LiteLLM deployments can expose far more than an organization’s AI spending. Newly disclosed weaknesses in the open-source gateway could let attackers run code as root inside a container, reach connected tools, and retrieve cloud credentials that open a path into …

Threat actors are increasingly abusing Active Directory replication to impersonate domain controllers and steal password hashes from enterprise networks. This technique, known as a DCSync attack, can let attackers obtain credential data for privileged accounts without deploying malware directly on …

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added a critical Fortinet vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-25249, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog after confirming evidence of active exploitation. The flaw affects FortiOS, FortiSwitchManager, and FortiSASE products. It could allow attackers …

The OpenSSL Project has released OpenSSL 4.1.0 Alpha1, an early preview of its forthcoming feature release. This update adds support for Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) 1.3, GREASE for more resilient TLS deployments, and architecture-specific performance enhancements for post-quantum cryptography …

Palo Alto Networks has disclosed a high-severity PAN-OS vulnerability that could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges on affected PA-Series hardware firewalls. Tracked as CVE-2026-0310, the flaw exists in XML processing, and the vendor …

OpenAI has introduced a “Defense Factory,” an automated, agent-first cybersecurity operation that continuously discovers, validates, and remediates vulnerabilities. The company says traditional defenses may no longer be sufficient as long-running AI agents can chain exploits and scale attacks using increasingly …

Mac users seeking AI tools face a malware trap. Attackers are using fake Claude and ChatGPT installers and sponsored search results to push MacSync, a macOS password stealer. The campaign relies on persuasion instead of a software flaw. A visitor …

Bottom line up front: servers are not big laptops. They run Linux as often as Windows, can’t tolerate agent-induced latency, host the data ransomware actually wants, and increasingly live as VMs, containers, or cloud instances. Deploying dedicated endpoint detection and …

Bottom line up front: no single product “stops ransomware.” Modern attacks are staged intrusions initial access, credential theft, lateral movement, exfiltration, then encryption — and each stage has different controls. Deploying dedicated ransomware protection solutions requires organizing defenses across the …

Bottom line up front: the encryption engines are largely solved BitLocker and FileVault are strong, free, and built in. What you’re actually buying in 2026 is management: proof for auditors, key escrow and recovery, policy across mixed fleets, and pre-boot …
