Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

In an April 2025 speech at the Exchequer Club, Acting Comptroller of the Currency Rodney Hood identified “expanding responsible bank activities involving digital assets” as one of the OCC’s top four strategic priorities.

The RSA Conference 2025-International Event was held at the San Francisco Moscone Center from April 28 to May 01, 2025. The previous promise turned into reality as more than 40,000 attendees-Namely, industry leaders, experts, vendors, and professionals worldwide-were drawn to the extremely lifelike conference that gave life to new ideas, innovations, and strategies to deal with the emerging cybersecurity threats challenges.

Partners in the defence supply chain, including manufacturers, distributors, and service providers, play a critical role in supporting national security initiatives. These entities frequently handle sensitive and classified information, which necessitates a robust framework of cybersecurity measures. To safeguard this sensitive data from potential breaches and cyber threats, they are required to adhere to stringent government-mandated cybersecurity protocols.

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! Can’t trust anyone any more…

For years, vulnerability scanners have been the cornerstone of enterprise security programs. But as organizations scaled, and as infrastructure, applications, and attack surfaces diversified, the single-scanner model broke down. Security teams now face a fragmented reality. Data pours in from dozens of sources: endpoint detection tools, cloud security platforms, application security testing, and more. Each of these systems generates findings with its own schema, priorities, and assumptions. The result?

Endpoint security compliance isn’t just about meeting regulatory requirements—it’s about building a robust security architecture that protects your organization from advanced threats. As more businesses adopt modern management frameworks for Windows devices, ensuring compliance while enhancing security is a critical challenge.

Picture this: it's 2021. You're an IT professional, scrolling through LinkedIn, when a message pings. "Bastion Secure," a new cybersecurity company, is hiring. The pay? Excellent. Remote work? Absolutely. A chance to tinker with cutting-edge tech? You bet. For dozens, this looked like the career lottery win. What they didn’t clock was that their new "employer" was the infamous cybercriminal syndicate, FIN7. This isn't just another tale of a clever job scam.

Your AI Agent just updated a vendor’s payment details in your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system based on a seemingly harmless prompt. No data was exfiltrated. No access policy was violated. But now, a $250,000 payment is sitting in a fraudulent bank account. This is the new face of AI risk. As enterprises adopt AI Agents - either off the shelf or custom built, security teams are facing a fast-moving shift.

Threat Intelligence (TI) has become the secret weapon of modern security teams—essential for identifying possible emerging threats before they escalate. But TI is only as valuable as its accuracy, relevancy, and timeliness. Unfortunately, many traditional TI approaches can no longer keep up, as security teams are plagued with information overload: too many signals, too little context, and limited resources to process everything. This is why the coupling of GenAI and TI is a game changer.
