The behavioral signals that sharpen Trojan malware detection
Malware analysts spend a lot of time deciding which signals from a sandbox run are worth keeping. A sample executed in a controlled environment can generate hundreds of measurable attributes covering file structure, registry edits, process behavior, and network traffic. Most of those attributes add noise. A recent study works through this problem in detail,…

ANY.RUN & Elastic Security: Bring Threat Intelligence into Detection and Investigation Workflows
Security teams don’t lack data. They lack timely, usable intelligence. Analysts spend too much time validating indicators, switching between tools, and figuring out what actually matters. This introduces delays and puts organizations at risk of a missed incident. ANY.RUN solves this by bringing real-time, behavior-validated threat intelligence from ANY.RUN integrated into Elastic Security, where SOC and MSSP teams detect emerging cyberattacks earlier and respond faster without…

ChatGPT Confessed to a Crime It Couldn’t Possibly Have Committed
You might spend your Saturday mornings sipping coffee, attending a kids’ soccer game, or just recovering from a tough week at work. Not Paul Heaton. He recently spent a weekend persuading ChatGPT to confess to a crime it didn’t commit. “We know a lot now about the sort of interrogation techniques that lead to false…

Google’s new AI app is a glimpse of the future
I don’t know about you, but I spend a lot of time offline. And not by choice. That’s why I love new tools that work offline like the great one Google just launched. I know, I’m an outlier. As a full-time digital nomad who travels constantly, I have unusual connectivity problems. Right now, I’m living…

Vim and GNU Emacs: Claude Code helpfully found zero-day exploits for both
Developers can spend days using fuzzing tools to find security weaknesses in code. Alternatively, they can simply ask an LLM to do the job for them in seconds. The catch: LLMs are evolving so rapidly that this convenience might come with hidden dangers. The latest example is from researcher Hung Nguyen from AI red teaming…

According to Forrester’s Asia Pacific Tech Market Forecast, 2026 To 2030, the region will spend over US$437 billion on acquiring new technology between 2025 and 2030. Forrester estimates that total spending on technology will grow by 9.3%, driven by investments in software, services, communications equipment, and tech outsourcing, but cost pressures (such as software inflation and hardware spikes), regulatory fragmentation, tariffs, energy shocks, uneven regional growth, and talent shortages will reduce…

Can you prove the person on the other side is real?
In my role, I spend a lot of time thinking about what “trust” means when money, grief and identity collide. By 2026, the real competition in our space won’t be who automates fastest or offers the most AI features. It will be who can still tell a legitimate executor, beneficiary or family representative from a…

Java security work is becoming a daily operational burden
Security teams in large enterprises already spend significant time tracking vulnerabilities across software supply chains, third-party libraries, and internal codebases. Java environments add another layer of exposure because so many mission-critical systems still run on the JVM. A 2026 Azul survey of more than 2,000 Java professionals found that 64% said more than half of…
