Global services activity is holding up even as some manufacturing readings soften, and this keeps demand for computing power and automation firmly in focus. That backdrop keeps attention on artificial intelligence stocks, where companies tied to chips, cloud and large language models are helping power new productivity tools. This article highlights three AI related stocks from the screener that could interest investors building long term exposure to the theme. The three stocks discussed next are just a starting sample, and the full screen surfaced 32 more companies with equally compelling AI related narratives that are not covered here. To see the bigger picture and size up potential opportunities for your own watchlist, head straight into the Artificial Intelligence/ AI Stocks screener to identify, filter and analyze the highest conviction plays across the theme. Docebo (TSX:DCBO) Overview: Docebo is a Toronto based software company that provides a cloud learning management platform, with AI powered Harmony Search and personalization tools that tailor training content for each user. Its AI and analytics sit inside the core learning suite, so investors are looking at a learning software business where machine learning and NLP features support, rather than dominate, the revenue story. Operations: Docebo generates about $258.9 million in revenue from educational software. The United States contributes $174.0 million, the rest of the world $71.4 million and Canada $13.5 million. Market Cap: CA$807.0 million Investors interested in AI may consider Docebo because its Harmony Search and AI driven analytics are already embedded in a full scale learning platform used across enterprises, rather than sitting in a lab. The company reports triple digit million revenue and positive earnings, which gives those AI tools a commercial footing, although monetization of some newer features is still unproven. A sizeable buyback authorization funded through a mix of cash and

US authorities say Siemens controllers used for water and other infrastructure are being targeted by hackers — agencies claim threat actors use AI tools to generate exploitation scripts Attacks on these industrial controllers could lead to sabotage of critical infrastructure. Various U.S. agencies just released a warning claiming that Iranian hackers are targeting Siemens S7-series programmable logic controllers (PLCs). According to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) advisory, hackers are using publicly available information on these widely used devices to develop exploits that would enable remote access and control. They’re also using AI tools, allowing them to identify additional attack vectors and possibly adapt to any defensive measures operators may have taken to protect their systems. “The actors leverage Internet scanning services to find Internet-exposed PLCs running outdated software or that are otherwise poorly protected,” the agency said in its warning. “The U.S. critical infrastructure sectors most targeted by this threat activity include Critical Manufacturing, Energy, Water and Wastewater, Chemical, Food and Agriculture, and Commercial Facilities. This is not a theoretical risk — it is an active threat. Depending on the specific circumstances, exploitation of poorly protected PLCs could lead to disruption of critical industrial processes, safety incidents, downtime or equipment damage, compromise of sensitive data, compliance violations, and cascading impacts across interconnected systems.” The warning comes from multiple government agencies, not just CISA. The advisory was also co-authored by the National Security Agency (NSA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Energy (DOE), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), underscoring how serious this issue could become. Because of this, operators using Siemens S7 PLCs (and other PLCs operating critical infrastructure) are advised to keep their equipment updated with the latest applicable security patches, isolate it from the internet as much as possible, protect it with strong

This Week's Top Five Stories in Cyber China Closes in on Cyber Race as GLM-5.3 Beats US Models Leading Chinese start-up Z.ai has launched GLM-5.3, an open-source model that demonstrates improved coding and cybersecurity performance compared to GLM-5.2. Benchmark data released by Z.ai reveals that the model achieved high scores on a cyber performance test, surpassing several models from US companies Anthropic and OpenAI. The release comes at a time when the US State Department has reportedly been drafting a correspondence to multiple countries regarding the AI competition with China. Reuters reviewed an internal draft, which states that dozens of countries must choose between a US-led AI coalition and Beijing's competing framework, with exclusion from the former if they join the latter. How RingCentral Breach Exposed 1.6 Million Customer Records Cybercriminal group ShinyHunters has released into the open 1.6 million records of customer accounts from cloud-based business communications platform – RingCentral. Data from the company was compromised following what it called “a sophisticated social engineering campaign” back in July. RingCentral disclosed on July 28 2026 that it had been targeted in an incident which “has affected data for a limited portion of RingCentral customers”. “Upon detection, we promptly took steps to stop the unauthorised activity and immediately began an investigation with assistance from a leading third-party forensic firm,” RingCentral highlighted.

