The White House’s new artificial intelligence executive order is focused heavily on national security, frontier model testing and AI-powered cyber defense. For businesses, however, its broader message is difficult to ignore: AI systems should be tested, monitored and governed before they become deeply embedded in critical operations. The order directs federal agencies to develop classified benchmarks for evaluating the cyber capabilities of advanced AI models. It also propose

A newly disclosed Windows zero-day dubbed RoguePlanet abuses Microsoft Defender’s own quarantine process to give an ordinary user the highest level of control over a Windows 11 machine. Cyderes researchers said they reproduced the local privilege escalation exploit on a fully patched Windows 11 Pro system. The attack requires no administrator rights, kernel vulnerability or memory corruption. Instead, it chains together legitimate Windows features, including Defender scans, N

Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5, a new artificial intelligence model that brings much of its restricted Mythos technology to the public while attempting to block its most dangerous capabilities. Fable 5 generally allows users to access Mythos-class reasoning for complex tasks. When Anthropic’s systems detect requests involving high-risk areas, such as biological weapons or software exploitation, the query will instead be handled by the older Claude Opus 4.8 model. “We w

Vectra AI is expanding the cloud network observability capabilities of its cybersecurity platform, giving security teams a unified view of activity across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The update is designed to help organizations detect attacks that move between cloud networks, user identities, software services and on-premises systems. These cross-platform attacks can be difficult to investigate because security

ServiceNow has disclosed a security incident involving a vulnerability that allowed unauthenticated users to access information inside some customer instances. The enterprise software provider said it detected anomalous activity connected to the flaw and found evidence that attackers successfully queried instance tables belonging to a subset of customers. ServiceNow privately notified the affected organizations and deployed a security update to hosted environments on June 5,

The White House's latest executive order on artificial intelligence is designed to accelerate federal AI adoption and strengthen America's leadership in the technology race. But as agencies move to integrate AI across government operations, cybersecurity experts warn that a deeper challenge is emerging beneath the policy discussions: critical infrastructure operators may not be equipped to defend against the rapidly evolving threats that AI is helping create. The June 2 execu
