Nozomi Compass helps industrial teams manage OT assets and vulnerabilities

Nozomi Networks launched Compass, an OT asset and vulnerability management platform unifying asset records, remediation workflows, and compliance evidence for industrial teams.

Nozomi Networks announced Compass, an OT asset and service management platform built on real-time first-party asset data from its Vantage cyber-physical security platform. It provides OT-native workflows, governed change approvals, consequence-based risk scoring, and continuous audit-ready compliance evidence mapped to NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NIS2, and TSA. The platform integrates with EAM, CMDB, ITAM, ITSM, SIEM, and SOAR tools and is designed to safely support AI-driven and agentic OT workflows with human oversight.

Hoss: Fast Oblivious Semantic Search with Heterogeneous GPU-CPU-TEE Architecture

Hoss uses heterogeneous GPU-CPU TEEs for oblivious semantic search, achieving up to 67x speedup over the Compass ORAM-based system.

Hoss is a first-of-its-kind oblivious semantic search system built on a heterogeneous CPU-GPU TEE architecture, hosting hot-path HNSW graph traversal in large GPU TEE private memory and offloading lower graph layers to CPU TEEs. It invokes oblivious primitives only for lower-layer accesses and adds host-access ORAM and data-dependent optimizations. Benchmarked against prior state-of-the-art Compass, the prototype achieves up to 67x speedup while maintaining high recall, with larger gains at scale.

Hacker Conversations: Vinnie Liu, Performer Turned Ringmaster

SecurityWeek interviews Bishop Fox CEO Vinnie Liu, recruited by the NSA at 17 in 1999, on hacker ethics, intent, and his career.

SecurityWeek's Hacker Conversations series profiles Vinnie Liu, who was recruited by the NSA in 1999 at age 17 via an IRC contact and later became CEO of security consulting firm Bishop Fox. The interview covers his white-hat philosophy that hacking for fun differs from hacking to harm, the moral development he attributes to parents and educators, and the industry's shift from the NSA to commercial firms like @stake after its 2000 acquisition of L0pht Heavy Industries. The piece is biographical and opinion-oriented with no incident, vulnerability, or research content.
