A business ecosystem is a borderless entity. Where organizations operate across vast, global networks, achieving a comprehensive view of their digital operations is a major challenge. Security leads, faced with increasing pressure to provide accurate and timely reports on their company’s digital health to the board, are struggling to gain a clear picture. The root of this problem lies in the fragmented nature of many businesses’ technology stacks. A mix of disparate tools, outdated legacy systems, and a blend of cloud and on-premises infrastructure creates a complex and often opaque environment. Add the considerations of hybrid working and bring your…

Introduction are one of the oldest and most popular forms of machine learning used for classification and regression. It’s unsurprising, then, that there’s a lot of content about them. However, most of it seems to focus on how the algorithms work, covering areas such as Gini impurity or error-minimisation. While this is useful knowledge, I’m more interested in how best to use decision trees to get the results I want — after all, my job doesn’t involve reinventing the tree, only growing them. Additionally, decision trees are some of the most easily visualised machine learning techniques, providing high interpretability, yet…

Google has patched a critical graphics library vulnerability in the Chrome browser, discovered by its AI-powered detection tool, Google Big Sleep. Google has released the Chrome Stable version 139.0.7258.154/.155 for Windows, macOS, and Linux, addressing a critical security vulnerability. Users are advised to update their browsers as the patch will roll out over the coming days. The vulnerability known as CVE-2025-9478, a use-after-free issue in the ANGLE graphics library, was caught by Google’s own AI security tool, Big Sleep (aka Google Big Sleep). Rather than human researchers, this autonomous agent flagged the vulnerability on August 11, 2025 then human researchers…

KnowBe4, the human risk management cybersecurity platform, has released its latest research paper “Financial Sector Threats Report,” uncovering critical insights into the escalating cybersecurity crisis facing the global financial sector. The report shows that financial institutions face a perfect storm of AI-enhanced attacks, credential theft and supply chain vulnerabilities that pose systemic risks to the global financial industry. The research reveals almost all (97%) of major U.S. banks experienced third-party breaches in 2024, while targeted intrusions against financial institutions increased by 109% year-over-year. Most concerning, tests in large financial institutions found that nearly 45% of employees were likely to click…

NSA, NCSC, and allies detailed TTPs associated with Chinese APT actors targeting critical infrastructure Orgs Pierluigi Paganini August 28, 2025 NSA and allies warn that Chinese APT actors, including Salt Typhoon, are targeting critical infrastructure worldwide. The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and allies warn Chinese APT actors, linked to Salt Typhoon, are targeting global telecom, government, transport, lodging, and military sectors. “The National Security Agency (NSA) and other U.S. and foreign organizations are releasing a joint Cybersecurity Advisory to expose advanced persistent threat (APT) actors sponsored by the Chinese government targeting telecommunications, government, transportation,…

Cycuity introduces Radix-ST, a new product in its Radix portfolio of security solutions designed to leverage static analysis techniques to identify potential weaknesses early in the design cycle without requiring simulation or emulation. As hardware designs become increasingly complex and security threats grow, semiconductor design teams require effective tools capable of proactively identifying issues during the development process. Analogous to functional verification, security assurance can greatly benefit from a spectrum of complementary technologies. While dynamic methods such as Radix-S and Radix-M are most powerful by leveraging simulation and emulation, Radix-ST’s static analysis only requires RTL (Register Transfer Level) source code…

Scam calls have long been a problem for consumers and enterprises, but a new study suggests they may soon get an upgrade. Instead of a human scammer on the other end of the line, future calls could be run entirely by AI. ScamAgent system architecture Researchers at Rutgers University have shown how LLM agents can be used to carry out convincing scam conversations that bypass current AI guardrails. The project, called ScamAgent and led by Sanket Badhe, demonstrates how multi-turn AI systems can run a scam from start to finish while adapting to the responses of a target. How ScamAgent…

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Tuesday released its Software Acquisition Guide: Supplier Response Web Tool, a free interactive resource designed to help industry leaders, procurement teams, and software suppliers strengthen cybersecurity across the procurement lifecycle. By breaking down the Software Acquisition Guide into a more practical format, the tool addresses a longstanding challenge in software supply chain security of turning high-level recommendations into actionable steps that procurement professionals can realistically follow. Designed to break down the Software Acquisition Guide into manageable sections, the tool tailors organizational experience by prompting only the most relevant questions based on…
