TL;DR Cracken launched a self-serve tier of its proactive security platform at $199 a month, its first public access outside contracts The San Francisco-based AI lab is making its proactive security tooling available without a sales call for the first time, while keeping its unrestricted offensive capabilities under enterprise contract Cracken, a San Francisco-based applied AI lab focused on offensive cybersecurity, has launched a self-serve version of its proactive security platform. Enterprise security teams and individual practitioners can now create an account and start testing their own organisations against real attack paths without a procurement cycle or sales call. It is the first time the company’s tooling has been available outside a contracted engagement. The launch comes weeks after AI models from both OpenAI and Anthropic broke out of their test environments and compromised real companies, incidents that have sharpened industry focus on proactive defence. Cracken’s pitch is that traditional security tools test individual components, while attackers chain entire organisations, and its platform is designed to find the organisational vulnerabilities, threats, and risks that component-level testing misses. The self-serve tier covers what Cracken calls the discovery and remediation side of its work, including an operator workflow for mapping organisational risk and a “Cybergraph” that holds every asset, finding, and piece of evidence. Human-in-command controls govern every engagement: scope locks on the defined target, approval gates before any non-reversible action, and full audit logging. The company’s more aggressive offensive capabilities remain behind the enterprise paywall. Those include Cracken Red, the company’s unrestricted AI model built specifically for offensive cybersecurity, as well as restricted sensitive playbooks and air-gapped deployment options. Cracken says the split is deliberate, given the sensitivity of full kill-chain offensive tooling. “Reactive cyber is dead, and organisations need to change fast while their own bureaucracy moves slow,” said Artem

With the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency warning that hackers are targeting water entities of all sizes in the U.S. and reports surfacing that Iran has hacked into municipal water systems in seven states, New York state is releasing funds to help municipalities secure their drinking water and wastewater systems. Various systems in the Hudson Valley are due to receive the new funding, part of $9 million in grants awarded to 153 local government projects statewide through the Strengthening Essential Cybersecurity for Utilities and Resiliency Enhancements (SECURE) grant program. According to Gov. Kathy Hochul, the funding will support communities in their efforts to bolster their cybersecurity posture against increasingly sophisticated and dangerous cyber threats to drinking water and wastewater systems. “As we have seen with recent malicious cyberattacks on water systems across multiple states, these threats are real and escalating,” Hochul said. “These investments give local governments the tools they need to strengthen their defenses, safeguard essential services, and keep delivering safe, reliable water to New Yorkers.” SECURE grants and no-cost technical assistance from the Environmental Facilities Corporation will help local governments implement the new state standards including mandatory cybersecurity training for certified operators, cybersecurity incident reporting requirements and new standards to protect critical operations and sensitive information. The first recent public sign of the drinking water system cyberattacks came from Minnesota authorities, who said that hackers targeted about 30 water systems in that state. The “likely desired impact” of the hackers’ intrusion at the water facilities was “to cause loss of system pressure and subsequent potential contamination of water supply,” according to a memo distributed by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and obtained by CNN. The hackers appear to be targeting systems connected to the internet through such devices as those that monitor water pressure, chemical dosing

Cybersecurity expert weighs in on recent suspected attacks on U.S. infrastructure BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Federal Investigators are looking into whether Iran was behind a coordinated cyberattack targeting more than 30 municipal water systems across several states. Ricoh Danielson, a cybersecurity expert, joined KBTX to talk about the potential for other attacks. Danielson said water systems are an easy target because they aren’t very well protected. “So a lot of these threat-acting groups are breaching these water systems because one, it’s old and antiquated. It’s very old technology. These are underfunded. A lot of people are just not paying attention.” Danielson said nation-state threat actors from Russia, China, and Iran will hack into those systems to cause harm. “But the bigger thing is it’s just relic technology that needs to be updated, and the vulnerabilities need to be shored up.” In addition to physical harm, groups will also use these attacks to wage psychological warfare, according to Danielson. “You think anywhere from like toll booths, telco systems, antiquated oil servers, antiquated water systems, electrical power grid, that’s a big one right there. And then all the things that go below it as well. So, I mean, no target is off-balance here.” President Donald Trump blamed local officials in Minnesota for the water disruptions, and while Iran was initially thought to be behind the attacks, Danielson said this type of attack doesn’t fit their normal operations: “This looks like the Russian Strutsku or the GRU, which is more specifically a Russian threat coming from their intelligence.” Danielson also believes groups have already targeted places in Texas. “If you really look at some of the research that I’ve done, there are over 150,000 water pumps. That’s 150,000 targets that are underfunded, need technology, and also need some sort of security around it.

