We've heard everyone talk about digital privacy, cybersecurity, and how we should set a strong password, but what most people fail to understand is the why. Why is it important to set a strong password? Why do we have to activate two-factor authentication? Why are software updates important? Even though we have a vague idea of why we need to do these things, we really don't know the future implications if we don't secure our digital information.

In the process of fuzzing MS-RPC and Distributed File System (DFS) APIs, we discovered a one-packet mechanism set to crash an entire Windows server, which the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) later assigned as CVE-2026-70111.

Your MFA rollout is only as strong as the exception list nobody has looked at since it was created.

An AI agent produces a recommendation that looks reasonable. It's accurate. The model didn't hallucinate. Can the organization trust it? That depends on questions the output can't answer: Enterprise trust requires knowing where information came from, how it moved, what happened to it, and whether the process behind the result deserves confidence. Provenance is where that trust starts.

If you build, own, or secure software that touches protected health information (PHI), you already know that HIPAA compliance for healthcare applications is not a box you check before a release and forget until the next audit. It’s a continuous operating requirement, and the gap between what most teams actually do and what HIPAA demands is widening fast.

Singapore's labour market is changing, and the numbers show it. The Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) latest Q2 2026 labour report recorded 4,620 retrenchments in the second quarter of 2026, the highest since the end of 2020. Job vacancies slipped to 68,600, with the sharpest falls in professional roles in financial services and in information and communications. Laid-off residents are also taking longer to find their next role. Only 54.9% found work within six months, down from 60.7% the previous quarter.

Every vendor in this category now says the same word: agentic. I understand why. It’s what the market wants to hear. But when you’re the one signing the contract, “agentic” tells you almost nothing. I’ve sat on the buying side of enough of these conversations to know that the label and the capability are often two very different things.

In late September, 2026, CrowdStrike's Counter Adversary Operations team collaborated with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to disrupt several laptop farms operating across the U.S. maintained by DPRK-nexus adversary FAMOUS CHOLLIMA to fraudulently employ operatives at American companies while concealing their true location and identity.

Backup is not the outcome. Recovery is. When critical data becomes unavailable, businesses need more than a completed backup job. They need confidence that their data is protected, available and ready for recovery. That is why Acronis is introducing the Anti-Ransomware Recovery Warranty for eligible customers using Acronis Cloud Storage. The capability adds a clear recovery commitment to the secure cloud storage foundation customers already rely on.

Researchers at ReliaQuest have observed a surge in voice phishing (vishing) and Microsoft Teams phishing over the past several months, particularly from extortion groups like ShinyHunters. “Attackers overwhelmingly targeted users and their unmanaged devices to gain access to accounts,” the researchers write.
