Two independent security evaluations published this week delivered a verdict that Washington's export control architects did not want to hear: Zhipu AI's GLM-5.2, a Chinese open-weight model that launched June 13 — one day after the US government banned Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 from global access — has matched or approached leading US AI on the exact class of cybersecurity capability that justified the ban. The model is freely downloadable by anyone on Earth, and no export order can reach it. The finding matters because the enforcement architecture behind the Fable 5 ban was designed for a different era of controlled technology. The Export Administration Regulations were built to track physical items — chips, weapons components, hardware with serial numbers, facilities subject to on-site inspection. A 750-billion-parameter model weight file hosted on Hugging Face has no serial number, no facility, and no provenance chain. The enforcement mechanism that made export controls effective for semiconductors is architecturally inapplicable to AI weights once distributed. That gap is now empirically visible in the benchmark scores. The Benchmark Findings That Changed the Argument Semgrep, a security firm that evaluates AI models for vulnerability detection, ran GLM-5.2 against a set of open-source models on its IDOR detection benchmark — the same dataset and prompt it has used to evaluate frontier coding agents. An Insecure Direct Object Reference is an access control flaw in which a web application exposes an internal identifier — a user ID, a database key, a file name — without verifying whether the requesting user is authorized to access it. It has ranked among the most frequently exploited web security vulnerabilities for years and is harder to detect than typical code flaws because it requires recognizing a missing check rather than a dangerous function call. GLM-5.2 scored a 39% F1

States don't expect feds to reliably share election threats: Exclusive State election officials say federal agencies are failing to provide security support needed for the midterms. State election officials do not expect the federal government to reliably share election threat information during the midterm elections, according to internal National Association of Secretaries of State documents obtained exclusively by USA TODAY. A March 27 memo from the bipartisan association says "federal agencies are not seen by states as reliable or sufficient options for being the national hub for election threat information sharing." It adds "states do not expect these entities to reliably share the information they receive." The concern reflects election officials' broader loss of confidence following staffing cuts, funding reductions and organizational changes at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Since 2018, that agency has been a primary conduit for election security briefings and cyber assistance. For months, election officials have worked across party and state lines with nonprofits and technology companies to build alternative channels for sharing intelligence and cybersecurity support. Several officials said that effort is unlikely to match the federal system it is replacing. "I think we will make it through 2026. I think it's sufficient, but it's certainly not equal," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, said. "You're talking about the real potential that something might be able to slip through the cracks. There's a lot more cracks than there used to be." The March 27 memo summarized recent meetings between the National Association of Secretaries of State and National Association of State Election Directors that included threat intelligence teams from Microsoft and Google. The National Association of Secretaries of State's Republican and Democratic leaders signed off on the memo. “A brief review but looks fine to me,” Republican Mississippi Secretary of State Michael

Navigating Cybersecurity Challenges of Agentic AI in Healthcare CISOs are increasingly grappling with how organizations govern systems that can autonomously access data, make decisions, and trigger actions across enterprise environments. Security frameworks were traditionally built for rule-based software — not for systems that take independent actions, as agents do. Healthcare is becoming an especially useful test case because AI agents increasingly interact with highly sensitive data, regulated workflows, and mission-critical operations. Data collaboration platform, Datavant, recently announced its membership in the AIUC-1 Consortium, a group developing standards for the safety, security, and reliability of agentic AI. Healthcare Innovation chatted with Datavant’s CISO, Dan Walsh, about the new cybersecurity realities in the agentic AI world. Could you tell me about your organization? We are a healthcare tech company. Our mission centers around what we refer to as longitudinal health record, providing the healthcare data pipelines for the medical records across the healthcare continuum. We’re embedded in a good portion of the US healthcare system, I think 70 percent of the US health systems. Could you talk a bit about the AIUC-1 Consortium? The AIUC-1 is an organization whose mission is to create a security compliance framework for agentic AI. The traditional security measures and compliance frameworks that we have are falling a bit short. The AIUC-1 brings together industry leaders across various industries and ecosystems to put together a framework that is open, but also that will work for all as this field continues to evolve. Could you discuss the new cybersecurity challenges healthcare organizations are facing now? If we think about how current controls within the healthcare space are designed, there are new questions around whether an agent should have the same ability to do something as a human. How do we make sure that we manage them? It's different

