A Validated Prompt Bank for Malicious Code Generation: Separating Executable Weapons from Security Knowledge in 1,554 Consensus-Labeled Prompts

Existing benchmarks of language-model refusal on malicious-coding tasks routinely conflate requests for executable malicious software with requests for harmful security knowledge. This conflation matters because the two request types plausibly trigger distinct refusal pathways in safety-aligned...

False Security Confidence in Benign LLM Code Generation

Prior work has demonstrated that functionally correct yet vulnerable outputs arise systematically in threat-oriented settings, where adversarial or implicit channels are used to induce security failures in code agents and automated patching workflows. This note introduces a complementary but...

Decision-Aware Trust Signal Alignment for SOC Alert Triage

Detection systems that utilize machine learning are progressively implemented at Security Operations Centers SOCs to help an analyst to filter through high volumes of security alerts. Practically, such systems tend to reveal probabilistic results or confidence scores which are ill-calibrated and...

How to Avoid Phishing Incidents in 2026: A CISO Guide

Phishing in 2026 is harder to detect and verify. Learn how CISOs can speed up investigations, reduce noise, and respond with confidence...

Efficient Adversarial Malware Defense Via Trust-Based Raw Override and Confidence-Adaptive Bit-Depth Reduction

The deployment of robust malware detection systems in big data environments requires careful consideration of both security effectiveness and computational efficiency. While recent advances in adversarial defenses have demonstrated strong robustness improvements, they often introduce computationa...

The Cybersecurity Perception Gap: Why Executives and Practitioners See Risk Differently

Does your organization suffer from a cybersecurity perception gap? Findings from the Bitdefender 2025 Cybersecurity Assessment suggest the answer is probably "yes" — and many leaders may not even realize it. This disconnect matters. Small differences in perception today can evolve into major blin...

Introducing TruConfirm for Enterprise TruRisk™ Management: Automated Exposure Validation

Enterprise security leaders and their teams face an impossible challenge: drowning in thousands of critical exposures in an ever-expanding attack surface while simultaneously trying to determine which ones pose a genuine risk of exploitation in their organizational environment. Traditional CVSS...

HumanSAM: Classifying Human-Centric Forgery Videos in Human Spatial, Appearance, and Motion Anomaly

Numerous synthesized videos from generative models, especially human-centric ones that simulate realistic human actions, pose significant threats to human information security and authenticity. While progress has been made in binary forgery video detection, the lack of fine-grained understanding ...

Optimal Debiased Inference on Privatized Data Via Indirect Estimation and Parametric Bootstrap

We design a debiased parametric bootstrap framework for statistical inference from differentially private data. Existing usage of the parametric bootstrap on privatized data ignored or avoided handling the effect of clamping, a technique employed by the majority of privacy mechanisms. Ignoring th...

SoK: Stablecoin Designs, Risks, and the Stablecoin LEGO

Stablecoins have become significant assets in modern finance, with a market capitalization exceeding USD 246 billion May 2025. Yet, despite their systemic importance, a comprehensive and risk-oriented understanding of crucial aspects like their design trade-offs, security dynamics, and...

Expert-In-The-Loop Systems with Cross-Domain and In-Domain Few-Shot Learning for Software Vulnerability Detection

As cyber threats become more sophisticated, rapid and accurate vulnerability detection is essential for maintaining secure systems. This study explores the use of Large Language Models LLMs in software vulnerability assessment by simulating the identification of Python code with known Common...

Aurora: Are Android Malware Classifiers Reliable under Distribution Shift?

The performance figures of modern drift-adaptive malware classifiers appear promising, but does this translate to genuine operational reliability? The standard evaluation paradigm primarily focuses on baseline performance metrics, neglecting confidence-error alignment and operational stability...

PrivATE: Differentially Private Confidence Intervals for Average Treatment Effects

The average treatment effect ATE is widely used to evaluate the effectiveness of drugs and other medical interventions. In safety-critical applications like medicine, reliable inferences about the ATE typically require valid uncertainty quantification, such as through confidence intervals CIs...

M3S-UPD: Efficient Multi-Stage Self-Supervised Learning for Fine-Grained Encrypted Traffic Classification with Unknown Pattern Discovery

The growing complexity of encrypted network traffic presents dual challenges for modern network management: accurate multiclass classification of known applications and reliable detection of unknown traffic patterns. Although deep learning models show promise in controlled environments, their...

What the Take Command 2025 Survey Tells Us About the State of Security

The Take Command 2025 Virtual Cybersecurity Summit wasn’t just about sharing insights, it was about listening. After the live sessions wrapped, we surveyed attendees to understand where their security programs stand today, what challenges they’re facing, and what they found most valuable during t...

Consistent and Compatible Modelling of Cyber Intrusions and Incident Response Demonstrated in the Context of Malware Attacks on Critical Infrastructure

Cyber Security Incident Response IR Playbooks are used to capture the steps required to recover from a cyber intrusion. Individual IR playbooks should focus on a specific type of incident and be aligned with the architecture of a system under attack. Intrusion modelling focuses on a specific...
