In today's digital world, the amount of data generated by organizations is growing at an unprecedented rate. Every day, businesses, governments, and individuals produce vast streams of information, from financial records and customer interactions to logs from security systems. While this data holds incredible potential for insights, it is often raw, unstructured, and scattered across multiple sources. Security intelligence, which relies on accurate and actionable information to detect threats and make informed decisions, cannot function effectively without proper preparation of this data.

The 2025 State of AI Data Security Report reveals a widening contradiction in enterprise security: AI adoption is nearly universal, yet oversight remains limited. Eighty-three percent of organizations already use AI in daily operations, but only 13 percent say they have strong visibility into how these systems handle sensitive data. Produced by Cybersecurity Insiders with research support from Cyera Research Labs, the study reflects responses from 921 cybersecurity and IT professionals across industries and organization sizes.

While most cybersecurity companies pour resources into AI models, massive compute, hoovering up all the data, and enhanced analytics to detect and prevent threats, Frenetik, a Maryland cyber startup, is betting on something simpler: making sure attackers don't know what defenders know. The company emerged today with a fundamentally different approach using novel cyber deception and a newly issued U.S. patent to back it.

Reach Security announces its acceptance into the Microsoft for Startups Pegasus Program. Through the Pegasus Program, Reach will collaborate with Microsoft to help enterprise customers optimize their use of Microsoft E3 and E5 security suites by addressing configuration, visibility, and operational gaps through agentic AI.

WatchGuard has revealed its top six cybersecurity predictions for 2026, forecasting a year where AI-driven threats, regulatory pressures, and the decline of legacy tools will reshape the security landscape. Corey Nachreiner, chief security officer at WatchGuard Technologies, emphasises that organisations must prepare for rapid evolution in both attack methods and defensive strategies.