The Trump administration’s losses keep piling up in grievance cases over its return to office and telework policies for union employees. The latest loss came earlier this week when an arbitrator ruled that the Agriculture Department violated its collective bargaining agreement and committed unfair labor practices when it ended its telework and mandated Rural Development Agency employees represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) return to the office without negotiating the terms first. Margaret Donaghy, the arbitrator in this case, found USDA “committed unfair labor practices (ULPs) when it engaged in bad faith bargaining and implemented a rule that conflicted with the existing agreement. The nature and scope of the agency’s breaches amounted to a repudiation of the agreement.” The agency changed the remote work and telework agreements for 135 employees, 46 of which required remote work as a condition of employment. “The arbitrator points out in this new decision that nothing the agency argued hasn’t already been argued in other cases and none of it was convincing. The arbitrator is aligning with same opinions from earlier cases,” Summerlin said. “That fact is very illuminating because it seems like a dozen different arbitrators have come to same decision on these cases. Everyone who has a neutral eye and any background in federal labor law could look at this process and say this is wrong and the administration screwed this up from the beginning. It doesn’t matter what agency, the marching orders the agencies received were the same from the administration.” The administration has come out on top in at least three other cases, including one case that became public today, which is related to a grievance filed by the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3313, whose members work for the Transportation Department’s Federal Motor

Nigeria and the United Kingdom are deepening their cybersecurity partnership to strengthen Nigeria’s capacity to combat AI-driven cyber threats, financial cybercrime and attacks on critical national infrastructure. Through the UK-funded Africa Cyber Programme and the broader UK-Nigeria Cyber Memorandum of Understanding, both countries have expanded cooperation in intelligence sharing, cyber resilience, digital forensics, policy development and workforce development, positioning Nigeria as one of Africa’s leading cybersecurity hubs. Stakeholders say the partnership has moved beyond isolated training programmes to become a long-term institution-building initiative designed to leave Nigeria with sustainable local capacity. The intervention comes as Nigeria’s cyber threat landscape continues to evolve, with financially motivated cybercrime targeting banks and fintech companies remaining the country’s biggest digital security challenge, while ransomware attacks against critical infrastructure, including energy facilities and cloud-hosted services, continue to increase. In an interview with BusinessDay Newspapers in Abuja, Lawrence Devlin, Head of Counter-Terrorism British High Commission West Africa, noted that the partnership has focused on building the institutional foundations required for Nigeria to independently identify, investigate and respond to cyber threats rather than relying on external support. A major outcome of the collaboration has been the strengthening of Nigeria’s cyber governance architecture through the review of the National Incident Response Plan, development of cyber maturity frameworks for the protection of Critical National Information Infrastructure and foundational work on the country’s National Digital Forensics Policy framework. Devlin said these initiatives have significantly improved Nigeria’s ability to standardise digital forensic investigations, ensuring that electronic evidence gathered during cyber investigations can withstand scrutiny in both domestic and international courts. Another landmark achievement has been the development of highly specialised Nigerian cybersecurity professionals. “Through the programme, four officers of the National Cybersecurity Coordination Centre (NCCC) became among the first SIM3-certified cybersecurity auditors in Africa. SIM3 is an internationally recognised framework for

Z.ai announced GLM 5.3 on Friday, Aug. 14, 2026, introducing an open-weight artificial intelligence model built for advanced coding and cybersecurity work. The company said the model runs on the same base architecture as its predecessor, GLM 5.2, with every capability gain coming from expanded post-training instead of a larger base model. Z.ai launched OpenVuln alongside the release, a scanning service, branded internally as "VulnHunter," that uses GLM 5.3 to check public code repositories for security flaws. Maintainers submit projects for review, and Z.ai publishes an aggregate security score while keeping detailed findings private until a fix is ready. On CyberGym, a benchmark that scores how well a model finds known vulnerabilities in source code, GLM 5.3 reached 84.5 percent, up from 77.2 percent for GLM 5.2. On ExploitBench, a separate benchmark measuring exploit reasoning, the new model scored 54.4 percent, more than double GLM 5.2's 24.4 percent. Both figures come from Z.ai's own testing and have not been independently verified. Z.ai's public disclosure ledger credits GLM 5.3 with 2,436 vulnerability findings across 269 open-source projects, including 1,097 rated critical or high severity. The company said several of those flaws turned up in the Linux kernel and in widely used VMware and Apache projects. A Z.ai developer advocate also wrote on X that GLM 5.3 flagged a possible vulnerability in Cursor, the AI coding tool SpaceX acquired earlier this year. Z.ai said it will hold back GLM 5.3's public model weights for about two weeks after the Aug. 14 launch, restricting access during that window to a group of vetted security partners through its GLM Coding Plan and ZCode agent. In its announcement, Z.ai wrote that the model's gains "can help defenders identify weaknesses earlier, validate risks, and accelerate remediation." The company also acknowledged that those same gains carry risk

