Index Ventures Backs End-to-End Platform, Targeting of AI-Driven Vulnerability RiskAstelia raised $35 million in Series A funding led by Index Ventures to scale its AI-powered exposure management tool. The company uses AI agents and network analysis to help enterprises prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities and reduce remediation noise across hybrid and on-premises environments.

Patches Issued for MongoBleed as Ransomware Groups Target Flaw to Steal DataTens of thousands of internet-exposed MongoDB databases are at risk as attackers actively target a critical vulnerability in the software to steal sensitive data, with ransomware groups having joined the fray, researchers warn. MongoDB has issued patches and mitigation advice.

Unpatched Flaw in Open-Source Gogs Service Facilitates Remote Code ExecutionAn attacker has been exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Gogs, an open-source and popular Git service that allows for self-hosting, warned researchers. At least 700 internet-exposed servers running Gogs shows signs of being infected with command-and-control malware; no patch is yet available.

Skills Needed: Enterprise Architecture, Configuration and Vulnerability ManagementWhen a critical vulnerability surfaces in ERP systems such as the Oracle E-Business Suite flaw, attackers can go well beyond a single compromised server. The flaw exposed the need for cyber professionals who understand enterprise architecture, secure configuration and vulnerability interpretation.

Tenable's Nate Dyer on Moving Beyond Traditional Vulnerability ManagementVulnerability management no longer covers the full attack surface. Nathan Dyer of Tenable explains how unified exposure management helps reduce risk, shrink ticket volume and increase operational efficiency by unifying data, context and response across teams.

NCSC Chief Says Recent Retailer Hacks Should Be 'Wake-Up Call' for Cyber DefendersThe number of cyberattacks in the United Kingdom surged 50% in the past year, with ransomware continuing to be the top threat. National Cyber Security Centre CEO Richard Horne said recent high-profile hacks at major retailers exposed supply chain vulnerabilities and are a "wake-up call" to defenders.

Medusa Ransomware Group Tied to Exploits of Now-Patched Zero-Day VulnerabilityRecent attacks targeting Fortra's GoAnywhere managed file transfer software exploited a "limited" number of customers who set their on-premises installations to have an administrative console publicly exposed to the internet, which the vendor recommends customers never do.

Over 1,100 Ollama Servers Leave Enterprise Models Vulnerable: Cisco TalosMore than a thousand servers running Ollama, a tool that can deploy artificial intelligence models locally, are exposed to the open internet, leaving many of them vulnerable to misuse and potential attacks. The bulk are dormant, but could be exploited through misconfiguration, Cisco Talos said.

Traditional security testing tools can’t keep pace with modern threats—or prove which vulnerabilities truly matter. Discover how Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) bridges the gap by continuously simulating real-world attacks to reveal exploitable exposures, prioritize risk, and empower smarter security decisions. Learn why AEV is the missing link in your CTEM strategy and how BreachLock is leading the way.

Hypori's Lewandowski on Eliminating Data and Apps From Personal DevicesTraditional BYOD strategies rely on managing personal devices directly, which introduces privacy concerns and leaves organizations vulnerable to attacks such as phishing, network compromise and device rooting, said Wayne Lewandowski, chief revenue officer at Hypori.

Thousands of MCP Servers Leave AI Apps Open to Attack SurfacesHundreds of Model Context Protocol servers designed to help AI tools access private data are insecurely exposed online, say BackSlash Security researchers.
