From the Trenches
As a cybersecurity practitioner, I’m seeing a concerning trend emerge this year - 17 US cyber incidents already. The latest one being Coca-Cola’s unit, which has made it to that list. It’s not just a matter of big companies; small businesses and individuals are also on the receiving end of these attacks.
The Gold Eagle vulnerability management plan is another story that caught my attention. Industry reactions suggest that this vulnerability management plan was flawed from the start, which raises serious questions about how companies approach patching vulnerabilities in their systems. It’s a stark reminder that even well-intentioned plans can go awry if not executed properly.
In terms of testing methods, human-led, AI-assisted testing is becoming increasingly popular. While it may seem like AI will replace penetration testers soon, I believe there’s still a place for human testers in the mix. AI can certainly help with speed and scale, but humans bring a level of nuance and creativity that’s hard to replicate.
🔧 Patch Priority: CISA has mandated urgent patching for the exploited SharePoint remote code execution flaw (CVE-2026-58644), which is a clear indication that this vulnerability should be high on every organization’s priority list.
