Nearly 40 percent of organizations have experienced security or compliance incidents directly linked to governance gaps introduced during cloud migration according to a new report.

The study from Pathlock, based on responses from 620 enterprise IT, compliance, and security leaders, finds that in spite of the regulatory pressures many organizations face, with respondents operating under major regulations like SOX, GDPR, and others, governance is often treated as an afterthought.

Google is taking the fight to AI rival ChatGPT with the launch of Gemini 3, the search giant's new flagship AI model built to handle complex reasoning, interpret multiple types of media and power new agent features across Search, the Gemini app, developer tools and enterprise platforms.

In a note announcing the new model, Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said, “Nearly two years ago we kicked off the Gemini era, one of our biggest scientific and product endeavors ever undertaken as a company. Since then, it’s been incredible to see how much people love it.”

Vibe coding has surged in popularity in the last year. Tools like Lovable, Replit, and v0 are giving anyone the ability to generate apps without writing a single line of code. The experience is fast, intuitive, and surprisingly powerful, fueling a wave of innovation across both consumer and enterprise settings.

But as companies rush to adopt these tools, a new challenge has emerged. Employees are beginning to build their own AI-powered applications using whatever platforms they can find, often connecting them to live business data. It is a trend some experts are calling the rise of “shadow AI,” where software is created outside of established security and governance frameworks.

Microsoft’s Ignite developer conference is underway, and the company has used this as a platform to announce new recovery options for Windows 11. This is something which is being pushed not as an evolution of recovery, but a reinvention.

Having already released Quick Machine Recovery a few months ago, Microsoft is now switching focus. With Intune remote recovery via WinRE, the company enables admins to not only see the Intune console when a managed PC has entered recovery, but also perform recovery actions.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping healthcare systems across the globe. But to see where it stands today, and where it could be in the coming years, we need to better understand how AI can accelerate patient discharges, improve cancer detection, and support overstretched staff, while also addressing the barriers that have slowed adoption.

AI won’t replace doctors, but it can save healthcare. To find out how we spoke to prominent CIO with decades of healthcare experience, Richard Corbridge. Richard was previously the Chief Information Officer for the Health Service Executive in Ireland and was instrumental in the reform of the Irish healthcare technology system.

Windows 11 power users will be pleased to learn that Microsoft is planning to bring the Sysmon (System Monitor) tool to Windows as a native utility. Usually part of the Sysinternals suite of utilities, Sysmon will be integrated into not only Windows 11, but also Windows Server 2025 starting next year.

The announcement was made not by Microsoft, but by Sysinternals creator Mark Russinovich. He says that by integrating the Sysmon utility into Windows, administrators will simplify deployment and bring additional functionality.

Anyone creating projects on a Raspberry Pi can now link their devices directly to ChatGPT via a new tool from noBGP called pi GPT. The integration lets users vibe code, build and manage software on their own devices without relying on cloud services.

Instead of preparing network settings, handling ports, or moving between multiple consoles, pi GPT users can work inside ChatGPT and direct tasks to a Raspberry Pi on a desk or in a workshop. The platform connects Pi devices through noBGP’s deterministic networking system, which delivers consistent routing, private links, and predictable behavior across different environments.

Kingston has introduced a new Dual Portable SSD with both USB Type A and USB Type C connectors in one unit. The aim is to provide users with cable free solution to file transfers and backup across different devices.

The Dual Portable SSD resembles a long flash drive -- it's 71.85mm in length and just over 21mm wide -- with a compact metal and plastic casing. It plugs directly into either connector type, removing the need for adapters.

Most high-value digital assets, including source code, financial reports, strategic roadmaps, patents and proprietary research, don’t contain traditional sensitive data identifiers. As a result, they’re invisible to legacy pattern-matching tools.

This blind spot exposes organizations to intellectual property theft, insider threats, and accidental leaks through modern collaboration platforms and shadow AI tools. This is why Nightfall is today announcing the launch of AI File Classifier Detectors, a solution that uses large language models (LLMs) to classify and protect business-critical documents that traditional DLP tools can‘t see.

A new study from WanAware shows a widening disconnect between how prepared organizations believe they are for cybersecurity incidents and how they actually perform under real-world conditions.

The survey of 600 leaders across industries finds 80 percent of cybersecurity and IT decision-makers claim they can detect and contain a cyber incident in under eight hours. However, external benchmarks, including IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach 2025 report, show attackers dwell inside environments undetected for an average of 181 days and breaches take 60 days to contain.

As we approach Black Friday and the annual frenzy of online shopping a new report uncovers widespread vulnerabilities in major retail platforms as agentic commerce takes hold.

The research from fraud prevention specialist Data Dome shows that threat actors are exploiting the same automation paths used by consumers to automate browsing, comparison and checkout in order to scale account fraud with an army of fake shoppers.

FiiO is adding three new products to its entry level audio line -- the Jade Audio JT7 and JT3 headphones and the BR15 desktop Bluetooth receiver, giving listeners a way to explore hi fi sound without blowing the budget.

The JT7 (pictured above) is an open back planar magnetic model developed in house by FiiO. It uses a 95 by 86 mm planar driver supported by a push pull magnetic layout. The structure places high density magnets on both sides of the diaphragm for a more even drive.

Opera has added a new way for users to enjoy music inside its desktop browser, introducing a theme that reacts to whatever's playing through the built in Music Player. The feature was made in conjunction with Spotify and turns the browser’s Start page into an animated display that moves in sync with streaming audio.

The Sonic Theme is available in Opera One and uses shader based effects to create a pattern that moves with the playing track. The theme is intended to resemble sound waves passing through a thin layer of sand. When music starts, the animation breaks into small particles that move across the screen in real time.

IObit released Advanced SystemCare 19 back in October, and it's now launching Advanced SystemCare Ultimate 18. The version numbers may look out of order, but that's because the two products are actually quite different. While Advanced SystemCare 19 focuses on cleanup and performance, Advanced SystemCare Ultimate 18 includes full antivirus protection.

The biggest addition to the new software is Safe Folder, a feature that allows users to place sensitive files behind a protective barrier. This folder blocks unauthorized access, which includes potential ransomware attempts. The antivirus database has also been expanded and targets a broader mix of malware to reduce the number of threats that reach a system.
