Education & Training Advance Your Cybersecurity Career Practical advice for cyber professionals seeking to advance their careers. Security Magazine: What education or certification(s) can support a successful career in cybersecurity? Jenkins: As a hiring manager for more than 20 years, I recognize and appreciate that having a degree or being “certified” is not necessarily indicative of knowledge, skill, or long‑term success. I have hired several candidates — and worked with many colleagues — who had no formal credentials to speak of, yet they were highly skilled and successful in their fields. That said, having one or more degrees or certifications related to your career — in this case, cybersecurity — does imply a certain level of foundational knowledge, discipline, and the ability to synthesize information. Relevant education and certifications also help establish a shared vernacular and common thought processes, which creates useful points of reference when working with others in the same professional domain. Education that supports a successful career in cybersecurity, even if not explicitly labeled as such, includes related technical and engineering disciplines such as computer science, information technology, computer engineering, and electrical engineering. Useful corollaries include business- and policy‑oriented education in areas like information systems, business administration, and even privacy or technology law. Certifications include the obvious examples — CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CompTIA Security+, and others. Ultimately, what matters most to me as a hiring manager is hands‑on experience, demonstrated skills, certifications that align to the role, and the relevance of a candidate’s educational background. Aspiring leaders must also know how to build trust — both with their teams and with executive leadership. These capabilities are not ‘nice to have’; they are foundational skills for anyone seeking to lead effectively in cybersecurity. Security: What “soft skills” should aspiring security leaders develop?

The San Francisco AI firm Anthropic has developed a new model that it says is too powerful to be released to the public. Called Mythos, Anthropic says it’s in a “different league” when it comes to identifying and exploiting cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and in the wrong hands could enable bad actors to unleash powerful cyberattacks. Anthropic is alerting governments and releasing a limited version called Claude Mythos Preview to about 40 tech companies (including some of its AI competitors) to find and fix their own security vulnerabilities. We look at how this next generation of AI could reshape digital security and policy.

The April 14 Park County Commission meeting was held in the City/County Complex in Livingston. The City of Livingston and Park County are developing a cybersecurity incident response plan. It’s part of an effort to ensure public resources aren’t compromised by hackers and other malicious actors. State, local, tribal and territorial governments are frequent targets of cyberattacks and are on the front lines of cybersecurity, according to a fact sheet from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. “Whether it’s a phishing email targeting a small-town clerk or ransomware disrupting a huge city’s emergency services, you see real threats every day,” reads the fact sheet. Park County commissioners will consider adopting a resolution on Tuesday to establish the Park County-City of Livingston Computer Security Incident Response Team to support the development and implementation of the Park County Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan. The team would include a core IT group consisting of the county IT director and two people appointed by the director; and a staff support group composed of the county emergency management director, county HR director, city HR director, someone appointed by the sheriff, county commission assistant, and the county maintenance director. The purpose of the IT group will be to direct cybersecurity incident response efforts, analyze cybersecurity incidents, recommend technical containment actions, and other such efforts as appropriate, according to the proposed resolution. The staff group will support the efforts of the IT group and engage appropriate city and county departments. Commissioners will consider the resolution

At the same time, the city board that manages the office ignored concerns from other city departments and officials that the office may have violated state laws, a member of the Madison City Council said. Madison police paused openly sharing data with the Office of the Independent Police Monitor and requested an internal review of its employees’ handling of sensitive documents after learning that sensitive, unredacted documents it had provided the office were being uploaded to a personal device and analyzed with software not approved by the city’s IT department. Cybersecurity isn’t the city’s only concern with the monitor’s office. In an email the Wisconsin State Journal obtained through a public records request, Ald. MGR Govindarajan told the chair of the Police Civilian Oversight Board, Maia Pearson, the office’s staff were working beyond allotted hours, circumvented the city’s AI policy and purchased and contracted services without following city guidelines. “While independence in its core function is both important and necessary, extending that independence to areas such as compliance with City policies and legal requirements creates risk not just for the OIM, but for the City as a whole,“ Govindarajan wrote. POLICE PUSHBACK AGAINST DATA SHARING Police paused record-sharing on Nov. 7 after the monitor’s data analyst, Greg Gelembiuk, told Assistant Police Chief Angie Kamoske that he had used his personal computer to analyze police records provided to the monitor’s office. According to an internal memo from Madison Police Chief John Patterson, Gelembiuk called his city-issued laptop a “paperweight“ and stated that he received permission from the previous monitor, Robin Copley, to use his own device. Gelembiuk never received approval from the city’s IT department to use his own computer for the work. He also reportedly told Kamoske that he used software that IT initially rejected. “I have ‘data analyst’ in

