CISA Publishes Security Guidance for Using AI in OT

By / Blog / , ,

Global cybersecurity agencies released new guidance on safely deploying AI in operational technology systems, citing the high risks involved. OT is essential for critical infrastructure, and integrating AI can introduce risks such as model drift, safety bypasses, and process instability. Agencies urge thorough education on AI risks, a careful assessment of when to use AI, strong data controls, and transparent governance. Recommendations also emphasize the importance of monitoring and fail-safe processes, including human oversight. Experts note that while AI may enhance efficiency, its use in OT should be limited and highly disciplined, especially with high-risk models like large language models.

Threat Landscape Grows Increasingly Dangerous for Manufacturers

By / Blog /

Manufacturers remain the top target for cybercriminals in 2025, primarily due to security gaps, lack of expertise, and slow adoption of protective measures. Over half paid ransoms and faced high recovery costs, with ransomware attacks causing notable shutdowns and billions in losses. This year, exploited software vulnerabilities became the leading cause of breaches. The rise of AI and automation is boosting manufacturing efficiency but also increasing cybersecurity risks and creating new attack surfaces. Experts warn that the threat landscape will continue to worsen, especially as IT and OT environments merge and geopolitical issues persist.

Top CISO Takeaways For 2026: Lessons Learned From 2025

By / Blog / ,

CISOs in 2025 learned that fast, AI-powered attacks and persistent supply chain breaches outpaced traditional defense methods. The human factor remained the top vulnerability, while dark web intelligence and regulatory enforcement moved to the forefront. Burnout among CISOs was widespread, further stressing the need for leadership support and resources. Proactive third-party risk management, continuous compliance, and strategic business alignment are now essential. Embedding automation, predictive intelligence, and board-level engagement characterizes the industry’s shift for 2026.

Amazon’s New AI Can Code for Days Without Human Help. What Does That Mean for Software Engineers?

By / Blog / , , ,

Amazon announced “frontier agents,” advanced AI systems capable of autonomously coding for hours or days, at its re:Invent conference. These agents—Kiro for software development, AWS Security Agent for security, and AWS DevOps Agent for IT operations—aim to automate the entire software development lifecycle with persistent memory, independent decision-making, and collaborative capabilities across tasks. Unlike existing tools, frontier agents learn from ongoing projects and can manage multi-repo changes simultaneously. While concerns about job impacts arise, Amazon emphasizes these tools enhance rather than replace human engineers, encouraging new practices and faster project completions. The company believes these agents can be applied beyond coding to various fields.
