SAN FRANCISCO – California must revoke permits allowing federal agencies such as Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to put automated license plate readers along border highways, a coalition led by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Imperial Valley Equity & Justice (IVEJ) demanded today. In a letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Director Dina El-Tawansy, the coalition notes that this invasive mass surveillance – automated license plate readers (ALPRs) often disguised as traffic barrels – puts both residents and migrants at risk of harassment, abuse, detention, and deportation. “With…

While most direct-to-consumer brands are maximizing their social media presence with polished content and paid ads, many business-to-business companies (B2Bs) are still stuck in broadcast mode. They treat social like a checkbox or, worse, avoid it altogether. That’s a miss. Your buyers are on these platforms every day, scrolling LinkedIn between meetings, watching YouTube explainers, and even picking up insights on TikTok.

This guide breaks down…

Are ransomware and encryption still the defining signals of modern cyberattacks, or has the industry been too fixated on noise while missing a more dangerous shift happening quietly all around them? According to Picus Labs’ new Red Report 2026, which analyzed over 1.1 million malicious files and mapped 15.5 million adversarial actions observed across 2025, attackers are no longer optimizing for disruption. Instead, their goal is now long-term, invisible access. To be clear, ransomware isn’t going anywhere, and adversaries continue to innovate. But the data shows a clear strategic pivot away from loud, destructive attacks toward techniques designed to evade…
Obsidian is an amazing tool for, well, just about anything. While it’s designed to be a knowledge management system, there are loads of other applications. That said, it does have a few downsides; namely, syncing across devices can be difficult to pull off without paying for a subscription. While there are free options, they aren’t always reliable, and the Obsidian subreddit has recently seen a spate of posts about users losing data when syncing through services like iCloud and Google Drive. Poznote offers nearly all the functionality of Obsidian, with one outstanding perk: it runs entirely in your browser. That…
Docker-containerized ML models execute data discovery and classification locally, maintaining data sovereignty while scanning file repositories, SaaS applications, and inline traffic flows, the authors stated. “Versa DLP uses advanced transformer models and fine-tuned Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect sensitive information across diverse document types and formats. Unlike traditional pattern matching, VersaONE applies contextual and behavioral analysis using spatial and temporal signals to differentiate legitimate data use from potential breaches,” the authors wrote. “This context-aware approach reduces false positives and dynamically applies predefined, policy-driven protections without disrupting normal business workflows.” In addition, the new version of VersaONE supports inline CASB…
Microsoft is strengthening default protections in Windows through two security initiatives, Windows Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent. User Transparency and Consent User Transparency and Consent introduces a structured approach to how Windows presents security decisions to users. The operating system will prompt users when applications request access to sensitive resources such as files, cameras, or microphones, and when installers attempt to add additional software. Permission decisions are recorded so they can be reviewed and changed later. Applications and AI agents are also expected to meet higher transparency standards. Windows Baseline Security Mode Windows Baseline Security Mode moves…
