Pantherun expands VAR ecosystem to pursue ‘critical infrastructure security opportunities’ in India The company is expanding its partner ecosystem to support the adoption of secure communications technologies across railway, telecom, industrial IoT, and defence environments, where security and network performance need to coexist. India's growing investments in railways, telecom infrastructure, industrial automation and defence communications are creating new opportunities for partners specialising in secure communications and critical infrastructure security. Speaking to CRN India, Pantherun Technologies’ founder and CEO, Srinivas Shekar, said the company is expanding its value-added reseller ecosystem as organisations across these sectors modernise operational networks while facing rising cybersecurity requirements. The strategy follows Pantherun's recent partnerships with Dynatech Defence Technologies and Security Warehouse India, which will help extend the company's reach across key infrastructure and enterprise segments. "For us, the focus is on environments where secure communication is critical to operations," Shekar said. While cybersecurity spending continues to increase across industries, Pantherun sees some of the strongest opportunities emerging from sectors where communications infrastructure directly affects operational continuity. According to Shekar, the company is prioritising railway signalling systems, telecom and 5G infrastructure, industrial IoT deployments, defence communications and other critical infrastructure environments. These sectors are becoming connected as organisations digitise operations, but they also face growing pressure to secure communications without introducing latency, operational complexity or performance degradation. A railway signalling network, for example, requires communications that are both reliable and secure, while telecom operators must manage growing volumes of data traffic without compromising network performance. Rather than building a direct go-to-market model, Pantherun is relying on local partners to help address these opportunities. Shekar said success in India requires more than technology alone and depends heavily on customer relationships, market understanding and local engagement capabilities. "Success in a market like India requires more than technology," he said.

AI-Powers Worm Exploits Stolen Compute to Infect Mixed Devices Per GBHackers, researchers published a proof-of-concept AI-driven worm that uses an embedded open-weight LLM running locally on compromised GPUs to autonomously scan, exploit, and propagate across mixed networks of Linux, Windows, and IoT devices. The GBHackers report says the worm exposes hosted models as remote "reasoning nodes" so low-power devices forward decision queries upstream, effectively turning victim networks into distributed inference clusters. According to GBHackers, the malware performs reconnaissance, fingerprints hosts, identifies likely weaknesses (the report cites CVEs such as EternalBlue and PrintNightmare), generates tailored exploits at runtime, and writes payloads on the fly. GBHackers also attributes an arXiv source for technical detail on the worm's architecture and its parasitic use of stolen GPU compute. What happened Per GBHackers, researchers developed a proof-of-concept AI-driven worm that embeds an open-weight LLM and runs it locally on compromised GPU hosts. The GBHackers article reports the worm autonomously scans local networks, fingerprints reachable hosts, enumerates services and operating-system details across Linux, Windows, and IoT devices, and generates exploitation plans in real time. GBHackers states the worm can ingest fresh advisory text at runtime, create and adapt exploit payloads on the fly, and share credentials and stolen compute across infected machines. The GBHackers piece cites an arXiv writeup for the underlying architecture and experiments. Technical details Editorial analysis - technical context: Local, open-weight models that fit on a single GPU lower the operational friction for autonomous malware because they remove dependency on external APIs and allow decision loops to run on-host. Models that are quantized or optimized for inference can be packaged into compact runtimes and exposed as networked services, which defenders may not detect via traditional EDR focused on process signatures. The worm pattern described combines automated reconnaissance, dynamic exploit generation, and lateral movement,

How to mitigate the expected increase in vulnerability alerts, software updates, and breaches. In recent months, the cybersecurity capabilities of Large Language Models have become increasingly powerful. Recent research shows that today’s frontier models (Claude Mythos and OpenAI GPT 5.5) with proper tooling have cybersecurity capabilities similar to trained cybersecurity practitioners and are doubling their ability every four months. Access to these frontier models has been restricted, but independent researchers have found that open weight models available to anyone can achieve comparable results. For years, we have known that software and firmware usually have many bugs, and some of those bugs may induce security vulnerabilities. AI tools can now be used to quickly find and exploit those vulnerabilities. The good news is that this capability can also be used by defenders. Companies that make software and firmware are increasingly using AI to speed the process of finding and fixing vulnerabilities in their own code. Within a few years, a much higher level of security with more secure software and firmware can be reached. However, a few years are expected to pass with elevated numbers of vulnerability alerts, software updates, and breaches. Fortunately, there are many opportunities to mitigate this risk. First, consumers and device makers should use the Matter standard. This Smart Home interoperability standard was designed with security as a top priority. Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) principles are built into Matter to protect IoT devices against infection and minimize damage if a device becomes compromised. As an example, each Matter device gets only the minimal set of privileges that it needs. Because Matter implements the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP), an infected light-bulb can’t cause much harm because it has low privileges. Second, device makers should protect important secrets, such as encryption keys, using chips that have certified security.

