During the conversation, they examine the EU's proposed Space Act and how it aims to improve the region's space security, sustainability, and reliability for years to come.

When trusted sites turn.

Lauren Fievisohn⁠, Ph.D, Senior Threat Researcher from ⁠Silent Push⁠, is sharing their work on "Meet DriveSurge: A New Threat Actor Using ClickFix and Fake Update Drive-By Attacks in Thousands of Compromised Sites." Silent Push researchers have identified a newly named threat actor, DriveSurge, which has compromised thousands of legitimate websites and uses ClickFix and fake browser update lures to distribute malware at scale through a pay-per-install operation. The group leverages a traffic distribution system called zTDS to silently redirect visitors from trusted websites to malicious payloads, while employing sophisticated infrastructure, obfuscation, and fingerprinting techniques to evade detection. The report also details how DriveSurge targets both Windows and macOS users and provides defenders with eight infrastructure fingerprints to help identify and disrupt the campaign.

Who governs your AI agents?

Your team spent a decade maturing privileged access management. Then AI agents arrived and they don’t log in like humans. Now your biggest insider threat is an AI agent that lacks the access it needs, and then it goes to get it. In this episode Sundari Parekh, VP of AI Security and Cyber Risk Advisory for TrendAI™, addresses a hard truth: PAM was never fully solved, and non-human identity and agentic AI are amplifying the gap. Her fix: stop building a separate AI team, upend your identity thinking, and shift from gatekeeping AI adoption to safely enabling it.