AI darlings wobble for a week and the tape does something familiar: it hunts for cash flows that don’t depend on the next model release. Suddenly, the boring line item every CIO can’t cut looks pretty exciting. That line item is security. And right now the setup around Fortinet feels different. Fresh prints from sector leaders came in hot, UBS just boosted the size of the pie, and Fortinet quietly dropped a new SOC platform that leans into AI without the froth. If you’ve been waiting for the anti-AI-bubble trade to show up in the equity market, cybersecurity might be it — with Fortinet sitting right in the blast radius. Here’s what’s changed. The market has spent two years reflexively paying up for AI exposure. Meanwhile, boards kept signing checks for zero-trust rollouts, data protection, and SOC automation. Security spend is not optional, and AI adoption actually pushes more workloads, data, and identities into risk. UBS just refreshed its take on the broader security and safety universe, pegging 2026’s addressable market at roughly $974 billion, rising to around $1.19 trillion by 2029, with cybersecurity singled out as the primary growth driver (Investing.com / Yahoo Finance reporting UBS research). That scale matters. It says this isn’t a niche hedge. It’s a structural bucket. When AI enthusiasm cools, cash rotates toward businesses that are both mandatory and levered to the same AI wave. Cybersecurity sits at that intersection. Who’s affected? Pretty much everyone across the stack — hyperscalers bundling identity and endpoint, platform players selling consolidation, and newer data security names riding the backup-to-cyber pivot. For crypto and fintech shops, the spillover is direct: custody, key management, and SOC operations all run through the same vendors and processes. Why Fortinet Suddenly Matters to the Rotation Fortinet has long been the installed-base heavyweight

Curtin University program helps connect young autistic people to cyber security industry Sun 28 Jun 2026 at 10:10am Software engineer Benjamynn Weber has always struggled whether to disclose his autism to potential employers. "It's always a question like, 'Oh, should I tell them that I have autism?'" he said. "I'm always aware of the stigma against people with autism." But it's not something he has had to grapple with since he completed a program at Perth's Curtin University aimed at preparing young autistic people for a career in one of Australia's most critical industries. The Autism Academy for Software Quality Assurance (AASQA) program provides training and pathways for autistic people aged over 18 to pursue careers in a variety of tech industries such as robotics, automation, cyber security, data science and artificial intelligence. Program founder Tele Tan says autistic people well-suited to cyber security jobs because they are systematic, logical thinkers. "They like rules and cybersecurity software testing is a rule‑based process, and they definitely are very good at that at a cognitive level," he said. "In terms of technical skills, they are very curious about how things work and are very comfortable with a very structured environment. And software testing is one of them." Internships and more In addition to highlighting the strengths to its students to employers, the program helps participants build confidence in the workplace. Graduates gain industry recognised-certification and students can pursue tertiary study if they wish. "The certification also provides a pathway into university for students who have been told they can't do ATAR," Dr Tan said. The program also includes access to a specialist internship program created in conjunction with the Australian Computer Society Foundation, as well as personal support.

Anthropic Granted Approval To Release Claude Mythos 5 To 100+ U.S. Organizations The Trump administration has authorized artificial intelligence company Anthropic to restore limited access to its flagship Mythos 5 model for a select group of approximately 100 U.S. companies and federal agencies, easing restrictions imposed earlier this month as part of an unprecedented national security review of frontier AI systems. The decision, communicated in a letter from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, represents the first significant breakthrough after nearly two weeks of negotiations between federal officials and Anthropic. While the approval allows certain trusted organizations to begin using Mythos 5 again, the government has stopped short of lifting restrictions on Anthropic's separate Fable 5 model, which remains unavailable pending additional security reviews. The move marks another milestone in the rapidly evolving relationship between Washington and America's leading AI developers, highlighting the growing willingness of the federal government to directly intervene in the release of advanced artificial intelligence systems that officials believe could pose cybersecurity or national security risks. Limited Approval After Intense Negotiations According to multiple reports, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick concluded that sufficient safeguards had been implemented to permit Mythos 5 to return under tightly controlled conditions. Rather than restoring public availability, the authorization limits deployment to a carefully selected network of trusted organizations that includes Fortune 500 companies, critical infrastructure operators, cybersecurity partners and federal agencies. Reports indicate many approved organizations participate in Anthropic's Project Glasswing initiative, a program focused on applying advanced AI to defensive cybersecurity operations. The Commerce Department's approval is viewed as a compromise between maintaining national security controls while avoiding a prolonged disruption for organizations that rely on cutting-edge AI tools for software security, vulnerability detection and cyber defense. Government officials emphasized that the authorization could be revised if new security concerns emerge, underscoring