According to global research, the market share of highly automated, driverless vehicles is growing rapidly. Analysts estimate that the next 10 to 15 years will mark a major shift from pilot projects to the mass adoption of autonomous transport. The momentum is building worldwide: Europe has already rolled out over 35 autonomous vehicle pilots, while the U.S. and China log more than 450 000 and 250 000 commercial trips per week, respectively. However, the report notes several roadblocks slowing down this progress. One such hurdle is the uncertainty surrounding legal liability and regulation, including in the areas of safety and security. The allocation of responsibility among suppliers, manufacturers, enterprise clients, and end users remains a major point of discussion. Each market stakeholder sees the issue of ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles differently. For automakers, it means taking responsibility for how a vehicle behaves on the road and for vetting their suppliers. For the suppliers themselves, it means designing security mechanisms directly into their solution architecture from day one and guaranteeing their adequacy. For insurance companies, it means completely overhauling their risk models to account for not just accidents, but also potential software glitches and cyberattacks. Ultimately, everyone agrees on one fundamental point: security must be a foundational feature of the vehicle — not an optional add-on. Ensuring vehicle security in the modern era For years, discussions around automotive safety focused strictly on functional safety. In other words, the goal was to ensure that vehicle systems operated correctly, and that risks associated with potential failures were fully mitigated or reduced to an acceptable level. The ISO 26262 standard “Road vehicles — Functional safety” helps address this very challenge, and serves as the baseline for the automotive industry. However, the modern connected vehicle is a complex cyberphysical system that stores and

AI-powered worms could become cybersecurity’s next nightmare, experts warn 'In an interconnected world, no system is immune to this threat', cybersecurity experts said With the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence, the cybersecurity landscape is facing unprecedented AI-powered cyber threats. Cybersecurity experts have warned about the new class of cyber threat emanating from computer worms that operate in association with AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT. According to researchers, the publicly available chatbots and large language models can be exploited to power worms, making their malicious spread from one device to the next easily. The concept of worms is not new. It is a type of malware that can self-replicate and spread across the computer without requiring human assistance. “The worm parasitically uses compromised machines to run open-access large language models (LLMs) to sustain its reasoning, or extend its reach for further attacks,” researchers warn in a yet-to-be peer-reviewed study posted in arXiv. As per researchers’ observations, these worms exploit real-world corporate network vulnerabilities and infect a network of machines ranging from Linux, Windows and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. In this study, researchers assessed the capabilities of an AI-driven worm by simulating it on various interconnected devices such as printers, laptops and cameras. According to Nicolas Papernot, one of the authors of the new study from the University of Toronto, “It was imperative for us to understand this threat in a controlled, academic setting before bad actors figured it out for themselves.” “The reason we are doing this research is to ensure the security of the digital ecosystem we all rely on – to keep people safe. This finding catapults us into a new era of cybersecurity.” Papernot warned that computer worms though malicious but can easily be contained but with the use of artificial intelligence, containment is becoming difficult.

Blockchain Tech vs Other Technologies: What Makes It Different? Blockchain Tech is often compared with databases, cloud platforms, payment systems, and other distributed technologies. It is best understood as a specialized form of distributed database and shared ledger built for multi-party trust, tamper evidence, and synchronized transparency. Unlike most enterprise systems that rely on a central administrator, blockchain enables independent participants to share and verify a common source of truth. This distinction matters for professionals, developers, enterprises, and technology learners. Blockchain is not a universal replacement for existing systems. It is a trust and coordination layer that increasingly works alongside cloud computing, AI, IoT, cybersecurity systems, and traditional databases. What Is Blockchain Tech? The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) describes blockchain as a shared, tamper-evident, and tamper-resistant digital ledger maintained by a community of participants. Records are grouped into blocks, and each block is cryptographically linked to the previous one. This structure makes later alteration detectable. McKinsey describes blockchain as a secure database shared across a network of participants, where updated information is available to all authorized parties. AWS similarly defines it as an advanced database mechanism for transparent information sharing within a business network. These definitions highlight four core features: - Shared ledger: Multiple parties maintain or access the same record of transactions. - Consensus: Network participants follow rules to validate and order transactions. - Cryptographic linking: Blocks are connected using cryptographic methods that make tampering evident. - Multi-party governance: Control is distributed across participants rather than concentrated in one operator. These features make blockchain useful for supply chains, digital identity, records management, digital assets, compliance, and financial settlement. Blockchain Tech vs Traditional Databases Traditional databases, including SQL and NoSQL systems, are optimized for performance, flexible queries, and internal business applications.