TikTok has reached a $400 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice, ending a 2024 lawsuit alleging the company violated federal children’s privacy laws. The DOJ said Friday that TikTok will pay $300 million immediately and another $100 million after an order vacates an earlier consent decree against its predecessor company, Musical.ly. “This settlement is a major victory for American children and parents,” said U.S. Associate Attorney General Stanley E. Woodward Jr. in a statement. “The Department’s priority is ensuring that children are protected online and that companies entrusted with their personal information meet their legal obligations. This resolution secures a substantial recovery while reinforcing the protections that families expect and deserve.” Since the DOJ’s lawsuit in 2024, TikTok has undergone major changes, most notably in the ownership structure of its U.S. arm. In January, the social video platform company signed agreements with major investors including Oracle, Silver Lake and the Emirati investment firm MGX to form the new TikTok U.S. joint venture. Representatives for TikTok did not immediately respond to a message for comment Friday. The latest lawsuit focused on allegations that TikTok and its China-based parent company ByteDance violated a federal law that requires kid-oriented apps and websites to get parental consent before collecting personal information of children under 13. It also says the companies failed to honor requests from parents who wanted their children’s accounts deleted, and chose not to delete accounts even when the firms knew they belonged to kids under 13. The settlement comes as social media companies face an avalanche of lawsuits over children’s safety and privacy and a growing number of countries are banning young kids and teens from social media apps. Instagram’s parent company, Meta Platforms, is currently on trial in federal court in Oakland, California, over allegations it violated the

A novel malicious software campaign targeting Android specifically for vehicle smart screens has been detected by the research team at cybersecurity company Kaspersky. These systems, which sometimes combine multimedia entertainment and key car controls, have become the new target for cybercriminals. The cybercriminals use a stealthy multi-stage download program, marking the first documented case of this type of harmful computer code infecting a vehicle's multimedia screen through an infection chain exclusively adapted to these automotive systems. With cyber fraud as the goal The main objective of the cybercriminals is to deploy malicious code to commit massive advertising fraud and other harmful activities. According to experts, this activity may be linked to MoYu Group, a cyber threat actor closely related to the well-known infected device network BadBox. Car multimedia screens, whether factory-installed or added later, commonly use the Android operating system to customize the interface and add key functions. This allows most Android applications and malware to run on them. Although these devices rarely store sensitive personal data, they have SIM card slots and continuous internet connection for map navigation and updates, making them an attractive entry point for cybercriminals. Compromised updates The malicious software was distributed by exploiting the update mechanisms integrated into the software of several models of Android screens from provider DoFun, which claims to have already fixed the vulnerability following Kaspersky's notification. The infection chain was caused in the legitimate system application TWCore, responsible for collecting analytics and managing device updates. The cybercriminals manipulated this channel to directly deliver a hidden installation program called JarService, which operated in the background without a user interface and without the driver noticing anything unusual. Once inside, the cybercriminals had nine different commands capable of displaying unwanted ads, executing advertising fraud, and downloading additional harmful modules. Additionally, the malicious software collected

Lieutenant Governor announces select committee to lower cybersecurity threats statewide
Lt. Gov. Hosemann estimates $100 million stolen from Mississippians annually in cyber crimes
BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) — Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann announced the creation of a cybersecurity select committee a few weeks ago.
He says he believes more than $100 million a year is being stolen from Mississippi residents and businesses. That includes hospitals, community colleges and high schools.
Hosemann told WLOX that is where the committee comes into play.
“Now, for that, we’ve set up this group, and we want to talk about looking at a Department of Homeland Security, that we actually have prosecution for these people, that we have information for people, where do you go when this happens to you,” Hosemann said. “We have individuals that are working on who’s trying to penetrate the state assets or your home, for example. So it’s a whole mixed bag of things that include information, prosecution, and hopefully prevention.”
State Senators Scott DeLano and Jeremy England are part of this select committee.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a set of trojanized npm packages that masquerade as working calendar and streak utilities but are engineered to stealthily deliver an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Linux implant dubbed RedC2 4.0. "When the module loads, it locates the bundled binary, marks it executable, and launches it as a detached background process," TrendAI, Trend Micro's enterprise cybersecurity business, said in a report published Thursday. "No install hook function call is needed; a single import anywhere in the dependency graph, even a transitive one, is enough to execute the payload." The list of identified packages is below - - streak-metrics-math@1.0.0,1.0.1 - kit-map-vim@1.0.0 - streak-map-cache@1.0.0 - streak-map-kit@1.0.0 - map-streak-kit@1.0.0 - streak-cache-map@1.0.0 - streak-calc-metrics@1.0.0 - streak-calc-math@1.0.0 - streak-math-abz@1.0.0 - streak-metricsaz@1.0.0 - streak-math-metrics@1.0.0 - streak-metricazbd@1.0.0 - streak-metricsazb@1.0.0 - streak-kit-map@1.0.0 What's notable about these packages is that they are functional and offer the promised functionality. But beneath that garb of date utilities is code designed to drop a Linux backdoor by framing it as a native math accelerator. The name of the file varies across the packages: math-core.bin, math-calc.bin, calc-math.dat, calc-cache.bin, calc.bin, calc-mapping.bin. It's located either directly within the "dist/" or under "dist/internal/,", but what it contains is the same: the RedShell Linux beacon for RedC2 4.0 that communicates with a remote Windows or Linux server to facilitate post-exploitation activities on the compromised host. "Delivery is handled by the package entry file, dist/index.mjs, which acts as a trojan loader," security researcher Aliakbar Zahravi said. "It re-exports the date helpers and launches the bundled implant as soon as the module loads, with no install hook and no exported function required." RedC2 4.0, marketed on cybercrime forums as a cross-platform toolkit for Windows, macOS, and Linux, offers surveillance, credential theft, payload loading, and mass-operation capabilities. The version was advertised by a threat actor named "MarlboroMan" on

