NIBS (credit image/Pixabay/ Ryan McGuire)A busy week across the entire cybersecurity industry. Conferences, new product announcements, and a lot of talk about AI plus data breaches are coming fast and furious. There were also several new zero-day patches to be applied, with many already being exploited. One interesting announcement was Cloudflare delivering a new anti-AI bot scraping solution to force bots into a maze where they will eventually give up.

In other news, TurinTech has released Artemis, calling it the “world’s first evolutionary AI platform.” It was announced at NVIDIA GTC 2025, along with the news that the company had raised $20 million in a Series A funding round led by IQ Capital and Oxford Capital.

At WSO2Con in Barcelona, the company made several new product announcements. Among those was the release of Bijira to replace and expand on Choreo for API Management. It is an AI API management SaaS platform that is AI-native and scalable, supporting any API gateway developers want to use. It has a new user experience (UX) focused on API management, is simpler to use and supports multiple APIs.

WSO2 also announced that it has made AI a first-class concept across its entire software stack. It says this will “enable enterprises to easily create, integrate, manage and secure intelligent digital products and services.” The company is doing this because it sees AI proof-of-concept projects continually fail to reach production due to problems with customer’s software platforms.

Cloudflare has launched what it is calling “the industry’s first quantum-safe Zero Trust platform. It allows organisations to securely route all web-based communications to take advantage of end-to-end quantum-safe connectivity. This will be extended to support all IP protocols by mid-2025 with the release of WARP-client-to-tunnel network configurations.

Pulseway released version 9.14 of its RMM platform. The release contains some significant updates, especially for its Apple Mobile device Management platform (MDM). Apple MDM now supports App Store app management software update configurations and the ability to erase or lock devices remotely.

Europol

The European Union – Serious and Organised Crime Threat Assessment (EU-SOCTA) offers one of the most thorough analyses conducted on the threats posed by serious organised crime to the EU’s internal security. It is based on intelligence from EU Member States and international law enforcement partners. The report analyses the state of organised crime today and anticipates threats of tomorrow

It looks closely at how digital infrastructure and AI are major facilitators of crime and drive criminal operations. It also lists the most common attacks it sees with cyber-attacks as closely aligned with state actors as they are with criminal gangs. Online fraud is also a fast-growing area that is increasingly driven by AI-powered social engineering.

Logicalis

Logicalis, has released its annual CIO Report. It reveals that 95% of organisations are actively investing in technology to create new revenue streams within the next 12 months. It also revealed that the CIO role is no longer focused on enablement but on shaping business strategy and driving value, with nearly all CIOs regularly reporting to the board on ROI.

National Cyber Security Centre

The UK’s cyber security agency has issued new guidance on the threats posed by quantum computing. The guidance, published by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)—part of GCHQ—emphasises the importance of post-quantum cryptography (PQC), a new type of encryption designed to safeguard sensitive information from the future risks posed by quantum computers.

NOYB

noyb has filed a complaint with the Norwegian Datatilsynet after ChatGPT accused a Norwegian man of being a child murderer. While the company has made some changes to its software, this is not the first time it has made defamatory outputs about users. noyb has accused OpenAI of violating the principle of data accuracy under Article 5(1)(d) GDPR.

noyb is asking the Datatilsynet to order OpenAI to delete the defamatory output and fine-tune its model to eliminate inaccurate results. Finally, noyb suggests the data protection authority should impose an administrative fine to prevent similar violations in the future.
