European AI adoption hits 99% with regulated data driving most policy violations

Generative AI tools operate inside nearly every European workplace, embedded in meeting transcription services, writing assistants, coding copilots, and search features. Workers in the region pull these tools into daily routines that involve customer records, financial information, and proprietary code, and that volume of activity has produced a measurable pattern in where data exposure occurs.…

New Deep#Door RAT uses stealth and persistence to target Windows

Deep#Door hides a Python RAT inside a batch file, kills Windows defenses, survives via multiple persistence methods, and exfiltrates data through a public TCP tunnel. Security researchers at Securonix uncovered a sophisticated malware campaign called Deep#Door. Threat actors employed a stealthy Python-based backdoor that uses a surprisingly simple delivery method to achieve deep, persistent access…

New Mirai variants target routers and DVRs in parallel campaigns

Hidden inside newly discovered botnet malware is an unusual message from its creator: “AI.NEEDS.TO.DIE”. Dubbed “tuxnokill” by researchers at Akamai, the malware is one of two fresh Mirai botnet variants documented this month by major cybersecurity firms and, judging by the aforementioned hard-coded string, this particular variant might have been coded the old-fashioned way. “Tuxnokill”…

Why Third-Party Risk Is the Biggest Gap in Your Clients’ Security Posture

The next major breach hitting your clients probably won’t come from inside their walls. It’ll come through a vendor they trust, a SaaS tool their finance team signed up for, or a subcontractor nobody in IT knows about. That’s the new attack surface, and most organizations are underprepared for it. Cynomi’s new guide, Securing the Modern Perimeter: The Rise of…

Runtime: The new frontier of AI agent security

AI agents are already operating inside enterprise networks, quietly doing some of the work employees once handled themselves — writing code, drafting emails, retrieving files, and connecting to internal systems. Sometimes they also make costly mistakes. At Meta, an employee asked an AI assistant to help manage her inbox. It deleted it instead. At Amazon,…

Everpure smashes AI infrastructure bottlenecks with Data Stream, Evergreen//One for AI, and the world’s fastest storage systems

Enterprise AI may be booming but the reality inside many organisations is far less glamorous: stalled pilots, overwhelmed infrastructure teams, and GPUs sitting idle waiting for data. Everpure has made its first major announcement since rebranding (from Pure Storage) and it’s a big one that brings welcome news to tech leaders around the world.

Iran-linked APT targets US critical sectors with new backdoors

An Iran-linked hacking group has been active inside the networks of several US organizations since early February, raising concerns that the activity could precede broader cyber operations connected to escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. New backdoors used by Seedworm Symantec and Carbon Black researchers have attributed the activity to Seedworm (aka MuddyWater), an…

Open-source security debt grows across commercial software

Open source code sits inside nearly every commercial application, and development teams continue to add new dependencies. Black Duck’s 2026 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis Report data shows that nearly all audited codebases contain open source components, with average component counts rising sharply over the past year. That growth brings a parallel increase in…

Security and complexity slow the next phase of enterprise AI agent adoption

Enterprise AI agents are embedded in routine business processes, particularly inside engineering and IT operations. Many organizations report active production deployments, and agent development ranks high on strategic agendas. A new study from Docker, The State of Agentic AI Report, examines how enterprises are deploying agentic systems and the challenges emerging as deployments scale. The…

Public mobile networks are being weaponized for combat drone operations

On June 1, 2025, Ukraine launched a coordinated drone strike on five airfields inside Russia, disabling or destroying aircrafts. The attack involved more than 100 drones carrying explosive payloads and targeting aircraft on the ground. The drones used mobile networks to transmit telemetry, receive instructions, and send back images during the operation, highlighting the integration…

Stop comparing safety and cybersecurity, they have very little in common

Nearly a year ago, we hosted Dug Song, the legendary founder of Duo Security, on Inside the Network. During that conversation, Dug shared a powerful analogy that has stuck with me. He explained that in aviation, a plane crashes the same way only once, or maybe twice. Whenever it happens, we get to the bottom…
