The National Security Agency (NSA) has awarded the 12th Annual Best Scientific Cybersecurity Paper Competition to “Decoding Trust: Comprehensive Assessment of Trustworthiness in GPT Models.” The winning paper, authored by 19 researchers including Professors Dawn Song (UC Berkeley), Bo Li (UIUC), and Sanmi Koyejo (Stanford), proposes a groundbreaking evaluation framework for assessing the trustworthiness of large language models (LLMs) such as GPTs.

The National Security Agency has published their 2023 Cybersecurity Year in Review!

In an effort to be more transparent, the National Security Agency publishes an annual year in review sharing information regarding cybersecurity efforts that better equipped U.S. defenses against high priority cyber threats. NSA’s efforts to help secure the nation’s most sensitive systems also help your cybersecurity because NSA cascades these solutions through public guidance and engages with key technology providers to help them bolster the security of their products and services.

According to a message from CISA on Monday, November 24th 2025, Messaging apps are being targeted by malicious spyware actors using commercial spyware programs.

Several threat actors have used “sophisticated targeting and social engineering techniques to deliver spyware and gain unauthorized access to a victim’s messaging app,” which then lets them deploy additional malware and acquire deeper access to the target’s phone, CISA said in an alert.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is joining the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and others to release the Cybersecurity Information Sheet (CSI), “Bulletproof Defense: Mitigating Risks from Bulletproof Hosting Providers,” to provide internet service providers (ISPs) and network defenders recommendations to mitigate potential cybercriminal activity enabled by bulletproof hosting (BPH) providers.
