In the face of growing air and missile threats in the Pacific, robust radar coverage and command networks will be critical to US and Japanese defense objectives, Tom Karako writes.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Association of Banks in Singapore (ABS) today announced the establishment of the AI-Driven Cyber and Technology Risk Taskforce (ACT), an industry-wide initiative to strengthen collective cyber and technology resilience in response to the emerging risks posed by frontier artificial intelligence (AI) models.

Clive Higgins told Breaking Defense the firm would likely pitch its experience in sensors and EW, but also saw an opening for drones developed with a Turkish partner.

Perhaps due to the notable impact of climate change on the ongoing summer, the delivery on C-67/25 by the Court of Justice has gone relatively unnoticed hitherto. The brevity of the judgment conflicts with the thunderous effects it may unleash, which have potential to open a definitive breach in the Union’s constitutional acquis. Noteworthily, this rupture is being perpetrated in alleged defence of Art. 2 TEU values: the lynchpin of the Union as a “militant” democracy is being deployed on the ex

Microsoft AI a présenté le 27 juillet 2026 son premier modèle dédié à la cybersécurité. Intégré dans son architecture, l’entreprise annonce battre tous les modèles actuels dans ce domaine, y compris Mythos d’Anthropic, mais attention à ce qui est réellement comparé. Hier soir, Microsoft a annoncé officiellement MAI-Cyber-1-Flash. Il s’agit du tout premier LLM de […]

Sometime in June of 2026, without ceremony, human beings became a minority on the internet they built. Cloudflare, which manages traffic for millions of websites, reported that bots now generate 57.5% of web page requests. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince had predicted in March that the crossover wouldn’t happen until the end of 2027. It arrived more than a year early. Global defense and technology leader Thales, in its annual “ Bad Bot Report ,” argues that machines became the majority back in 202

Editor’s note: This is the sixth article in a limited series celebrating American defense technologies born from wartime and their effects on broader national security, politics, and society. This series will run for several weeks to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, and winners will be selected by a reader vote undertaken through our newsletter later this summer.

The intersection of artificial intelligence adoption, cybersecurity governance, and public sector institutional constraints has not been examined as a unified analytical problem in the existing literature. Studies address AI cybersecurity risks generically, public sector governance independently, and framework adequacy separately. Existing studies have not integrated these three streams to explain specifically how AI adoption causes cybersecurity governance failure in government organizations, n

In the speech announcing his invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, Vladimir Putin took only minutes to arrive at the original sin in his catalogue of Western crimes. Before Iraq, before Libya, before Syria, came Belgrade: “First a bloody military operation was waged against Belgrade, without the U.N. Security Council’s sanction but with combat aircraft and missiles used in the heart of Europe.” The placement was not incidental, as Putin was telling Serbs that Russia’s war in Ukraine and NATO’s b

Anthropic co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei is urging Washington to tighten chip export bans and clamp down on Chinese “distillation”, framing it as critical for preserving the US lead in artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Monday, Amodei called a chip ban “the most efficient and direct way” of preventing Beijing from building frontier AI models for military use and domestic surveillance, which he said was his primary concern. The US “should not sell powerful chips or chipmaking equipment..

Companies must adopt a layered defence strategy that combines people, processes and technology, says Peter Clarke, founder and CEO of LanDynamix.

Software giant says ‘no choice’ but to develop AI defences against onslaught of automated attacks

Background: Health care systems face escalating cyberattacks, including the UK Synnovis ransomware attack, which halted pathology services for 14 weeks; the Ascension Health breach affecting 5.6 million patients; and the Change Healthcare breach costing US $2.5 billion. Conventional cybersecurity measures in health care remain reactive and inadequate against evolving threats. Machine learning (ML) offers adaptive, predictive, real-time cyber defense; yet, there is limited clarity on how ML tools

We present a reproducible pipeline for mapping Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise techniques from free-text vulnerability descriptions. Rather than relying on the CWE->CAPEC->ATT&CK derivation chain, whose table-expansion artifacts we quantify, we train a multi-label classifier on a curated gold dataset of 1,207 CVEs from expert MITRE Center for Threat-Informed Defense mappings. The resulting model approximately doubles recall@5 compared with a zero-shot embed

Moonshot AI has released Kimi K3's model weights and made parts of its infrastructure open source. The Chinese model nearly matches Western frontier models such as Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on popular benchmarks, but independent tests found major gaps in cyber and math performance, possibly pointing to distillation. The article Moonshot AI releases Kimi K3 open weights and infrastructure after shaking up the frontier model race appeared first on The Decoder .

The prototype vehicles are expected to be provided to the Army by March 30, 2027.

Microsoft introduces MAI-Cyber-1-Flash, a compact security model that scores 96 percent on the CyberGym benchmark when embedded in its MDASH multi-agent system. Microsoft says costs should drop by 50 percent compared to pure frontier models, since only tough cases get passed to GPT-5.4. For complex reasoning, Microsoft still relies on OpenAI.

“We're bombing a country to keep them from getting a nuclear weapon, but we're signing a deal with another country,” said the Republican Senator.

Security Operations Centers increasingly rely on automated mapping of Cyber Threat Intelligence reports to MITRE ATT&CK, yet extractor outputs remain fallible and are often stored without the evidence, provenance, and validation history needed to decide whether an individual mapping should be trusted. We present TRACE- CTI, a post-extraction claim-governance framework that preserves run-level Predictions, aggregates them into configuration-level GraphAssertions, materializes setup-deduplicated c

Sur les forums d'entraide Steam, des comptes créés pour l'occasion distillent de fausses solutions à des bugs bien réels. En réalité, la manipulation pousse les joueurs à installer eux-mêmes un mineur de cryptomonnaie sur leur PC.

Jailbreak defenses are essential for protecting large language models (LLMs), but they can also introduce secondary costs that weaken model utility. We present a systematic study of these defense trade-offs along three dimensions: performance impact, over-refusal on benign inputs, and inference cost. Rather than treating defenses as a single class, we organize them by operational strategy and examine how different strategies correlate with different side-effect profiles. Across state-of-the-art

Research shows that, more than military strikes or sanctions, authoritarians fear support for independent media, anti-censorship tech, and civil society. The post Authoritarians Keep Telling Us What They Fear. We Should Listen. appeared first on Just Security .

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are difficult to detect and interpret due to their multi-stage and stealthy nature. While recent autonomous defense systems leverage provenance graphs and learning-based models for detection and mitigation, their outputs remain largely machine-oriented and difficult for analysts to interpret. Large language models (LLMs) offer a promising interface for report generation, but often produce hallucinated or weakly grounded content. In this paper, we propose DeepFa

Artificial intelligence firm should provide $100m for cyber defences, says Hugging Face CEO The boss of the startup hacked by an OpenAI agent has called for the investigation into the incident to show “radical transparency”.

The offensive potential is no longer theoretical. We need to develop systems to strengthen public health as quickly as AI is accelerating biological design As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms the biological sciences, it is pushing the future of biology in two opposing directions. AI can help bad actors generate recipes for biological weapons with just a few keystrokes and computational prompts. At the same time, AI can track disease outbreaks and deliver critical public health informat
