On August 11, 2026, a security researcher publicly released a proof-of-concept called ShieldBreak, a full bypass of Microsoft’s own July patch (RoguePlanet) for a Windows Defender privilege-escalation flaw, with a reported 100% success rate against Windows 11 25H2 and Windows Server 2025. No vendor fix existed for the bypass. The only real defense was whoever moved first.

More teams are building Apps in Tines Stories to deliver their most important work. This month, you can connect Apps to your Tines data, assign clear ownership, and share view access through your identity provider. Bring your data directly into an app. Apps can now read cases, records, and resources through built-in Workbench functions, so you spend less time configuring Workbench tools and building endpoints to interact with your data..

On 4 September 2026, attackers began exploiting an unpatched remote code execution flaw in Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce. Dutch e-commerce security firm Sansec disclosed the issue on 5 September and named it StyleSmuggler. The company said it published early because stores were being compromised in real time.

A Technical blog series on where sensitive data moves in an AI workflow, what decisions Protecto makes at each point, and what enterprises get from enforcing policy once instead of everywhere.

Enterprise software delivery is accelerating with more applications, more teams, more pipelines, more third-party code shipping faster than ever. And you can add the compounding risks of AI onto all of that. At the same time, compliance pressure is rising across development, security, and audit teams.

A maximum-severity (CVSS 10.0) vulnerability CVE-2026-86218 has been discovered in N-able N-central prior to build 2026.3.1.14. This flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the N-central server before authentication enabling remote takeover of the platform. The vulnerability is classified as static code injection (consistent with CWE-96) in a public-facing application endpoint.

The NIST’s changes in how the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) operates have fundamentally shifted how organizations interpret the vulnerabilities published in this go-to registry. In the past, the NVD provided vulnerability enrichment data, such as CVSS scores, affected products, CWE classifications, and reference links.

Most security teams don’t lose the fight against data breaches because they lack tools. They lose because their tools don’t talk to each other. This is exactly the loophole that SIEM and DLP were built to close, together. Security information and event management gives you visibility into what’s happening across your entire environment. At the same time, data loss prevention gives you the control to stop sensitive information from leaving in the first place.

Enterprises today manage thousands of identities across employees, contractors, applications, APIs, and machine-driven systems. In most environments, identities have become the primary security boundary, yet access remains fragmented, overprovisioned, and difficult to track. According to IBM's X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, identity-based attacks now account for nearly one-third of all intrusions, highlighting how identity has become one of the most targeted layers in modern cybersecurity.
