Microsoft’s 2026 Digital Defense Report reveals that cyber threats are becoming more complex as AI adoption grows and digital identities, cloud services, software supply chains, and critical infrastructure become increasingly interconnected.
AI holds tremendous potential to drive progress in Indonesia, but realizing that potential requires trust that systems, data, and identities are protected.
While attackers’ methods and targets have remained largely unchanged, AI and increasingly interconnected digital systems are making attacks faster, more scalable, and more effective.
At the same time, AI systems themselves are becoming targets, including the data and infrastructure supporting them.
How AI is Changing Cyber Attacks and Defense AI is shifting the speed, scale, and sophistication of cyberattacks.

After nearly 30 years in technology, including my career at Intel, I believe AI safety requires the same approach.
Our objective is to help establish boundaries for autonomous AI systems and advance those boundaries toward practical implementation.
I believe the next phase of AI safety requires a shift in leadership and execution.
From responsible AI principles to enforceable Red Lines The International AI Safety Red Lines initiative is focused on a fundamental question: What capabilities and behaviors should increasingly autonomous AI systems never be permitted to exhibit?
The Global Council for Responsible AI’s International AI Safety Red Lines initiative is one contribution to that broader effort.

Reading time: < 1 minute The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa has been renewed through 2030 as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Research (CAE-R), a national designation recognizing universities that conduct advanced cybersecurity research and prepare students for careers in the field.
The designation is part of a federal program led by the National Security Agency recognizing colleges and universities for their contributions to cybersecurity education, research and workforce development.
Fewer than 20% of institutions in the national program hold the CAE-R designation, which is focused on universities with doctoral-level research programs.
“It also reflects the important role that research universities play in preparing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals, applying AI for cybersecurity, and securing increasingly important AI systems.”
Increasing importance of cybersecurity Cybersecurity has become increasingly important as Hawaiʻi’s residents, businesses, schools and government agencies rely on digital systems for everything from banking and health care to transportation and communication.

Honeywell Technologies' Uygar Doyuran discusses the cybersecurity, data, and AI foundations required to advance industrial autonomy while safeguarding safety and uptime.
Greater autonomy introduces new cybersecurity challenges as connected systems and AI assume increased responsibility, based on information published by TahawulTech.
Honeywell Technologies emphasizes that cybersecurity must be an integral part of this transition, particularly as operational technology (OT) integrates with enterprise systems and cloud platforms.
Honeywell Forge facilitates this by connecting disparate data, knowledge, and control systems.
Honeywell's approach combines data, domain knowledge, and deterministic AI to ensure AI operates within defined constraints.

Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) remains one of the few countries in South-East Europe without a state-level cybersecurity strategy or operational state-level Computer Emergency Response Team/ Computer Security Incident Response Team (CERT/ CSIRT).
While efforts have been made to lay the groundwork for national cyber resilience, political and institutional constraints continue to hinder the establishment and operationalization of CERTs/CSIRTs.
Findings of the OSCE Assessment conducted in 2025 indicate that BiH institutions are facing heightened exposure to cyber threats, compounded by limited technical expertise, inadequate human resources, and insufficient co-ordination mechanisms for timely to detection and response to cyber incidents.
The OSCE Mission to BiH, through this project, aims to support national stakeholders in strengthening their cybersecurity capacities, promoting good governance and aligning BiH with international cybersecurity standards and OSCE Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs).

Of that total, as much as $150 million is structured as earnouts that depend on how Elisity performs going forward, according to the Wall Street Journal.
IonQ stock closed Friday at $39.89, giving the company a market value of roughly $16 billion.
IonQ Chairman and Chief Executive Niccolo de Masi said the acquisition reflects his view that cybersecurity risks will grow as quantum computing and artificial intelligence systems become more capable.
"The bad guys are going to keep taking advantage of new technology," de Masi told the Wall Street Journal.
That buying spree included a $1.8 billion agreement earlier this year to take over semiconductor manufacturer SkyWater Technology, according to the Wall Street Journal.

For years, the conversation around healthcare cybersecurity has largely centered on protecting data.
But research presented by Jeff Tully, M.D., co-director of the UC San Diego Center for Healthcare Cybersecurity, suggests there are limits to how far training can take us.
That is an important distinction for healthcare cybersecurity.
But healthcare organizations also need to plan for the possibility that their best defenses will eventually be tested.
And because healthcare organizations are interconnected, the consequences of one organization's disruption can extend well beyond its own walls.

At Black Hat a few weeks ago, it felt like every other conversation I had was about AI finding vulnerabilities.
The natural next question, then, is whether AI can fix what it finds.
What to measure when the ticket closes Should CISOs trust AI to fix vulnerabilities?
The best thing AI does for most security teams is hand them back hours.
Security teams that pair that speed with more follow-through will come out ahead.

October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use – and it isn’t just for IT professionals.
It is important to understand that most cybercriminals do not target computer systems; they target computer users.
By deceiving and manipulating legitimate users, criminals convince them to voluntarily take actions that make their devices and data more vulnerable to cyberattacks.
Organizations who want to share more information about cybersecurity with their members or audiences can download DATCP’s new Cybersecurity for Consumers and Cybersecurity for Business toolkits for free at DATCPOutreachToolkit.wi.gov.

A Canadian cybersecurity executive who built a career helping organizations recover from cyberattacks has been arrested on federal extortion charges, a case that may be linked to the FBI’s pursuit of the ShinyHunters hacking group that pilfered troves of bureau employee data.
Dubrovsky held leadership positions at incident-response companies, taught cybersecurity courses and recently published a book about how organizations should handle extortion incidents.
A York University biography identified him as Cytelligence’s chief operating officer and Aon’s Canadian cyber leader.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday that the bureau had arrested another suspected ShinyHunters co-conspirator, without naming the person or disclosing charges.
Canadian authorities separately acknowledged that a Canadian had been arrested in the United States in connection with the hack.
