Companies may be measuring phishing resilience the wrong way

Pistachio's 2026 report analyzing 648 organizations finds click rates alone mislead; combining clicks, credential submission, and reporting better measures phishing resilience.

Pistachio's Phishing Behaviour Report 2026 analyzed 648 organizations and 123,692 users across 354,962 simulations between June 1, 2025 and May 31, 2026. It found click and credential-submission rates rose during the first six months of training before declining, and from the six-month peak to the 12-month stage clicks fell 27% while credential leaks dropped 41%. The report-to-click ratio increased from 1.3 at three months to 1.8 at 12 months, framing employees as an active detection channel. Departmental analysis showed Construction had the highest cumulative click rate (41.31%) and Health the lowest report rate (13.17%), supporting more targeted training.

Recorded Future Launches Impact and Metrics Dashboard

Recorded Future releases an Impact and Metrics Dashboard aggregating risk-reduction, detection, and analyst-efficiency metrics for customer leadership reporting.

The dashboard pulls data from a customer's environment, alerts, integrations, threat detections, and analyst activity into six metric areas: platform-wide security value, threat prioritization, threat detection, digital risk protection, account and credential monitoring, and Recorded Future AI and Insikt Group research usage. It is available now to all Recorded Future customers, who are advised to configure Priority Intelligence Requirements in Settings so reporting maps to their intelligence program. The vendor cites its 2025 ROI Report across nearly 300 customers reporting 351.3% annual ROI and says customers aligning alerting to PIRs identified new threats 65% faster.

6 Months on Alert: Get H1 2026 Cyber Risk Report for SOCs and MSSPs

ANY.RUN's H1 2026 report details 15 threat trends including 437% growth in fake CAPTCHA phishing and 90.7% rise in Adobe infrastructure abuse.

The report draws on interactive sandbox submissions from over 700,000 analysts and 16,000 SOC teams between January and June 2026. Attacks abusing Adobe infrastructure grew 90.7% versus H2 2025 while RMM-related attacks rose 26.5%, and custom fake CAPTCHA phishing grew 437% from Q1 to Q2 2026. ANY.RUN argues static IOCs are losing effectiveness as dead drop resolvers hide the final C2 until execution.

ENISA launched the CRA Single Reporting Platform for actively exploited vulnerabilities

ENISA launched the CRA Single Reporting Platform, making EU manufacturers report actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents through one portal.

ENISA switched on the Cyber Resilience Act's Single Reporting Platform on 11 September 2026, the same day CRA reporting obligations became binding on manufacturers. Reports require an early warning within 24 hours, a fuller notification within 72 hours, and a final report within 14 days (one month after notification for severe incidents). Filings go through an EU Login account with MFA, are routed to a coordinating CSIRT chosen by the manufacturer, and no API is available in the first release. Open-source software stewards fall under the same obligations from 11 December 2027.

The EU CRA's Real Question: What Shipped, and When Did You Know?

ActiveState argues the EU CRA's 24-hour ENISA exploit-notification duty, effective September 11, 2026, makes current SBOMs and provenance visibility a legal necessity.

An ActiveState essay warns that the EU Cyber Resilience Act's reporting obligations take effect on September 11, 2026, requiring manufacturers of products with digital elements sold into the EU to notify ENISA within 24 hours of learning a vulnerability is actively exploited, with a fuller report within 72 hours. The law's engineering requirements only apply from December 11, 2027, leaving a visibility-first runway, and Article 13 requires the SBOM to stay current unlike one-time artifacts generated under US Executive Order 14028. The author contrasts the 24-hour notification clock with an industry-average 55 days to remediate high or critical vulnerabilities and recommends automated SBOM regeneration or consuming pre-vetted, attested open source components.

VidaForge: Open Research Infrastructure for Video Pretraining Data Recipes

VidaForge releases open infrastructure and VIDAFORGE-3M (3.14M clips, 6,475 hours) linking video pretraining data recipes to downstream model performance.

VidaForge is an open research infrastructure that represents a video pretraining data recipe as an executable five-stage workflow from raw videos to training datasets. The team compares data recipes with different coverage and quality during early from-scratch pretraining of Wan 2.1 and V-JEPA 2.1, finding that broader-coverage recipes achieve the highest downstream benchmark scores while loss-based evaluation favors different recipes. They also release VIDAFORGE-3M, containing 3.14 million scene-level clips totaling 6,475 hours with fine-grained annotations and curation signals for video data-recipe research.

Credential Risk Report

Enzoic's 2026 Credential Risk Report finds 85% of professionals cite compromised credentials as a primary attack path, yet only 19% monitor continuously.

The 2026 Credential Risk Report from Enzoic examines where credential security programs fall short across detection, monitoring, and response. It argues that MFA and point-in-time password screening do not fully address credential exposure. The report advocates shifting from reactive password controls toward a continuous credential defense model with automated remediation.
