The Attacker Never Sleeps, Neither Can Your Testing

A few months ago, I wrote that AI is building your attack surface faster than you can test it. I stand by every word I wrote then. But in the months since, after more than a hundred conversations with CISOs, CIOs, and CTOs across nearly every industry and geography, I've watched the picture get sharper, and a lot more urgent. The attack surface was only half the story, because the attacker profile has changed too.

CVE-2026-56164: Unauthenticated SharePoint Zero-Day Grants Farm Administrator Access

Microsoft released patches for over 570 vulnerabilities in its July 2026 Patch Tuesday, the largest security update in the company’s history, including two zero-days already under active exploitation. Among them, one stands out for how it is being exploited right now: an unauthenticated vulnerability in SharePoint Server that allows an unauthenticated attacker to elevate privileges to Farm Administrator.

Top Vulnerability Scanner Tools Open Source 2026

Running a vulnerability scan is the easy part. The hard part starts when your queue fills with duplicate findings, stale CVEs, and reports that don't tell you what's exposed in production. If you're trying to build a practical vulnerability scanner tools open source stack in 2026, the key question isn't which scanner exists, it's which scanner fits your environment and feeds cleanly into your SIEM/XDR workflow so you can prioritize what matters.

America's New Security Doctrine: Hardening Digital and Supply Chain Borders

In the span of six weeks this summer, the United States government issued three separate security directives that, on the surface, appear to address completely different problems. One tightens how federal agencies patch software vulnerabilities. Another creates a government-industry clearinghouse to triage AI-discovered bugs. The third restructures how defense contractors source the raw materials that go into missiles, aircraft, and military electronics. Different agencies. Different languages.

Don't Wait for a Crisis: Rehearse Your Zero-Day Response

How do you prepare for a zero-day attack before one impacts your organization? In this video, Daniel dos Santos explains why security teams should use past vulnerabilities and real-world attack scenarios to rehearse response plans. By testing decisions, controls, communications, and recovery actions—not just documentation—organizations can build confidence and improve readiness for future threats.

The Generator Can't Be the Validator: What OpenAI's Hugging Face Incident Proves About AI Security

Every so often, an industry gets a moment that quietly redraws where the line is — not because anything was said, but because something was proven. AI security had one of those moments last week, and it's worth being direct about that before getting into the details: this wasn't an incremental data point. It was the moment a risk that security and safety researchers had described in theory for years showed up, fully formed, in a disclosed incident report.

Why ESG Data Security Is Becoming a Business Priority

As businesses increasingly focus on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, the data behind these efforts is becoming as important as financial information. This shift, along with using AI to analyse and report on sustainability metrics, has introduced new cybersecurity risks. Protecting this sensitive data isn't just an option anymore; it's a core part of corporate responsibility and managing risk. With AI involved, the potential for sophisticated data manipulation introduces AI as an emerging risk dimension that security teams need to deal with.

Emerging Threat: (CVE-2026-10818) WPForms Pro Arbitrary File Upload Leading to Remote Code Execution

CVE-2026-10818 is an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in WPForms Pro, the paid edition of a widely deployed WordPress form builder plugin. It was published on July 25, 2026, with Wordfence as the assigning CNA. The flaw sits in the ajax_chunk_upload_finalize function, which handles the final step of a chunked file upload. File type validation runs after the chunk metadata and the file contents have already been written to disk, and the assembled file is not deleted when that validation fails.