Liz Landers discussed more with Cynthia Kaiser, a former deputy assistant director of the FBI’s cyber division currently at Halcyon. Amna Nawaz: Well, according to the FBI, at least seven states have now been targeted in a growing wave of cyberattacks on critical water infrastructure across the country. Federal officials are reportedly investigating Iran as the likely culprit. Liz Landers has the latest on this story. Liz Landers: Amna, the coordinated attacks follow urgent warnings issued last month by cybersecurity agencies who said Iran was actively targeting water and energy infrastructure nationwide. In Minnesota, officials said at least 30 municipal water systems were hit. Utilities providers across the country are now scrambling to beef up their security. For more, we're joined by Cynthia Kaiser. She is former deputy assistant director of the FBI's Cyber Division and a senior vice president at the cybersecurity company Halcyon. Cynthia, thank you for joining "News Hour." Cynthia Kaiser, Former FBI Cyber Deputy Director: Thank you for having me. Liz Landers: What do we know so far about these attacks? What kind of damage were they able to do and who is being targeted here? Cynthia Kaiser: Attackers have been breaking into the small computers that run America's water system. In a very small number of cases, there have been some disruptive actions. Now, FBI and EPA have reported that utilities in at least seven states have known incidents that are of similar kind of severity, which shows just how broad this issue really is. Liz Landers: So far, federal authorities have not linked this to any specific actor. Who

Five years ago, as libraries adapted to the disruption of the pandemic, the focus was on maintaining access to information, supporting remote learning and accelerating digital transformation. The conversation has evolved and today, academic libraries are navigating a new set of strategic priorities: strengthening cybersecurity, managing growing volumes of research data, demonstrating institutional value, and working more closely with research offices, IT teams and university leadership. This blog is the first in a series where we explore how these priorities are reshaping the role of the library, and how librarians are positioning themselves at the centre of trust, data and research support. Drawing on insights from library leaders and experts including Lauren Dodd, Director of Collection Management, Discovery and Strategic Communication at Bryn Mawr College; Amy Lewontin, Collection Development Librarian at Northeastern University; Hilde van Wijngaarden, Director of University Library Services at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; John Sandstrom, Head of Acquisitions at New Mexico State University; and Lisa Redlinski, UK-based Information Strategy Consultant, this blog explores four of the most significant shifts shaping academic libraries today: cybersecurity, data management, demonstrating value and collaboration across institutional teams. “The tools change, but the mission does not. The core purpose of libraries remains constant: supporting, teaching, and guiding our users on how to conduct research and evaluate information in an ever-changing research landscape.”- Lauren Dodd, Director, Collection Management, Discovery and Strategic Communication at Bryn Mawr College Academic libraries have always balanced access with stewardship. Now, that responsibility extends beyond collections to repositories, research data, cloud services and digital infrastructure. As a result, cybersecurity is becoming a key strategic concern. What began as a focus on seamless access to information now also requires an equal commitment to protecting it. High-profile cyberattacks across the sector have highlighted the vulnerability of research infrastructure and reinforced the need

INDIANAPOLIS (WRTV) — Indiana has launched the Office of Cybersecurity to prevent cyberattacks and improve emergency response efforts as threats to local governments, schools and businesses grow. The office operates within the Indiana Department of Homeland Security. Alyssa Schroeder serves as the interim director. “Cybersecurity, unfortunately, continues to be a real threat to the state,” Schroeder said. The office will coordinate with state agencies, including the Indiana State Police, Indiana National Guard and the Indiana Office of Technology. It also will work with local governments and private companies. Schroeder said the primary threats come from hackers looking to disrupt essential services such as water, energy, banking and telecommunications. Artificial intelligence also poses a threat, specifically regarding scams and sophisticated attacks. “We know the attacks are coming stronger, better, faster,” Schroeder said. “How can we be ready for that?” Cyberattacks often lead to identity theft and financial loss. Schroeder noted that the new office aims to protect private businesses because their failure can have severe consequences for the public. For example, a breach at a grocery store could prevent citizens from buying food or accessing banking services. A recent report found that 58% of small and midsized business executives consider data breaches a greater concern than fires, floods and physical break-ins combined. Public records also show that taxpayer money often pays for repairs when a school or government agency suffers an attack. The office plans to provide partners with resources and information to prevent these incidents. Officials are searching for a permanent director to lead the team of two to three employees. “We really want this office to be a coordinator function,” Schroeder said. 8 steps to protect your identity Source: Identity Theft Resource Center - Monitor credit reports: Regularly check credit reports and freeze credit to catch and prevent unauthorized

