Breach transparency remains one of cybersecurity’s toughest governance challenges.

Bruce Sussman of Bitdefender highlights a key finding from the 2026 Cybersecurity Assessment: 55.2% of professionals who experienced a breach were told to keep it confidential—even when they believed it should be reported to authorities.

Why awareness still doesn’t translate into readiness: https://thehackernews.com/expert-insights/2026/07/breach-transparency-remains.html

🔥 Alleged Scattered Spider hacker caught by his own Windows device ID.

Per a new court filing, he hid the attack behind proxies and fake names.

But #Microsoft records tied one device ID to his ngrok access, then to his personal accounts and trips. That overlap is how the FBI found him.

AI has changed the software supply chain question.

It is no longer just which packages, versions, and dependencies made it into the code. It is which agents, MCP tools, models, and prompts shaped the build.

Writer AI patched WriteOut, a one-click session isolation flaw in its enterprise AI platform.

A victim who clicked a public preview link while logged in could have their session cookie forwarded into an attacker-controlled sandbox, where it could be recovered and replayed.

4 Cities. 4 Intimate roundtables. One urgent conversation. 🌍

Security has no shortage of conversations. Honest ones are harder to find.

This summer, TryHackMe is bringing senior security leaders together in-person for Post-Mythos: Watch the Incident Readiness Gap. Their first roundtable series across Europe and the US.

Built for leaders who want to debrief on how to close the gaps that actually matter. The series will cover:

🧠 Where human judgement sits when AI is running the attack.
🛡️ What it takes to build a proactive, AI-fluent SOC.
⚠️ Whether your team is ready for a threat class that’s already here.

Pick your city. Claim your seat. 👉🏼

⚡Just dropped: SAIL 2.0 - the free and open-source framework for agentic AI security.

SAIL v1 gained more than 50,000 downloads and helped security teams build practical AI security roadmaps.

Now, SAIL 2.0 evolves that foundation for the agentic landscape, bringing a practical, process-oriented approach to:

✅ Build an AI security roadmap and benchmark maturity, phase by phase.
✅ Drive vendor assessments and RFPs with agentic-literate questions.
✅ Turn standards mappings into compliance checklists across the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, OWASP, DASF, and AIUC-1.
✅ Prioritize controls by zone, asset, risk, and agent autonomy.
