Network World | Packaged offerings promise to make AI infrastructure deployment easier
Network World | John Sheehy, IOActive Senior Vice President, Research & Strategy, was recently featured in a piece from Network World discussing the rising trend of enterprise AI packages that vendors are pushing out. Sheehy expanded on these packages’ reliance on Nvidia GPUs & the “concentration of risk” that comes with that reliance. “… “They all require the same core Nvidia building blocks,” says John Sheehy, SVP of research and strategy at IOActive, a cybersecurity firm. That creates a monoculture almost entirely reliant on one company…
embedded | IOActive’s Outstanding Discovery in the RP2350 Hacking Challenge
embedded | Check out this piece from embedded featuring IOActive’s recent research that took place during the Raspberry Pi RP2350 Challenge, where IOActive secured a win for “Extracting antifuse secrets from RP2350 by FIB/PVC.” … “Among the winners, IOActive stood out for its discovery related to the extraction of antifuse secrets from the RP2350 using focused ion beam (FIB) and passive voltage contrast (PVC) techniques. Antifuses, traditionally considered a high-security memory medium, were thought to be resistant to extraction. ……

SecurityWeek | Check out this piece from SecurityWeek capturing thoughts from John Sheehy, IOActive SVP Research & Strategy, on trends for 2025 in relation to operational technology (OT) cybersecurity. “”During 2024, Russia-affiliated threat actors executed a campaign of physical sabotage throughout the European Union (EU) targeting critical infrastructure, the defense industry, and other elements of EU society,” notes John Sheehy, SVP Research & Strategy, IOActive. “I assess it is likely that Russian-affiliated threat actors will conduct intensified reconnaissance, establishment of persistence, and the launch of exploratory cyberattacks on liquid natural gas…
Tom’s Hardware | Raspberry Pi’s RP2350 Hacking Challenge results announced — four winners are each awarded the full $20K prize
Tom’s Hardware | Check out this article from Tom’s Hardware highlighting IOActive’s recent win for ‘Extracting antifuse secrets from RP2350 by FIB/PVC’ during the RP2350 Hacking Challenge hosted by Raspberry Pi. “Data bits stored in the RP2350’s OPT memories, based on antifuses, were extracted using a well-known semiconductor failure analysis technique leveraging passive voltage contrast (PVC) with a focused ion beam (FIB). IOActive’s five-strong team reckons their unique attack vector is potent enough to apply to other systems using antifuse memory for confidentiality. Organizations…
