Today marks International Passwordless Day, an annual observance held on 23 June, the birthday of mathematician Alan Turing, whose foundational work in computing underpins the cryptographic principles that enable modern passwordless authentication. Created to raise awareness and accelerate the shift away from traditional passwords, the day arrives at a moment of genuine but uneven progress. The tools to replace passwords exist. The standards are settled. Yet credentials remain the single most exploited attack surface in...

Healthcare and public sector organisations are increasingly turning away from generalist managed security service providers (MSSPs) in favour of specialists with deeper technical expertise, and a recent NHS deployment is being held up as a case study in why that shift matters. Check Point Software has highlighted the growing demand for specialist MSSPs as organisations across healthcare and highly regulated industries look to secure increasingly complex hybrid environments. The trend is reflected in the continued...

A member of staff visited what appeared to be a legitimate website. A message on the page told them their browser had a problem and gave them simple instructions to fix it: press two keys, paste a short piece of text, and hit Enter. They did. Within hours, criminals had access to eleven of the organisation’s computers, including the server that controls the entire network. The attack, documented in new research from cybersecurity firm Huntress,...

A new survey from Proton has put hard numbers on something the security community has long suspected: European consumers are increasingly factoring data privacy into their purchasing decisions, and US cloud and software dependencies are becoming a commercial as well as a security liability for businesses. The research, which surveyed 3,000 people across the UK, France, and Germany, found that 45% would actively avoid companies that store their data with US-based firms, citing privacy and...

Huntress researchers uncover a Romania-linked threat actor using a compromised UK business server as a phishing launchpad, with payload infrastructure hosted on a hacked Bolivian government site. Cybersecurity firm Huntress has published a detailed incident response report exposing a sophisticated phishing operation in which threat actors hijacked a compromised terminal server to send nearly nine million fraudulent emails impersonating UK pharmacy chain Boots. How the Attack Unfolded The intrusion was discovered on 16 May 2026,...

Tim Leehealey is the Co-founder and VP of Strategy at Strike48 Agentic AI is starting to show up in security operations in a very specific place, and it’s not in detection. It’s appearing in the part of the workflow where analysts are working out what an alert actually means, and deciding what to do next. That’s the part that doesn’t always follow a clean path, even in well-structured SOCs, and it’s also where most of...

Like many, I love KnowBe4’s The Inside Man series. So when series director Jim Shields and writer Robert McCollum stood on stage at the UK Premiere for Season 7 (held at the glitzy Odeon LUXE in Leicester Square, in an affair that could rival any of the Summer’s blockbusters) and said that they’d always planned to wrap the show up after seven series, I found myself abhorred. Personally, I’m not quite ready to let go...

Nearly two-thirds of organizations have suffered a confirmed AI identity-related security incident in the past 12 months, and the companies that feel most secure are being hit the hardest, according to new research from FusionAuth. The 2026 State of AI and Identity Report, which surveyed 312 technology and security leaders, including CTOs, CISOs, and VPs of engineering, security, and platform, found that 65% of organizations reported a confirmed AI identity breach in the past year, with...

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...
