Explore cloud security lessons from IEEE Cloud Summit 2026, including agentic AI risks, over-permissioned identities, Kubernetes policy, and forensics.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud was ranked in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid Report for SaaS Backup, earning recognition as a Leader and one of the best SaaS backup solutions in the category. The ranking reinforces Acronis’ value for organizations and MSPs that need reliable protection for cloud applications such as Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, while managing backup and security from a unified platform.

Electricity supports nearly every function of modern life: hospitals, water systems, transportation, communications, emergency services, financial systems, manufacturing, national defense, and, most importantly, streaming services. Kidding, but our most critical systems run on electricity, and that makes us vulnerable to attacks.

I have lost count of the post-incident reviews where the most painful conversation was not about the breach itself. It was about the retainer. A CISO realizes the prepaid hours expired six weeks before the intrusion began. A General Counsel discovers the retained firm is not on the cyber insurance panel and the claim is now in dispute. A board member asks why an organization that paid for "preparedness" spent the first eighteen hours of an incident negotiating scope.

Automated vulnerability management uses continuous scanning, risk-based prioritization, and orchestrated remediation workflows to identify, assess, and fix security weaknesses with minimal manual intervention.

A massive public health system hardened its own network for years — and was still undone by a third-party vendor with weaker controls.

Customer telemetry shows how AI agents behave in a limited set of production environments and what risks they carry. Vulnerability research surfaces how those environments can be attacked. Both sources are valuable, but neither shows actual attacker behavior or how quickly they operationalize a new vulnerability once it's public.

CVE-2026-48558 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in SimpleHelp Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) software, caused by improper validation of OpenID Connect (OIDC) token signatures. When OIDC is configured with group-authenticated login settings, unauthenticated attackers can forge identity tokens to bypass multi-factor authentication and gain privileged technician-level access to vulnerable SimpleHelp servers — without valid credentials.

A suite of severe vulnerabilities has been disclosed in libssh2 (an SSH client library widely embedded in software such as curl, Git GUI clients, PHP, backup tools, and many IoT/embedded devices). The most critical, CVE-2026-55200 (CVSS 9.2/9.8), is a memory corruption bug in libssh2’s ssh2_transport_read() triggered by a malicious SSH server pre-authentication via a crafted packet_length.

brace-expansion is a very popular npm package with over 38 billion all-time downloads (yeah, over 38,000,000,000) and used by tooling almost every JavaScript project relies on - eslint, glob, and npm itself. Despite being in the public eye for a while, we found a new Denial-of-Service vulnerability that could affect millions. This post walks through what the package does, existing issues that were fixed, and the new one we found - CVE-2026-13149.
