Buburuza COO Grygoriy Bakalor explains why AI banking security must go beyond single-layer encryption. With deepfake fraud surging and breaches eroding trust, banks need multi-layer, multi-agentic defenses that isolate threats, prevent insider risk, and protect users even from mistakes—delivering security that works invisibly but decisively when needed.

This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/the-hidden-cost-of-invalid-traffic-why-ip-data-is-the-missing-link. IPinfo stops invalid traffic by detecting bots, VPNs, and proxies with real-time IP intelligence, helping ad platforms cut waste and improve ROI.

This story was written by: @ipinfo. Learn more about this writer by checking @ipinfo's about page, and for more stories, please visit hackernoon.com. Invalid traffic (IVT) is draining billions from advertising budgets as bots, VPNs, and residential proxies distort CPMs, attribution, and ROI. IPinfo prevents these losses by identifying non-human traffic at the IP level using continuously validated, measurement-based IP intelligence. With real-time proxy/VPN detection, active IPv6/IPv4 validation, and high-accuracy enrichment, platforms can block IVT before it enters auctions—leading to cleaner supply, better performance, and stronger ROI.

This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/debunking-the-998percent-accurate-ip-data-claim. IPinfo explains why ‘99% accurate IP data’ is misleading and how real accuracy requires ongoing measurement, transparency, and ProbeNet validation.

This story was written by: @ipinfo. Learn more about this writer by checking @ipinfo's about page, and for more stories, please visit hackernoon.com. Most “99%+ accurate” IP geolocation claims are misleading because there’s no shared dataset, no standard methodology, and no way to validate global accuracy across billions of constantly changing IPs. IPinfo rejects the industry’s accuracy theater and instead uses continuous measurement, transparency, and real-world validation to deliver trustworthy, evidence-backed IP data accuracy.

This story was originally published on HackerNoon at: https://hackernoon.com/sase-meets-edge-ai-why-security-will-be-decided-in-the-first-millisecond. In security, milliseconds decide trust. Why Edge AI must judge every packet instantly to prevent threats without killing performance. Check more stories related to cybersecurity at: https://hackernoon.com/c/cybersecurity.

Enterprise security is shifting to the edge, where the first millisecond of every connection determines trust, performance, and risk. Traditional SASE cannot keep pace with encrypted traffic, global latency, and attacker speed. Edge AI changes the model by making sub-millisecond, context-aware decisions directly at ingress, turning security into an instantaneous, distributed judgment system.

RWA tokenization hit $35.68B in 2025, but $14.6M in hacks exposed security gaps. Can the industry scale to $2 trillion by 2028 amid regulatory fragmentation?

Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization reached $35.68 billion in 2025, with projections to hit $2 trillion by 2028. But the rapid growth exposed critical vulnerabilities: $14.6 million was lost to hacks—more than double the previous year—with most exploits occurring in DeFi wrappers rather than the tokenized assets themselves. The GENIUS Act provided regulatory clarity for stablecoins but left gaps across the full asset lifecycle. Meanwhile, institutional giants like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and State Street are building on private blockchains, validating the market but creating interoperability challenges. Platforms like Mavryk (tokenizing $10B in luxury real estate), Ondo Finance (Treasury-backed tokens), and Securitize (infrastructure provider) are attempting to bridge institutional compliance with public blockchain efficiency.
