From the Trenches
As a cybersecurity practitioner, I’m seeing some red flags that warrant attention from our industry. One of the most concerning stories is Anthropic’s Glasswing initiative raising questions for US cyber operations (Nextgov). This initiative aims to use AI to find and fix critical software vulnerabilities, but it also raises concerns about the potential for unintended consequences or misuse by malicious actors.
Another story that caught my eye is CISA ordering feds to patch exploited Ivanti EPMM flaw by Sunday (BleepingComputer). This is a classic example of a vulnerability being exploited in the wild, and the fact that CISA is pushing for immediate patching is a clear indication that this is a high-priority issue. As practitioners, we need to ensure that our systems are up-to-date and patched as soon as possible.
I’d advise all organizations to take note of these stories and prioritize their patching schedules accordingly. With the rise of AI-powered vulnerability scanning tools like Glasswing, it’s essential that we’re transparent about how these tools will be used and ensure that they align with our security policies.
🔧 Patch Priority: Ivanti EPMM flaw (CVE-2026-35616) - This is a critical vulnerability that needs to be patched ASAP to prevent further exploitation.
