Microsoft will begin expanding memory integrity protection across eligible Windows devices in October 2026, automatically enabling a stronger kernel-level security baseline for more users and organizations. The change is designed to protect Windows from sophisticated attacks that attempt to tamper with critical operating system components, while requiring little or no additional configuration. Memory Integrity, built on Virtualization-based Security (VBS), uses hardware-assisted virtualization to isolate sensitive Windows components and prevent malicious code from modifying protected kernel…

Google on Wednesday announced Gemini 3.8 Flash Cyber, which it described as its most capable cybersecurity model, and has made it available to a set of trusted defenders via a new initiative called the Fairwind Program. "The Fairwind Program gives high-priority defenders (like governments, healthcare providers, and telecommunications services) early access to advanced models that help them

Cisco has released patches to address a critical security flaw affecting 10 Silicon One-based Nexus 9000 switches that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute code as root, alongside an IOS XR hardening release bundling 7 umbrella CVEs, 2 of which are rated 9.8, with no workaround for any IOS XR version. The Nexus vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-20212 (CVSS score: 9.8), is

Moving beyond "AI theater" with measurable KPIs: Security teams must distinguish between genuine value and "productivity theater." Success requires defining concrete KPIs—such as cost improvement, risk reduction, and speed—to measure true ROI, rather than deploying AI tools without a clear strategic purpose. Mitigate new autonomous risks: The shift to an agentic SOC introduces distinct threats, such as indirect prompt injection, and creates visibility gaps that traditional SIEM platforms are not built to handle. Organizations should shift from post-event observability to proactive control…