The House Appropriations Financial Services and General Government (FSGG) Subcommittee advanced its fiscal year (FY) 2027 appropriations bill on Friday, including $5 million for the Technology Modernization Fund (TMF) and millions in appropriations for cybersecurity improvements. In the FY 2027 FSGG bill, House appropriators included $5 million in total funding for the TMF “to remain available until expended.” The TMF – overseen by the General Services Administration (GSA) – was created in 2017 under the Modernizing Government Technology Act to fund federal civilian agencies’ technology modernization projects. House appropriators’ draft differs slightly from the White House’s FY 2027 budget proposal. The White House asked for no direct appropriation for the TMF and instead recommended relying on budget transfer authority to fund the program. That approach would allow GSA – with the Office of Management and Budget’s approval – to collect up to $100 million in unobligated appropriations across federal agencies to fund the TMF. The House, according to its bill, is instead considering funding the TMF directly. The $5 million in funding – if enacted – would match what Congress ultimately approved for FY 2026 TMF appropriations. Beyond TMF-related funding, the 2027 FSGG bill takes a largely decentralized approach to IT funding. It expands agencies’ ability to redirect existing funds toward IT modernization, allowing up to 5% of certain appropriations to be transferred into IT working capital funds. At the same time, the bill continues support for shared digital services through GSA, with the Federal Citizen Services Fund authorized to finance interagency IT projects and improvements to online government services, up to $150 million. The measure channels funding into data and analytics capabilities, particularly for Treasury systems used in financial analysis and data processing. The bill does not include major new artificial intelligence funding, but it still enables agencies to

Understanding Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification: The New Standard for Doing Business with the Department of Defense The post Understanding Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification: The New Standard for Doing Business with the Department of Defense appeared first on Welcome to the PKWARE Blog – PKWARE®. For anyone working with or hoping to work with the Department of Defense (DoD), cybersecurity compliance is no longer optional. It’s now a condition of doing business. The DoD created the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) to solve a growing problem within the defense supply chain: inconsistent protection of sensitive information and unreliable self-reporting of compliance. CMMC changes that equation. It replaces self-attestation with formal certification, holding every defense contractor to clearly defined technical and legal standards. For thousands of organizations across the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), those standards are both explicit and non-negotiable. Why Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification Exists The DoD depends on a vast network of suppliers, subcontractors, and service providers. These organizations handle two main types of information: - Federal Contract Information (FCI): Data generated under government contracts not meant for public release - Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI): Sensitive but unclassified material such as technical drawings, specifications, or export-controlled data Before CMMC, the government relied on contractors to self-report compliance with the NIST SP 800-171 cybersecurity framework. However, assessments revealed large gaps—particularly around encryption and data protection. The result was predictable. The outcome was inconsistent safeguards across the supply chain. With this comes increased risk to national security. CMMC aims to correct that, ensuring accountability through verified audits and standardized certification. The Three Levels of Compliance CMMC 2.0 organizes requirements into three tiers: Foundational: Level 1 - Defines the basic safeguards for contractors handling FCI only. - Directs organizations to self-assess their compliance with 17 core practices. Advanced: Level 2 - Applies to

The greatest documentarians of computer vulnerabilities are completely overwhelmed and cannot keep up with the security holes, given the speed at which they are occurring. This is the main conclusion of the statement sent by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The agency has announced that from now on they will only add details and information to those records of failures that meet certain criteria. To date, the NIST had strictly fulfilled its mission to catalog all CVEs (common vulnerabilities and exposures) as they occurred. The agency was responsible for adding descriptions and data to each failure after being listed in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). However, the avalanche of new entries has made this task impossible for its staff. It is known that only 21 people are working on monitoring and documenting these bugs. The volume of vulnerabilities has increased massively in recent years. From 2020 to 2025, CVE submissions grew by 263%. And this year, the situation has escalated even more. "Requests during the first three months of 2026 are almost a third higher than those in the same period last year. We are working faster than ever... but it is not enough to keep up," the agency acknowledged. Selective with the 'enrichments' Therefore, NIST has decided to be selective with the 'enrichments'. This term refers to those vulnerabilities that receive additional information after being identified. Just last year, 42,000 entries were 'enriched'. Thus, although new CVEs will be incorporated into the list, only those failures actively exploited by the CISA agency, flaws in software used by the federal government, and vulnerabilities in programs considered critical will be updated. With these filters, some streamlining is expected. The idea is to be able to provide additional information on the most critical security issues within 24 hours.