The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) said it, together with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), uncovered a long-running campaign orchestrated by Russian intelligence services to break into the messaging accounts of government officials, military personnel, politicians, and activists in Ukraine, Europe, and the U.S. The systematic cyber attacks aimed at stealing sensitive information from the victims, the agency added. "The goal of these 'hacks' is to gain access to sensitive military, political, and economic information exchanged by users, as well as to steal their personal data," the agency warned in a post shared on Telegram. To pull off the operation, the attackers send SMS messages that masquerade as the messaging platform's support bot and urge users to disclose their account credentials. The SSU noted that these attacks include not only organizations, officials or public figures, but also personal accounts belonging to Ukrainian nationals. It did not attribute the campaign to a specific hacking group. However, similar attack waves directly aimed at Signal and WhatsApp messaging app users have been attributed to Russian threat activity clusters tracked as Star Blizzard, UNC5792 (aka UAC-0195), and UNC4221 (aka UAC-0185). To counter the risk posed by such threats, it's advised to periodically review active messaging app sessions and log out of unknown connections, enable two-factor authentication, refrain from scanning QR codes received from unknown users, not disclose confirmation codes, PIN codes, passwords, and account recovery keys, and click on suspicious links or open files from unknown or dubious chats. The development comes as the FBI attributed Russian Intelligence Services (RIS) cyber threat actors to an ongoing commercial messaging application (CMA) phishing campaign aimed at high-value targets to deceive them into handing over their backup recovery keys. Late last month, the Computer Emergency Response Team of Ukraine (CERT-UA) attributed to the Belarus-aligned threat

The US government has allowed Anthropic to release its powerful Mythos AI model to select companies and organizations, revising license requirements after ordering an export block earlier this month in the wake of national security fears. Since the export ban earlier in June, “Anthropic has worked with the US government to address risks associated with the Covered Models,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wrote to the company in a letter dated Friday. In light of progress in that work, Lutnick wrote, “I have determined that appropriate safeguards are in place to permit certain trusted partners to access the Claude Mythos 5 Model.” The letter does not include permission for Anthropic to release Fable, a less powerful version of Mythos. “We received notice from the US government that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a small group of cyber defenders and infrastructure providers,” Anthropic said in a statement. “We are working to provision the approved set of providers and restore their access to Mythos 5 as quickly as possible. We are pleased to see this progress and continue to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again,” the statement added. Conversations between Anthropic and the government are expected to continue into the weekend, with an eye to restoring access to Fable, as well, a source familiar with the discussions told CNN. Earlier this month, Anthropic disabled customer access to both Mythos and Fable to comply with the US government’s order to suspend all use by foreign nationals — including Anthropic employees themselves. The export ban and subsequent negotiations with Anthropic underscored the lack of a consistent regulatory framework around AI, even as the technology advances rapidly and the US tries to stay ahead of global competitors like

Recent headlines around AI-driven vulnerability discovery have focused heavily on open-source software. That makes sense given the visibility of public codebases and the growing attention around AI systems identifying flaws in widely used open-source projects. But the cybersecurity industry is overlooking a much larger and potentially more disruptive shift. Proprietary software is unlikely to remain insulated from these same forces for very long. For years, many organizations quietly operated under the assumption that proprietary software carried less security risk simply because its source code was not publicly available. The logic was straightforward: if attackers could not easily inspect the code, discovering vulnerabilities would naturally become harder. That assumption was always somewhat flawed, but AI is seemingly going to render it almost entirely incorrect. Modern AI systems are becoming capable of reverse engineering software behavior, analyzing binaries, identifying code patterns, and uncovering exploitable conditions without requiring direct access to source code. What once demanded large amounts of manual expertise, specialized tooling and time, can increasingly be automated and accelerated. This changes the equation for proprietary software vendors in a very significant way. The cybersecurity industry is entering a period where AI-assisted vulnerability discovery may become commonplace across both open source and closed-source environments. The distinction between the two begins to matter far less when AI can efficiently analyze compiled applications at scale. In many ways, proprietary software vendors may actually face unique challenges as this transition accelerates. Open source communities, despite frequent criticism, often benefit from extensive peer review, public scrutiny, and rapid collaborative remediation. Vulnerabilities are visible, discussed openly, and frequently patched by distributed communities of contributors. Closed-source ecosystems don’t always move with that same level of transparency, let alone speed. Many proprietary vendors still operate on slower release cycles. Some enterprise applications receive infrequent updates. Legacy commercial software often

Qatar’s investments in artificial intelligence (AI), smart infrastructure, and the digital economy have made cybersecurity both relevant and essential to the country’s long-term growth, an official of an Indonesia-based tech firm has said. “Qatar is particularly interesting because of its ambitious vision for technology, innovation, and digital transformation,” Patrick Dannacher, president director and CEO of ITSEC Asia, told Gulf Times in an exclusive interview. Dannacher said, “As the country continues to invest in AI, smart infrastructure, and the digital economy, cybersecurity becomes an essential enabler of trust and resilience.” He continued, “We believe there are tremendous opportunities ahead, and we are committed to supporting organisations across the region with world-class expertise, innovation and a long-term partnership approach. “Ultimately, our mission is very simple: to help businesses and governments innovate with confidence and provide something increasingly valuable in today’s digital economy, which is peace of mind.” According to Dannacher, the company started in Indonesia 16 years ago with seven people. It has since grown to more than 400 cybersecurity professionals across offices in Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Middle East. It is the only listed cybersecurity company on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, he noted. Dannacher said ITSEC Asia’s entry into the Gulf came through a Dubai base, established in 2017, from which it serves organisations across the GCC with services spanning advisory, managed security, penetration testing, security assessments, and cyber resilience programmes. He said the Middle East was a logical next step because it resembles what his teams saw in Southeast Asia years earlier. Dannacher said the Middle East and Southeast Asian regions are undergoing rapid digital transformation, embracing AI at scale and generating rising demand for cyber resilience. In both markets, organisations are searching for partners who can help them grow without making themselves more vulnerable in the process, he

