World Password Day is no longer just a nudge to pick stronger passwords, it’s a moment to rethink identity. Attackers rarely “hack” systems today; they log in as you. Combine expert guidance on phishing, MFA, password managers, behavioral defenses, and new threats from AI and quantum computing to better secure your accounts now and for the future.

You know your servers need hardening. Getting leadership to prioritise, fund, and support the effort is the harder challenge. Here’s our experts’ best advice for how to talk to the C-suite and board about the need for automated server hardening. You already know the servers are drifting. Configurations change. Exceptions pile up. Standards slip over time. The hard part is not identifying the problem.

There’s a growing wave of “AI SOC” startups promising autonomous everything. They’ll triage your alerts, investigate threats, and even run your playbooks. Push a button, let the machine handle the mess, and enjoy the magic. It sounds great until the moment something breaks. Then everyone, not just security, asks the same question: “What exactly did it do?” And that’s when these systems turn into a liability.

Detect compromised devices before attackers act. CYJAX’s new alerting identifies stealer malware infections and exposed credentials in near real time. CYJAX today announced the launch of Compromised Device Alerting, a new capability designed to help organisations identify compromised devices within their environment before attackers can act on stolen credentials.

Let’s catch up on the more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news gathered from articles across the web this week. This is what we have been reading about on our coffee break! Watch out for the phishing folks.

Whether it’s vendors diagnosing GPU driver failures or network technicians troubleshooting switch configurations, organizations are often ready to do whatever it takes to get their infrastructure back to normal. For some, that may mean defaulting to the fastest access path available for third-party access, such as shared SSH keys, VPN credentials, or screen-sharing sessions.

In 2026, the gap between AI adoption and AI oversight has become a primary boardroom concern. While generative AI has supercharged productivity, it has also introduced Shadow AI: the unmanaged, invisible use of unauthorized AI apps and autonomous agents that operate outside the view of traditional IT security. In this guide, you’ll learn why Shadow AI is exponentially harder to detect than Shadow IT and, more importantly, how to build a modern detection framework. We’ll explore.

On April 29, 2026, a Linux kernel local privilege escalation vulnerability was publicly disclosed under the name "Copy Fail" (CVE-2026-31431). Cloudflare’s Security and Engineering teams began assessing the vulnerability as soon as it was disclosed. We reviewed the exploit technique, evaluated exposure across our infrastructure, and validated that our existing behavioral detections could identify the exploit pattern within minutes.

Every security leader knows the sequence. A new threat breaks; reports start circulating, and within minutes the same questions are moving through the organization. Are we exposed? Does this change our risk? What are we doing about it?
