A single file moved between NIPRNet and SIPRNet can become a classification, authorization, malware, information-flow, and audit event at the same time.

Today’s Topics: ATM Jackpotting Shows Why Encryption Wrappers Cannot Be Treated as a Final Defense ATM security often looks stronger from the outside than it is at the computing layer. The vault section is physically hardened, cash cassettes are protected, and forced entry into the lower half of the machine is difficult by design. The…

Today’s Topics: BioShocking Shows Why AI Browsers Turn Prompt Injection Into Account Access AI browsers change the risk model for web security. A normal browser displays pages, runs site code inside web security boundaries, and leaves most decisions to the user. An AI browser in agent mode can read, click, type, summarize, follow links, interact…
