Several major London boroughs, including Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, and Hammersmith & Fulham, are facing serious disruption after a cyberattack crippled key IT systems, preventing residents from accessing frontline services and raising fears of data exposure, according to reports. While details remain limited, the incident is already prompting renewed warnings from cybersecurity experts about structural weaknesses across the UK public sector, particularly where councils rely on shared platforms, legacy systems, and under-resourced IT teams.

Salt Security has announced Salt MCP Finder technology, a dedicated discovery engine for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, the fast-proliferating infrastructure powering agentic AI. MCP Finder provides an organisation with a complete, authoritative view of its MCP footprint at a moment when MCP servers are being deployed rapidly, often without IT or security awareness. As enterprises accelerate the adoption of agentic AI, MCP servers have emerged as the universal API broker that lets AI agents...

The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has been officially designated as a Program Root in the global Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Program. It marks a significant step in the EU’s efforts to bolster cybersecurity resilience and streamline vulnerability coordination across member states. As a Program Root, ENISA will serve as the central point of contact for national authorities, EU CSIRTs network members, and other partners operating under its mandate. The move aligns with...

Today, APIContext, has launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Performance Monitoring tool, a new capability that ensures AI systems respond fast enough to meet customer expectations. Given that 85% of enterprises and 78% of SMBs are now using autonomous agents, MCP has emerged as the key enabler by providing an open standard that allows AI agents access tools, like APIs, databases, and SaaS apps, through a unified interface. Yet, while MCP unlocks scale for agent...

Black Duck has expanded its software composition analysis (SCA) capabilities to include AI model scanning, helping organisations gain visibility into the growing use of open-source AI models embedded in enterprise software. With the release of version 2025.10.0, the company’s new AI Model Risk Insights capability allows teams to identify and analyse AI models used within applications, including details about their versions, datasets, and licensing. As businesses increasingly turn to AI to accelerate innovation, the feature...

The development of intelligently integrated, cloud-based management solutions has been a rising trend across major industries for many years. By centralising the collection, analysis and organisation of actionable data within remote-accessible, unified environments, leaders can streamline a wide variety of core processes and positively impact productivity metrics. These fundamental benefits underline the popularity of X-as-a-Service (XaaS) business models, with around 55% of IT professionals believed to have invested in one or more of these services in...

The team at KnowBe4 Threat Labs has uncovered an emerging advanced phishing campaign targeting Microsoft 365 users globally to steal their credentials. This powerful new phishing kit, which KnowBe4 have named 'Quantum Route Redirect', was initially discovered in early August. Quantum Route Redirect comes with a pre-configured set up and phishing domains that significantly simplifies a once technically complex campaign flow, further “democratising” phishing for less skilled cybercriminals. It is thought to primarily target Microsoft...

In an era where security threats, hacks, and even assisination attempts at major political events have become an urgent concern, Active Security has taken a fundamentally different approach to protecting large, stadium-level gatherings: building high-fidelity camera networks where compromising one device doesn't give attackers access to everything else. These networks are designed to integrate seamlessly into broader security environments, whether that’s supporting state, local, and government protection agencies or military operations. This ensures consistent, secure...

As software development enters an era dominated by autonomous coding agents, application security programs are finding themselves structurally unprepared. AI models that generate and modify production code on demand can push thousands of changes per day, far beyond what traditional AppSec pipelines were built to handle. Arnica has stepped into this gap with Arnie AI, a new security suite designed to operate natively inside the workflows of AI-assisted development. The platform introduces two core systems:...

APIContext, the leader in resilience monitoring, today unveiled its new Browser Monitoring tool, a headless browser capability that lets organisations see exactly how their websites perform in real-world conditions. According to a public presentation by Akamai Technologies, 58% of website traffic is now generated by machines, making it critical to understand how web pages interact with APIs and autonomous agents. APIContext’s Browser Monitoring feature captures precise timing data including how long a page takes to...
