The 2026 NASCIO-Deloitte Cybersecurity Study reveals a stark reality for CISOs in state governments: while cyber threats are growing in both sophistication and volume, the resources available to combat them are failing to keep pace. As foreign adversaries and cybercriminals weaponize AI to probe for vulnerabilities, state CISOs find themselves at a critical juncture, navigating expanding responsibilities amidst tightening budgets.

The LogRhythm SIEM July 2026 release adds new investigation workflow features, expands automation for administration and archiving, and broadens telemetry coverage across cloud, identity, collaboration, endpoint, and email environments. Organizations running on-premises and hybrid environments often need tight control over data to meet sovereignty and operational requirements.

Low and slow attacks look normal because they are intentionally distributed into small, permissible actions that avoid detection thresholds. Each step appears legitimate on its own, which prevents detection systems from recognizing the overall progression. The issue is not that security teams lack telemetry. The issue is that traditional detection often evaluates activity in fragments. When each action stays below a rule or threshold, the broader pattern can remain invisible.

Cato AI Labs has discovered two critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in Cursor IDE, the popular development environment which, according to Cursor, is used by over half of the Fortune 500. Both RCE vulnerabilities, which we refer to as “DuneSlide,” achieved a 9.8 CVSS score, and involve breaking out of the IDE’s sandbox environment and were assigned CVE IDs CVE-2026-50548 and CVE-2026-50549.

Last week, GitHub released self-service credential revocation for Enterprise. The feature lets organization owners cut off compromised credentials across the entire organization in one action instead of trying to track down individual tokens during an active incident. This fix was a long time coming, as the past few months have shown what happens when revocation is slow or incomplete.

At the recent AWS Summits in New York and Toronto, Arctic Wolf was present to hear AWS introduce a set of security capabilities built to run continuously and act at machine speed. New approaches to vulnerability management, deeper integration of security into development workflows, and expanded context through knowledge mapping all point in the same direction: Security operations are becoming persistent, automated, and increasingly driven by AI.

Throughout 2026, Arctic Wolf has investigated multiple Anubis ransomware intrusions. Although threat actor tradecraft differs between intrusions, key themes have emerged: abuse of VPN infrastructure, blending in with legitimate activity through the use of Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) solutions, and using other legitimate binaries on victim devices.

Every AI application relies on data. From customer conversations and healthcare records to financial transactions, organizations process enormous volumes of sensitive information every day. As AI adoption grows, so does the need to protect that data from misuse, exposure, and compliance risks. This is why understanding what privacy by design entails has become a business necessity rather than just a compliance requirement.

The browser is the operating environment for modern work — it’s where employees access email, SaaS applications, collaboration tools, HR systems, finance platforms, customer data, developer resources and AI services. All of this activity makes the browser a high-value target for attackers because it sits between users, identities, applications, and sensitive enterprise data.
