India has nearly 39,000 unfilled cybersecurity positions, and the situation is only getting worse. The maximum shortage is in areas like IoT (internet of things), blockchain, and crypto security â where there are nearly twice as many job openings as there are people to fill them, according to HR firm Careernet's latest report, India's Cybersecurity Talent Outlook 2026. The report looked at talent across 14 areas of cybersecurity. India has close to 3 lakh cybersecurity professionals, roughly 5% of the world's total. After IoT and blockchain, the biggest gaps are in application and data security, and protection against future threats like quantum computing attacks. One in five cybersecurity professionals switches jobs every year. But this isn't growing the talent pool, it's just the same people moving from one company to another, the report said. "Security is becoming far more specialised. And specialised talent takes time to build. That's why attrition is so high â the industry grows at around 9â10%, but people are leaving their jobs at nearly double that rate, 19%," Anshuman Das, CEO of Careernet, told ET. He added that most open roles require mid-to-senior-level experience. IT companies employ the largest chunk of cybersecurity talent, which makes other industries heavily dependent on them. Banks and financial firms pull professionals from other sectors. Telecom companies are hiring fast but can't find enough people. Manufacturing barely has any dedicated security staff at all. In fields like security operations, the report said that IT companies have around 60% of the talent, followed by telecom at 15%, product companies at 9%, manufacturing 5%, and banking and finance just 4%. This talent crunch comes at a time when cyberattacks in India are increasing rapidly. CERT-In â the government body that tracks and responds to cyber incidents â recorded over 2 million incidents in

Snowflake’s Agentic Future Puts Security at the Centre Snowflake Summit 26 framed the rise of autonomous AI agents as a governed, auditable evolution anchored in enterprise data controls. Across keynotes, Snowflake executives stressed that AI agents should run where trusted data lives, operate under explicit identities and collaborate across organisations without leaking personal identifiable information (PII). Why it matters for cybersecurity AI agents are rapidly moving from experimental pilots into active production. As a result, security leaders will soon be accountable for the data access, actions and audit trails of these autonomous systems. Running models where the data is naturally reduces data exfiltration risks and simplifies overarching governance, but it simultaneously forces security teams to shift their focus toward granular policy, distinct identity and deep observability for non-human actors. Furthermore, as cross-company data collaboration expands, privacy-preserving controls and role separation are transitioning into first-class engineering requirements. Key security-centric announcements and themes To address these challenges, Snowflake positioned its autonomous agents as systems operating directly over enterprise data under existing governance frameworks, rather than inside opaque, external black boxes. A cornerstone of this strategy is a deepened partnership with Anthropic, allowing customers to run Claude models and deploy AI agents natively inside Snowflake environments through Cortex AI. This model-in-platform approach ensures sensitive data never leaves the existing perimeter, which significantly reduces data movement risk and helps maintain consistent controls. Snowflake also introduced the foundation of Agent Identity, which allows security and data teams to explicitly recognise when actions occur within an agent’s context and apply custom masking or visibility rules. As Christian Kleinerman noted, policies can now treat agent traffic differently by tightening or expanding access as needed. This governance extends to multi-party collaboration, where Snowflake highlighted capabilities that let multiple organisations analyse and activate shared datasets without exposing raw PII

This blog will unpack President Donald Trump’s new executive order (EO) on AI as well as Anthropic’s announcement about expanding Project Glasswing to many more global organizations. I will save the last topic as a surprise, but you can scroll down and peak ahead to the ending of this piece, if you must. PRESIDENT TRUMP’S NEW AI EO As highlighted by numerous global media outlets including GovTech, “An executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Tuesday highlights security considerations and directs specific federal agencies to take actions intended to strengthen cybersecurity.” First, the June 2, 2026, White House EO entitled “Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security” can be found here. Second, the Federal News Network analysis and commentary provides helpful context: “The White House is directing new federal cyber guidance and the establishment of an artificial intelligence cybersecurity ‘clearinghouse’ under a highly anticipated AI executive order. “In the Tuesday executive order on AI innovation and security, President Donald Trump directed agencies to work with the private sector to both modernize systems and ‘harden them against external threats.’ “The EO notably directs several agencies to establish a voluntary system for the government to evaluate advanced frontier AI models for cybersecurity risks before they’re released publicly. “The executive order has been in the works for weeks. It comes in response to advancements in new AI models, particularly the Anthropic Claude Mythos model preview, that showed their ability to far outpace humans in identifying and exploiting new cyber vulnerabilities.” Third, Breaking Defense wrote that the Trump executive order on AI gives a central role to the NSA: “While most of the system the executive order set up is indeed voluntary, there’s no opting-out of the NSA oversight. Instead, the document directs the NSA to ‘develop and maintain a classified benchmarking process

