Half of enterprise staff now hold excessive privileges to critical applications, new research has claimed.
CloudEagle.ai’s latest identity governance report surveyed 1,000 CIOs and CISOs and found 60% of SaaS and AI tools sit outside IT’s oversight.
Invisible IT is expanding insider risk, driving breaches, audit failures, and compliance headaches, the report says.
Privilege creepIt found 70% of leaders listed unsanctioned AI tools as a leading data worry, while 48% admitted former staff still hold access, even months after leaving.
Privilege creep is common, yet only five percent of organizations actively enforce least privilege settings, and just fifteen percent use just in time access company wide, despite mounting proof that temporary credentials cut risk and audit scope.
“Traditional IAM [Identity and Access Management] tools can’t keep up with today’s SaaS and AI-driven environments because not all apps are managed by IT, and not everything sits behind a centralized IAM system. IGA [Identity Governance and Administration] is at a tipping point, and enterprises must shift to AI-driven access management to stay secure and compliant,” says Nidhi Jain, CEO and Founder, CloudEagle.ai.
CloudEagle.ai’s platform positions itself as an AI-centric answer, yet the report stresses that technology alone is not enough.
It recommends appointing a Chief Identity Officer to coordinate policies across business units and automate provisioning, reviews, and removals. Zero trust, context-aware controls should replace broad standing access, while behavioral analytics help flag anomalies before they become incidents.
The study also suggests continuous access reviews powered by machine learning can shrink privilege windows without slowing work.
With shadow SaaS use rising and insider-led events now dominating breach reports, the era of annual checklists appears to be over.
Analysts say boards pay closer attention as regulators fine organizations for permission sprawl that exposes customer records and intellectual property. Without time view of every identity, leaders concede they cannot meet zero trust goals or prove compliance under cyber insurance questionnaires.
You might also likeApple’s Vision Pro headset hasn’t yet proved to be the success story that Apple was hoping for, while much more lightweight smart glasses like the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarers have proven way more popular. Now, though, a fresh report has spilled the beans on how Apple hopes to follow up on the Vision Pro – and how it might eventually displace Meta’s glasses from their lofty perch.
The news comes from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who published a new report claiming that Apple is currently working on seven different head-mounted devices. That’s far more than many people previously realized and suggests that Apple has not been put off by the Vision Pro’s struggles.
Notably, Kuo believes that the first of these devices to gain any real traction will be Apple’s Ray-Ban Meta competitors. According to Kuo, they could ship 3-5 million units in 2027, the first year they go on sale. That could push total market sales of augmented reality (AR) glasses to over 10 million units a year, Kuo says, suggesting that Apple’s specs could sell like hot cakes and eat up significant market share.
Apple Vision Series and Smart Glasses Roadmap (2025–2028): Smart Glasses Set to Drive the Next Wave in Consumer ElectronicsFull story: https://t.co/41Moxlj1Ai pic.twitter.com/U2nQhBmEYgJune 29, 2025
In fact, although Apple might be a little late to the party, Kuo doesn’t seem to think its rivals will score many significant successes.
That’s because while Apple is struggling with the “AI-powered operating system and software” aspect (as we’ve seen with Siri recently), its “robust hardware development capabilities and ecosystem integration” give it a big advantage. That could mean Apple’s AR glasses prove to be a hit, despite other companies getting there first.
Seven products in development?(Image credit: Future)All in all, Kuo says Apple is working on seven different head-mounted products. Five of them have a solid release timeline, he believes, while two are still to be determined.
Three of the upcoming devices will be full-on headsets like the Vision Pro. That includes a Vision Pro with M5 chip, which should launch around the third quarter of 2025. It’s only going to come with a new chip and no other changes, which means it’ll remain a niche product, Kuo says.
There will then be a lightweight “Vision Air” headset in the third quarter of 2027 with a lower price, 40% lighter frame, and an iPhone chip on the inside. Then in the second half of 2028 we should see a second-generation Vision Pro with a new, lighter design, a Mac chip, and a lower asking price.
On the smart glasses side, we’ll see the aforementioned Ray-Ban-style specs in the second quarter of 2027. Here, you’ll get “audio playback, camera, video recording, and AI environmental sensing,” plus “voice control and gesture recognition,” but no display functionality.
