Technology AI's Dark Side Exposes Shipping's Cyber Readiness Gap as Training Lags Behind Digitalisation
As shipping digitalises, cyber awareness training for seafarers has not kept pace, leaving vessels vulnerable to AI-powered attacks. Kris Vedat, CEO of SmartSea, argues for mandatory cyber security as part of STCW Basic Training and prioritisation by the IMO.
Security Analysis of Long-Horizon Agentic AI Systems: Threats, Evaluation, and Framework Development
A recent arXiv paper by Almalki and Masud provides a structured analysis of security challenges in long-horizon agentic AI systems. It reviews existing threats, evaluation approaches, attack propagation mechanisms, and security frameworks, and proposes a taxonomy of threats and a framework for analyzing attack propagation to support future research.
New Survey Maps Agentic Security: Applications, Threats, and Defenses for Autonomous AI
A new survey from arXiv provides the first holistic overview of agentic security, covering how LLM-based agents are used in cybersecurity, their vulnerabilities, and countermeasures. The analysis of over 260 papers reveals that agentic systems are structurally fragile and require defenses spanning the full agent lifecycle.
Technology Threats Against Politicians Skyrocketed After Meta Changed Its Speech Rules
After Meta overhauled its content moderation rules last year, abusive and racist comments targeting lawmakers tripled, with violent threats and hate speech quadrupling, according to new research from the Center for Countering Digital Hate. The findings highlight the real-world consequences of platform policy changes.
Technology CISA Mandates Rapid Bug Fixes Amid AI Threats
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a directive requiring federal agencies to fix critical security vulnerabilities within three days. This move is in response to AI advancements that enable rapid exploitation of software bugs.
