Vishing attacks have grown increasingly sophisticated, often involving bad actors posing as IT support or C-level executives to create artificial crises...

AI has moved deeper into enterprise infrastructure, which means security teams are now defending more than chatbots and productivity tools. As companies deploy models, agents, cloud workloads, APIs, and data pipelines, platforms like Orca Security are part of a broader change toward identifying exposed data, excessive permissions, misconfigured services, and exploitable attack paths before attackers connect them. IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report found that the global average breach cost reached 4.4 million...

The move gives the security vendor access to GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber for use in defensive security operations, supporting security teams with threat analysis, incident investigation and real-time detection engineering. The announcement comes as the threat landscape is increasingly shaped by...

Proton has released a command-line interface (CLI) for Proton Drive, its end-to-end encrypted cloud storage service, marking a significant expansion of the platform beyond its graphical desktop and mobile applications. The tool is available immediately for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and is built on the same Drive SDK that underpins Proton's official clients, meaning it shares the same encryption guarantees. For security teams, the release addresses a long-standing friction point: automating secure file transfers and...

Moving beyond traditional vulnerability management As...

Check Point Software has launched Agentic Exposure Validation (AEV), a new AI-driven capability within its Exposure Management platform that uses autonomous agents to reason like attackers and provide security teams with hard evidence of what is genuinely exploitable in their environment, before adversaries can act on it. The launch comes as the threat landscape undergoes a fundamental shift. Frontier AI models are now capable of autonomously identifying and weaponising vulnerabilities at machine speed, compressing the...

Swiss privacy company Proton has rolled out a significant update to Proton Mail that allows users to connect their Gmail accounts directly to the platform. The feature, announced on 28 May 2026, enables Gmail messages to be imported into Proton Mail and allows users to send and receive emails from their Gmail address, all without toggling between separate inboxes. The integration is aimed at users looking to transition away from Google's ecosystem but who face...

New research from offensive security firm Pentest-Tools.com has quantified a growing disconnect between the speed at which AI tools are generating code and the ability of security teams to validate it before it reaches production, with significant implications for enterprise risk and compliance. The survey, conducted in March 2026 with 241 confirmed AI coding tool users across the UK, Europe, and the US, found that just 9% of developers believe vulnerability testing keeps full pace...
