A year ago, we talked about the seismic shift that artificial intelligence (AI) was bringing to business, and how the AI tech stack introduced new risks to the enterprise. But, we didn’t just talk about the potential; we showed you. We launched our “Secure AI by Design” portfolio, developed to help enterprises safely build and adopt AI. Since then, the world has seen a proliferation of applications that change how we interact with customers and increase employee productivity. The threat landscape for AI has also continued to shift and evolve as AI agents are being developed across every industry and…
Cryptocurrency custodian and broker BitGo is expanding its Solana staking rewards program.

Toronto, Canada, April 28th, 2025, CyberNewsWire Dismissal affirms no-logs policy as a valid legal defense, avoiding a chilling effect on privacy infrastructure providers worldwide. Windscribe, a globally used privacy-first VPN service, announced today that its founder, Yegor Sak, has been fully acquitted by a court in Athens, Greece, following a two-year legal battle in which Sak was personally charged in connection with an alleged internet offence by an unknown user of the service. The case centred around a Windscribe-owned server in Finland that was allegedly used to breach a system in Greece. Greek authorities, in cooperation with INTERPOL, traced the…
Can a Single Settlement Layer Power Rollups Across Ethereum, Solana, and Any L1? The blockchain ecosystem has long grappled with fragmentation, each layer-1 chain building its own scaling solutions, often with incompatible technologies. But what if rollups could settle on any base chain without modifying it? Dymension, a modular blockchain project, is positioning itself as the first to offer this kind of universal settlement layer with its latest upgrade, “Beyond.” Released today, “Beyond” allows developers to launch rollups using Ethereum, Solana, or any other L1 as a data layer, while Dymension handles the rest: security, bridging, and dispute resolution. The…

An eSIM, short for embedded SIM, is a digital version of a physical SIM card that’s already built into your phone or device. Instead of inserting a small plastic card to connect to a mobile network, you can activate or switch between mobile plans digitally, usually by scanning a QR code or using an app. With an eSIM, you don’t need to physically buy a card or wait for one to be delivered. As such, eSIMs are convenient and offer flexibility, making them popular among travelers. Yet, as with any newer technology, particularly one that’s tied to your mobile phone…
John Strand // I have quite a few calls with customers who do not know where to begin when it comes to application whitelisting. Often, the approach some organizations take is to try and implement full application whitelisting on every single application across their entire environment. While this goal is fun and seems like a good idea, it is not. But…. But Why? Because the overhead is insane. It is almost a full-time job keeping up with all the changes and working through patches. Some organizations try to buy a product that does this for them. This almost never works.…
Netskope announced expansion of the Netskope One platform to cover more AI security use cases, including enhanced protections for private applications and data security posture management (DSPM) attributes. While other vendors focus on enabling safe user access to AI applications, Netskope capabilities go much further by managing new risks introduced by the adoption and building of AI applications, providing a deep understanding of sensitive data being fed into large language models (LLMs) and assessing risk on AI models to make informed decisions on application selection and policy setting. Building on Netskope’s current, comprehensive protections for public SaaS and AI applications,…
The ransomware scene is re-organizing, with one gang known as DragonForce working to gather other operations under a cartel-like structure. DragonForce is now incentivizing ransomware actors with a distributed affiliate branding model, providing other ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operations a means to carry out their business without dealing with infrastructure maintenance cost and effort. A group’s representative told BleepingComputer that they’re purely financially motivated but also follow a moral compass and are against attacking certain healthcare organizations. Typically, a RaaS operation has its own affiliates or partners, and the ransomware developer provides the file-encrypting malware and the infrastructure. Affiliates would build a…
