LLM privacy policies keep getting longer, denser, and nearly impossible to decode 2025-12-12 at 08:30 By Sinisa Markovic People expect privacy policies to explain what happens to their data. What users get instead is a growing wall of text that feels harder to read each year. In a new study, researchers reviewed privacy policies for […]

LLM vulnerability patching skills remain limited 2025-12-11 at 08:47 By Sinisa Markovic Security teams are wondering whether LLMs can help speed up patching. A new study tests that idea and shows where the tools hold up and where they fall short. The researchers tested LLMs from OpenAI, Meta, DeepSeek, and Mistral to see how well […]

The hidden dynamics shaping who produces influential cybersecurity research 2025-12-10 at 08:52 By Mirko Zorz Cybersecurity leaders spend much of their time watching how threats and tools change. A new study asks a different question, how has the research community itself changed over the past two decades. Researchers from the University of Southampton examined two […]

NVIDIA research shows how agentic AI fails under attack 2025-12-08 at 09:56 By Sinisa Markovic Enterprises are rushing to deploy agentic systems that plan, use tools, and make decisions with less human guidance than earlier AI models. This new class of systems also brings new kinds of risk that appear in the interactions between models, […]
