Certificate Transparency Monitoring is now generally available
Cloudflare's Certificate Transparency Monitoring is now generally available, and it no longer alerts on certificates Cloudflare issued for your own domains.
Cloudflare announced general availability of its Certificate Transparency Monitoring service. The key behavioral change is that alerts are no longer generated for certificates that Cloudflare itself issued for a customer's domains, so any alert received now indicates a certificate issued by another certificate authority. Defenders can use the service to detect mis-issued or unauthorized TLS certificates for their domains.
Entrust turns cryptographic inventory data into security action
Entrust adds CBOM import/export, Ansible automation, and post-quantum readiness features to its Cryptographic Security Platform.
Entrust announced new capabilities for its Cryptographic Security Platform, including CBOM import/export to build cryptographic inventories, correlate assets and dependencies, and prioritize remediation of noncompliant or vulnerable crypto. New Ansible-based automation extends certificate lifecycle management across public and private PKI, while composite algorithm and SPIRE-based capabilities support phased post-quantum migration and trusted identities for AI agents. The platform is now deployable as-a-service or on-premises, aligning with DORA, NIS2, and recent U.S. post-quantum requirements.
Android 17 adds new protections against sneaky Wi-Fi tracking and web snooping
Android 17 adds Encrypted Client Hello, Local Network Protection, default Certificate Transparency and operator-controlled 2G disabling to counter Wi-Fi tracking and snooping.
Google announced network security changes in Android 17, led by broad support for Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), which encrypts domain names visible to network operators and eavesdroppers, paired with GREASE decoys where server support is uneven. Jigsaw testing across the top 10,000 domains and 740 ISPs in 202 countries found connection success and interference levels comparable to ordinary TLS. Android 17 also adds Local Network Protection requiring app permission to scan local devices, Certificate Transparency on by default to catch forged certificates, and operator-side 2G disabling to cut exposure to SMS blaster fake base stations. Apps targeting Android 17 get ECH by default via networking libraries such as OkHttp, WebView and HttpEngine.

It cites machine identities outnumbering humans 10:1 plus effective-permissions sprawl as core drivers, with JIT elevation as the fix. Notable consolidation includes Tenable acquiring Ermetic and Zscaler acquiring Canonic.
Scytale expands vendor risk management with AI-powered TPRM tools
Scytale launched AI-powered third-party risk management in its Vendors module, automating vendor discovery, risk scoring, and continuous vendor posture monitoring.
Scytale added AI-driven TPRM capabilities to its Vendors module, combining automatic vendor discovery from SSO providers and integrations with AI enrichment and dynamic risk scoring. The platform now continuously monitors vendors for breaches, data exposures, and vulnerabilities via third-party intelligence APIs, with proactive email notifications and auto-generated audit-ready security reports. It integrates with cross-framework control mapping for SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX ITGC. Scytale cites Verizon's 2026 DBIR, which found 48% of breaches involved a third party, up 60% year over year.
Metasploit Wrap Up: This One Goes to Sixteen!
Metasploit adds 16 modules including 10 exploits, five covering CISA KEV vulnerabilities in Cisco, SonicWall, PaperCut, JetBrains and Langflow.
Rapid7's weekly Metasploit update ships 16 new modules, 10 of them exploit modules, with five targeting CISA KEV entries. New exploits cover Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center auth bypass (CVE-2026-20079), a SonicWall SMA1000 SSRF-to-root RCE chain (CVE-2026-83548/CVE-2026-83549), JetBrains TeamCity deserialization RCE (CVE-2026-63077), PaperCut NG/MF chain (CVE-2026-81578/CVE-2026-82078), and Langflow authenticated RCE (CVE-2026-19295). The SonicWall and PaperCut chains were reported as actively exploited zero-days, and a new ESC8 relay module exploits CVE-2026-20929 against AD CS Web Enrollment.
Recorded Future Announces Automated Signature Creation, Accelerating Vulnerability Prioritization
Recorded Future launched Automated Signature Creation in ASI, turning new CVEs into deployable detection signatures in as little as 31 minutes.
Recorded Future announced Automated Signature Creation within its Attack Surface Intelligence product, autonomously generating production-ready detection signatures for newly surfaced vulnerabilities in as little as 31 minutes. The platform correlates an organization's internet-facing assets, live threat activity (malware, ransomware, actor intent), and vulnerability intelligence to prioritize which CVEs warrant detection. The company reports a tenfold increase in in-platform signatures and maps the capability to the four prioritization criteria in CISA's June 2026 directive on risk-based vulnerability mitigation.
OpenSSL 4.1.0 Alpha1 Released With DTLS 1.3 and Faster Post-Quantum Cryptography
OpenSSL 4.1.0 Alpha1 adds DTLS 1.3 support, ML-DSA and ML-KEM post-quantum optimizations, and GREASE TLS compatibility, intended for testing only.
The alpha preview of OpenSSL 4.1.0 implements RFC 9147 DTLS 1.3 for UDP-based applications and integrates DTLS into the SSL listener API. It accelerates ML-DSA signatures and ML-KEM encapsulation with AVX-512 and VAES optimizations on x86_64, and adds GREASE (RFC 8701), IKEv2 KDF support, and Elbrus2000 (e2k) targets. The release is intended for testing and development, not production, and removes Windows-on-Itanium and Windows CE build targets.
Akeyless adds real-time enforcement for AI agents in production
Akeyless launches Agentic Runtime Authority, enforcing real-time intent-based access control on AI agent actions, with integrations for Claude Enterprise, OpenAI Codex and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
Akeyless announced general availability of Agentic Runtime Authority, a real-time identity control layer that evaluates AI agent actions and blocks policy-violating actions before execution, layered on top of its SecretlessAI credential brokering. New integrations cover Claude Enterprise, OpenAI Codex and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, alongside an Agentic Access Dashboard with session kill switches and event forwarding to Splunk, Datadog and Microsoft Sentinel. The vendor's platform already secures over 220 billion machine identity interactions for Fortune 500 organizations.
Product showcase: Doppler secures secrets for humans, pipelines, and AI agents
Doppler's secrets management platform centralizes credentials for engineers, CI/CD pipelines, MCP servers, and AI agents with runtime injection and dynamic secrets.
Doppler stores API keys, database URLs, tokens, and certificates in a single control plane and injects them at runtime, replacing .env files for human and machine identities including AI agents. It supports OIDC with short-lived identity tokens for Azure, AWS, and GCP, dynamic secrets scoped and time-boxed to single sessions, SCIM provisioning, 50+ integrations, and an MCP server that lets agents request configurations natively. Permissions are enforced at each layer so raw secrets stay out of logs, prompts, and model context, with versioning, rollback, SIEM log forwarding, and cloud or on-prem deployment.
New TCG guidance gives buyers a way to test PQC-ready TPM claims
Trusted Computing Group published PTP 1.07-based requirements defining PQC-ready and PQC-upgradable TPM designations to guide buyers assessing quantum-safe hardware.
The Trusted Computing Group published requirements establishing PTP 1.07, based on TPM 2.0 Library Specification Version 1.85, as the baseline for a 'TCG PQC-ready TPM', and defined a second designation, 'TCG PQC-upgradable TPM', for chips that can be upgraded to that support. The guidance lets buyers request vendor evidence that TPMs meet end-to-end post-quantum requirements for identities, attestation, and hardware-anchored trust rather than single-algorithm compliance. TCG also announced plans to extend its certification programs to certify TPMs meeting PTP 1.07, noting that 90% of businesses still lack a formal PQC roadmap.
