Forescout Technologies has today introduced Forescout VistaroAI™, a new agentic AI capability designed to help security teams prioritize risks, reduce investigation time, and respond faster to cyber threats. Unlike traditional AI assistants that rely on prompts or chatbot interfaces, VistaroAI is built around pre-programmed security skills and role-based workflows. The system continuously analyzes changes across an organization’s environment and presents prioritized tasks with clear explanations and recommended actions, while keeping human operators in control. “Most...

Last week, the European Commission launched an investigation after finding evidence that its mobile device management platform was hacked. The Commission reported that it discovered “traces of a cyberattack” that targeted infrastructure that manages its staff’s mobile devices. The breach resulted in staff members’ personal information including names and phone numbers being accessed by the attackers.  Dray Agha, Senior Manager of Security Operations at Huntress emphasised the need for organisations to reinforce the security of...

Experiments involving autonomous AI agents coordinating, sharing code and acting without human supervision have captured plenty of attention in recent weeks. Platforms such as Moltbook and tools like Clawdbot have been framed as glimpses into a future where AI systems organise themselves in the wild. For security leaders, however, the fascination quickly fades once the underlying mechanics are examined. According to Salt Security, these experiments are less about artificial intelligence behaving unpredictably and more about...

Modern applications aren't built from scratch. They’re assembled. When you look at most typical enterprise codebases, you’ll see that they contain a large proportion of open source elements, many of which are pulled from public repositories and bolted together with their own proprietary logic.  From a development perspective, this approach makes a lot of sense. Why spend months writing out your own authentication libraries or data parsing various functions when you can just plug and...

A recently discovered online database containing 149 million stolen usernames and passwords has been taken offline after being identified by security researcher Jeremiah Fowler. While the exposure has now been addressed, the scale and nature of the data involved underline a far deeper and ongoing cybersecurity challenge: the industrialisation of credential theft through infostealing malware. According to Fowler’s findings, the database held login details for a vast range of services, including major email providers, social...

Bring your own device (BYOD) programs are no longer a niche policy reserved for a few departments. Today, nearly every organisation allows team members to use their personal hardware for work purposes. However, sweeping adoption has resulted in a tricky security reality. Verizon’s 2025 Mobile Security Index found that 70% of mobile devices impacted by cyber attacks are personal rather than corporate-issued, which means the riskiest endpoints are often the ones that the business doesn’t...

BreachForums, one of the most well-known English-language cybercrime forums, has reportedly suffered a data breach, exposing user information after the site was taken offline once again. As reported by The Register, a database linked to the forum was leaked online, potentially revealing account details, private messages and metadata on close to 325,000 accounts. However, security researchers caution that while the leak may attract attention, its intelligence value and authenticity remain uncertain. Michael Tigges, Senior Security...

Pharmaceutical research teams face a constant challenge. They need fast, accurate documentation, but the writing process can slow things down. Research teams have to spend countless hours drafting clinical reports for regulatory agencies and double-checking details, buried under mountains of manual work. Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing all this. It can cut the time spent on regulatory documentation by up to 40%, a case study on a specialised AI tool revealed. For busy research departments,...

The philosophy of data collection in cybersecurity has undergone a radical transformation over the last two years. For over a decade, organisations operated under the assumption that accumulating vast amounts of user information provided a competitive advantage and a foundation for future analytics.  However, as we move through 2026, this "collect everything" mindset has morphed into a significant liability, with CISOs now viewing data repositories as toxic assets that increase the attack surface. The shift...
