As organizations increasingly rely on Microsoft Teams for internal and external collaboration, the platform’s chat and file-sharing capabilities have become central to daily operations. However, speed and flexibility come with risk. User-managed collaboration tools can create challenges in maintaining control over data access and enforcing compliance with organizational sharing and usage policies.

Security leaders are under pressure to reduce risk faster while proving value to the board and controlling costs as environments expand across cloud, identity, and SaaS. Traditional SIEM pricing models were not built for this reality. They charge equally for every gigabyte of data and often introduce unpredictable AI consumption costs, forcing security teams to manage budgets instead of focusing on risk.

The number of ransomware attacks increased by 50% in 2025, even though the number of victims who decided to pay the ransom fell to an all-time low, according to a new report from Chainalysis. The size of the ransom for victims who did pay increased significantly, growing 368% year-over-year to nearly $60,000. The total ransom payments observed by Chainalysis last year amounted to $820 million.

Cybercriminals don’t rest. Neither should your defenses. As digital threats grow more advanced and persistent, organizations face a harsh reality: traditional security controls alone are no longer enough.

AppsFlyer’s JavaScript SDK has been compromised in an active supply chain attack. Websites loading the script are serving malicious code to their users without any changes to their own codebase.

Canadian small and midsize businesses are increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyber threats, yet most lack the internal resources required to deploy and operate enterprise-level security. Today, WatchGuard and Bell Cyber are addressing that gap through a new strategic partnership and the launch of CyberShield Connect, a fully managed cybersecurity service designed specifically for Canadian SMEs.

Development teams are shipping faster than ever. Generative AI coding assistants, early agentic workflows, and increasingly modular architectures have compressed the distance between concept and deployment. AI-enabled innovation has become an executive mandate, and teams are expected to deliver at speed without sacrificing security or compliance.