(Image credit: Future / Lance Ulanoff)In the second half of 2028, Apple will launch a pair of smart glasses that add the display capabilities missing from its Ray-Ban-esque specs. Kuo also says there’s an “additional variant” of this product in development with a “later production timeline and lower visibility.”
Finally, Apple is also working on a “display accessory,” Kuo believes, but its release date is less certain. It’s apparently been paused since the fourth quarter of 2024 and is “under review for repositioning and specification refinement.”
It would feature a “tethered connection to display content from Apple devices” (like an iPhone), but Apple has put it on hold because it lacks a real competitive advantage against other products. Kuo believes it’s possible that Apple might restart production, but there’s no estimation for when that might be.
All in all, then, it looks like Apple has a wide slate of reality devices under development in its secret labs. Yet if you were hoping for a quick follow-up to the Vision Pro – or the swift arrival of a cheaper headset – you’re out of luck. With the first of these products not launching until 2027, we’ve still got some waiting to do.

The bug is described as an insufficient input validation vulnerability that leads to memory overread when the NetScaler is configured as a Gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy) OR AAA virtual server. It is tracked as CVE-2025-5777, and was given a severity score of 9.3/10 - critical.
The flaw affects Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway device versions 14.1 and before 47.46, and from 13.1 and before 59.19.

According to security researchers ReliaQuest, the vulnerability is already being abused in the wild to grant attackers initial access.
“Unlike session cookies, which are often tied to short-lived browser sessions, session tokens are typically used in broader authentication frameworks, such as API calls or persistent application sessions,” the researchers explained.
As well as publicly disclosing the vulnerability, Citrix is also offering a fix, and urging users to apply it as soon as possible.
At the same time, independent analyst Kevin Beaumont says the bug bears a resemblance to CitrixBleed, one of the most serious Citrix vulnerabilities discovered in recent years.
It was also a critical-severity flaw that was widely exploited in late 2023, when different threat actors targeted government agencies, banks, healthcare providers. Among the abusers was LockBit, one of the most dangerous ransomware operators in existence.
Due to the similarities, Beaumont dubbed the flaw “CitrixBleed 2”.
At roughly the same time, Citrix disclosed addressing two additional flaws: a high-severity access control issue, and a memory overflow vulnerability.
The former has a severity score of 8.7, and impacts versions from 14.1 and before 43.56 and from 13.1 and before 58.32. The latter, with a 9.2 severity score, is tracked as CVE-2025-6543, and leads to unintended control flow and Denial of Service in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway when configured as a Gateway.
You might also likeThe Meta Quest 3S Xbox edition is sold out at Meta’s own store, but thankfully it’s still available to buy from Meta’s third-party partners in the US and UK, Best Buy, and Argos, for exactly the same price – although we don't know for how much longer that will be the case.
As a reminder, this a limited-edition headset drop, and one that I think you’ll want to take advantage of while you can.
Why, you ask?
Well, I’ve just spent too much of my weekend playing VR games on the headset using the included Xbox wireless controller, and attempting to binge the Xbox Game Pass catalog – I say attempting because my attention has been entirely captured by Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and I can see why we gave it four stars.
Yes, you can do this with a regular Meta Quest 3S too, but because you need to acquire your own Xbox wireless controller rather than getting one with your headset the setup process has significantly more points of friction – even if you already have a controller, swapping it between your VR setup and whatever console/PC it was already connected to can be tedious, and enough of a hurdle to you put you off.
What’s more, not only is this limited-edition Meta Quest 3S a delight to use, and a delight to look at with its beautiful Xbox-ified black and green design, it’s also one of the best VR headset deals I’ve seen all year.
A great dealThat’s because each of its separate parts: the 128GB Meta Quest 3s, its Xbox wireless controller, the Elite strap, and 3-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription would collectively come to $494.85 / £464.94 if purchased separately.
By buying the bundle you’re not only getting an exclusive headset and controller design, you’re snagging a $94.86 / £84.86 saving – and that’s before you even consider the additional three months of free Meta Horizon+ which comes with all new Quest 3S purchases, which is worth $23.97 / £23.97 at $7.99 / £7.99 per month).
What’s more, unlike some bundles that are padded with unnecessary and unwanted extras, you’ll actually want to own each of the add-ons included with this headset.
