In early July 2026, researchers at Sysdig published an analysis of what they assess to be the first documented case of agentic ransomware. The threat actor, which Sysdig calls JADEPUFFER, launched an extortion attack driven end to end by a large language model (LLM) rather than a conventional human-operated toolkit.

Enhanced platform brings continuous attack surface visibility, expert-led testing, flexible budget control and improved reporting into one risk-led AppSec program STOCKHOLM, Sweden, 2 July 2026 – Outpost24, a leading provider of cyber risk management solutions, today announced the next generation of CyberFlex, its flexible, advisory-led application security program designed to help organizations keep pace with dynamic digital environments.

IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report found that 97% of organizations that experienced an artificial intelligence (AI)-related security incident lacked proper access controls on AI systems. The same report highlighted that 63% of organizations lacked governance policies to manage AI or prevent shadow AI. Despite those statistics, AI is now deeply embedded in workflows across critical business functions. Employees are using public AI tools to work faster.

Penetration testing remains one of the most effective ways to identify exploitable vulnerabilities, validate security controls, and provide assurance that applications can withstand real-world attack techniques. For years, annual penetration testing was a reasonable approach. Most business applications changed relatively slowly, with major releases happening a handful of times each year.

Today is Microsoft Patch Tuesday for June 2026. There are 206 Microsoft-issued vulnerabilities that have been addressed this time around, none of which are known to be actively exploited. Several critical remote code execution vulnerabilities have been resolved in core Windows infrastructure components. CVE-2026-45657 An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted network traffic to a vulnerable Windows system.

For years, the OWASP Top 10 has operated as the gold standard for highlighting the most critical web application security risks. The 2025 edition arrives at a time when application environments are becoming increasingly complex. Cloud-native architectures, software supply chain risks, APIs and AI-assisted development are all changing the way applications are built and secured.

Your external attack surface is bigger than you think, and probably bigger than it was last quarter. Cloud sprawl, third-party integrations, abandoned subdomains, and shadow IT all add up to an internet-facing footprint that’s hard to track manually. External attack surface management (EASM) tools give security teams continuous visibility over that footprint, from the same vantage point an attacker would use.

As large language models (LLMs) become more embedded in business operations, the risks and attack methods targeting them are evolving just as quickly. The 2025 edition of the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications reflects this rapid evolution, addressing the current threats facing generative AI systems in production environments. For organizations investing in LLMs, understanding the risks is crucial for deploying these systems securely.
