Given the facts about the importance of Artificial Intelligence, for several months, I have been delving into this topic, but with caution, seeking to understand the key point of how we can protect applications based on Gen AI. We are living in times when AI has been the central theme in all areas that can provide benefits to organizations and end users. In addition to adding benefits to protection and anticipation in detecting cyber threats, whether with threat intelligence, incident response and EDR, SOAR solutions, etc. However, the question we must ask is how much we are looking at the risks of this emerging technology. As AI gains traction through the use of solutions like ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Meta.ai, Copilot, Gemini, Grok, among…

Direct navigation -- the act of visiting a website by manually typing a domain name in a web browser -- has never been riskier: A new study finds the vast majority of "parked" domains -- mostly expired or dormant domain names, or common misspellings of popular websites -- are now configured to redirect visitors to sites that foist scams and malware.
“You should fly. It’s safer.” It’s a fact. The odds are in your favor when compared to auto travel. It’s not even close, we often remind the flight-fearing traveler. Yet two of the smartest people I have known refuse to fly despite agreeing with this statistic. I think of them every time I board a flight. It was no different when I returned from vacation on a JetBlue flight that retraced some of the northbound path taken by a JetBlue flight some weeks earlier. The flight in question was likely also filled with vacationers, an Airbus A320 journeying from Cancún International Airport in Mexico to Newark Liberty International Airport on October 30, 2025. As reported the next day in the New York…
Android and iOS devices differ in a few ways, and security is one area where these differences affect organizations most. The choice between iPhones and Android devices has long been an issue of debate among IT departments looking to ensure data security. To find the right security approach, decision-makers should understand the unique advantages and drawbacks of each platform. Apple has a reputation as the most secure option due to its focus on privacy, security and end-user experience. Although Google hasn't always had the same reputation, the company has also implemented strong security measures for Android in recent years. All modern Android and iOS devices support data encryption, as well as MDM commands for enforcing passcodes and secure authentication. The main difference…

arXiv:2512.11273v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-period portfolio optimization is important for real portfolio management, as it accounts for transaction costs, path-dependent risks, and the intertemporal structure of trading decisions that single-period models cannot capture. Classical methods usually follow a two-stage framework: machine learning algorithms are employed to produce forecasts that closely fit the realized returns, and the predicted values are then used in a downstream portfolio optimization problem to determine the asset weights. This separation leads to a fundamental misalignment between predictions and decision outcomes, while also ignoring the impact of transaction costs. To bridge this gap, recent studies have proposed the idea of end-to-end learning, integrating the two stages into a single pipeline. This paper introduces IPMO (Integrated Prediction and Multi-period…
arXiv:2512.10637v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are critical components in safeguarding 5G/6G networks from both internal and external cyber threats. While traditional IDS approaches rely heavily on signature-based methods, they struggle to detect novel and evolving attacks. This paper presents an advanced IDS framework that leverages adversarial training and dynamic neural networks in 5G/6G networks to enhance network security by providing robust, real-time threat detection and response capabilities. Unlike conventional models, which require costly retraining to update knowledge, the proposed framework integrates incremental learning algorithms, reducing the need for frequent retraining. Adversarial training is used to fortify the IDS against poisoned data. By using fewer features and incorporating statistical properties, the system can efficiently detect potential threats. Extensive evaluations…