Technically, this bundle is still full-price, but if you wanted to purchase each part of it individually you’d pay close to $100 more, and unlike some bundles, each component is worthwhile. The Elite strap adds extra comfort for your VR gaming sessions, while the Xbox controller and Game Pass subscription will let you play hit games on a giant virtual screen – plus the whole setup looks stunning.View Deal
This deal isn’t officially a discount, but if you were to buy every item on its own, you’d pay close to £90 more, so this is a really great deal. What’s more, each element of this bundle is worth owning, and that’s before you even begin to appreciate the gorgeous, unique black and green color scheme of the headset and its accessories, which is a draw on its own.View Deal
You might also likeWindows 11's latest patch makes some important improvements for PC gamers, including the resolution of a seriously frustrating black screen glitch, and some useful changes are provided elsewhere, too.
This is the optional update for June (known as KB5060829) and, as Windows Latest reports, it introduces the mentioned fixes for gamers, as well as speeding up the performance of a common task under Windows 11 - namely, unzipping files.
Let's look at those gaming-related solutions first, though, and the highlight here is that Microsoft has cured a problem where "unnecessary display resets" were happening to some folks.
This bug manifests as the screen going black for up to a few seconds when gaming, and also in everyday use. As one Redditor puts it: "So this might fix that issue where my screen just randomly blinks black for a split second while browsing certain websites and playing games?"
That's very much the hope, and plenty of other Windows 11 gamers chime in to say they're suffering at the hands of this bug. There are a couple of reports from users claiming the fix has indeed worked, so that's a hopeful early sign. (Also remember that these fixes are gradually being rolled out, so not everyone will get the cure immediately.)
Microsoft also lets us know that there's a further fix for a problem whereby when graphics settings are changed in a game (or some apps), any off-putting screen flashing that occurs should be reduced.
Another resolution applied in the 'graphics' category for this optional update is the fix for some displays going "unexpectedly green," which I'm guessing is a reference to green screen crashes, rather than a visual corruption, though it could be the latter, and Microsoft doesn't clarify this. Either way, that'd be an annoying problem to face, and it should be vanquished now.
As already mentioned, also noteworthy here is better performance when unzipping files that are compressed in the 7z (7-Zip) or RAR formats that are natively supported in File Explorer with Windows 11. The speed boost is most noticeable in cases where large numbers of files are compressed, and they should be extracted more swiftly- Windows Latest observes that this happens up to 15% faster.
Other nifty moves with this preview update include the taskbar automatically resizing icons to fit in more apps when it gets crowded, and interestingly, we're also getting our first glimpse of the new PC-to-PC migration experience. The latter is provided in the Windows Backup app, and it's been in testing previously, offering an easy way to switch over to a new PC.
This is just the initial rollout, mind you, and the PC-to-PC migration feature won't be fully enabled yet. To begin with, we're just getting the landing page as a "first look at what's coming," and Microsoft notes that: "Support for this feature during PC setup will arrive in a future update."
However, near term, this will be more of a key feature for Windows 10 PCs, and Microsoft will want to push it through for those devices with the operating system's end-of-support deadline looming large. (Microsoft is very keen on getting those folks to upgrade to a new Windows 11 PC, which has caused quite some controversy in recent times).
Finally, another useful touch for gamers with this patch is a fix for some apps freezing up when Alt-Tabbing out of the game running in full-screen. A note of caution here: Windows Latest explains that a couple of folks testing this patch have experienced other weirdness when Alt-Tabbing out of games - like the mouse cursor lagging - but at this point, these are just scattered reports. I wouldn't read much into them yet.
Analysis: Take a chance, or wait it out?(Image credit: Shutterstock / Dean Drobot)Of course, this is a preview update, and as such, bugs - like the potential fresh problems with Alt-Tabbing - can be expected. Microsoft is still testing this patch ahead of its release next month, and that's why it's optional.
Because of this, I usually advise Windows 11 users to ignore these patches, especially as there isn't long to wait before the full update is deployed, and any last-minute bugs will (hopefully) be ironed out. In fact, this time around, the wait is particularly short, and the full update for Windows 11 in July arrives in just over a week.
