Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

On 27 April 2026, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) will officially implement Cyber Essentials v3.3, delivered through a new self-assessment question set known as Danzell, which replaces the previous Willow set. The foundational five technical controls remain the bedrock of the scheme, but this latest iteration tightens wording, scoping, and marking criteria in ways that have immediate consequences.

The OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications defines the most common AI agent risks, but real attacks unfold across multiple stages of behavior. Behavioral analytics detects those risks by modeling how users, AI agents, and their interactions change over time. By observing deviations across inputs, processing, and outputs, security operations teams can identify insider‑driven and agent‑driven threats that traditional, event‑based detection misses.

Last week, researchers at OX Security published findings that should stop every security leader in their tracks. They discovered a critical vulnerability baked directly into Anthropic's Model Context Protocol SDK, affecting every supported language: Python, TypeScript, Java, and Rust. The result: remote code execution on any system running a vulnerable MCP implementation, with direct access to sensitive user data, internal databases, API keys, and chat histories. Over 7,000 publicly accessible servers.

OWASP Penetration Testing is a specialized type of security testing that focuses on attack vectors and vulnerabilities listed in OWASP Top 10. An organization’s security landscape is complex, and thus it is essential to test the organization’s security measures to ensure that they are working correctly. OWASP’s (Open Web Application Security Project) compiled a list of the top 10 attacks named OWASP Top 10 for multiple technologies such as Web Applications, Cloud, Mobile Security, etc.

Security doesn’t stop at the perimeter. The “inside” of your network often harbors many overlooked risks. To address this, ealier this year we launched Detectify Internal Scanning, designed to bring our world-class vulnerability research directly into your private ecosystems.

On April 7, 2026, Anthropic fundamentally altered the AI landscape by announcing it would withhold its next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) model, Claude Mythos, from public release.

Why the next Log4Shell will be won or lost in the first 72 hours—and what a modern zero‑day workflow looks like. Every security team remembers where they were when Log4Shell dropped. A quiet Friday afternoon in December 2021 turned into a weekend of war rooms, emergency patches, and executive updates. Years on, the Log4j fallout still shows up in breach reports—a stubborn reminder that zero‑days don’t end when the news cycle does.

A developer clones a repository and opens it in VS Code at 10:47 a.m. Before their cursor blinks, six different configuration file formats on disk have a chance to execute shell commands on the host. A.vscode/tasks.json with runOn: folderOpen. A.devcontainer/devcontainer.json with initializeCommand. A post-checkout hook already sitting in.git/hooks/. A postinstall line waiting in package.json for the next dependency install. A.envrc in the project root.
