The move is designed to help European organisations meet increasingly stringent data residency and operational autonomy requirements under EU regulatory frameworks, without sacrificing the performance and security capabilities they rely on from AWS.

Cybersecurity vendor Huntress has announced the general availability of Managed Identity Security Posture Management (ISPM), extending its Agentic Security Platform from threat detection into continuous, expert-managed remediation of identity weaknesses across Microsoft 365 environments. The launch is underpinned by figures the company says highlight how central identity has become to modern attack chains. According to Huntress, identity-based attacks accounted for 79% of all critical and high-severity incidents its team responded to over the past year,...

Swiss privacy company Proton has launched Lumo 2.0, a major upgrade to its zero-access encrypted AI assistant, as concerns mount over the security risks posed by mainstream AI tools in the enterprise. Unlike most AI assistants, which log user conversations and may use them to train future models, Lumo is built so that not even Proton can read what users type into it. The company argues this addresses a growing blind spot in enterprise security:...

If you’re around my age, then you know the joy of using an old paper map. Not real joy, obviously. More the sort of joy normally associated with trying to keep track of 3 pages, getting told off for not holding it the right way up, or for giving instructions too late, and discovering that the road you were confidently following was replaced by a retail park sometime during the Blair years. A paper map...

Check Point Software has announced it is embedding OpenAI's frontier cyber capabilities directly into its customer-facing security products, becoming one of a select group of vendors accepted into OpenAI's Daybreak Cyber Partner Programme. The move represents a significant escalation in the deployment of advanced AI in enterprise security, not as a back-end research tool but as a core component of the defences that more than 100,000 organisations rely on every day. What the Daybreak Programme...

Bring your own device (BYOD) arrangements can help organisations work with contractors, staff who travel, and employees who prefer their own hardware. The tradeoff is straightforward. Company systems are accessed from machines that IT did not buy, configure, or repair. Some will be patched late. Others may be shared at home or used on networks the organisation cannot see. The risk is not limited to the laptop. Vulnerability exploitation now accounts for 31% of breaches,...

New research released today by KnowBe4, the global leader in digital workforce security, securing both AI agents and humans, has revealed a significant readiness deficit when it comes to modern threat detection and prevention across platforms like Slack, Teams and other collaboration tools. Notably, the research also revealed that half of organisations lack strong confidence in detecting threats across messaging and social platforms, despite 60% saying that threats are already moving beyond email. An in-person survey of 169 cybersecurity professionals at Infosecurity Europe 2026 found that while organisations remain confident in their ability to defend against traditional attacks such as phishing...

For years, the answer from IT teams asked about migrating off Google Workspace has been the same: too risky, too disruptive, too much downtime. Proton is betting that the answer is about to change. The Swiss privacy company has launched Easy Switch for Business, a migration tool designed to move organisations’ email, calendars, contacts, and domains from Google Workspace to Proton, without taking anything offline. The key feature is parallel running: businesses can keep Google...