Still, if any given issue is really driving you bananas, you may want to take your chances with the optional update right now (and hope you get lucky in terms of the rollout timeframe). And judging from the feedback on Reddit, a lot of people are really suffering at the hands of the bug causing the screen to go black for a second or three. If this happens at a crucial juncture of a game, it can be seriously frustrating, of course.
Indeed, plenty of Redditors are saying that this bug has been causing them to wonder what on earth is going wrong with their PC, and to suspect a fault with the GPU driver (which, given Nvidia's current woes along those lines, is an obvious conclusion to reach). At least we now know the problem is with Windows 11, and fingers crossed that this patch (and by extension the July release) fully resolves these temporary black screen dropouts.
You might also like...The US Department of Justice has settled its lawsuit claims against HPE's $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks, which means the deal may now proceed pending court approval.
However, HPE must adhere to some pretty hefty conditions to pacify regulators, including divesting its 'Instant On' wireless networking business and auctioning a license for Juniper’s AI Ops for Mist source code, which it uses in WLAN products.
Still, HPE CEO Antonio Neri welcomed the news and confirmed the agreement resolves antitrust concerns in a joint statement by HPE and Juniper.
HPE's Juniper acquisition given the go-ahead"Our agreement with the DOJ paves the way to close HPE’s acquisition of Juniper Networks and preserves the intended benefits of this deal for our customers and shareholders," Neri said.
HPE hopes joining forces with Juniper will enable it to address "legacy incumbent networking solutions" by combining the two companies' hybrid cloud, storage, compute and software expertise.
"This marks an exciting step forward in delivering on a critical customer need – a complete portfolio of modern, secure networking solutions to connect their organizations and provide essential foundations for hybrid cloud and AI,” Juniper Networks CEO Rami Rahim added.
Department of Justice Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle called the win a "key legal victory" for the antitrust department.
The news comes almost a year after the European Commission first approved the deal – in August 2024, European antitrust regulators stated that the takeover "would not significantly reduce competition."
With HPE Intelligent Edge revenue down $852 million year-over-year to $4.5 billion, Juniper's full 2024 revenue of $5.1 billion could further strengthen HPE's position in the market.
Looking ahead, HPE has been given 180 days to divest Instant On or it risks facing further action.
You might also likeTrying to get a hold of a Fujifilm X100VI? You're not alone. This much-hyped compact fixed-lens camera is easily one of the most successful camera launches we've seen for a long time, with demand massively outstripping supply.
It's been almost one full year since release, and unsurprisingly - most retailers still have this camera on backorder.
There are a few glimmers of hope, however. After a few months of suspended orders in the US, a few retailers have now re-listed the camera for backorder. If you're willing to wait a month or two, then the good news is that you can still buy the camera at the launch price.
Even better news if you're in the UK. It's looking like the back-log of orders is finally starting to clear at the major camera retailers in this territory and a few even have the camera in stock to buy with immediate delivery.
The Fujifilm X100VI retails for $1,599 / £1,599 at all retailers right now, which we don't expect will change for a long, long time due to this camera's popularity. If you're interested in a full run-down of the camera, check out our recently published Fujifilm X100VI review for our detailed thoughts.
Where to buy the Fujifilm X100VICurrent Fujifilm X100VI retailersUS retailersFujifilm announced that X100VI orders were being temporarily paused in the US a few months ago due to the ongoing tariffs situation. It seems as of writing, however, backorders have partially returned at a few retailers. Adorama, for example, is currently listing August as the next likely date for delivery and you can place an order for the next batch right now. Interestingly, B&H Photo is listing the X100VI as discontinued right now, so it appears that the tariffs situation still hasn't completely resolved.
The Fujifilm X-E5 is a great new alternativeJust a quick PSA to those who haven't been following the latest camera news. Fujifilm has just released a new body called the X-E5, which is extremely similar to the X100VI but is instead an interchangeable lens model. It's arguably a different beast to the X100VI ,but it's worth considering since it's readily available at most retailers for a (slightly) cheaper price.
If you're interested, you can see our Fujifilm X100VI vs Fujfilm X-E5 article for more information, or my standalone where to buy the Fujfilm X-E5 page.
