There was a time when “Information Technology” wasn’t a department, an industry, or even a common business term. In the 1970s and 1980s, computing and telecommunications were largely separate disciplines. Computers processed information. Telecommunications moved information. Most systems operated independently, often serving specific departments or business functions. Then those worlds began to converge. Organizations started connecting computers through networks.

Social engineering has always been the softest edge of enterprise defense, and AI is sharpening adversaries’ attacks. Phishing, business email compromise, and impersonation still dominate the initial-access playbook, but AI has stripped out the cost, time, and skill barriers that once forced attackers to choose between reach and precision.

Over recent months, our Microsoft Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service, powered by the Threat Fusion Cell, has observed a sharp increase in sophisticated attack campaigns attributed to offshoots of threat brand Vocal Brigantine, who ceased operations in Spring 2026.

Cloaked SEO poisoning attacks surged by 40% in the second quarter of 2026, according to researchers at Fortra. This tactic, also known as “Chameleon SEO poisoning,” uses cloaked search engine results to spread phishing sites. “Chameleon SEO poisoning,” uses cloaked search engine results to spread phishing sites.

Microsoft 365 is one of the most widely used business platforms in the world. However, most businesses use only a fraction of what it offers, and leave some of its most important security features either switched off or set up incorrectly. M365 offers far more than the productivity tools we are all familiar with, like Outlook, Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Used properly, it’s a powerful cybersecurity platform. Used poorly, it offers a false sense of protection.

Ports are becoming increasingly digital. Sensors, connected equipment, private networks, IoT platforms, analytics, digital twins and AI are creating new opportunities to improve efficiency, resilience and sustainability. But adding more technology does not necessarily make a port smarter. Many ports already operate hundreds or thousands of connected assets across multiple systems, suppliers and stakeholders.

Antivirus and EDR catch malicious behavior on a machine. Neither tells you which valid credentials are exposed on it right now. That's credential security, a distinct job that finds exposed secrets and helps fix them before attackers do.

API governance is the framework of policies, standards, and controls an organization applies to how APIs are designed, exposed, accessed, and monitored. It answers four questions for every API in your environment: who owns it, what data it touches, who can call it, and whether its behavior stays within approved limits.
