Microsoft to stop adding new features to Office apps for Windows 10 users

Microsoft building

As we are being reminded on a near daily basis, Microsoft is ending support for Windows 10 in mid-October. The company has made it clear that the end of support means the end of security updates, but this does not mean that all Windows 10 users will take notice and jump to Windows 11.

However much Microsoft might wish otherwise, Windows 10 will remain in popular usage for some years to come – so the company is tightening the thumbscrews. A quiet announcement reveals that anyone sticking with Windows 10 will no longer receive feature updates for their Microsoft 365 (Office) apps.

How AI is changing the way organizations nurture talent [Q&A]

Why now is time to build sustainable accessibility into organizational culture

Accessibility is increasingly recognized as an important part of how organizations deliver value  across a number of industries, and rightly so. It goes beyond meeting legal requirements to improve user experience, promote inclusion, and build better services for all. Yet, despite the growing awareness, some organizations still see integrating accessibility into its processes as an isolated effort or something to be 'checked off' near the end of a project, prompted by upcoming regulation, user complaints, or reputational risk.

This reactive approach may satisfy compliance needs in the short-term, but it does little to build lasting, meaningful inclusion. Meaningful progress happens when accessibility is embedded into an organization’s everyday mindset and operations. In short, accessibility must become a fundamental element, not an afterthought. Adding accessibility to everyday practices instead of reserving it for emergencies allows companies to develop better products, rely on stronger teams, and be more resilient.

Almost half of enterprise apps don't handle credentials securely

A new report from Orchid Security shows nearly half of enterprise applications violate basic credential-handling guidance, with 44 percent undermining centralized identity provider (IdP) policies and 40 percent falling short of widely accepted identity-control standards.

Orchid analyzed authentication flows and authorization practices embedded deep within enterprise applications and finds clear-text credentials in nearly half. These are normally associated with alternative access flows, often for non-human accounts, but they also present an easy target for threat actors seeking entry or lateral movement.
