Shift from standalone security tool to integrated AI agent marks strategy pivot.

The Perimeter Is Gone. Attackers Already Knew That.
Modern intrusions rarely crack the wall. They walk through the front door, wearing your credentials.

AI-Driven OT Security Is Only as Good as the Telemetry Feeding It
Fewer than 10 percent of OT networks have meaningful monitoring in place, according to the 2026 Dragos OT Cybersecurity Year in Review. Until that changes, layering machine-learning tools on top of industrial control systems may create more risk than it resolves.

Microsoft Wires Agentic AI Into Edge for Business — With an Audit Leash Attached
A limited preview of Edge for Business introduces Copilot-driven task automation alongside Microsoft Purview controls that log, filter, and block sensitive data before it leaves the tenant.

Authorities Shut Down First VPN Over Criminal Ties
A European crackdown takes out a VPN aiding crime, but raises wider privacy concerns.

Kali365 Phishing Kit Hijacks Microsoft OAuth Tokens to Silently Bypass MFA
The FBI has flagged a device-code phishing campaign powered by Kali365, a toolkit that steals OAuth tokens tied to Microsoft 365 accounts without ever touching a user's password.

More Than Half of CISOs Would Pay a Ransomware Demand. The Maths Are Not Flattering.
A survey of 750 CISOs in the US and UK finds 58% would hand over money to ransomware operators — despite law enforcement advice, incomplete decryption rates, and the lingering question of whether the data stays exclusive.

A Three-Year-Old Chromium Bug Can Turn Your Browser Into a Bot — And It's Still Not Fixed
An unpatched flaw in Chromium's Background Fetch API lets malicious websites keep service workers alive indefinitely, enabling crypto mining, DDoS participation, and persistent tracking across browser restarts.

Your CI Pipeline Is Already Too Late — CVE Lite CLI Disagrees With Your Entire Workflow
An OWASP-backed JavaScript dependency scanner built by Sonu Kapoor wants to catch vulnerable packages the moment a developer types the install command, not when the build breaks at 2 a.m.

Treat the Model Like a Threat: Why AI Agent Security Needs a Systems Overhaul
A paper from researchers at Google and two US universities argues that prompt-level defences and alignment tuning are structurally inadequate for securing autonomous AI agents — and that enterprises should start treating the model itself as an untrusted component.

Ten Thousand Bugs, One Model: Inside Anthropic's Project Glasswing
Claude Mythos Preview has scanned more than a thousand open-source projects and surfaced thousands of critical flaws. The bottleneck has moved — and the patch queue is not moving fast enough.

Kali365 and EvilTokens: The New Phishing-as-a-Service Threat
Professional phishing kits lower barriers for attackers, bypassing MFA with ease.

Unpatched Flaws Now Outpace Stolen Credentials as the Leading Breach Entry Point
Verizon's 2025 DBIR puts vulnerability exploitation at 31% of breach root causes. Median patch time has climbed to 43 days, and only 26% of CISA KEVs were fully remediated — a gap attackers are sprinting through.

AI Governance Is Broken Because It Still Lives Outside the Pipeline
Building compliance as a post-ship review layer made sense for static software. For AI systems that mutate overnight, it is organizational negligence dressed up as process.

TrapDoor: The Supply Chain Campaign That Wants Your Whole Dev Environment, Not Just Your Secrets
A cross-registry malware campaign hitting npm, PyPI, and Crates.io is going after CI/CD pipelines, SSH trust chains, and AI coding assistant files — not just credentials on install.

Twenty Years of Cyber Lessons and We're Still Losing on the Basics
The industry spent two decades reinventing its philosophy — perimeter defense to assume-breach — yet the attacks that still hit hardest exploit the same unpatched, misconfigured, un-MFA'd mistakes we should have buried years ago.

AI Agent Identities Are Redrawing Enterprise IAM Budgets
New Omdia research finds that the rapid spread of AI agent deployments is forcing organisations to treat non-human identities as a distinct governance category, with budget implications that traditional identity and access management frameworks were not designed to absorb.

Two Defender flaws under active exploitation, Microsoft confirms
A SYSTEM-level link-following bug and a denial-of-service issue in Microsoft Defender are both being abused in the wild.

The Boring Attacks Are Winning: Why Defenders Keep Losing to Trusted Tools
Leaked tokens, poisoned npm packages, and login replays are doing more damage than zero-days this quarter. Here is how to spot the pattern before it spots you.
