Next stop: Baltimore! 🇺🇸 From August 12–14, the security research community is coming together for the 35th USENIX Security Symposium in Baltimore—and CISPA researchers are part of the program with several papers. Find the full list of our USENIX Security 2026 papers here: cispa.de/en/usenix-2026

Whether in the cinema🍿 or through exchange with the next generation of scientists🎓 – July showed the many different ways research at CISPA can be experienced. Thank you to everyone involved and all visitors who made these events possible.

We're ready for ICML 2026! 🚀 From July 6–11, we'll be in Seoul at the 43rd International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2026), where our researchers will present numerous papers. Find an overview of all our ICML 2026 papers here: cispa.de/en/icml-2026

What a great week for the wireless security community🔒📡 CISPA had the pleasure of hosting the 19. @acm.org WiSec 2026 in Saarbrücken. Special thanks go to our CISPA Faculty, Mridula Singh and Nils Ole Tippenhauer, who served as the General Chairs of WiSec. We were delighted to welcome the community!

What happens when AI models increasingly train on AI-generated content? Researchers fear a phenomenon known as Model Collapse, where information can gradually be lost over time. Louis Kerner developed BitMark to help keep AI-generated images identifiable. 🎧 More in the latest CISPA TL;DR episode.

CISPA-Faculty Mario Fritz has been appointed to the Scientific Panel of the EU AI Office. A newly established body, the Scientific Panel brings together world-leading experts to support the implementation of the EU AI Act. More at cispa.de/en/fritz-eu-...

More than 45 international organization representatives visited CISPA to explore cutting-edge cybersecurity research. The delegation accompanied President Steinmeier during his visit to Saarland. From satellite security to cryptography, and tech transfer, the visit sparked valuable global exchange.

Whether in research, transfer, or administration – May once again showed: CISPA is shaped by the people who make our research center what it is. 💙

And here’s some more good news: Congratulations also to Thorsten Eisenhofer on receiving a Distinguished Reviewer Award at the 47th IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy 🎉

Strong results for CISPA at the 47th IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy 🏆 Multiple papers and contributions were recognized with awards at the leading conference for security and privacy research. Congratulations to all involved on this international success! More info: cispa.de/en/sandp-2026

We keep pushing AI systems to perform better, but do we know their limits? CISPA-Faculty Dr. Andrew Lowy researches what ML can achieve under privacy and fairness constraints and where further optimization stops making sense. Want to learn more? Visit: cispa.de/en/andrew-lowy

Today at @sp.ieee-security.org, CISPA researcher Marcos Bajo presents “Segmentation Fault Oriented Programming (SFOP)”, a novel code-reuse attack that bypasses Intel CET in Linux systems, spawning segmentation faults in sequence. More at cispa.de/en/sfop
