Automotive engineering teams are being asked to deliver faster, with less tolerance for failure. Software-defined vehicle programmes, secure OTA rollouts, zonal and service-oriented architectures, and continuous feature delivery are now baseline expectations. In parallel, regulatory pressure is increasing — from WP.29 (R155/R156), ISO/SAE 21434, and the forthcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act — tightening requirements around software integrity, traceability, and lifecycle governance.

Acronis is introducing Acronis Archival Storage, a new S3-compatible cloud storage tier built specifically for long-term data retention, compliance and cost optimization. This addition strengthens the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform by giving MSPs a complete, integrated solution that spans the entire data lifecycle from active protection on PCs and disaster recovery to long-term, compliant data archiving.

Endpoint threats are evolving faster than ever - more automated, more precise, and harder to stop with detection alone. Today’s security teams need more than alerts; they need clarity, context, and the ability to respond in real time without adding complexity or operational strain. On January 29, 2026, at 8am PST (4pm GMT), join WatchGuard and GigaOm for an educational webinar that cuts through the noise around endpoint security.

On January 13, 2026, Fortinet released an advisory describing a high-severity remote code execution vulnerability affecting its FortiOS and FortiSwitchManager products. According to Fortinet, the vulnerability stems from a flaw in the CAPWAP Wireless Aggregate Controller Daemon and could allow an unauthenticated, remote threat actor to execute arbitrary code or commands. The vulnerability was discovered internally by Fortinet’s Product Security Team.

In AI-powered security, advantage comes not from automation alone, but from clear insight into how decisions are made. At Arctic Wolf, home to one of the world’s largest commercial security operations centers (SOC), we process over 10 trillion security events weekly. Rather than chasing automation for its own sake, we build AI that scales human expertise – preserving judgment where it matters most. But what is the optimal combination of humans and machines for security operations?

Gartner frames the AI SOC landscape as a dichotomy: providers pursuing full SOC replacement versus those building AI products to augment existing staff. Of these two approaches, only augmentation aligns with real-world security operations. It helps analysts triage alerts, investigate faster, enrich context, and summarize incidents with better consistency, all while keeping humans in the loop, even if their day-to-day efforts change.

Security teams can now eliminate container vulnerabilities at the source without developer effort or version upgrades. At Seal Security, we believe vulnerability management should start with secure foundations.That’s why we’re excited to share that Seal’s pre-patched packages to harden base and secure images are now officially integrated in Wiz. This partnership brings together Wiz’s best-in-class cloud visibility with Seal’s remediation-first approach to container security.

The latest MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Evaluations are out, featuring scenarios that emulate sophisticated actors like Scattered Spider and Mustang Panda. While every release of the findings is a significant event for the security community, this year’s evaluation highlights both new and recurring concerns for security professionals.

Jesse Emerson, Chief Product Officer at LevelBlue, the world’s largest pure-play Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), recently sat down to answer a few questions about what makes an MSSP a valuable client resource and how he sees the MSSP’s role changing in the coming year.
