A roundup across consumer apps, enterprise ERP, public safety vendors, and AI dev tools — and what CISOs should do next.
The mortgage industry’s biggest risk in 2026 won’t be interest rates or origination volume—it’ll be data compliance maturity.
For the modern CISO, cybersecurity news isn't just about threats; it's about strategic risk assessment and resource allocation. This week's news underscores three critical areas requiring immediate attention: high-value vulnerability mitigation, aggressive third-party risk, and the dire consequences of poor MFA hygiene. .
Today delivered a trifecta of crises proving that security debt, supply chain complexity, and zero-day urgency remain top threats to the enterprise. From massive data leaks targeting critical ERP systems to hardware-level flaws shattering confidential computing, CISOs must immediately shift resources to address systemic weaknesses highlighted by the recent headlines. .
Today, I unpack the massive October 2025 Patch Tuesday, covering exploited Windows zero-days, critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Connect and major ICS vendors like Red Lion, Siemens, and Rockwell. Plus, a deep dive into why enterprise organizations must ditch synced passkeys for device-bound credentials to prevent sophisticated authentication downgrade attacks. .
This week, we dive into Operation ZeroDisco, where threat actors deployed rootkits onto older Cisco routers by exploiting a recent zero-day. We also analyze the consequences of the Discord breach, F5's revelation of a nation-state attack that stole source code, and the massive crypto "pig butchering" scam that led to the seizure of over $14 billion in Bitcoin. .
Today we dive into critical updates for BIND against high-severity cache poisoning flaws, the zero-day exploitation of Lanscope Endpoint Manager that requires immediate federal attention, and the serious governance concerns raised by "vibe coding" and AI-generated code's lack of judgment. .
When we talk about the next frontier in cyber risk, it’s no longer just IoT, cloud, or identity. It’s the rise of agentic AI; autonomous software agents that think, act and in many cases, operate with minimal human oversight. And those agents bring a radically expanded attack surface. .
In late October 2025, security researcher Johann Rehberger published a proof‑of‑concept demonstrating how the network‑enabled code interpreter and Files API in Anthropic’s Claude model could be abused to exfiltrate private data. .
A CISO’s perspective on securing agentic AI: understanding active AI agents, the new threats they introduce, and a six‑principle framework to enable innovation safely.
