Fake profile pictures: how to tell a stolen photo from an AI face

Nov 1, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses

How Arrests Without a Conviction Affect Employment and Background Checks

Nov 1, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
An arrest that never leads to a conviction can still surface on a background check. Whether you can see that record-or use it-rests on strict reporting rules and anti-bias limits. On October 29, 2026, the EEOC scrapped its decade-old guidance, leaving many online explainers out of date. This guide answers four rapid-fire questions-Does the record exist? Can a vendor report it? May you weigh it? What guardrails apply?-so you keep talent moving and systems secure while staying inside the new legal lines.

Oct 30, 2026 By Max Aulakh In Ignyte
The shift from NIST SP 800-171 revision 2 to revision 3 includes a lot of changes, which we've already covered from a bird's-eye view over in this post. One of the biggest changes in Rev 3 is the introduction of ODPs, or Organization-Defined Parameters.

Does AI redaction meet GDPR? Redaction vs tokenization

Oct 30, 2026 By Amar Kanagaraj In Protecto
Short answer: GDPR names pseudonymization as a recommended safeguard, in Article 25 and Article 32, and Recital 28 says pseudonymization reduces risk for data subjects. Redaction deletes the value, so a redacted prompt breaks the model’s ability to reason. Tokenization replaces the value with a consistent token, so the model keeps working. Tokenization is a safeguard, not an exemption. A familiar pattern: a team writes a regex, strips emails from the prompts, and calls it done.