On Wednesday, Chinese cybersecurity firm 360 reportedly unveiled Tulongfeng, an AI tool it says can go head-to-head with Anthropic’s Mythos. That’s the cybersecurity-focused AI model that is reportedly so powerful, the Trump Administration has currently banned it and its more restricted version, Fable 5, from the hands of non-Americans. Earlier the same week Sakana AI, a Tokyo-based AI startup launched Fugu, a model named after the Japanese word for blowfish. The company says this frontier AI model “stands shoulder-to-shoulder with leading models like Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos Preview.” It is also designed for agents, with an ability to orchestrate access to other models though their APIs. The two new Asian model products come as the U.S. government’s ban drags on. It’s order that prevents Anthropic from global access to Mythos and Fable occurred two weeks ago. A spokesperson at Sakana AI told TechCrunch that release of its new model was “entirely coincidental,” yet that hasn’t stopped it from capitalizing on the moment. It’s website advertises “delivering frontier capability without the risk of export controls.” “Sakana Fugu is something we have been building since last year — the research behind it was presented at ICLR this spring, and it reflects an approach that is central to how we deliver frontier-level value at Sakana AI. We were confident in the product on its own merits; the timing simply happened to coincide with a moment that brought it more attention than we expected,” the spokesperson said about launching during the Mythos/Fable export ban. Sakana, co-founded in 2023 by former Google researchers Ren Ito, Llion Jones and David Ha, makes affordable generative AI models that work well with small datasets and are optimized for the Japanese language and culture. While the company is targeting Fugu at Japanese businesses and government agencies looking to

Most security leaders have done the logical thing with AI. They have automated alert queues, added machine learning to vulnerability-management pipelines, and integrated AI into the SIEM. The immediate benefits can be significant: response times can improve, routine work might move faster, and analysts may spend less time on tasks that do not require their full attention. The team structure, however, often stays the same. There is enough happening day to day without adding a workforce redesign to the list, and the existing model may not appear broken. The dashboard is improving. More work is moving through the function. The automation seems to be doing what it was intended to do. The disconnect usually emerges more slowly. Security leaders may see better volume and efficiency metrics while still feeling that the function is not meaningfully stronger. Senior analysts are spending more time reviewing machine-generated output than conducting the deeper investigative work their experience should enable. Less experienced analysts are moving through workflows shaped by automation without always gaining the exposure that helps them develop pattern recognition and independent judgment. The tools may be working exactly as designed. The issue is that many security teams are still organized around how the work looked before automation took on a significant share of the operational load. That creates a workforce problem that hiring alone will not solve. Organizations are often adding automation to an existing team structure rather than redesigning the structure around the new division of labor between people and machines. The result can be more efficiency without more resilience, and more capacity without a clearer path for building or using expertise. The Question Security Leaders Need to Ask Now The question extends beyond simply how much work can be automated to what kind of human work remains, where it should sit,

US allows partial release of Anthropic's Mythos AI model June 27, 2026The United States government has authorized Anthropic to release its powerful Claude Mythos 5, an artificial intelligence model, to some "trusted" American cybersecurity firms, the company announced on Friday. "Today, the government notified us that Mythos 5, our strongest cybersecurity model, can be redeployed to a set of US organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure," Anthropic said in a statement on Friday. "We're restoring access for these organizations quickly, and we're continuing to work with the government to expand access to Mythos 5 and make Fable 5 available for general use again," the statement added. The announcement comes two weeks after the Trump administration had blocked access to Mythos 5. Anthropic has had a thorny relationship with the Trump administration for months. Why were Anthropic's AI models blocked by the Trump administration? Anthropic abruptly rolled back its most advanced AI models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5, for all users after the government issued an order on June 12 restricting their release. The Trump administration had cited concerns that powerful AI systems could be misused by military intelligence users in China, Russia or other countries to take an aggressive approach to oversight of releases of Anthropic's and rival OpenAI's frontier models. The Trump administration was accused of government overreach over its strong control measures against Anthropic. Concerns over who gets access to the powerful AI models The Trump administration has not revealed how it will vet the organizations and which companies, and on what grounds, they will get access to Mythos. OpenAI boss Sam Altman echoed concerns about the government's choosing of who gets access to top models in a post on X. Extensive safety testing "is not a bad idea. I just don't like the idea of the
