An AI agent produces a recommendation that looks reasonable. It's accurate. The model didn't hallucinate. Can the organization trust it? That depends on questions the output can't answer: Enterprise trust requires knowing where information came from, how it moved, what happened to it, and whether the process behind the result deserves confidence. Provenance is where that trust starts.

If you build, own, or secure software that touches protected health information (PHI), you already know that HIPAA compliance for healthcare applications is not a box you check before a release and forget until the next audit. It’s a continuous operating requirement, and the gap between what most teams actually do and what HIPAA demands is widening fast.

Singapore's labour market is changing, and the numbers show it. The Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) latest Q2 2026 labour report recorded 4,620 retrenchments in the second quarter of 2026, the highest since the end of 2020. Job vacancies slipped to 68,600, with the sharpest falls in professional roles in financial services and in information and communications. Laid-off residents are also taking longer to find their next role. Only 54.9% found work within six months, down from 60.7% the previous quarter.

Every vendor in this category now says the same word: agentic. I understand why. It’s what the market wants to hear. But when you’re the one signing the contract, “agentic” tells you almost nothing. I’ve sat on the buying side of enough of these conversations to know that the label and the capability are often two very different things.

In late September, 2026, CrowdStrike's Counter Adversary Operations team collaborated with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to disrupt several laptop farms operating across the U.S. maintained by DPRK-nexus adversary FAMOUS CHOLLIMA to fraudulently employ operatives at American companies while concealing their true location and identity.

Backup is not the outcome. Recovery is. When critical data becomes unavailable, businesses need more than a completed backup job. They need confidence that their data is protected, available and ready for recovery. That is why Acronis is introducing the Anti-Ransomware Recovery Warranty for eligible customers using Acronis Cloud Storage. The capability adds a clear recovery commitment to the secure cloud storage foundation customers already rely on.

Researchers at ReliaQuest have observed a surge in voice phishing (vishing) and Microsoft Teams phishing over the past several months, particularly from extortion groups like ShinyHunters. “Attackers overwhelmingly targeted users and their unmanaged devices to gain access to accounts,” the researchers write.

Every major security regulation now asks the same question: can you prove your systems are securely configured? Few of them define what “secure” means. CIS Benchmarks fill that gap. Misconfiguration remains one of the easiest ways into an organisation. Default accounts, legacy protocols and inconsistent settings across thousands of servers hand attackers a foothold. Regulators have noticed.

Together, CloudCasa by Catalogic and Dell PowerStore provide a complete disaster recovery solution for Kubernetes environments — combining PowerStore’s native array-to-array replication with CloudCasa’s Kubernetes-aware orchestration. PowerStore handles the data path, synchronously or asynchronously, while CloudCasa discovers workloads, validates the DR plan, and rebuilds Deployments, StatefulSets, and KubeVirt VMs on the target cluster, reconnecting them to the recovered volumes.

Before you buy another security tool or remove an existing control, answer one question: how does your website actually present the payment form? For e-commerce merchants completing PCI DSS Self-Assessment Questionnaire A (SAQ A), that architectural detail matters. An embedded payment form, a redirect, and a fully outsourced payment process are different arrangements, with different implications for how the SAQ A script-attack eligibility criterion applies.
