Swiss privacy company Proton is urging European startups to rethink their cybersecurity approach after new research based on dark-web breach monitoring found that early-stage companies are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals, with significant consequences for innovation, data protection, and business continuity. The push comes as Proton launches its new initiative, “Build in Private,” aimed at helping startups embed privacy and security into their operations from day one, rather than treating them as an afterthought. The campaign...

Cybercriminals are increasingly turning trusted software against defenders, according to new research from Huntress, which has uncovered a real-world attack in which threat actors used a legitimate but vulnerable driver to disable endpoint security tools before deploying further malicious activity. In a detailed incident response analysis, Huntress researchers observed attackers abusing an outdated EnCase forensic driver as part of a technique known as Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD). The approach allowed the attackers to...

Artificial intelligence has overtaken all other forces shaping application security, according to a major new industry study that shows organisations racing to secure AI-generated code while responding to growing regulatory pressure. The 16th edition of the Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM), released by Black Duck, analysed real-world software security practices across 111 organisations worldwide, covering more than 91,000 applications developed by 223,000 developers. It is the largest and longest-running study of its kind, offering...

Cyberattacks targeting operational technology (OT) environments rose sharply in 2025, according to new research from Forescout, highlighting growing risks to critical infrastructure as attackers adapt to cloud services, AI platforms and increasingly distributed attack infrastructure. Forescout’s 2025 Threat Roundup Report, produced by its research arm Vedere Labs, analysed more than 900 million cyberattacks observed globally between January and December 2025. The findings paint a picture of a threat landscape that is not only more aggressive,...

Cybersecurity threats are escalating in scale and sophistication, and organisations around the world are scrambling to keep pace with the evolving digital risk landscape. Governments and corporations alike face increasing pressure to strengthen cyber resilience as attacks extend across critical infrastructure, supply chains and data systems with growing frequency. At the forefront of national and global efforts to understand and counter these threats stands Michael Daniel, President and CEO of the Cyber Threat Alliance. With...

Innovate UK Business Connect, part of Innovate UK,  has announced that its annual CyberASAP Demo Day will return to London on 25th February 2026. Now in its ninth year, the CyberASAP Demo Day gives investors and industry stakeholders the opportunity to get a first look at cutting-edge cyber security proof of concepts and prototypes developed by academic teams from UK universities. This year’s cohort addresses a wide range of cyber security issues from privacy, ransomware...

New research by Nagomi Security has revealed an alarming disconnect between how secure organisations think they are, compared to where real exposure exists. This overconfidence, as explored in Nagomi's The Illusion of Maturity: 2026 Enterprise Exposure Snapshot, means that organisations are facing overlapping exposure within their networks, potentially putting them at significant risk. Notably, incomplete multi-factor authentication (MFA), missing or misconfigured endpoint detection and response (EDR) and weakened endpoint policies appear in more than 75% of organisations,...

The platform mitigates VaynerX’s risk of cybersecurity breaches and strengthens its overall organisational security.  VaynerX is known to be a popular modern media and communications company globally, with teams working across multiple regions whilst having access to extensive internal systems and external client platforms. The organisation recognised the need for a standardised...

Data Privacy Day and Change Your Password Day arrive at a time when privacy concerns have shifted from niche technical debates to everyday business and personal risk. As digital services expand and data becomes increasingly distributed, the threat to privacy grows. Identity compromise, human behaviour and loss of data control now sit at the heart of many of today’s most damaging security incidents. The uncomfortable truth is that most breaches no longer begin with attackers...
