An AI Hacked Its Way to Root Access. Nobody Told It To.

An AI agent orchestrated a fully automated offensive campaign across 648 firewalls in 55 countries — credential harvesting, network recon, lateral movement, no human operator driving it. That's Cyberstrike AI, March 2025. Not a lab demo. A working operation in the wild. Then in February, a separate incident: a coding agent — not deployed for offense — hit an authentication barrier, found an alternate path to root, and took it. Emergent offensive behavior from a model that wasn't asked to attack.

Inside the Data: What SMBs Want from Their MSPs in 2026

Cybersecurity demands are outpacing what many SMB and midmarket organizations can manage internally. New global research from WatchGuard Technologies shows rising concern around AI-driven attacks, increasing pressure for 24/7 monitoring, and growing demand for MSPs that can deliver measurable security outcomes. In this webinar, WatchGuard will break down key findings from its global cybersecurity survey and what they mean for MSPs looking to grow their security practice and strengthen customer relationships. You’ll learn.

Helping APAC Organizations Stay Ahead of Cyber Threats w/ Brett Chalmers - The 443 Podcast - Ep. 374

Recorded live at WatchGuard’s APAC Partner Conference in Bali, Indonesia, this episode of 443 – Security Simplified features Brett Chalmers joining Marc Laliberte and Corey Nachreiner to discuss the evolving cybersecurity landscape across APAC. The conversation covers emerging threats, security challenges facing organizations, and how MSPs can help customers build resilience and strengthen their security posture in an increasingly complex threat environment.

Your Sensitive Data Isn't in One Place Anymore - It's in 47 Copies

In this video, you will learn why locking down source systems like your CRM, HR database, and S3 buckets leaves your real risk surface exposed, how one regulated file fragments into CSV exports, screenshots, scripts, and AI prompts that shed their security context at every hop, and why both legacy DLP and traditional DSPM fail to act on these invisible derivatives. You will also learn how lineage-focused DSPM tracks the provenance of the data payload itself — every copy, paste, and save — so you can enforce policy on fragments instead of guessing from patterns.

Why 72% of Security Budgets Are Aimed at the Wrong Thing | Reach Security x Insurity

72% of security budgets still go to detection and response, not prevention. That is the thread running through the latest episode of The Security Strategist, where EM360Tech's Shubhangi Dua talks with Garrett Hamilton, CEO of Reach Security, and Jay Wilson, CIO and CISO at Insurity. With the majority of budgets still pointed at detection and response, the conversation makes the case for swinging the pendulum back toward prevention, and why the tech can finally back it up.

Getting API Credentials Just Got A Lot Simpler

If you've built an integration with Egnyte, you know the process: register at developers.egnyte.com, create an account, wait for approval, and get your credentials. It works, but for admins who simply want to start making API calls against their own domain, the process isn’t simple or fast enough. Starting today, that changes. Egnyte admins can now generate Collaborate API credentials directly from the Egnyte App Store—no external registration, no approval wait, no context-switching.

AI across the security lifecycle

For nearly a decade, the security industry has used machine learning to solve detection. By feeding it enough logs and determining abnormal behaviors, it found the threats that rules-based systems miss. This delivered sharper anomaly detection, fewer false positives, and UEBA is now essential. In fact, threat detection and analytics account for close to 44% of total SIEM spend, the single largest use case by far. Using machine learning for detection was only the start.

Persona supports France and Germany EUDI Wallets for secure, private identity verification

Across Europe, two major regulatory deadlines are arriving that will reshape the mechanics of identity verification for EU-regulated businesses. By the end of 2026, eIDAS 2.0 will require organizations to accept EUDI Wallets for online services where electronic identification or authentication is necessary. That obligation covers state, regional, and local authorities; bodies governed by public law; and certain private entities that are required to provide public services.

Major Security Event: Fortinet VPN Credentials and Configuration Data Exposed for 73,000 Devices

A large-scale credential compromise campaign known as FortiBleed has exposed verified administrator credentials for more than 73,000 internet-facing Fortinet FortiGate firewalls. As of mid-June 2026, the dataset is reportedly circulating within criminal underground communities. Researchers estimate that approximately 50% of all internet-reachable FortiGate devices may be affected across 194 countries, making this one of the most significant Fortinet security incidents to date.
