Tel Aviv, Israel, October 8th, 2025, CyberNewsWire Miggo Security, pioneer and innovator in Application Detection & Response (ADR) and AI Runtime Defense, today announced it has been recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor in AI Security. To us, this recognition underscores Miggo’s mission to close the detection-to-mitigation gap that plagues security teams today by providing comprehensive, fast, and precise analysis and response for what applications actually do at runtime.  Traditional security approaches are failing to match the dynamic, behavioral reality of modern applications. In fact, Gartner writes, “Through 2029, over 50% of successful cybersecurity attacks against AI agents will exploit…

Google this week announced a new dedicated AI Vulnerability Reward Program (VRP) that builds on the 2023 Abuse VRP extension covering issues and vulnerabilities in its AI systems. To date, bug hunters have earned more than $430,000 in rewards for AI-product related vulnerabilities, and the new VRP builds on that momentum and has been shaped based on the feedback received from participating researchers. One of the most important aspects of the new AI bug bounty program is that prompt injections, jailbreaks, and alignment issues are not in its scope. However, Google encourages researchers to report these content-related issues as well.…

Two former Harvard students are launching a pair of “always-on” AI-powered smart glasses that listen to, record, and transcribe every conversation and then display relevant information to the wearer in real time.  “Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,” said AnhPhu Nguyen, co-founder of Halo, a startup that’s developing the technology.  Or, as his co-founder Caine Ardayfio put it, the glasses “give you infinite memory.”  “The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch,…

The latest addition to the small model wave for enterprises comes from AI21 Labs, which is betting that bringing models to devices will free up traffic in data centers. AI21’s Jamba Reasoning 3B, a “tiny” open-source model that can run extended reasoning, code generation and respond based on ground truth. Jamba Reasoning 3B handles more than 250,000 tokens and can run inference on edge devices. The company said Jamba Reasoning 3B works on devices such as laptops and mobile phones. Ori Goshen, co-CEO of AI21, told VentureBeat that the company sees more enterprise use cases for small models, mainly because moving most inference…

Google’s DeepMind artificial intelligence research lab this week unveiled an AI agent designed to autonomously find and fix vulnerabilities. Google has several projects focusing on the use of AI for the discovery of vulnerabilities in software. The tech giant recently reported that its Big Sleep agent discovered a critical SQLite vulnerability and thwarted efforts to exploit it in the wild. Its latest product is CodeMender, an AI agent that not only finds security holes but also patches them. The company argues that such tools are needed because as AI gets better at discovering flaws, it will be difficult for humans…

4 Min Read October’s Night Sky Notes: Let’s Go, LIGO! An artist’s impression of gravitational waves generated by binary neutron stars. Credits: R. Hurt/Caltech-JPL by Kat Troche of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific September 2025 marks ten years since the first direct detection of gravitational waves as predicted by Albert Einstein’s 1916 theory of General Relativity. These invisible ripples in space were first directly detected by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Traveling at the speed of light (~186,000 miles per second), these waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space itself, changing the distance between objects as they…

Windows machines run great until they suddenly start slowing down out of nowhere. If you’re not maintaining your machine regularly, these slowdowns can become much more severe. I have an annual ritual that keeps my Windows laptops running like new. But taking your entire machine apart for weekly maintenance is a hassle. Thankfully, running these commands weekly will keep your Windows PC in top shape, at least on the software end. What are SFC and DISM? Two tools that keep Windows running smoothly SFC, or the System File Checker, is a built-in computer health inspector that you can run via…

Honor’s upcoming Magic8 Pro has seemingly been outed in its white colorway in China earlier today. The non-Pro Magic8 was shown in Sky Blue Glaze last month, and now both models have been portrayed in live images ahead of their official unveiling, which should come very soon. Honor Magic8 Pro leaked images According to past leaks and rumors, the Magic8 Pro will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, paired with self-developed Honor RF and energy efficiency chips, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. The phone has the model…

Google is expanding access to Opal, its AI vibe-coding app, to 15 more countries. The app, which lets you create mini web apps using text prompts, is now available in Canada, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil, Singapore, Colombia, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panamá, Honduras, Argentina, and Pakistan. “When we opened up Opal to users in the U.S. we anticipated they might build simple, fun tools,” said Megan Li, a senior product manager at Google Labs, in a blog post. “We didn’t expect the surge of sophisticated, practical and highly creative Opal apps we got instead. The ingenuity of these…
