If you use OpenVPN on Windows, the new OpenVPN 2.7.7 Windows security fixes are worth paying attention to. Released on September 3, 2026, OpenVPN 2.7.7 addresses several Windows-specific security problems involving command-line handling, network configuration, service permissions and input processing. The easiest way to understand the update is to think of OpenVPN as a security … Read more
Remote monitoring and management (RMM) platforms are built to make IT administration easier. But that same centralized control can make them extremely attractive to attackers. The latest N-able N-central RCE exploitation risk involves CVE-2026-86218, a critical vulnerability that can allow pre-authenticated remote code execution on an N-central server. N-able released N-central 2026.3 Hotfix 4 (build … Read more
An AI-assisted cyberattack has raised a worrying question for security teams: how quickly could AI agents help an attacker move from an initial foothold to deep access across an enterprise network? In a recent Unit 42 investigation, Palo Alto Networks reported that an attacker used frontier AI and agentic AI frameworks to compress an intrusion … Read more
AI agents are changing the way people use the internet. They can browse websites, interact with forms, call APIs, log into systems, and perform tasks with very little human involvement.That is useful when the agent is legitimate. But the same capabilities can become a serious security problem when an attacker uses an AI agent to … Read more
OpenVPN has released version 2.7.7, a security-focused update that fixes seven vulnerabilities affecting its VPN software. Released on September 3, 2026, the update includes a particularly important denial-of-service fix, alongside several Windows-specific security fixes. So, what exactly went wrong, which versions are affected, and should users be concerned? Here is a plain-English breakdown of the … Read more
A new N-able N-central critical vulnerability has been disclosed, and it deserves immediate attention from administrators running self-hosted N-central environments. Tracked as CVE-2026-86218, the flaw can allow pre-authentication remote code execution (RCE) on an N-central server. In simple terms, an attacker may be able to execute code remotely without first logging into the platform. N-able … Read more
Ransomware attacks have always depended on speed. The faster an attacker can understand a network, find valuable credentials and move toward critical systems, the less time defenders have to react.Now, AI agents could make that process significantly faster. A recent investigation by Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 found an attacker using frontier AI and agentic … Read more
AI coding agents can dramatically improve software development, but enterprises need to know exactly where these agents execute and what they can access. Coder Agent Relay takes a different approach by connecting cloud-hosted coding agents with self-hosted execution environments. Why Enterprises Hesitate to Use Cloud-Hosted Coding Agents AI coding agents can write code, run commands … Read more
Cybersecurity is entering a new phase. AI agents are no longer limited to analyzing information or generating security reports. They can now monitor environments, investigate suspicious activity, hunt for threats and, in some cases, take defensive action automatically. This shift is creating what is often called agentic security — using autonomous cybersecurity agents to help … Read more
AI is moving beyond the simple “ask a question, get an answer” model. GPT-6 Astra is designed for harder end-to-end work involving reasoning, coding, research, computer use and multi-step workflows. OpenAI says Astra can work with browsers and professional software, create documents and spreadsheets, and continue adapting when requirements change. So what can developers and … Read more
