The European Union is building a new line of defense. On 26 August 2025, the European Commission and the EU Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) signed a contribution agreement that hands ENISA the keys to the EU Cybersecurity Reserve. The deal comes with funding: €36 million over three years. ENISA's mission is straightforward, if not simple. It will administer, operate, and monitor the bloc’s emergency cyber response capabilities.

As Fortra’s new File Integrity Monitoring Buyer’s Guide states, “What was once a security control for simple file changes now ensures integrity across organizations’ entire systems.” The landscape has evolved significantly since Fortra’s Tripwire introduced file integrity monitoring (FIM) over twenty years ago.

Since the floodgates opened in November 2022 (at the arrival of ChatGPT), there has been one question on everyone’s mind: Is AI going to take my job? While the answers range from yes to no to maybe, there are ways to ride the AI wave without being subsumed by it. The way skilled professionals will do that, especially within cybersecurity, all depends on how well they know the industry—and how well they understand the value of their place in it.

Every modern car is a data machine. It records where you go, when you go, how you drive, and often, who is with you. This information flows quietly from vehicle to manufacturer. In California, the law is clear. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) has been in effect since 2020, giving people the right to see, limit, and delete personal data. But a right is only as strong as the tools that allow you to use it.

The Cloud Security Alliance, a respected non-profit founded in 2008 to pursue cloud security assurance, has now unveiled its Artificial Intelligence Controls Matrix (AICM), a quiet revolution for trustworthy AI. It has come at a time when generative AI and large language models are moving quickly into every sector. These systems can transform business, but they can also fail, or be made to fail. Because of this, trust becomes the measure of success.

Scammers are opportunists. Nasty ones. They prey on the most fundamental human needs: On the surface, a food-assistance scam and a fake-friend scam may seem worlds apart. One promises food, the other companionship. But underneath, they follow the same psychological playbook: build trust, create urgency, extract resources. In this blog, we’ll unpack two real-world scams – SNAP scams and friendship scams – how they work, why they work, and, most importantly, how to fight back against them.

I still remember the soft whir of the server room fans and that faint smell of ozone when we, a team of cybersecurity analysts, traced a spike in traffic to a “harmless” low-code workflow. A store manager had built a nifty dashboard to pull sales numbers. It looked tidy, almost playful – boxes, arrows, green check marks. Under the hood, it was hitting an internal API without proper authentication.

Amid a surge in cryptocurrency-related cybercrime, MITRE has unveiled AADAPT (Adversarial Actions in Digital Asset Payment Technologies), a brand-new framework designed to shore up cybersecurity weaknesses within digital financial systems such as cryptocurrency.

NATO has fundamentally redefined what it means to defend the alliance. At the 2025 NATO Summit in The Hague, allies made a commitment to investing 5% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annually on core defense requirements and defense and security-related spending by 2035. This represents a dramatic escalation from the previous 2% GDP benchmark. The commitment also includes a condition about how they are to invest that money.

A recent report states that Indian healthcare institutions face a total of 8,614 cyberattacks every week. That is more than four times the global average and over double the amount faced by any other industry in India. If the feeling was in the air before, the numbers leave no doubt; India’s healthcare sector is an irresistible target for today’s attackers.
