The US budget director is reportedly open to re-staffing CISA — after significant cuts reshaped the agency. Worth noting: the question isn't just headcount, but which missions get prioritized and which institutional knowledge was lost in the gap. Rebuilding capacity takes longer than dismantling it. #infosec #CISA #cyberpolicy

US tech policy on AI keeps shifting — export controls tightened, then loosened, now reshuffled again. For security teams, the real challenge isn't picking a side: it's building strategies that survive policy U-turns. Vendor dependencies on regulatory stability are a risk surface that rarely shows up in threat models. #infosec #AI #CyberPolicy

Tech industry grapples with Trump’s AI about-faces

Silicon Valley billionaires backed Trump due to fears that Democrats would overregulate AI. Now the White House is restricting the release of new AI models — and tech lobbyists are cautiously searching for answers.

A 2020 lawsuit just unsealed alleges IBM and AT&T concealed foreign cyber breaches to stay eligible for federal contracts. If accurate, that's not a technical failure — it's a systemic incentive problem: when disclosure costs more than silence, silence wins. The real question is what oversight mechanisms are supposed to catch exactly this. #infosec #breach #cyberpolicy

Twelve people are dead. Four men from Lynn, Massachusetts are now looking at a combined 57-plus years in federal prison. And the pills that caused all of it were sold as Oxycodone, Adderall, and Xanax.

The final sentencing in this darknet counterfeit pill case closed out a conspiracy that ran from May 2022 to June 2025 — three years of manufacturing and distributing fentanyl-laced pills via darknet marketplaces and, notably, the U.S. Postal Service. Court documents link the operation to at least 9,000 sales and at least 12 fatal overdoses...

U.S. Officials Consider Three-Day Patch Rule in Wake of Anthropic’s Mythos

U.S. security officials are weighing whether to reduce the time federal agencies get to fix critical vulnerabilities from two weeks to three days in the wake of Anthropic's introduction of its Mythos frontier AI model, Reuters says. Security pros say it's a good idea, but likely would be hard to implement.

Les nouvelles règles cyber de l'UE poussent les entreprises à recentrer leur stratégie sur des équipes humaines plutôt que sur le seul battage autour de l'IA. C'est un signal intéressant : la réglementation comme levier pour remettre l'humain au cœur de la défense. La conformité qui fait bouger les lignes, ça mérite qu'on s'y attarde. 🔍 #infosec #NIS2 #CyberPolicy

EU’s new cyber rules are forcing a shift from AI hype to human-led defense

At CYBERSEC 2026 in Taiwan, cybersecurity vendors are moving beyond single-product performance and focusing instead on operational resilience — helping enterprises maintain business continuity when attacks occur. The shift is driving demand for managed detection and response (MDR), supply-chain verification, and lifecycle security compliance as companies confront increasingly complex threats and tightening regulations such as the EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