Be aware: X100VI scalpers are active(Image credit: Ebay)The Fujifilm X100VI has been surfacing on eBay as well as other auction sites recently for well over the launch price - up to $5,000 if you can believe. Take note, several well-known (and usually reputable) camera trading sites also have stock for marked-up prices, which is kind of a bummer to be honest. While not quite as bad as the prices on eBay, I'd definitely recommend holding off buying from one of these sites - even if you're desperate.
For example, if you happen to have $5,000 lying around to spend on a camera then there are amazing options from other brands, including some of the best compact cameras money can buy (hint: Leica Q3). We're also huge fans of Fujifilm's other cameras here at TechRadar - several of which offer specs that are just as good as the Fujifilm X100VI if you don't mind opting for something less compact.
Fujifilm X100VI: buying adviceWhat else can you do? Here's our advice1. Call around at local retailers
This is a tried-and-true tip that we've used previously to snag stock on in-demand tech like the PlayStation 5 and graphics cards in recent years. Often, local retailers have smaller wait lists for recent releases and sometimes, just sometimes, you'll even find in-stock items hiding in the backrooms. Conversely, these retailers also tend to receive less stock when products are shipped so it's often a fine line to tread when actually placing an order. It doesn't hurt to call around, however, and this tip also applies to larger stores that have local brands like Best Buy.
2. Keep an eye on Amazon
Amazon and to a lesser extent, Best Buy, tend to release stock for in-demand products on a semi-regular basis. Unlike most photo specialist stores - which are still operating on a first-come-first-serve preorder basis - these stock drops are for items that are fully in stock and ready to ship immediately. The issue is that there's usually no prior warning for these stock drops and they also tend to be available in extremely limited numbers. It's well worth adding an item to your wishlist and checking in regularly at Amazon if you're willing to wait it out, however.

3. Check out other cameras
The X100VI is undoubtedly the camera of the moment (and for good reason) but there are fantastic alternative cameras to consider if you don't want to wait. I recently wrote a piece on seven excellent alternatives to the Fujifilm X100VI that's well worth reading if you want a detailed run-down of a few other options, but I'll also summarize here.
If you want a high-performance alternative to the X100VI, you could opt for the Fujifilm X-T5. This flagship interchangeable lens body features many of the same bones as the X100VI under the hood - like the 40.2MP APS-C sensor, image stabilization, and the latest subject-tracking autofocus. The downside? It's a little pricey at $1,699 / £1,449 - and you'll obviously have to buy your desired lens separately. It also doesn't have the fancy hybrid optical viewfinder that's unique to the X100 series, so you'll arguably not get that same old-school feel. Image-wise, however, the cameras are identical, and we're big fans of the X-T5 at TechRadar (see our Fujifilm X-T5 review for more details).
For a cheaper Fuji alternative, you could consider either the Fujifilm X-E4 or Fujifilm X-T30 II - both of which are smaller-styled interchangeable lens bodies. They're last-gen models now, and subsequently only feature 26MP sensors, but they can be found for under $1,000 if you shop around on the used market and they both feature most of the brand's film simulation presets. Unfortunately, due to popularity, Fuji cameras are really, really over-priced on the second-hand market right now.
Outside of Fuji, there are compelling options in the form of the Ricoh GR III and Leica Q3. The Ricoh in particular offers fantastic tac-sharp images in a superbly pocket-friendly and affordable package. The Leica Q3 in comparison runs at an eye-watering premium but does offer the epitome of outright image quality thanks to its lavish 60MP full-frame sensor and Summilux 28mm f/1.7 lens. Another fantastic full-frame option to consider is the retro-styled Nikon Zf - a recent addition to the brand's line-up and one that's been extremely well-received. If you're interested, check out our Ricoh GR III review, our Leica Q3 review, and Nikon Zf review for more details.
When Netflix removed Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy in June, it left a void in many subscribers' (myself included) watchlists – and looking at everything leaving the platform in July 2025, that's going to get bigger still.
Among the titles being removed from one of the best streaming services are some of the biggest movies of the 2020s so far, including Denis Villeneuve's visually-striking Dune: Part Two (2024), Greta Gerwig's Barbie (2023) and one of the best prequel movies I've ever seen Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024).
Even though Netflix is adding 48 new movies over the coming weeks, it's sad to see it removing more binge-worthy watches, as it means it's having to sacrifice some of the best Netflix movies and shows. I just hope it brings some unforgettable new movies in August to make up for it.

