The White House wants a “minimally burdensome” national AI framework that preempts stricter state laws. That approach may accelerate deployment, but it also removes the very mechanisms that could prevent a race to the bottom.

Your CISO wants to know what's exposed to the internet across your 50 AWS accounts. How long does it take you to answer? Joe Karlsson from CloudQuery and Keegan Mirazee from Amazon Web Services break down the five questions most teams at scale can't answer in under five minutes, and what it actually takes to close that gap. Join us April 8th to learn: * Get a real-time view of resources, exposure, and changes across 50+ AWS accounts * Continuously assess compliance and risk—no more point-in-time checks * A practical 30-60-90 day plan to boost visibility, control costs, and speed response Learn the answers to the five questions your security and finance teams are already asking. 🔗 Register now: https://buff.ly/5WNJWSI

Cyber warfare has become the new main arena of conflict, with low barriers to entry giving small states and hacking syndicates the power to challenge global powers. Attacks like NotPetya caused $10 billion in damages and disrupted global supply chains, while the SolarWinds breach highlighted how geopolitical instability directly threatens business stability. The lines between productive technology and destructive technology are blurring faster than ever. See why building resilience into every aspect of business is no longer optional: https://buff.ly/cUdXhpk #AI #Quantum #Cybersecurity #CloudSecurity

AI is changing both how penetration testing exposes weaknesses and what can be done to address them. At RSA Conference 2026, Synack demonstrated a hybrid approach where AI agents handle attack surface reconnaissance while human testers focus on validation and creative exploitation.

Nation-state actors don’t discriminate based on organizational size; they discriminate based on defense capability. Small and mid-sized businesses face the same exposure as large enterprises but command a fraction of the security budget and none of the staff. Read why standardization is a force multiplier for threat hunting: https://lnkd.in/gvwa8h7H #MSSP #CyberThreatHunting #SMBsecurity #JCHK

What happens when a ransomware group ditches initial access brokers and starts running its own social engineering campaigns instead? LeakNet now uses ClickFix lures on compromised websites and a Deno‑based in‑memory loader to bypass traditional file‑based detection. Yet after entry, the group follows the same post‑exploitation sequence every time, a consistency that gives defenders a clear window to detect and disrupt the attack before ransomware deploys. Read how behavioral detection can stop LeakNet at the repeatable steps it cannot avoid: https://lnkd.in/eeBMVbPk #Ransomware #ThreatIntel #CyberDefense #LeakNet

Synthetic identity fraud does not steal an identity. It manufactures one. Fraudsters stitch together stolen attributes, Social Security numbers, fabricated employment histories, and public records into a coherent human who has never drawn a breath. LexisNexis reports an eight‑fold global increase year over year, making it the fastest‑growing fraud type worldwide. Read how the patient, methodical rise of synthetic identity is reshaping the threat landscape: https://lnkd.in/eSuKEa_Z #SyntheticIdentity #Fraud #Cybercrime #IdentityTheft

What happens when 87% of CISOs admit they can’t see what data AI tools exchange with SaaS applications, yet 79% claim comprehensive data flow mapping? A new survey reveals a striking gap between confidence and reality.

The modern geopolitical conflict playbook has a new chapter: digital networks are no longer just infrastructure, they are both weapons and targets. With Iran’s war against the United States and Israel intensifying, pro‑Iranian groups have shifted cyber operations toward high‑stakes extortion, public dissemination of sensitive military coordinates, and coordinated efforts to enable future kinetic strikes.

What happens when privacy laws stop asking what you collect and start asking how your systems behave? California’s CCPA/CPRA framework just became a governance regime for data‑driven systems, merging privacy, cybersecurity, and AI into a single regulatory architecture. Read why compliance is no longer about disclosure, it’s about proving your systems are defensible: https://lnkd.in/ezD-xnkq #CaliforniaPrivacy #CCPA #AIRegulation #Compliance
