Kiren Rijiju: Why Earth Sciences minister Rijiju is upset with this European IT company |
[ad_1] Earth Sciences Minister Kiren Rijiju is reportedly upset with the French IT company Atos. Reason is said to be delay in the delivery of two supercomputers by the French company to Indian weather forecasting institutes. According to a report in news agency PTI, the Earth Sciences Ministry had ordered two supercomputers worth $100 million from French firm Eviden, of the Atos Group, last year to enhance the computing capabilities of its institutions -- the National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF) and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM)."I am more upset because the target we set was December. The Union Cabinet had already approved purchasing the supercomputer. We have only four petaflop capacity. We want to install up to 18 petaflop capacity," Rijiju told PTI in a video interview.He said that the French company ran into some […]

Elon Musk’s AI company will make Grok chatbot more accessible, here’s how
[ad_1] Elon Musk has been extremely critical of ChatGPT maker OpenAI for deviating from its mission to develop AI for the benefit of humanity and taking a profit-making path. He has advocated that artificial intelligence (AI) should be accessible for all, and he has now announced that his AI startup xAI will open source Grok chatbot this week.“This week, @xAI will open source Grok,” Musk said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).In simpler words, open-sourcing a software, like a chatbot, means that the software projects are redistributable as all source code is accessible by everyone. One of the advantages of having open source software is that it provides flexibility to an enterprise to have multiple ways of fixing a problem rather than waiting for an internal team to provide a solution.“OpenAI is a lie”Meanwhile, a user suggested that OpenAI […]

Defend the Airport
[ad_1] Every day, millions of passengers depend on a vast, complex airport ecosystem to get from Point A to Point B. From airline check-ins and baggage handling to air traffic control and terminal operations, the aviation sector is an intricate web of interconnected third-party providers, technologies, and stakeholders. In this high-stakes environment, a cybersecurity breach is not a single point of failure, it’s a ripple effect waiting to happen. Cyber Threats Aren’t Just IT Problems – They’re Operational Crises When people think about airport cybersecurity, they often picture network firewalls at airline headquarters or secure software for booking systems. But the real threat landscape is far broader and far more vulnerable. If a catering supplier is hit with ransomware, the aircraft turnaround slows. If the baggage conveyor system is compromised, luggage piles up, delaying departures. If the security contractor experiences […]
Securing LLMs Against Prompt Injection Attacks
[ad_1] Introduction Large Language Models (LLMs) have rapidly become integral to applications, but they come with some very interesting security pitfalls. Chief among these is prompt injection, where cleverly crafted inputs make an LLM bypass its instructions or leak secrets. Prompt injection in fact is so wildly popular that, OWASP now ranks prompt injection as the #1 AI security risk for modern LLM applications as shown in their OWASP GenAI top 10. We’ve provided a higher-level overview about Prompt Injection in our other blog, so in this one we’ll focus on the concept with the technical audience in mind. Here we’ll explore how LLMs can be vulnerable at the architectural level and the sophisticated ways attackers exploit them. We’ll also examine effective defenses, from system prompt design to “sandwich” prompting techniques. We’ll also discuss a few tools that can help […]
LLM Prompt Injection – What’s the Business Risk, and What to Do About It
[ad_1] The rise of generative AI offers incredible opportunities for businesses. Large Language Models can automate customer service, generate insightful analytics, and accelerate content creation. But alongside these benefits comes a new category of security risk that business leaders must understand: Prompt Injection Attacks. In simple terms, a prompt injection is when someone feeds an AI model malicious or deceptive input that causes it to behave in an unintended, and often harmful way. This isn’t just a technical glitch, it’s a serious threat that can lead to brand embarrassment, data leaks, or compliance violations if not addressed. As organizations rush to adopt AI capabilities, ensuring the security of those AI systems is now a board-level concern. In this post we’ll provide a high-level overview of prompt injection risks, why they matter to your business, and how Security Innovation’s GenAI Penetration […]
Setting Up a Pentesting Environment for the Meta Quest 2
[ad_1] With the advent of commercially available virtual reality headsets, such as the Meta Quest, the integration of virtual and augmented reality into our daily lives feels closer than ever before. As these devices become more common, so too will the need to secure and protect the data collected and stored by them. The intention of this blog post is to establish a baseline security testing environment for Meta Quest 2 applications and is split into three sections: Enabling Developer Mode, Establishing an Intercepting Proxy, and Injecting Frida Gadget. The Quest 2 runs on a modified version of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) in addition to proprietary software developed by Meta, allowing the adoption of many established Android testing methods. Enabling Developer Mode The first step of setting up a security testing environment on the Quest is to […]