You might also likeEven with regular training and increased awareness, 95% of phishing attacks still go unreported by healthcare staff. Some hesitate out of fear—worried they’ll be blamed if they clicked something they shouldn’t have. Others assume IT teams are too overloaded to respond. Many simply miss the signs of a phishing email amid a flood of daily messages, especially when working with outdated systems that make reporting feel like guesswork.
The result? Most phishing attempts are never reported to the security team. That’s not just an operational gap—it’s a full-blown blind spot in cybersecurity strategy.
Trust and privacyIn healthcare, where trust and privacy go hand-in-hand, this level of inaction should raise serious concern. According to industry data, 60% of healthcare organizations experienced email-related breaches last year, and three-quarters expect breaches to continue this year. Phishing remains the most commonly used entry point for attackers, and it’s only getting harder to detect. With AI-generated content making phishing emails more personalized and convincing, traditional training cues are quickly becoming outdated.
This disconnect, between training and real-world reporting, reveals a systemic problem: organizations are putting too much faith in awareness alone. Despite regular training and compliance requirements, only 5% of known phishing attacks are ever reported. So the question isn’t whether people are being trained. It’s why that training isn’t translating into behavior.
It’s easy to assume the solution is more training, more drills, more simulations. But that misses the core issue.
Security leaders need to acknowledge that fear and friction are the two biggest barriers to phishing reporting. Staff are afraid of repercussions if they report too late or incorrectly. They’re confused by convoluted reporting steps. They’re also under pressure to move fast, triage inboxes, and get on with their work.
The importance of leadershipThe fix starts with leadership. Effective email security requires more than policies and toolkits. It requires buy-in at the top, a deliberate shift in organizational culture, and modern infrastructure that makes secure behavior easier.
That means creating simple reporting options in daily systems. It means telling staff, frequently and clearly, that reporting suspicious emails is always better than staying silent, even if they’re wrong. It means creating feedback loops so people know their reports matter. Silence should never feel like the safest option.
At the same time, healthcare organizations need to take a hard look at the technology stack supporting their email infrastructure. Many healthcare organizations still rely on legacy systems built for internal communication, not today’s threats. These tools often lack proactive features like real-time threat detection, blanket encryption, or contextual tagging of suspicious content.
Training is only one part of the equation. Organizations must pair it with safeguards that reduce reliance on perfect human behavior. This includes technologies that act before staff ever interact with a threat—automatically filtering malicious messages, flagging anomalies, and identifying spoofed domains in real time. When email security works silently in the background, the burden on staff drops and the overall security posture strengthens.
What can healthcare leaders do?Modern security tools can now flag anomalies before a human ever sees them, detect spoofed sender domains in real time, and reduce the noise that overwhelms IT teams. They enable the kind of visibility security leaders need to detect patterns, measure risk, and act faster when incidents occur.
So what can healthcare leaders do right now? Start by rethinking the reporting experience from the staff’s point of view. Is it fast? Is it obvious? If not, fix it. Talk to frontline staff. Can someone report a phishing email in one click? Do they know what happens after they report it? Are they ever told the outcome? These seemingly small details determine whether or not a report happens. Understand the friction points. Streamline the process until there’s no excuse not to report.
Re-evaluate your existing systems. Is it giving you the insights and automation you need to reduce human error? If not, modernize. Don't just bolt on to an outdated system—transform your security posture by choosing a solution that anticipates threats rather than reacting to them.
Finally, reframe phishing not as a one-off training problem, but as an ongoing organizational vulnerability. Normalize the conversation. Make reporting part of the everyday vocabulary. Celebrate catches, debrief near misses, and remind everyone that security is a team sport. The goal is progress. Every report gives your security team a fighting chance to stop the next breach before it spreads.
Phishing attacks are serious, but they’re also manageable with the right people, processes, and platforms. A proactive approach grounded in smarter tech and a stronger security culture can shift this dynamic. Reporting must be rewarded. Silence must be addressed. And above all, email security needs to be the foundation of every healthcare cybersecurity strategy.
The future of email security in healthcare depends on a simple but powerful shift: treat your inbox not as a liability to be managed, but as a frontline defense to be fortified. When staff are empowered to report threats and systems are built to support them, healthcare organizations can finally close the loop on phishing.

