While most organizations address cybersecurity issues with technology and surveillance, a new study from the University of Vaasa, Finland, argues that empathy may be a more effective defence. Emmanuel Anti's doctoral research explores insider deviance, and how understanding the human elements related to it can lead to stronger, more sustainable cybersecurity practices. His dissertation proposes an empathetic security model grounded in design thinking, encouraging organisations to co-create cybersecurity policies with employees, focusing on understanding their needs, motivations and emotional well-being.

A new study finds that greener, energy-efficient cryptocurrencies respond more steadily to market movements. However, significant risks persist, highlighting the need for effective risk-mitigation tools.

With the advancement of Internet applications, the global demand for broadband satellite communication services is incessantly escalating. Furthermore, there exists an exponential surge in the requisition for the capacity of satellite communication systems. In response to this evolving demand, the domain of satellite communication technology is progressively evolving toward the realm of high-throughput satellite (HTS) communication systems. The typical technical characteristics of HTS are: (a) the satellite adopts multibeam technology for beam overlapping coverage of the service area, which improves the quality of the wireless link while realizing the spatial dimension segmentation; (b) based on this, the system adopts multiple frequency multiplexing to improve the communication capacity of a single satellite; (c) gateway stations are tightly coupled with user beam clusters to complete two-hop communication, which makes multiple gateway stations share the communication resources of the same satellite, forming a spatial isolation of the gateway stations, and once again realizing the frequency multiplexing of the gateway station links. A key requirement for future multibeam broadband satellite communication systems is the ability to flexibly adjust beam capacity according to changes in business distribution, in order to meet time-varying business requirements. Beam hopping technology provides an efficient solution to achieve the efficient use of frequency resources and power resources. At the same time, the use of beam hopping makes the beam hopping of satellite payload need to match the business signals of ground signal stations, bringing about the need for synchronization of beam hopping between satellite and ground.