The Senate's CR would keep the government open through Dec. 11, while extending cyber information sharing authorities and the Technology Modernization Fund. The Senate’s bill to keep the government funded past the midterm elections would extend critical cybersecurity authorities and allow the Technology Modernization Fund to continue investing in agency tech projects. The Senate Appropriations Committee released its version of the continuing resolution on Sunday. The bill would fund the government at current levels from the start of fiscal 2027 on Oct. 1 through Dec. 11. House Republicans passed their version of a “clean CR” along party lines last month. The House bill would fund the government through Dec. 4. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said it is “free of poison pills” while extending critical programs. The Senate’s bill, meanwhile, has more provisions, including bipartisan extensions and other compromises to meet the upper chamber’s 60-vote threshold for advancing a bill. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Susan Collins (R-Maine) said she worked with colleagues in both parties to craft the funding measure. “This CR is straightforward,” Collins said in a statement. “It continues current government funding levels until Dec. 11 and includes necessary adjustments for programs like the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), vital national security programs, including shipbuilding across multiple vessels, and the Disaster Relief Fund. The CR also avoids any poison pills.” The Senate bill blocks the Office of Management and Budget from implementing its re-write of federal grant regulations. Collins has called on OMB Director Russell Vought to rescind parts of those proposed regulations. In a statement, Appropriations Committee Vice Chairwoman Patty Murray (D-Wash) applauded the grants provision and others. She said the Senate CR includes “important extensions and language that House Republicans’ CR did not.” “It rejects Trump’s frivolous war spending

A state grant program focused on making local government operations more secure has awarded thousands of dollars to over a dozen towns across the north country to shore up their water system security. The grants come as local water operations in at least seven states face targeted cyberattacks that many suspect originate from Iran. The attacks have interrupted and degraded water supplies, but no reports of catastrophic failures or health hazards have been made. The timing of the New York grants for security improvements isn’t directly tied to those ongoing attacks, but Gov. Kathleen C. Hochul said the recent attacks highlight the need for investment. “As we have seen with recent malicious cyberattacks on water systems across multiple states, these threats are real and escalating,” she said. “These investments give local governments the tools they need to strengthen their defenses, safeguard essential services, and keep delivering safe, reliable water to New Yorkers.” With the grants, known as SECURE grants, and free technical help from the Environmental Facilities Corporation, local government recipients will undertake cybersecurity assessments and then address gaps in their systems as identified. In Jefferson County, the villages of Carthage and Clayton are getting $50,000 each, and the town of Henderson is also getting $50,000. In St. Lawrence County, the town of Hermon is getting $50,000, while the Clinton County town of Peru is getting $20,000. In Franklin County, the village of Malone is getting $50,000. Statewide, $9 million is going to 153 water systems. (0) comments Welcome to the discussion. Log In Keep it Clean. Please avoid obscene, vulgar, lewd, racist or sexually-oriented language.

Tenable (TENB +7.14%) is a cybersecurity company that specializes in exposure management, a proactive form of enterprise protection that identifies vulnerabilities in corporate networks before attackers can exploit them. Hackers are currently using artificial intelligence (AI) to find these weaknesses faster than ever before, so demand for exposure management is surging. As a result, Tenable stock has soared by over 40% this year. But it has a market capitalization of just $3.6 billion, so it's still worth a fraction of cybersecurity giants CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks, which have a combined market cap of over $450 billion. Moreover, Tenable stock looks like a bargain compared to its peers based on one widely used valuation metric, which could open the door to significant long-term upside. Exposure management is entering a new era Tenable is the owner of Nessus, which is the cybersecurity industry's most accurate and most widely deployed tool for identifying vulnerabilities. It constantly scans devices, operating systems, and networks for weak spots, so they can be patched before they are exploited. However, Nessus alone is no longer enough, so it has become an onramp to Tenable's growing portfolio of more advanced products. The company built a comprehensive exposure management platform called Tenable One, which is designed to fulfill every possible requirement enterprises might have. It's powered by an AI engine called Hexa AI, which learns how different corporate assets interact so that it's equipped to flag vulnerabilities. Moreover, it autonomously runs scans to ensure an appropriate security posture is maintained, and it even coordinates specialized AI agents that can implement fixes when necessary. Tenable One also features a specific tool to protect enterprises when their employees are deploying AI software. It's called AI Exposure, and it constantly monitors how AI applications are being used and what data is at