SAN ANTONIO — There wasn’t much going on at the University of Texas at San Antonio's main campus on Wednesday despite it being the first day of school. A cybersecurity breach delayed the first day of classes and pushed them to Monday, Aug. 24. Students and teachers had to navigate not having access to their email and UTSA account. “It's been hard. I'm kind of someone who leaves stuff until the last minute, and so I was trying to get my permit and just look at my classes, look at my syllabus, and I just couldn’t,” Alexandria Melendez, a UTSA student, said. “Everything was completely shut off.” UTSA journalism student Natalia Edwards talked about how difficult it was for her to get in contact with UTSA via phone. “Phones aren't working. I'm a military student, so I tried to reach out to make sure all my funds went through, make sure I have my money on the 31st, but can't call them,” Edwards said Wednesday morning. “And then if I try to go on campus, I don't know if they could even get into it because the systems are down.” UTSA President Taylor Eighmy released a statement on the university's website. “The university responded to attempted unauthorized activity of technology systems,” Eighmy said. “Out of an abundance of caution, we proactively took systems and services offline to evaluate our technology environment and reinforce safeguards before bringing services back online.” Even though UTSA's website has a detailed timeline of the events, students have said it’s frustrating learning about new information via social media. As of Thursday, staff received their UTSA accounts, and students have been receiving them in a staggered order.

Officials are investigating a cybersecurity incident at Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail. A “criminal cybersecurity event” was discovered at the Williamsburg facility around July 14, according to a release, when jail authorities became aware of disruptions to the computer systems. The jail is at 9320 Merrimac Trail. Outside cybersecurity experts were immediately called in and asked to investigate, according to VPRJ. The incident “did not disrupt the safety or security of VPRJ’s facilities. Our systems are currently secure, and our operations have returned to normal.” Due to the nature of the event, it’s possible that personal information — including addresses, driver’s license numbers and Social Security numbers — might have been accessed or acquired by the perpetrators. “Basic health information the jail uses to maintain the safety of our facilities for our inmates may also have been impacted,” the jail noted. This includes vaccination status, certain health conditions or the need for health accommodations. In response to the incident, the jail is making complimentary identity monitoring available for those who would like to enroll. The jail is working with state and federal law enforcement, including the FBI’s Cyber Crimes Division, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Cyber Fusion Center of the Virginia State Police. As a result of the incident, VPRJ implemented new cybersecurity safeguards, the jail said. For more information, visit the VPRJ website.

The most useful thing said about cybersecurity this week came from Abhijit Dubey, the global CEO of NTT DATA, who told CNBC that “the frontier AI effectively has changed the cybersecurity equation” because attacks are now exponentially more sophisticated, the surface area has grown, and everything is happening at machine speed. His conclusion follows directly: “when you have attacks that are operating on machine speed, you cannot have defense. That is human speed.” Dubey announced an expanded partnership with Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW | PANW Price Prediction) covering both AI for security and security for AI. The interesting question for investors is which US-listed vendors are positioned for the shift he describes. The money is quietly moving toward whoever can govern autonomous agents, and away from whoever built a business selling vulnerability detection and patching. That reframes the sector from a cost center to a prerequisite for AI adoption. Why Detection And Patching Is the Losing Side Dubey put the legacy problem this way: “Most cybersecurity postures and enterprises effectively are vulnerability detection oriented” at a moment when attackers are exploitation-driven. Nikesh Arora made the same point on PANW’s June earnings call, saying that frontier models can weaponize a vulnerability “in mere minutes,” whereas it used to take months. Jay Chaudhry at Zscaler told investors that “you will never be done patching” and that hiding applications and eliminating lateral movement matters more than trying to close every hole. That is the same argument, phrased architecturally. Vendors whose growth came from selling scanners, dashboards, and remediation queues find themselves in an awkward spot. Their pitch assumes a human has time to look at the alert. The vendors positioned for what comes next sell in-line enforcement, identity, and platform-level context. Palo Alto Networks Is the Named Partner for a Reason PANW’s most
