To support our customers in securing their generative AI workloads on Amazon Web Services (AWS), we are excited to announce the launch of a new AWS Skill Builder course: Securing Generative AI on AWS. This comprehensive course is designed to help security professionals, architects, and artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) engineers understand and implement…

Quantum computers need a “clean” workspace, and a team including scientists at NIST has found a way to make one. Go to Source

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SonicWall SonicOS that could allow for authentication bypass. SonicOS is SonicWall’s operating system designed for their firewalls and other security devices. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for authentication bypass on the affected system. Depending on the privileges associated with the system, an attacker could…

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ivanti Products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is a client-based unified endpoint management software. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for remote code execution in the context of the system.   Ivanti Connect Secure is…

Two weeks. That’s how long your organization will have to prepare if you face a NIS 2 compliance audit. In those two weeks (just 10 working days), you’ll need to collate a huge amount of evidence to show you’re meeting minimum security standards. We’re talking about risk assessment records, an overview of all your security…

At the time of writing, there are hundreds of thousands of publicly known vulnerabilities. These range from critical flaws that could cause irreparable damage if exploited to low-severity issues that might seem barely even worth bothering with. With vulnerability management, the challenge is knowing which is which.  With so many vulnerabilities across operating systems, networks, software,…

The LM3914 LED bar graph driver was an amazing chip back in the day. Along with the LM3915, its logarithmic cousin, these chips gave a modern look to projects, allowing dancing LEDs to stand in for a moving coil meter. But time wore on and the chips got harder to find and even harder to…

Bluetooth is a good way to connect devices that are near each other. However, it can drain batteries which is one reason Bluetooth Low Energy — BLE — exists. [Drmph] shows how easy it is to deploy BLE to make, in this case, a doorbell. He even shows how you can refit an existing doorbell…

At the recent 38C3 conference in Germany, someone gave a talk about sending TOSLINK digital audio over fiber optic networks rather than the very low-end short distance fibre you’ll find behind hour CD player. This gave [Manawyrm] some ideas, so of course the IP-over TOSLINK network was born. TOSLINK is in effect I2S digital audio…

Every engineer is going to have a bad day, but only an unlucky few will have a day so bad that it registers on a seismometer. We’ve always had a morbid fascination with engineering mega-failures, few of which escape our attention. But we’d never heard of the Super-Kamiokande neutrino detector implosion until stumbling upon [Alexander…
