Three separate Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies are imposing different cybersecurity rules on the same companies, forcing some operators to navigate conflicting definitions, timelines, and reporting requirements. A Congressional Research Service (CRS) report released in June examines how this fragmentation is straining industry compliance efforts and what Congress might do to fix it.

R.I. – Aug. 26, 2026 – The University of Rhode Island’s Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity Center has landed two major National Science Foundation awards, totaling $4.8 million, that will fund scholarships for students enrolled in the University’s Professional Science Master’s in Cybersecurity program, including its new Securing Artificial Intelligence track. This new funding will help…

Security teams have never had more monitoring in place, and they have rarely been more sure of themselves. In its 2026 AI & Cybersecurity Trends Report, Arctic Wolf, a managed detection and response (MDR) provider, found 96% of security leaders confident their team could keep pace with modern threats. Yet close to 70% of those…

Va. – The National Governors Association (NGA) this week hosted its 2026 Governors’ Cybersecurity Advisors Annual Institute. Governors’ advisors from more than 40 states and territories met with federal officials and private sector experts. Participants worked through the policy questions defining state cybersecurity today, including the use of artificial intelligence, and discussed ongoing states’ focus…

Boston Scientific has told the US Securities and Exchange Commission that a cybersecurity incident detected on 25 August has caused “a global disruption to the Company’s operations”, including its ability to process and ship customer orders.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most transformative technologies in the digital world. From healthcare and finance to education and cybersecurity, AI is rapidly changing the way organizations operate and solve complex problems.

Tech startups are often built around speed. Small teams can develop products quickly, test new ideas, and respond to changing customer needs without the layers of process found at larger organisations. That flexibility can be a major advantage, but it can also create cybersecurity challenges when security is treated as something to address later.

It’s been around three decades since governments first began testing their offensive cyber capabilities. But to date, there has been no attempt by nation states to create a Geneva Convention that would establish globally recognised rules of cyber warfare.

Millions of service members and veterans rely on a single federal electronic health record system to receive care, but a recent Government Accountability Office report found that the federal agencies managing this critical infrastructure are not fully following leading practices for interagency collaboration to protect the system as cyberattacks increase across the health care sector.

For years, technology experts have debated whether artificial intelligence (AI) will replace human workers and transform the job market. While much of the discussion has focused on the possibility of AI taking over traditional roles, a recent study suggests that the relationship between AI and employment may be more complex—particularly in the cybersecurity sector.