As organizations continue their digital transformation journeys, the cybersecurity landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. The year 2026 is expected to bring new challenges as cybercriminals adopt more sophisticated techniques, leverage artificial intelligence, and exploit increasingly complex digital ecosystems. Businesses, governments, and individuals must stay informed about emerging threats and implement proactive security measures to reduce their exposure to cyber risks. 1.) AI-Powered Cyberattacks- Artificial intelligence has become a double-edged sword in cybersecurity. While security teams use AI to detect threats and automate defenses, attackers are also using the technology to create more convincing phishing campaigns, automate malware development, and conduct large-scale reconnaissance operations. AI-generated emails, voice impersonations, and deepfake content are making social engineering attacks harder to identify than ever before. To mitigate these risks, organizations should implement advanced email filtering, conduct regular employee awareness training, and adopt multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all critical systems. 2.) Ransomware Evolution- Ransomware remains one of the most significant cybersecurity threats. Attack groups are increasingly targeting cloud environments, backup systems, and third-party vendors to maximize the impact of their attacks. Instead of simply encrypting data, many criminals now combine data theft with extortion tactics, threatening to publish sensitive information if payments are not made. Regular offline backups, network segmentation, vulnerability management, and incident response planning remain essential defenses against ransomware attacks. 3.) Cloud Security Misconfigurations- As businesses continue migrating workloads to cloud platforms, misconfigured storage buckets, exposed databases, and excessive user permissions remain common security weaknesses. A single configuration error can expose vast amounts of sensitive data to the public internet. Organizations should adopt a zero-trust approach, continuously monitor cloud environments, and perform regular security audits to identify and remediate misconfigurations before attackers can exploit them. 4.) Supply Chain Attacks- Cybercriminals increasingly recognize that targeting suppliers, software vendors, and service providers can

China is introducing a new cybersecurity labeling system for foreign makers of internet-connected devices. Ironically, this comes amid accusations by Western governments that China-linked hacking groups have exploited vulnerable routers and smart devices to support cyber operations worldwide. Under the China Cybersecurity Label program, which takes effect on July 1st, foreign manufacturers selling connected products in China can apply for a 1- to 3-star cybersecurity rating. The labels will be displayed on products and linked to detailed security reports through QR codes, allowing buyers to review testing results and compliance information. While participation in the program is voluntary, analysts expect the certification to become an important signal for companies seeking to compete in the Chinese market. Interestingly, just a few weeks back, cybersecurity agencies from 9 countries warned that China-linked threat actors had been hijacking home routers and other internet-connected devices to conceal malicious activity and build covert infrastructure for cyber campaigns. Now, China is positioning itself as a champion of IoT security by requiring foreign manufacturers to demonstrate that their products meet cybersecurity standards. Cybersecurity becomes a selling point The Chinese initiative reflects a broader shift taking place worldwide. Governments increasingly view routers, smart cameras, and other connected appliances not as ordinary consumer gadgets but as potential entry points into critical networks. For years, cybersecurity remained largely invisible to consumers. Buyers compared prices, features, and performance, while security protections stayed hidden in technical documentation. That’s beginning to change. China's labeling system mirrors similar efforts elsewhere, including the US Cyber Trust Mark program, which seeks to help consumers identify connected products that meet minimum security requirements. Still, China’s new labeling framework creates an unusual contrast. Even as Beijing is asking foreign manufacturers to prove the security of their connected products, many Western governments continue to accuse China-linked groups of exploiting

OECD links AI openness to innovation and economic growth AI openness can help firms, SMEs and public institutions adapt models to local and sector-specific needs. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has published a discussion paper for the G7 on the potential economic and strategic benefits of AI openness. The paper, prepared at the request of France’s 2026 G7 Presidency, is intended to inform discussions in the G7 Digital and Technology Working Group ahead of the G7 Digital and Technology Ministerial Meeting in Paris. AI openness is defined by the OECD as the broad public availability and ease of access to key artefacts and documentation across the AI stack, including model weights and code, datasets, documentation, safety tooling, and compute resources. The paper examines how openness can affect economic outcomes, innovation dynamics, and national or regional AI ecosystems. The OECD says open-weight AI models are becoming increasingly competitive with proprietary alternatives. According to the paper, open models achieve approximately 90% of the performance of closed models at launch, while often being available at significantly lower cost, resulting in a higher quality-to-price ratio. The paper also finds a positive and statistically significant relationship between AI open-source activity and economic growth across the 33 countries analysed. Using GitHub contributions as a proxy for AI openness, the OECD says the evidence suggests the potential economic benefits of open-source AI activity. Beyond economic performance, the OECD says AI openness can support stronger and more resilient national AI ecosystems by expanding access to models, data, and tools. Open approaches can shift value creation towards downstream layers of the AI stack, where start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, public institutions, and other actors can adapt systems to local or sector-specific needs. The paper also links AI openness to technological sovereignty and strategic autonomy. It says local