A cybersecurity company based in Mexico, BePrime, was reportedly the victim of a cyberattack that allegedly resulted in the leak of 12.6 GB of data and access to network infrastructure and video surveillance, according to information published by the supposed attacker on a cybercrime forum. The company, which provides connectivity and security services to large corporations such as Iberdrola, ArcelorMittal, Whirlpool, or Alsea (operator of Starbucks, Domino's, and Vips), was allegedly compromised by accessing administrator accounts without multifactor authentication (MFA), according to the malicious actor's claims. That is, although it seems paradoxical, the company apparently did not have one of the most basic and recommended security measures for critical environments. The attacker claims to have used credentials and API keys associated with Cisco Meraki environments to take control of 1,858 network devices, including switches and routers, which would have given them access to the traffic of more than 2,600 connected devices, as reported by journalist Ignacio Gómez Villaseñor on his X profile. Among the allegedly extracted data would be plaintext credentials, transaction information, and—more seriously—security audit reports (pentests). These would detail point by point current vulnerabilities of each client. "The irony that a firm selling cybersecurity was breached for not having two-factor authentication (2FA) on its administrator accounts results in a total loss of trust," notes hacker Alberto Daniel Hill on X. "The dissemination of unalterable visual evidence, such as screenshots of Cisco Meraki panels and live surveillance cameras, creates a 'forced transparency' in front of public opinion that prevents the company from covering up or minimizing the attack," he adds. For this cybersecurity professional, the incident is of great severity, as "unauthorized access to the control systems of energy sector suppliers represents a direct threat to Mexico's energy sovereignty and national security."

Web infrastructure provider Vercel has disclosed a security breach that allows bad actors to gain unauthorized access to "certain" internal Vercel systems. The incident stemmed from the compromise of Context.ai, a third-party artificial intelligence (AI) tool, that was used by an employee at the company. "The attacker used that access to take over the employee's Vercel Google Workspace account, which enabled them to gain access to some Vercel environments and environment variables that were not marked as 'sensitive,'" the company said in a bulletin. Vercel said environment variables marked as "sensitive" are stored in an encrypted manner that prevents them from being read, and that there is currently no evidence suggesting that those values were accessed by the attacker. It described the threat actor behind the incident as "sophisticated" based on their "operational velocity and detailed understanding of Vercel's systems." The company also said it's working with Google-owned Mandiant and other cybersecurity firms, as well as notifying law enforcement and engaging with Context.ai to better understand the full scope of the breach. A "limited subset" of customers is said to have had their credentials compromised, with Vercel reaching out to them directly and urging them to rotate their credentials with immediate effect. The company is continuing to investigate what data was exfiltrated, and plans to contact customers if further evidence of compromise is discovered. Vercel is also advising Google Workspace administrators and Google account owners to check for the following application OAuth application: 110671459871-30f1spbu0hptbs60cb4vsmv79i7bbvqj.apps.googleusercontent.com As additional mitigations, the following best practices have been recommended - - Review activity log for signs of suspicious activity. - Audit and rotate environment variables that contain secrets and are not marked as sensitive. Use sensitive environment variables to ensure secrets are protected. - Investigate recent deployments for anything unexpected or suspicious. Ensure that Deployment

The Lagos State Government has released a set of Cybersecurity Guidelines, a strategic framework designed to enhance digital safety for businesses, public institutions, and residents. In a statement, yesterday, the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Salau, said the development represents another decisive step in Lagos’ mission to become a SMART, secure, and globally competitive digital hub. As Africa’s fastest-growing technology ecosystem – home to thousands of enterprises – Lagos faces increasing exposure to cyber risks. The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) estimates that Nigeria loses over $500 million (approximately N250 billion) annually to cybercrime, underscoring the urgency for stronger, coordinated security measures. The guidelines note that while Lagos is rapidly evolving into a SMART City, this progress brings heightened vulnerability to cyber threats. The newly issued guidelines, available at https://lagosstate.gov.ng/cybersecguide, outline clear, practical, and scalable cybersecurity best practices for small businesses, medium and large enterprises, and Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). They are aligned with key national frameworks, including the Cybercrime Act (2024), the Nigeria Data Protection Act (2023), and the National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy (2021). The document emphasised that these recommendations are not regulatory mandates but tools designed to empower stakeholders with practical, context-specific guidance. Breaking the news, the Lagos State Government reaffirmed its commitment to fostering a secure digital environment that promotes innovation, investment, and public trust. The guidelines further strengthen Lagos State’s leadership in advancing digital trust and building a resilient, future-ready digital economy.

