With their outdated technology and high costs, legacy codebases hold enterprises back. But in many cases, the prospect of migrating to modern cloud native, open source languages1  seems even worse. Migration projects typically require significant time and money. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have emerged to help, but many businesses fear they will expose their intellectual property, hallucinate errors or fail on large codebases because of their prompt limits. And that leaves them with daunting manual…

Two significant security vulnerabilities in networking utility OpenSSH have been uncovered by security researchers. These flaws, identified as CVE-2025-26465 and CVE-2025-26466, pose risks of man-in-the-middle (MitM) and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. The vulnerabilities, reported by the Qualys Security Advisory team, have prompted the release of OpenSSH 9.9p2, which addresses these issues. Details of the Vulnerabilities CVE-2025-26465: Man-in-the-Middle Attack The first vulnerability (CVE-2025-26465) relates to the VerifyHostKeyDNS feature in the OpenSSH client.

Chinese nation-state group Mustang Panda is leveraging legitimate Microsoft tools to bypass security defenses, specifically ESET antivirus applications. Researchers from recently Trend Micro highlighted the novel technique, which aims to maintain control over compromised systems to exfiltrate sensitive data. Microsoft Application Virtualization Injector (MAVInject.exe) is used to inject Mustang Panda’s payload into waitfor.exe. This is a Windows utility that is used to send or wait for signals between networked computers. In this case, it is…

A new and highly sophisticated variant of the Snake Keylogger malware has been identified by cybersecurity researchers at Fortinet. This strain, responsible for over 280 million blocked infection attempts worldwide, is designed to steal sensitive user data, including credentials, browser information and clipboard activity. The highest concentrations of infection have been reported in China, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan and Spain – though the threat remains global. How Snake Keylogger Operates According to a new advisory by Fortinet’s FortiGuard…

Tenable®, the exposure management company, today announced the launch of Identity 360 and Exposure Center, two new Tenable Identity Exposure capabilities designed to help organizations pinpoint identity risks and take swift, targeted action to prevent identity-based attacks.  Identity management has become fragmented, leading to identity sprawl – a tangled web of accounts, permissions and misconfigurations across disparate platforms. This fragmentation severely limits visibility and risk detection, weakens access controls, and increases the threat of privilege…

Security researchers have lifted the lid on one of the fastest growing and formidable ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) groups of 2025.

The threat intelligence vendor claimed that BlackLock could become the most active RaaS group of 2025. Although, like many…

In parallel, building the organizational constructs around data quality also requires addressing data governance in parallel and supporting roles for data custodians, stewards and a centralized or federated data governance model to support credible and consistent enterprise data catalogs and products. With an enterprise data platform in place that supports a business-ready zone for consumption as well as appropriate governance, a critical machine learning readiness step is also in place. This can address data anomalies,…
