🧟♂️ The Enclaves Have Been Spooked. This Halloween, the ghosts haunting your datacenter aren’t in the network - they’re lurking in your CPU's memory interface. 👻 Researchers just pulled off a <$1k hardware horror show🩸 that manages to steal the signing keys that form basis of trust in server class versions of secure enclaves architectures from Intel and AMD. While you should keep an eye out for demons interposing on your server memory bus, it turns out the real horror show is the lack of awareness of threat model from those designing on top of commercial enclaves 🪓 🔪 Happy Haunting, Security Folks.

Earlier this week Gradient founder and CEO Christian Wentz was invited to present our StealthMFA solution and Device Anchored Security platform at the KeyBanc Capital Markets Technology Leadership Summit, with more than 900 technology investors and practitioners in attendance. We're looking forward to following up with all of you!

Even cybersecurity experts aren't immune to phishing! 🎣 Plot twist of the year: Troy Hunt, the founder of "Have I Been Pwned?" (the go-to site for checking if your data has been breached), recently admitted to falling for a phishing email himself. The irony is delicious – the very person who helps millions of us check if we've been pwned... got pwned. The security expert was "taken in by an email that exposed his Mailchimp access." Even anti-scammers get scammed: security expert Troy Hunt pwned by phishing email | CSO Online This is actually a perfect reminder that: ✅ No one is 100% immune to social engineering ✅ Even security professionals have "oops" moments ✅ The best defense is staying humble and vigilant ✅ It's okay to admit mistakes – transparency builds trust Troy's honest admission actually makes us trust his expertise MORE, not less. It takes courage to publicly share when you've been caught off guard, especially when your reputation is built on cybersecurity awareness. The human element remains the weakest link in cybersecurity – and that includes ALL of us, regardless of our expertise level. What's your most embarrassing cybersecurity "learning moment"? Let's normalize talking about our mistakes so we can all learn from them!