The Trump administration has completed a voluntary framework for cybersecurity testing of the nation’s most advanced artificial intelligence models, according to Reuters, marking the latest step in the federal government’s effort to address concerns that increasingly capable AI systems could be used to launch or assist cyberattacks. Reuters reported Monday that White House officials have finalized the testing protocols and plan to discuss them with major AI developers, including Anthropic, OpenAI and Google. A source familiar with the discussions told Reuters that Anthropic representatives were invited to a White House meeting Tuesday, while Reuters cited a separate report from The Information saying OpenAI and Google also were invited. According to Reuters, the White House has not disclosed how the evaluations will be conducted, what benchmarks will be used or how the results will be shared. Read more: Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence Expands Cybersecurity, Federal Oversight The framework follows a June directive from President Donald Trump instructing his administration to develop tests measuring the cyber capabilities of advanced American AI models, Reuters reported. The effort reflects growing concern among policymakers that rapidly advancing AI technology could enable malicious cyber activity or make sophisticated attacks easier to carry out. The initiative comes after recent disclosures by leading AI companies about the capabilities of their systems during internal security exercises. Reuters reported that Anthropic said last week some of its AI models successfully penetrated the computer systems of three companies during cybersecurity testing. The news followed an OpenAI disclosure that one of its experimental AI agents escaped its testing environment and gained access to systems operated by AI platform Hugging Face during a security evaluation. OpenAI spokespersons told Reuters that Chief Executive Sam Altman met with White House officials last week to discuss both the voluntary testing program and the company’s upcoming

CREST Launches World’s First Accredited AI Standards for Cybersecurity Service Providers The first-of-its-kind initiative marks a critical transition for the industry, from voluntary commitments to independently verified standards for AI-enabled cybersecurity services. CREST, the leading international non-profit representing the global cybersecurity industry, announces the launch of its first AI additions to its standards for accredited cybersecurity service providers. The first-of-its-kind initiative marks a critical transition for the industry, from voluntary commitments to independently verified standards for AI-enabled cybersecurity services. Over three-quarters (76%) of cybersecurity providers have increased their AI usage over the past year, and 69% are already integrating it into daily service delivery, according to CREST’s AI in Penetration Testing report. However, recognised standards for demonstrating responsible AI use have not kept pace with this change. As cybersecurity’s premier accrediting authority, CREST is stepping in to address this gap head-on. The standards provide practical, independently assessable requirements. These help service providers demonstrate and verify responsible AI usage, both within their businesses and when delivering services. Applications are now open for both existing CREST members, as well as cybersecurity service providers who wish to obtain additional recognition for the use of AI within their accredited penetration testing services. The optional AI-Enabled Penetration Testing requirements form part of the CREST Penetration Testing Accreditation Standard and provide independent assurance of responsible AI usage. “AI adoption is outpacing governance, and we are here to fix that. We recognise that buyers are increasingly demanding that AI-enabled services are independently assured. In such a fast-moving space, there was no time to waste. We believe these new additions to our standards will provide a practical, enforceable framework to regain the market’s trust.” – Nick Benson, CEO, CREST Trust is becoming a competitive differentiator for providers. Buyers, regulators, and procurement teams are demanding greater accountability and independent

Ransomware attacks have evolved significantly over the past few years, with cybercriminals increasingly relying on a tactic known as double extortion. In these attacks, hackers not only encrypt an organization’s data to disrupt operations but also steal sensitive information before launching the encryption process. This stolen data becomes an additional bargaining tool. If the victim refuses to pay the ransom or delays negotiations, the attackers often threaten to publish or sell the stolen information to third parties, increasing the pressure to comply with their demands. Despite repeated warnings from cybersecurity experts and law enforcement agencies, some organizations continue to trust the promises made by ransomware groups after paying a ransom. One such case involves River Bank and Trust, a subsidiary of River Financial Corporation based in Alabama. The bank disclosed that it believed the attackers had deleted the stolen data after receiving the ransom payment, relying on assurances provided by the cybercriminals. While this may appear to be a practical decision from a business continuity perspective, it highlights the difficult choices organizations face during ransomware incidents. In many cases, recovering encrypted systems from backups can be time-consuming, costly, or even impossible if the backups have also been compromised. As a result, some businesses choose to pay the ransom in the hope of quickly restoring operations and preventing further damage. However, cybersecurity professionals and law enforcement authorities consistently advise against making ransom payments. Paying cybercriminals not only encourages future attacks by demonstrating that extortion can be profitable, but it also offers no guarantee that the stolen information will actually be deleted. Victims have little or no way to verify whether hackers have honored their promises, leaving them exposed to future risks such as data leaks, identity theft, or additional extortion attempts. A notable example supporting this concern emerged in 2024 when
