From the Trenches
As a cybersecurity practitioner, I’ve been keeping an eye on the latest developments in the field, and there are two stories that caught my attention today.
Firstly, Anthropic’s Glasswing initiative raises serious questions about US cyber operations. The fact that this AI-powered tool can identify vulnerabilities in software and suggest fixes is both impressive and unsettling. If we’re relying on AI to patch our systems, how do we ensure that the AI itself isn’t being manipulated or used against us? This is a classic problem of “garbage in, garbage out,” and it’s essential that we address this concern ASAP.
Secondly, CISA has ordered feds to patch exploited Ivanti EPMM flaw by Sunday. This is a clear example of how quickly vulnerabilities can spread and be exploited. The fact that Ivanti EPMM was already known to have a critical flaw is a wake-up call for all organizations that use this product. It’s essential that we take this patching order seriously and apply it as soon as possible to prevent further exploitation.
🔧 Patch Priority: Fortinet EMS due to CVE-2026-35616 and CVE-2026-21643, which were actively exploited by attackers.