‘Once bitten, twice shy’ the old saying goes, so when security researchers see hackers intensively scanning for MOVEit instances, it’s no wonder they’re sounding the alarm.
Threat intelligence outfit GreyNoise has reported a “notable surge” in the number of malicious scans for systems running Progress’ MOVEit Secure Managed File Transfer software.
Back in 2023, a major vulnerability was discovered in the software, which was quickly picked up by Cl0p - at the time an infamous Russian-based ransomware operation. The hackers abused the flaw to steal sensitive information on hundreds of organizations and millions of people - extorting their way to riches.

Even though the bug was squashed and most instances patched, threat actors continued scanning the wide web for potential victims. GreyNoise says that on an ordinary day, scanning was “minimal” with fewer than 10 IPs a day.
The researchers note on May 27, that number spiked to over 100 unique IPs, followed by 319 IPs on May 28.
Since then, the daily IP volume never dropped below 200, and hovered around the 300 range. That, they believe, is evidence that someone knows something and is looking for an exploit.
Over the last 90 days, more than 600 unique IP addresses were linked to this campaign, a number which has been steadily increasing. Most of them are in the United States, with notable figures coming from Germany, Japan, Singapore, Brazil, the Netherlands, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.
Managed File Transfer tools, such as MOVEit, are popular among SMBs and enterprises, as they allow for a secure and seamless way to share important and often sensitive files.
This makes the tools a popular target, and besides Progress’ solution, others have been targeted as well, including GoAnywhereMFT, IBM Aspera Faspex, and others.

You might also likeIn recent months, numerous high-profile cybersecurity incidents have dominated headlines. However, the reality is that few—if any—enterprise organizations have remained untouched by a cybersecurity breach or attempted attack in the past 24 months. As digital transformation accelerates, IT teams face increasing pressure to manage a growing attack surface and more sophisticated threat vectors—often while balancing limited resources and evolving business demands.
Governments around the world are responding with enhanced cybersecurity frameworks. In the United States, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework offers voluntary guidance to help organisations identify, manage, and reduce risk. In the United Kingdom, the Cyber Essentials scheme ensures foundational protections are in place to guard against common threats. These initiatives represent significant progress, but compliance alone is not enough—proactive security strategies are now essential.
Rethinking complexity and tool sprawlIn large enterprises, one of the more subtle challenges is tool sprawl—particularly when managing endpoints and user access across distributed environments. While third-party tools can provide valuable functionality, they often introduce complexity that can make it harder to maintain consistent security standards. Each additional solution may come with its own update cycles, security practices, and integration needs, which can create gaps or inefficiencies if not managed holistically.
Rather than relying on a patchwork of tools, many organizations are now looking to consolidate and standardize using native, integrated platforms that align with a Zero Trust approach.
Building security into the foundationAs part of this shift, Microsoft’s ecosystem is playing an increasingly central role in enterprise security strategy. Organizations are adopting Microsoft Entra ID for modern identity and access management, leveraging Conditional Access policies to tailor access based on real-time context, and implementing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) as a baseline control.
On the endpoint management side, Microsoft Intune continues to gain traction as a unified solution for managing Windows, macOS, and mobile devices. To support secure configurations at scale, the Centre for Internet Security (CIS) provides pre-defined Intune policies and standardized system images—giving organizations a strong foundation for enforcing security baselines consistently across their environments.
For enterprises looking to improve visibility and control, there is a growing emphasis on solutions that provide insight into device compliance, patch status, and system health—ensuring that teams can make informed, real-time decisions about their environments without adding unnecessary overhead.
A collaborative and unified defense approachSecurity today must be built into every layer of enterprise IT strategy. As endpoints diversify and infrastructure becomes more dynamic, the potential attack surface expands. To keep pace, IT and security teams must work in lockstep—collaborating across identity, endpoint, and infrastructure management to implement a proactive, unified defense model.
Ultimately, future-proofing enterprise security isn’t about eliminating tools—it’s about reducing unnecessary complexity, embracing platform-native capabilities, and aligning to frameworks like Zero Trust. In a threat landscape that’s constantly evolving, the most resilient organizations will be those that prioritize agility, automation, and integrated security from the ground up.

