For more than 20 years, the US Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense (DoD) have relied on a legacy Host Based Security System (HBSS) to provide basic endpoint security on critical networks. This solution has generally served its purpose by checking the box for endpoint security. However, most agencies still lack a truly integrated cross-operating system and cross-domain solution for endpoint detection and response (EDR).

“Agentic AI is here to stay. It doesn’t matter whether you’re just experimenting with simple AI assistants and chatbots or already have autonomous agents with privileged access running in production.

Picture this: a critical vulnerability hits your dependency tree. Security flags it as high-priority, but the development team pushes back because the upgrade breaks three integration tests. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. It’s the same story for countless organizations, and it potentially costs your team countless hours of development time and revenue lost.

Cybereason warns that the Tycoon 2FA phishing kit continues to receive upgrades, allowing unskilled cybercriminals to launch sophisticated social engineering attacks. The platform is known for its ability to bypass multi-factor authentication measures.

AI has collapsed the vulnerability exploit lifecycle. Adversaries now discover, weaponize, and exploit exposures across hybrid environments in minutes — chaining together misconfigurations, unpatched systems, and stolen credentials to gain rapid access and move laterally across environments. For defenders, the speed of the adversary changes everything.

In today’s digital economy, every organization—whether a law firm, retailer, or financial services provider—is now part of someone’s critical infrastructure. A dangerous misconception persists: that Internet of Things (IoT) devices and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) are only concerns for industrial or manufacturing sectors. In reality, these technologies are quietly embedded in everyday operations across nearly every industry.

The SolarWinds supply chain attack in 2020 reminded the world how a single weakness in trusted software can have global consequences. That incident reshaped how organizations view software integrity and the importance of securing every stage of the development pipeline.

Let’s catch up on the more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news gathered from articles across the web this week. This is what we have been reading about on our coffee break! An amazing fraud bust and outcome.

When it comes to cyber insurance for SMEs, many small and medium-sized enterprises believe that cyber insurance feels like an optional extra, not a necessity, something to worry about later. This risk-taking attitude is often driven by various common misconceptions: The opposite is often true. Smaller businesses are frequently seen as easier targets due to limited budgets, lean security teams, and less mature cyber defences.
