In January 2026, the AV-TEST Institute published results from a rigorous advanced threat protection (ATP) test that examined how effectively current security products defend Windows systems against sophisticated malware attacks. As attackers increasingly leverage legitimate features and subtle techniques to penetrate defenses, this test provides insight into which solutions can truly recognize and mitigate these threats.

Running a SOC has never been cheap — but in 2026, it’s become unsustainable. The combination of surging alert volumes, rising labor costs, sprawling tool stacks, and skyrocketing breach expenses has pushed the traditional model to the breaking point.

CVE-2026-24858 is an authentication bypass vulnerability affecting FortiCloud’s Single Sign-On (SSO) implementation. Under certain conditions, the flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass standard authentication checks and gain access to FortiCloud services without valid credentials. The root cause is tied to insufficient validation within the SSO authentication flow, where trust boundaries between identity assertions and session establishment are not enforced strictly enough.

In security, we never assume perfection. We assume zero-trust, and we design controls to limit the blast radius. That mindset is missing from many OpenClaw deployments today. It is almost impossible not to hear about the new personal AI assistant, OpenClaw (formerly known as ClawdBot and MoltBot). Since its release in November 2025, it has taken the tech world by storm, rapidly accumulating well over 100,000 stars, tens of thousands of forks, and millions of visitors.

A few days ago, I published a post about why OpenClaw feels like a portal to the future, and why that future is scary in a very specific way.

We are excited to announce Platform Release 829, a major update designed to give you surgical control over your monitoring environment while bringing the Mac Agent closer to feature parity with Windows. This release focuses on delivering greater flexibility in tracking, ensuring privacy and security go hand-in-hand. Here is a summary of the new features and improvements available in this release. For an extensive list, please refer to the detailed Release Notes.

The difference between a secure organization and a breached one depends on how well security is embedded into the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Is security a built-in capability, or was it added after the core architecture was already in place? When it’s the latter, security is scattered and breaches happen.
