risk management

Every firm that expects to survive—and thrive—in 2026 must pair an AI ambition with a concrete governance plan: the productivity upside of generative AI is real, but so are the legal, ethical and operational risks if organisations treat AI as a feature switch rather than a managed capability...

The handful of short stories claiming "the U.S. Senate has approved ChatGPT, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot for government operations" capture a headline-ready idea — but they flatten a careful, conditional rollout into a blanket endorsement that never happened. The accurate, verifiable record...

PressReader's recent republication of a Santa Fe New Mexican piece framing the idea of a “driver’s license for AI” has crystallized a deceptively simple question into a policy battleground: what would it mean — technically, legally, and socially — to credential artificial intelligence systems or...

Microsoft’s new Security Dashboard for AI arrives as a pragmatic — and urgently needed — response to a problem CISOs have been warning about for months: enterprise AI is proliferating faster than governance, and visibility is the first line of defense when human oversight can’t scale. Announced...

The json-c library’s long‑running reputation for light‑weight JSON parsing took a sharp turn in 2023 when a stack‑buffer‑overflow in the auxiliary sample program json_parse was assigned CVE‑2021‑32292 — a defect that can be triggered by crafted input to the parseit() function and which, in...

Microsoft’s decision to expand the Secure Development Lifecycle into a dedicated SDL for AI marks a pivotal moment in how enterprises should think about security for generative systems, agents, and model-driven pipelines — and it deserves close attention from every security leader wrestling with...

Microsoft’s decision to stop routine security updates for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025 left millions of machines facing a clear decision: upgrade, pay for a limited Extended Security Updates (ESU) bridge, migrate to another OS, or accept increasing risk — and a growing number of users and...

Microsoft’s choice to label CVE-2026-20950 an Excel “Remote Code Execution” vulnerability while publishing a CVSS vector with Attack Vector = Local (AV:L) is deliberate, not a classification error: the CVE title signals the attacker’s origin and the potential operational impact, whereas the CVSS...

When Microsoft set a hard end-of-support date for mainstream Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, many IT teams reacted as if every Windows 10 machine suddenly became a ticking cybersecurity time bomb—but for operational technology (OT) environments the reality has always been more nuanced, and the...

Microsoft’s Copilot Usage Report 2025 is not a sleepy vendor marketing brief — it is a practical intelligence report that forces corporate compliance teams to rethink the scope, scale, and style of AI risk they manage. By analyzing 37.5 million de-identified Copilot conversations, Microsoft and...

Microsoft’s long-running safety net for Windows 10 — the monthly security updates that quietly fixed the most dangerous bugs — has been withdrawn, and that shift changes the risk calculus for millions of PCs and the organisations that rely on them. The headline is simple: Windows 10 no longer...

The cybersecurity community has reached a rare, consensus-sounding alarm: AI-powered browsers — the new generation of agentic, LLM-driven web clients — introduce a novel attack surface that many organizations should treat as unacceptable risk today, with leading advisory firms and government...

The debate over whether, when and how to "pull the plug" on artificial intelligence has moved from philosophy seminars into courtrooms, regulator briefings and boardrooms — and the practical answer being argued by lawyers, technologists and regulators is emphatically not a single moment of...

A new public database that catalogs instances of AI “hallucinations” in court filings has quickly become a central reference point for judges, ethics committees, and tech teams wrestling with how to use large language models (LLMs) safely in legal workflows — and early entries show that...

The Louvre’s security humiliation—reports that a surveillance server could be accessed with the password “LOUVRE”—has turned a sensational daytime robbery of the Galerie d’Apollon into a wider institutional reckoning over museum cybersecurity, procurement failures and the real-world consequences...

The October robbery at the Louvre that stripped the Galerie d'Apollon of eight pieces of the French Crown Jewels — an audacious daylight heist carried out in under eight minutes — has produced an almost surreal postscript: according to investigative reporting, the museum's video-surveillance...

The Louvre’s security collapse reads like a cautionary tale written for IT teams: a daylight heist that lasted under eight minutes exposed not only a physical breach of priceless objects but decades of deferred cybersecurity maintenance, trivial credential hygiene, and unsupported vendor...

A fresh telemetry snapshot from remote‑support sessions underscores a stark reality: as Microsoft’s Windows 10 support deadline approaches, a large share of real‑world endpoints remain on an OS that will soon stop receiving routine security patches—creating an urgent migration and...

Windows 10 reaches its official end of support on October 14, 2025 — after that date Microsoft will stop shipping regular OS security updates, quality fixes, and standard technical support for mainstream Windows 10 editions unless a device is covered by an approved extension program. Background...

Law firms that once met generative AI with suspicion are now using a repeatable playbook — pilot, govern, verify, scale — to turn skeptics into internal AI champions while protecting client confidentiality and professional duty. Background / Overview The last 18–24 months forced a reckoning...