If anything, 2026 has made clear that cybersecurity is no longer a background concern — it’s front and center, woven into almost every major story of the year. Yes, wars are still raging, the climate keeps worsening, and we’re seemingly one dodgy sneeze away from the next global pandemic. But running beneath all of it is a digital current that touches everything: wars being fought on digital fronts as well as physical ones, governments weaponizing citizens’ own data against them, botnets quietly undermining democratic institutions, nation-state hackers targeting civilian infrastructure from power grids to water systems, and ransomware gangs holding companies and institutions hostage for massive payouts. The attacks are getting bolder, more destructive, and harder to contain. As we’re halfway through this already horrendous year of digital attacks and hybrid warfare, we look at some of the worst hacks and breaches so far, and how they might affect us going forward. Questions remain over DOGE’s massive swipe of Social Security data A year on, after operatives with the Elon Musk-led band of government destroyers known as the Department of Government Efficiency (or DOGE) swept through and dismantled federal agencies from the inside out, we’re still learning about the data lapses that happened under their watch. After DOGE entered the Social Security Administration, it remains unclear as to what happened with some of the nation’s most sensitive data, as lawsuits battle on in federal court. The most alarming whistleblower’s claim is that DOGE uploaded a live copy of the Social Security database to an unsecured third-party server, leading to a scramble to understand what was stored in it. This database allegedly contained the Social Security numbers and associated personal information of most living Americans. In court filings, the Social Security Administration doesn’t know for sure what was on the server,

CrowdStrike Earnings Beat Sparks Selloff—Buy the Dip? Shares of CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. CRWD were down about 4% the day after the cybersecurity company delivered what was, by fundamental metrics, a strong earnings report. For the first quarter of its 2027 fiscal year, CrowdStrike delivered a beat on the top and bottom lines and raised its guidance. Revenue of $1.39B was up 26% year over year (YOY). Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.10 was a gain of over 50% YOY. 51% of customers now use 6+ modules. Net new annual recurring revenue totaled $255.8 million. Record free cash flow hit $468.5 million. One of the report's strongest elements was the $6 million increase in annual recurring revenue (ARR) for the company’s Falcon platform. That was better than expected, but apparently not enough to satisfy investors. However, this appears to be a case where high-frequency trading platforms sell first and discern later. With CRWD up sharply in the last three months, algorithms were looking for a stronger number than they got. But if investors look past the noise, the outlook for CrowdStrike and other cybersecurity stocks is bullish. A Beat That Wasn't Enough To be fair, the selloff wasn't purely about CrowdStrike—it also reflected a market already on edge. CrowdStrike’s report came on a day when the market sold off on concerns over a re-escalation of hostilities with Iran, as well as a revenue miss by Broadcom Inc. AVGO that stoked concerns about a frothy artificial intelligence (AI) trade. Cybersecurity stocks aren’t immune to AI fears. The concern is that the current business models of companies, such as CrowdStrike, will be less viable in an AI-driven future. Specifically, that AI tools will allow companies to automate the tasks that once required cybersecurity products. If that’s the case, then the future valuation

Budapest, Hungary - Jun 6, 2026 - Automotive cybersecurity solution provider, PCA Cyber Security has published its Q1 2026 Global Automotive Threat Intelligence Report, the latest edition of its quarterly automotive cybersecurity news briefing tracking automotive cybersecurity trends and incidents in 2026. The report finds that automotive-specific vulnerabilities have doubled in twelve months. PCA Cyber Security’s threat intelligence team identified 265 new CVEs in Q1 2026, a 28 per cent rise over Q4 2025 and a 102 per cent increase year-on-year vs Q1 2025. An example of the headline incidents noted by PCA Cyber Security in Q1 include a cyber-physical "bricking" event, where attackers compromised a telematics provider and left car owners unable to unlock or start vehicles via the mobile app for up to two weeks, a 12.4 million-record breach at a major online auto marketplace (executed via AI-assisted voice phishing against the companies help desk) and a 200 GB IP leak from a Tier-1 electronics supplier exposing design files for multiple OEMs. January's Pwn2Own Automotive contest in Tokyo produced 76 zero-days and $1.047 million in payouts, with the most consequential results targeting EV charging infrastructure from Autel, ChargePoint, and Alpitronic. "2026 is the year automotive cybersecurity stops being a policy alignment exercise and becomes operational proof," said Vlad Ryabyshkin, Chief Technology Officer at PCA Cyber Security. "The Q1 data shows threats are scaling faster than traditional defences, and the human perimeter and cloud control plane are now as critical as the in-vehicle network." PCA Cyber Security recommends immediate adoption of phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2) across help desk functions and a move toward a "degraded mode" telematics architecture to keep vehicles functional during cloud outages.