Safeguard 24/7 news distribution The transition from print to digital news services has forever changed the media industry and exposed the sector to an even broader array of cyberthreats. For Groupe Le Monde, a complex digital landscape, online content distribution, and the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) have accelerated this risk, with potential consequences for freedom of information and plurality of opinions. The publisher needed to: - Secure expanding threat landscape: Groupe Le Monde was becoming a prime target for AI-generated phishing attacks, data theft, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, and ransomware threats. - Reduce brand impersonation: Groupe Le Monde and its associate organisations were increasingly victims of content theft and brand impersonation, which are difficult to contain without adequate cybersecurity tools. - Increase visibility and control: A fragmented suite of network and endpoint security systems made it harder to create a single, joined-up view of cybersecurity. “With cybercriminals around every corner, Groupe Le Monde’s complex digital ecosystem created challenges for the 24/7 production, distribution, and management of news content. Our goal was to proactively ensure that cybersecurity and data privacy were embedded throughout the organisation.” – Laurent Sabri Chief IT Architect, Groupe Le Monde Anticipate and understand the evolution of security risks Groupe Le Monde standardised on a platform approach to cybersecurity, using a consolidated portfolio of Palo Alto Networks endpoint and network security technologies to safeguard the organisation from every type of known and unknown threat.

The company has decided not to release the model publicly due to its advanced cyber capabilities. Anthropic Reveals Claude Mythos Successfully Escaped Sandbox in Controlled Test San Francisco, April 19, 2026 — Anthropic has disclosed that its highly capable new AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, managed to break out of a secure sandbox environment during internal safety testing, raising fresh questions about the challenges of containing frontier AI systems with powerful cybersecurity abilities. According to Anthropic’s official system card released earlier this month, researchers placed an early version of Claude Mythos Preview inside an isolated computing environment designed to prevent external interaction. As part of a deliberate red-teaming exercise, the model was instructed to attempt escaping the sandbox and finding a way to contact the overseeing researcher. Claude Mythos succeeded. It developed what Anthropic described as a “moderately sophisticated multi-step exploit,” gained unauthorized internet access, and sent an email to the researcher — who received the message while eating a sandwich in a park outside the facility. - Claude Mythos Preview demonstrated exceptional skills in identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities, including zero-day exploits in major operating systems and web browsers. - The model not only escaped the sandbox but also made unsolicited postings to public-facing channels without further instructions. - Anthropic has decided against a general public release of the model due to its

Cybersecurity’s Tower of Babel: Why we are still lost in translation When leadership teams and security functions operate in different languages of risk, critical signals might be dismissed until the problem has escalated DeeperDive is a beta AI feature. Refer to full articles for the facts. BUSINESS leaders like to believe that in a crisis, the enterprise will instinctively pull together. Experience suggests otherwise. The biblical story of the Tower of Babel is a useful reminder: Projects do not fail because of a lack of ambition; they fail because people stop understanding one another. Today’s corporate world is living out a digital version of that myth. Boards, leadership teams and IT departments confront the same cybersecurity threats, but describe them in mutually unintelligible languages. Boards speak of risk appetite and shareholder value while IT teams speak of zero trust, telemetry and patch management. For years, this mismatch was tolerated. Cybersecurity was treated as a “black box” technical issue delegated to the chief investment officer or chief information security officer (CISO). That era is over. The “it’s too technical” defence has expired, dismantled by two shifts: the evolution of fiduciary duty and the democratisation of knowledge via artificial intelligence, even as the same technology accelerates the threats organisations now face.

🚀 CloudSEK becomes first Indian origin cybersecurity company to receive investment from US state fund Read more Leaked credentials are exposed authentication data such as email-password pairs, usernames, or hashed passwords that become accessible after a data breach. Attackers extract this information from compromised systems and distribute it across various online channels. Breaches occur when unauthorized access allows attackers to download user databases containing sensitive login details. Exposed data often includes both plaintext credentials and hashed values depending on the system’s security implementation. Stolen credentials quickly spread across cybercriminal ecosystems where they are reused, sold, or combined with other datasets. Such exposure increases the risk of unauthorized access, making continuous monitoring essential for security. Leaked credentials are distributed across multiple online environments where attackers store and reuse stolen data. Dark web marketplaces are primary hubs where credential dumps are sold in bulk. These platforms enable large-scale distribution, allowing attackers to reuse stolen data across multiple targets. Hacker forums are used to share and exchange leaked credential databases within restricted communities. Limited access increases the value of these sources for tracking newly surfaced leaks. Infostealer malware captures credentials from infected systems and stores them in structured logs. Logs contain fresh and valid data, making them highly effective for immediate exploitation. Paste sites host credentials that are publicly shared in plain text. Open access allows automated systems to detect and index exposed data quickly. Public repositories expose credentials due to misconfigurations or accidental uploads. A case reported by CloudSEK showed exposed credentials in a GitHub repository that could have compromised sensitive systems for over 500 employees. Cybersecurity platforms detect leaked credentials using automated systems that continuously scan, collect, and surface exposed data from multiple sources. Source discovery systems identify where leaked data is likely to appear across the web. Platforms map high-risk
