Microsoft Agent 365, now generally available, expands capabilities and integrations (Microsoft)
Microsoft Agent 365 helps you take control of agent sprawl as your control plane to observe, govern, and secure agents and their interactions—including agents built with Microsoft AI and agents from our ecosystem partners—using the admin and security workflows your teams already run.

Why modern licensing matters: Simplifying operations, reducing risk, and driving better outcomes with Citrix LAS (Citrix)
LAS is designed to reduce fragility. By moving licensing activation to a cloud-based service, Citrix removes many of the failure scenarios tied to static files and manual processes. The result is a more resilient licensing foundation that aligns with modern expectations for reliability and uptime.

Beyond Patch SLAs: Continuous Protection in the Frontier AI Era (Cato Networks)
If AI accelerates vulnerability discovery, the response cannot be limited to disclosure processes or patch timelines. It must be an operating model that continuously reduces exposure across production systems, corporate security, AI usage, deployment pipelines, and customer-facing protections.

The Dangerous Momentum of Autodownload Phishing (Palo Alto Networks)
Modern phishing campaigns are no longer trying to convince users. They are trying to outrun them. By forcing an automatic progression from click to download, attackers eliminate the moment of hesitation entirely by forcing files to download instantly using trusted cloud platforms like Dropbox and Google Drive.

Abuse of Microsoft Dynamics Redirects Delivers Phishing Payloads at Scale (Varonis)
What made this campaign noteworthy was not just its scale, but how cleanly it operated—demonstrating how trusted platforms can be weaponized without breach, compromise, or misconfiguration.

Managing Data Lake Data: best practices for scalability and efficiency (Cribl)
Managing a data lake is a control problem, not just a storage problem, without clear ingestion, governance, and lifecycle practices; even well-built lakes turn into expensive data swamps. The highest-leverage move is to control data before it lands by filtering out low-value data, enriching records, masking sensitive information, and routing data to the right destination up front.

CAASM isn't dead — it evolved into asset intelligence (Axonius)
With asset intelligence powering the workflow, that triage context is already built into the asset record. The system knows which assets carry the highest business risk, which ones have compensating controls, and which remediation actions are available through connected tools. Prioritization happens automatically.

Iranian hackers launch ransomware campaign looking to steal details via Microsoft Teams
An investigation into a recent attack from security researchers Rapid7 found how an unnamed victim was recently approached via Microsoft Teams, by someone from outside their organization. They posed as IT technicians, discussed solving a technical problem with the victim, and managed to get them to install and run an AnyDesk session.

The Death Star Problem in Cybersecurity
Without accurate, continuously updated attack surface management—and a disciplined, consistent way to operationalize this management—weaknesses stay invisible until they’re exploited. The Death Star Problem doesn’t come about because you lack data; it happens when you lack dependable, continuous processes to turn fragmented data into verified truth and sustained remediation.

From .NEXT to Now: What Nutanix and IGEL Are Solving in Modern EUC (IGEL)
More than half of organizations (54%) are now operating in hybrid cloud environments, yet most are still managing endpoints like it’s 2015. That mismatch is why complexity has crept into most mid-enterprise organizations. IT teams are managing modern infrastructure with outdated endpoint assumptions, leading to higher support costs, inconsistent security posture, and slower response during outages.

Why Real-Time Response is the Key to AI Security Success (Cyera)
Most AI security tools in place today are centered around visibility. They watch, log, and tell you what happened, but the damage is already done. When AI moves at machine speed, knowing what happened five minutes ago doesn't help you prevent what's happening right now.
