The European Space Agency has confirmed a security breach involving science servers. A threat actor claimed to have stolen 200 GB of data, but ESA’s initial analysis suggests the impact is limited to unclassified systems used for collaborative engineering.
Enterprises are running a chaotic mix of old virtual machines, newer Kubernetes clusters, and modern serverless functions across different clouds. This hybrid, multi-generational mess has created a security gap that’s impossible for humans to manage alone. AI is becoming indispensable to spot threat
New data from cyber insurers shows a sharp rise in costly phishing claims, driving new tech priorities for 2026. The top recommendation isn’t a fancy new AI tool, but basic role-based access controls. Here’s what else made the list.
