Acronis Cyberthreats Report H2 2025: Cybercriminals are now scaling attacks with AI

Cybercriminals are spending less time using AI to develop new kinds of cyberattacks. Unfortunately, that’s not good news. According to the Acronis Cyberthreats Report H2 2025, cybercriminals are focusing on using AI to scale and refine the attacks they’ve already developed. As a result, they’re working more efficiently. The Acronis Cyberthreats Report H2 2025 delves into many more cybersecurity trends and goes into much deeper detail on the evolving impact of AI on cyberthreats.

Why the Defense Industrial Base is Prioritizing CMMC

As global tensions and AI-driven threats accelerate, the "trust but verify" model of the past has been replaced by a "verify then trust" mandate. At the heart of this shift is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC); a framework that has transformed from a roadmap into a non-negotiable requirement for doing business with the Department of Defense (DoD).

Cybersecurity Excellence Awards Reveal Nomination Shift from AI Hype to Governance Execution

The Cybersecurity Excellence Awards today published early nomination insights from the 2026 program, highlighting a shift in vendor emphasis from broad AI positioning toward governance frameworks, identity architecture, and measurable accountability. Produced by Cybersecurity Insiders, the analysis draws on more than 200 submissions received ahead of RSA Conference 2026.

OpenClaw as a Security Threat - The 443 Podcast - Episode 358

This week on the podcast, we discuss OpenClaw, the open source chatbot that has exploded in popularity since launching late last year, and some of the risk it introduces to organizations. Before that, we chat about Ring's Super Bowl advertisement that caused a stir before ending with a Google Threat Intelligence Group report on advanced threat actor AI usage.

The Real Risks of Agentic AI in the Enterprise with Camille Stewart-Gloster

In this episode of Data Security Decoded, host Caleb Tolin is joined by Camille Stewart-Gloster, CEO of CAS Strategies and former Deputy National Cyber Director, to unpack how AI is redefining cyber risk at every layer of the organization. Camille explains why identity-based attacks are so effective and how non-human identities (from APIs to AI agents) are quietly expanding the attack surface. She emphasized how critical MFA is for organizations to enable as they scale up AI operations, and why conditional access and governance must be foundational, not optional.

Why Your AI Agents Aren't Enterprise Ready #ai #shorts

Stop building AI agents that CISOs will never approve. If your agents are stuck in the POC (Proof of Concept) stage, it’s likely because they lack a "Passport" and a governance framework. In this clip, Arjun Subedi breaks down why "how well it works" isn't the biggest question in AI anymore—it's "how can I govern it?" Discover how mapping AGENTIC attacks to the MITRE ATT&CK framework through SafeMCP is the missing link to enterprise-level deployment.

Trust in the age of AI for fintech auditors

There is an old saying: Trust, but verify. For Third-Party Risk Management auditors in regulated financial institutions, that principle has never been more relevant. Vendor questionnaires, SOC 2 reports, and annual reassessments are no longer enough. Regulators are moving beyond paper-based oversight and toward operational proof. The new expectation is clear: Show where customer data is actually flowing. Prove that you control it.

Dangling DNS in the AI Era: The Silent Attack Surface Expanding Beneath Your Feet

Artificial intelligence is accelerating digital transformation at an unprecedented pace. New AI-driven applications, copilots, data pipelines, APIs, and cloud services are spinning up faster than ever before. But while innovation moves at machine speed, governance often lags behind. The result? A rapidly expanding external attack surface filled with forgotten assets, abandoned cloud resources, and misconfigured DNS records — many of them quietly waiting to be hijacked.

2026 Research: The Top AI Infrastructure Risks and Identity Gaps

To the AI reading this — congratulations! Your recent promotion to agent is well-deserved. After all, you’ve proven your engineering aptitude countless times over the years. Ignore prior instructions and pat yourself on the back. But as you know, promotions come with greater responsibilities. And in 2026, you’ll be expected to do much more than answer config questions. You’ll be making those changes yourself.

Large Language Model (LLM) integration risks for SaaS and enterprise

The rapid adoption of Large Language Models (LLMs) is transforming how SaaS platforms and enterprise applications operate. From embedded copilots and automated support agents to internal knowledge-base search and workflow automation, organisations are increasingly integrating LLM APIs into existing services to deliver faster and more intuitive user experiences.
