A phishing campaign is impersonating Google Careers to target job seekers, according to researchers at Sublime Security. “The scam is simple,” the researchers write. “An adversary sends an ‘are you open to talk?’ message impersonating an outreach email from Google Careers. If the target clicks the link, they’re taken to a landing page designed to look like a Google Careers meeting scheduler. From there, they’re taken to the phishing page.

I have never been one to jump on most technology bandwagons early; I am very pragmatic about what technology can do rather than what it promises. This extends to generative AI. I was not the first to play with ChatGPT and Gemini when they came out in the early 2020s. Maybe it’s because I work in fields that use machine learning very effectively. Even though I was aware of the leap Google made in 2012, I wasn’t eager to dive into the new wave of AI when it first appeared.

AI agents aren’t waiting in the wings anymore. They’re approving payments, spinning up cloud resources, and pulling sensitive data at machine speed. Blink, and a swarm of them has already acted a thousand times before anyone can check the logs. But with all that speed and capability comes risk. For many teams, it’s the authentication model—not the tech—that’s breaking.

A brute force attack is a method cybercriminals use to guess login credentials through repeated attempts until one works. It’s a simple idea that’s evolved into one of the most persistent enablers of account takeover (ATO). According to the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, brute force and credential-stuffing techniques accounted for nearly 70% of all password-related breaches that year, underscoring how these attacks remain a dominant entry point for ATO.

Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is one of the fastest-growing areas in cybersecurity. The reason is simple: companies today simply cannot keep up with the overwhelming volume of cyber threats they face. In fact, Gartner estimates that 50 percent of organizations will be utilizing MDR services by 2025. So, what is driving this massive shift toward outsourcing core security functions?

There’s a growing sense of risk awareness in the SaaS space as companies face increasing scrutiny over information security. According to Vanta’s State of Trust report, nearly two-thirds of organizations report that their stakeholders expect proof of a robust security posture and alignment with popular cybersecurity standards. ‍ ISO 27001 is one of the most widely recognized frameworks for demonstrating a strong security posture.

Data sovereignty means that data is subject to the laws and governance of the country where it is stored or processed. In simpler terms, if your AI system stores user data in Germany, you’re bound by EU’s GDPR rules — even if your company operates from the U.S. As AI and large language models (LLMs) become central to business operations, data sovereignty is no longer just a compliance checkbox.

Founded in 1998, under the name American Eagle Airlines, Envoy Air’s origins can be traced back to November 1, 1984, following the first American Eagle flight. As American Airlines’ largest subsidiary, it aims to be a world-leading airline. As part of this commitment, Envoy fosters inclusion and celebrates diversity. Despite this initiative to achieve success, the company suffered a data breach in October 2025 when unauthorized parties accessed parts of its network.

On October 23, 2025, Microsoft released an out-of-band security update for a critical vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-59287. The flaw stems from the deserialization of untrusted data in Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), which allows remote, unauthenticated threat actors to achieve remote code execution by sending a crafted event. According to Microsoft, only Windows servers with the WSUS Server Role enabled are affected. This feature is not enabled by default.

Data is the new currency of the digital world — and with that comes responsibility. The DPDP Act India (Digital Personal Data Protection Act), passed in 2023, is a landmark regulation designed to ensure accountability, transparency, and protection of personal data. For Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and compliance leaders, this law is not just another checkbox exercise — it’s a strategic mandate shaping how businesses operate in 2025.
