Keeper Security recently released findings from a survey that explored how organisations manage AI-driven and non-human access. Insights from the in-person survey of cybersecurity professionals at Infosecurity Europe 2026 in London suggest that AI agents and Non-Human Identities (NHIs) are becoming more common in enterprise environments, while the governance approaches to handle them have been falling behind. Infosecurity Europe is one of the largest information security conferences in Europe, attracting practitioners, CISOs, and other security professionals to London each year. The survey conducted by Keeper collected responses...

Graham Cluley has spent more than three decades watching cybercrime grow from niche computer mischief into a boardroom threat.  The award-winning cyber security expert, speaker, blogger and podcaster began his career in the early 1990s, writing the first Windows version of Dr Solomon’s Anti-Virus Toolkit before holding senior roles at Sophos and McAfee. Today, he is one of the few voices in cyber security who can explain hacking, scams and AI risk without burying audiences...

New research by Mitel has revealed a widening gap between AI adoption and enablement, with limited support and low confidence contributing to the rise of Shadow AI and unapproved AI usage. The State of Workforce Communication report found that while workplace communication is mission-critical, tools are misaligned with how teams execute, forcing employees to quietly compensate at measurable cost to productivity, security and service quality. The global survey of 2,000 IT decision-makers (ITDMs) and desk...

This week the European Central Bank (ECB), which supervises about 111 of the eurozone's largest banks, convened at an urgent meeting with major lenders to accelerate efforts around AI security and heed caution on the cyber risks of AI. Officials have warned banks specifically about the risks linked to Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview and similar systems, amid growing concern that AI can now identify and exploit software flaws faster than institutions can patch them. Sam...

Most people understand what it means to protect a human identity because the dangers of someone impersonating you online or stealing and cloning your card are immediately obvious. Today, organisations rely on thousands of non-human identities that belong to software applications, cloud workloads, APIs, bots, and now AI agents as well, which can affect almost everyone if compromised. So, what happens when a cyber attacker hijacks the identity of an autonomous agent. Meet the invisible...

Cyber is no longer a supporting capability. It now shapes how defence organisations plan, assess and act. Across NATO and allied forces, cyber intelligence is increasingly embedded into operational planning, from situational awareness through to targeting and strategic decision-making. At the same time, the threat landscape is becoming more complex. State-aligned actors are more active, campaigns are more coordinated, and the line between cyber and conventional operations continues to blur. Cyber operations in Ukraine have...

Meanwhile, MSPs themselves identified AI-driven threats as their top security concern for the second consecutive year. The 2026 research, conducted by OnePoll, features insights from 350 MSP leaders across the UK and Ireland,...
