Researchers at NYU have developed a technique to add inert bugs in code to deter hackers. But could it work in reality?

Synack kicked off ThinkCyber, an unprecedented new initiative held in Silicon Valley this summer to develop cyber talent through hands-on workshops and top-tier mentorship. … The program led with mentorship and exchanges between the most talented college students from top technical programs across the nation including MIT, Harvard, and NYU [Tandon School of Engineering], and...

In a monumental hiring for the historic technical institute, NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering hired its first female dean since the school’s founding, under a different name, in 1854. Hired last spring, Jelena Kovačević is now presiding over her first week of classes as dean. Kovačević is the first successor to Katepalli Sreenivasan, who served...

Automobiles, like laptops, can be hacked by malefactors seeking to remotely steal information, damage or hijack a vehicle, or even injure or kill its occupants. One means of incursion is to target over-the-air (OTA) software upgrades for on-board telematics systems or the electronic control units (ECU) for brakes, the engine, airbags and more. The risk...

The worldwide market for 3D-printed parts is a $5 billion business with a global supply chain involving the internet, email and the cloud – creating a number of opportunities for counterfeiting and intellectual property theft. Flawed parts printed from stolen design files could produce dire results. Experts predict that by 2021, 75% of new commercial...

Trying to prove who designed and built what in 3D printing was envisaged as costly to major manufacturers, until now. The amazing aspect of 3D printing is that anyone, anywhere, with the right equipment, can print and build an object almost identical to an already existing one.

Experts have predicted that by 2021, 75 percent of new commercial and military aircraft will contain 3D printed parts. That makes it crucial that manufacturers find a foolproof way to ensure that 3D printed components are genuine. Counterfeit parts do a lot more than steal intellectual property – they can be dangerous or even deliberately...

Worldwide, the market for 3D printed parts is $5 billion. As a result, intellectual property theft and counterfeiting are rife. But, what can be done to stop this when the global supply chain is online? Researchers at NYU Tandon and NYU Abu Dhabi believe they have come up with a solution to foil counterfeiters and...
