With attackers able to move at AI speed, defenders cannot rely on the techniques and instincts they have come to trust.   "That means putting in place stronger identity controls," said Jack Butler, a senior enterprise solutions engineer at Sumo Logic, a SecOps vendor.  "That means putting in place the more robust logging program and correlation engines to detect all of these in real time and reassess signals of trust. It needs to be reassessed dynamically."[1]

As for what to do about the substan

SonicWall has launched its 2026 Cyber Protect Report, marking a significant shift in how the organization presents threat intelligence.  Rather than focusing solely on raw data, the report prioritizes protection outcomes for business leaders.  The findings indicate that while the volume of attacks remains high, adversaries are becoming more precise, with medium and high-severity incidents rising by over 20% to reach 13 billion hits.

One of the most significant findings in the 2026 report is the

Over the last several years, academia and industry have been converging on a shorter and more realistic timeline to Q-Day.  While new research continues to move the Q-Day timeline up to 2028-2030, the scale and scope of the impact have been less clear.  Broadly, the expectation has been that quantum attacks on cryptography would be serious, but there has been less information on which to base estimates of their speed, accessibility, and breadth.  Two new research papers, released within a day of

Across boardrooms and IT departments, a dangerous assumption continues to grow because data resides in Microsoft 365 and Azure it is automatically secure.  This belief is fundamentally flawed and creates a false sense of protection that masks real exposure, turning what should be a strategic cloud advantage into a ticking time bomb quietly building risk inside the organization’s own environment.[1]

Microsoft builds the platform; it does not defend your specific environment.  What you monitor, ho

In the modern corporate landscape, cybersecurity has long been viewed as a necessary expense a "grudge purchase" designed to prevent disaster.  A groundbreaking study presented at the 59th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) | 2026 provides the first empirical evidence that cybersecurity is a driver of financial success.  The paper, titled "Effects of Cybersecurity Readiness on Firm Performance: Evidence from Conference Calls," introduces a novel way to measure a company's

The financial sector remains a prime target for cyber-attacks, with attackers constantly seeking to exploit vulnerabilities across the industry's global supply chain.   Cyber risk intelligence firm Bitsight has conducted a comprehensive analysis, mapping 41,511 financial organizations and 50,232 relationships with third-party technology providers.  The aim is to shed light on the hidden pillars of the financial sector and enhance resilience against cyber threats.[1]

The United States federal government has ended its longstanding support for the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), a trusted program for sharing cyber threat intelligence that state and local governments have relied on for years.  The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) confirmed that its cooperative agreement with the Center for Internet Security (CIS) the nonprofit that runs MS-ISAC expired on 30 September 2025.  With federal funding now cut,

Vendor-related risks, from both tech providers and non-tech partners, have always been a concern, but they’re now becoming increasingly apparent in a growing number of cyber insurance claims.  While data breaches were once the main concern, we are now seeing more severe first-party losses caused by ransomware attacks and major system outages.  These issues are not always the result of a cyberattack, either.  Sometimes they come from non-malicious errors, like critical system failures or software
