Introduction: when the trust model can’t be trusted Secrets vaults are the backbone of digital infrastructure. They store the credentials, tokens, and certificates that govern access to systems, services, APIs, and data. They’re not just a part of the trust model, they are the trust model. In other words, if your vault is compromised, your infrastructure is already lost. Driven by the understanding that vaults are high-value targets for attackers, our research team at Cyata set out to conduct

If you're a Hulu user, you'll likely be changing apps soon. During today's quarterly earnings results announcement, CEO Bob Iger said the company would be "fully integrating Hulu into Disney+," meaning th

The revoked funding will affect nearly two dozen projects worth almost $5
A new startup, Lava Payments, aims to take on payment giants by building a solution for the modern web where AI agents now handle transactions for their customers. The idea came to founder Mitchell Jones after he left his earlier Y Combinator-backed fintech startup, Lendtable, as he began to experiment with AI. He saw the potential to build out a system that would make using AI and agent payments simpler and more developer-friendly. While experimenting with an AI app and trying to build what he
But some tech executives and engineers are wrestling with the potential harms of the shift. Once they build autonomous drones and A.I. weapons for the military, they will have little control over how the technology is deployed. That has led to debates over whether more people will be killed by these advanced weapons than traditional ones, three engineers at Google and Meta said. “These Silicon Valley companies are hyper competitive, and in their drive to get into these defense sectors, there is

Firefox Focus is available for both Android and iOS. I've run the gamut of web browsers on Android, and every time I think I've found "the one," I discover a reason not to use it. That reason might be a cluttered UI, a lack of options, or not enough security. Recently, however, I came across a browser

Lift up either side of the new Morgan Plus Four’s engine decklid and no carburetors or velocity stacks materialize on the engine of this otherwise eminently classic-looking car. The latest generation of Plus Four returns to the American market this year for the first time since 2005. But to make it happen, Morgan spent five years homologating the little roadster with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, technically as a replica. That's why, underneath the left-hand hood, a hilari
Introduction Standard large language models (LLMs) possess vast knowledge but struggle with limitations like hallucinations and accessing real-time information due to their static training data. This has spurred the development of dynamic AI architectures. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a key solution, integrating external knowledge into the generation process. However, the field is rapidly evolving beyond basic RAG. Newer models like RASG (Retrieval-Augmented Self-Generate
