large user bases, and vast stores of sensitive student data. From AI-generated phishing emails to […]
NVIDIA offers accelerated computing powered by AI to bolster cybersecurity across Operational Technology OT networks
Nvidia, long recognized as a pioneer in GPU innovation, is expanding its technological footprint beyond graphics and high-performance computing into the critical domain of cybersecurity. With the rapid convergence of artificial intelligence, accelerated computing, and edge processing, the company is now positioning itself as a key enabler of Operational Technology (OT) security. Its latest initiatives […]
U.S. Agriculture at Risk of Cyber Attacks: A New Front in National Security
These days, digital systems now support nearly every aspect of modern-day agriculture procedures. From precision irrigation and climate monitoring to supply chain logistics and financial transactions, U.S. farms rely on technology to operate efficiently. But as agriculture becomes more dependent on IT infrastructure, it also becomes more vulnerable to cyber threats — raising concerns that […]
SMEs are wrong to assume immunity from Cyberattacks, warns NCSC
Many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to operate under the belief that they are unlikely targets for cyberattacks. The prevailing assumption is that cybercriminals focus primarily on large corporations with deeper pockets and higher-profile data. However, this mindset is both dangerous and misguided, according to the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which is […]