My mistake today came in thinking that there was a group linked by being scraped, so I had NICK, SHAVE, BRUSH, and PINCH together – but quickly realized I was on the wrong track.
Two of the groups had a link, with DO SOME GROOMING essential to achieving a DAPPER look. That said, some people are born dapper and probably need to do less of the grooming than most mortals.
These are the kind of people who own a pocket square and know 13 different ways to wear a cravat. And yes, I am thinking of George Clooney.

Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Monday, June 30, game #750)NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

I struggled with today’s word search, mainly due to so many of these words having one than one meaning.
A hint at the start gave me SLIDE, but the theme clue of 'Center of attraction' didn't give me any hint as to what the overall concept was. I went in search of more random words to earn me another hint and stumbled across CAROUSEL after getting non-game word 'arouse'.
That gave me an idea of what I needed to do, finally, but I couldn't work out what the last answer was. Eventually I managed to fashion it into SCRAMBLER – but without knowing what it meant.
I thought a scrambler was a type of motorcycle. Instead it’s one of those rides that has different names around the world – in the UK we cause it a twister, but Australians are going to be equally puzzled as they call it a cha cha, according to Wikipedia.

Yesterday's NYT Strands answers (Monday, June 30, game #484)Strands is the NYT's not-so-new-any-more word game, following Wordle and Connections.

Spotify’s Discover Weekly playlist was the platform’s first personalized music discovery feature, and it’s just got two brand new upgrades for Premium subscribers to celebrate its 10th anniversary – including a much-needed genre filter function.
Since 2015, Discover Weekly has been one of the music streaming service’s most-used features for new music discovery, and has been Spotify’s landmark feature, paving the way for functions such as Daylists and AI DJ.
With weekly updates that show you a range of new songs and artists, Spotify has described it as ‘the playlist that makes Mondays something to look forward to’. While Discover Weekly has never been my go-to feature, there’s no denying that it has changed the game with new music discovery on Spotify, and its new upgrade makes it even more of a personal experience.
New look, new genre filtersFor starters, Discover Weekly has got a new visual upgrade that stands out from other playlists in your Made For You hub, such as your Release Radar. In addition to the playlist’s weekly updates, its graphics will also be updated every Monday, giving you a new look each time – but this isn’t the only exciting upgrade.
Prior to rolling out in Discover Weekly, Spotify brought sub-genre filter functions to Liked Songs, Offline Backup playlist, and New Releases hub. Now Discover Weekly is getting the same treatment.
In the new upgrade, you’ll now be able to use new control functions at the top of your Discover Weekly playlist, allowing you to search through up to five different genres based on your listening history. Based on which genre you select, this will generate a 30-track playlist to bring you one step closer to your next favorite song or artist.
(Image credit: Spotify)As mentioned, Discover Weekly isn’t one of those features in Spotify that's been able to entice me – I don’t think I’ve used it since it was first launched 10 years ago.
But one of my favorite additions to Spotify is the sub-genre control function, which I use constantly in other playlists and hubs, and now that it’s found a new home in Discover Weekly, I’m going to have to do some rethinking.
How to find Discover Weekly (Image credit: Future)Before you dive into your newly upgraded Discover Weekly playlist, make sure that you have the latest version of the Spotify app installed. If you do, you’re free to dive right in.
Go to the Search hub in the Spotify app, and from there, scroll down slightly and tap your Made For You hub. Once you’re in, scroll down again until you see the section titled Discover New Music, which will show your Release Radar and Discover Weekly playlists. Tap Discover Weekly, and start your journey into new music discovery.

Last month, we saw the final season of Squid Game, one of the best Netflix shows, as well as its usual array of blockbusters. July looks no different, with 48 brand new movies, including a handful of new Netflix Originals like the long-awaited comeback of Happy Gilmore. We're excited to see the return of original cast members Adam Sandler and Julie Bowen, as well as newcomers Margaret Qualley and Ben Stiller.
Netflix is also doubling down on its Trainwreck series of documentary features following the success of Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy, which was one of my June 2025 streaming picks. Over the next few weeks Netflix is releasing an additional five new Trainwreck documentary movies and since I thoroughly enjoyed its account of the Astroworld tragedy, I can't wait to binge them all.
