Passkeys are a passwordless authentication method that allows users to sign in using biometrics (such as face recognition or fingerprint), PINs, or security patterns instead of traditional passwords.

The rise of autonomous AI agents is challenging the very foundation of enterprise security. These systems don’t just follow static workflows or code. They make independent decisions, take actions across systems, and in many cases, do so without human oversight. For CISOs, this shift introduces a new and urgent category of non-human identities (NHIs) that

An active campaign named ‘PhantomRaven’ is targeting developers with dozens of malicious npm packages that steal authentication tokens, CI/CD secrets, and GitHub credentials. The activity started in August and deployed 126 npm packages that counted more than 86,000 downloads. The Node Package Manager (NPM) is the default package manager for Node.js, used by JavaScript developers

The Anti-Malware Security and Brute-Force Firewall plugin for WordPress, installed on over 100,000 sites, has a vulnerability that allows subscribers to read any file on the server, potentially exposing private information. The plugin provides malware scanning and protection against brute-force attacks, exploitation of known plugin flaws, and against database injection attempts. Identified as CVE-2025-11705, the

Ten malicious packages mimicking legitimate software projects in the npm registry download an information-stealing component that collects sensitive data from Windows, Linux, and macOS systems. The packages were uploaded to npm on July 4, and remained undetected for a long period due to multiple layers of obfuscation that helped escape standard static analysis mechanisms. According to researchers at

The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security warned today that hacktivists have breached critical infrastructure systems multiple times across the country, allowing them to modify industrial controls that could have led to dangerous conditions. The authorities issued the warning to raise awareness of the elevated malicious activity targeting internet-exposed Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and the need

For years, patch management has been one of the least glamorous yet most consequential aspects of IT operations. Vulnerabilities emerge daily, and while most administrators know the importance of timely updates, the actual implementation is rarely straightforward. Between managing complex environments, balancing uptime requirements, and coordinating across distributed endpoints, many organizations end up with blind

Google announced today that the Chrome web browser will ask for permission by default before connecting to public, insecure HTTP websites, beginning with Chrome 154 in October 2026. Google Chrome also has an opt-in HTTPS-First Mode since 2021, which added the “Always Use Secure Connections” setting and attempts to connect to websites over HTTPS (HyperText

The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned today that attackers are actively exploiting two vulnerabilities in Dassault Systèmes’ DELMIA Apriso, a manufacturing operations management (MOM) and execution (MES) solution.
