It’s a pattern across enterprises: business agility collides with security requirements.

Gmail has always been a common target for cybercriminals, and with the arrival of advanced AI tools, the threat level has increased significantly. Now, attackers no longer rely on generic phishing emails or scam methods. They are using AI to create convincing messages and imitate real support agents to make attacks look more genuine. This change in attack patterns has made Gmail users more vulnerable because they can’t differentiate between real and fake messages.

It seems as though we’ve been talking about the zero trust model for years. Although it isn’t a new concept, only now has it really managed to transition from theory to practice. This cybersecurity framework ‒ based on implicit distrust ‒ used to seem somewhat abstract, more like a strategic idea than an actual strategy. Today, however, we’re witnessing a paradigm shift that’s making it possible to implement zero trust effectively.

Ransomware attacks target your backups before anything else. Recent data shows that two-thirds of organizations faced ransomware in the past two years, with attackers specifically hunting backup infrastructure to eliminate recovery options.

From secure service mesh rollouts to AI cluster hardening, see how KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2025 redefined identity, trust, and governance in Kubernetes environments.

Let’s catch up on the more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news gathered from articles across the web this week. This is what we have been reading about on our coffee break! Heard of this thing called rate limiting on API? Perhaps not.

We are reducing the number of supported major versions of Teleport from three to two. We are extending the support for each major version to 24 months.
