Google’s 2029 Quantum Deadline Is a Wake‑Up Call

Google has publicly moved up its internal timeline to complete the transition to post‑quantum cryptography to 2029, ahead of deadlines set by U.S. standards bodies like NIST and the NSA, and wants enterprise security teams to treat quantum‑safe migration as a near‑term priority. The shift is motivated by concerns about “harvest now, decrypt later” risks and the vulnerability of digital signatures once quantum computers can break current encryption, signaling to IT leaders that they should accelerate planning and adoption of quantum‑resistant algorithms across systems.

Prompt Engineering Demands Rigorous Evaluation

In the blog post “Prompt Engineering Requires Evaluation” on the Shostack + Associates website, the author argues that treating prompts for large language models (LLMs) merely as creative artefacts is insufficient. Engineering prompts properly demands structured evaluation frameworks — what the AI community calls “evals” — to test which prompt versions work better, with which models, and under which conditions. The post highlights that simply assuming a prompt is “good enough” creates risks when LLMs are integrated into production systems (e.g., for threat modeling). It advocates for measuring prompt performance, variation effects, and tool-chain dependencies (model, context, ancillary materials).  Ultimately the message is: prompt engineering should borrow disciplined practices from software engineering (versioning, testing, benchmarking) rather than relying on informal experimentation.  https://shostack.org/blog/prompt-enignieering-requires-evaluation/

KEVIntel: Real-Time Intelligence on Exploited Vulnerabilities

KEVIntel is a dynamic platform providing up-to-date information on known exploited vulnerabilities (KEVs). It aggregates data from over 50 public sources, including CISA, and enriches each entry with metadata such as EPSS scores, online mentions, scanner inclusion, and exploitation status. The platform aims to serve as an early warning system, offering insights even before official publications. KEVIntel supports various formats like JSON, CSV, and RSS, facilitating integration into security operations. These entries include CVSS scores, exploit status, and links to proof-of-concept code, aiding organizations in prioritizing remediation efforts.   https://kevintel.com/
