<content:encoded><![CDATA[Big news from Comic-Con 2026:

"Coyote vs. ACME" debuted its long-awaited final trailer. CNET calls it "an animation-meets-live-action story," with the Coyote catapulting into theaters this August 28. (The film began development back in 2018, but was shelved for a tax write-off in 2023 by Warner Bros. until a backlash led to its sale to Ketchup Entertainment.) "Fed up with Acme's unreliable products, Wile E. Coyote decides to hire a lawyer and sue the company..." writes CNET. "The movie also features Lana Condor along with a host of Looney Tunes characters like Porky Pig, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn and Granny (who gets dinged by an anvil)."
In other movie news, CNET says Johnny Depp also "made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con, donning a costume as Ebenezer Scrooge" to promote his November 13 movie about the miser from Charles Dickens' famous Christmas novella. (Ian McKellen and Daisy Ridley are also in the movie.)


But several geek favorites are being filmed as TV series...

 There's big news for William Gibson fans, reports Entertainment Weekly. "Two years after Apple TV announced production on the first-ever series adaptation of William Gibson's seminal 1984 novel Neuromancer, the lucky few hundred who attended the studio's Hall H panel at Comic-Con 2026 got to watch the first teaser. 

For Amazon's Prime Video, the Tolkien-derived "Rings of Power" series released a season 3 trailer that CNET said "successfully hides the best parts with fire... The trailer suggests that Sauron is building an army, and all of Middle-earth is trying to find ways to stop him... Rings of Power season 3 will start dropping weekly episodes on Nov. 11, meaning this show will be airing at the same time the Peter Jackson films will be celebrating their 25th anniversary."
Later in November Amazon's Prime Video will also debut Blade Runner 2099, an eight-episode series that's a sequel to 2017's film Blade Runner 2049, reports CNET. "Set in an alternate version of LA where replicants run things and the humans play second fiddle, the series sees Yeoh's replicant Olwen chasing down outlaw replicants who've gone missing. With her own shelf life on a ticking clock, the stakes are high for her and for her human fugitive partner, Cora..."
Paramount Plus will debut Avatar: Seven Havens in October, a new animated series from the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender which CNET says "follows a pair of twin avatars, one of whom is Korra's successor."

Disney+ has season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Kevin Feige said Marvel's television slate will include more seasons of "X-Men '97" and the upcoming "VisionQuest" TV series.
HBO Max will launch a new Green Lantern series called Lanterns on August 16.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Marvel Studios is bringing Avengers: Endgame back to theaters on September 25, 2026, with an exclusive look at the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.



The re-release gives Marvel fans another opportunity to watch the 2019 blockbuster in theaters. The film follows the surviving Avengers as they attempt to reverse Thanos’ devastating snap and restore half of all life across the universe.



The new theatrical run also serves as part of Marvel’s preparation for its next major crossover event. Viewers who attend the re-release will receive an early look at Avengers: Doomsday, although the exact length and format of the preview have not been announced.



Exclusive Avengers: Doomsday Footage Expected







Avengers: Doomsday will bring several major Marvel heroes together and introduce Robert Downey Jr. as Victor von Doom. The movie will also feature characters connected to the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men and other parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.



Recent footage has highlighted Doctor Doom’s role in the story and his connections with the Fantastic Four. However, Marvel has kept several important plot details private ahead of the theatrical release.



The Russo brothers, who directed Avengers: Endgame, are also directing the new movie. Their return has raised expectations for another large-scale Marvel story involving several teams and universes.



Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 18, 2026. The Endgame re-release gives audiences nearly three months to revisit the earlier Avengers finale before Marvel begins its next major chapter.]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ein Führungsstil beschreibt die Grundhaltung einer <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Führungskraft</a> sowie ihr Verhalten gegenüber Mitarbeitern. Es gibt verschiedene Theorien und Modelle mit unterschiedlichen <a href="https://cio.de/article/3687651/wie-ein-moderner-fuehrungsstil-aussieht.html" target="_blank">Führungsstilen</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Welche Führungsstile gibt es?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eine bekannte Einteilung hat der Sozialpsychologe Kurt Lewin vorgenommen. Lewin emigrierte 1933 aus Deutschland und forschte in den USA. In dieser Zeit entstand die Unterscheidung und Abstufung zwischen den Führungsstilen autoritär, laissez-faire und kooperativ:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Beim <strong>autoritären Führungsstil</strong> gibt die Führungsperson ihren Mitarbeitern Anweisungen, was zu tun ist. <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mitarbeiter</a> haben diese Anweisungen zu akzeptieren und auszuführen.</li>



<li>Beim <strong>Laissez-faire-Führungsstil</strong> überträgt die <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Führungskraft</a> Aufgaben auf die Mitarbeiter. Vorgesetzte machen klare Zielvorgaben, definieren die erwarteten Arbeitsergebnisse und delegieren die Aufgaben an die Mitarbeiter.</li>



<li>Dazwischen liegt der <strong>kooperative Führungsstil</strong>, bei dem Führungskraft und <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mitarbeiter</a> Verantwortung teilen beziehungsweise gemeinsam übernehmen. Eines der Forschungsergebnisse Lewins war, dass ein kooperativer Führungsstil mit einer erhöhten Arbeitszufriedenheit der Mitarbeiter verbunden ist.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Merkmale eines kooperativen Führungsstils</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kooperative Führungskräfte teilen Verantwortung mit ihren Mitarbeitern und beziehen sie in Entscheidungen ein. Für Prof. Dr. Guido Möllering, Direktor des Reinhard-Mohn-Instituts für Unternehmensführung an der Universität Witten/Herdecke, zählt zu den Merkmalen einer kooperativen <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Führungskraft</a> auch, dass mehr Autonomie gewährt wird bei zugleich gegenseitiger Transparenz und Koordination: “Die formale Führungskraft kommuniziert auf Augenhöhe, das heißt mit Respekt und Anerkennung der Fähigkeiten und Bedürfnisse der Geführten. Es gibt kaum noch Anweisungen, sondern man einigt sich, was zu tun ist”, so Möllering. Man verständige sich häufiger über die gemeinsamen Werte und Ziele. Führungskräfte sähen sich selbst als Vermittelnde.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Für den Transformationsexperten und <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Berater</a> Martin Michaelis ist es nicht nur eine Frage von Branchen, Unternehmenskultur oder Generationen, ob kooperatives Führen sinnvoll ist. “In der heutigen Zeit ständiger und schneller Veränderung haben Unternehmen gar keine andere Wahl, als Ihren Mitarbeitern in einem bestimmten Maße mehr Verantwortung zu übergeben. Das bedeutet für Führungskräfte, dass sie ihre Mitarbeiter mehr in Entscheidungsprozesse einbinden müssen.” Schwierig werde es dann, wenn unter den Mitarbeitern nur eine niedrige Bereitschaft bestehe, Verantwortung zu übernehmen. “Wichtig ist dann, Schritt für Schritt vorzugehen: je nach individueller Kapazität und nicht zu viel auf einmal an Verantwortungen zu delegieren”, rät Michaelis.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vor- und Nachteile eines kooperativen Führungsstils</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Die stärkere Partizipation und das Empowerment, das kooperative Führung ermöglicht, sind sehr motivierend, können aber auch überfordern”, weiß Experte Möllering. Wenn Verantwortung stärker geteilt werde, werfe das Fragen auf: Wer trägt das Risiko von gemeinsamen Entscheidungen? Und: Wer bekommt welchen Anteil am gemeinsamen Erfolg? “Wenn ein gemeinsames Verständnis hergestellt werden kann, wie die kooperative Führung wirklich gemeint ist, dann überwiegen klar die Vorteile”, ist Möllering überzeugt. Wichtig sei auch, dass eine echte Beteiligung an der Führung möglich ist. Also nicht am Ende doch wieder einer alles alleine entscheide.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kooperatives Führen lernen</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Doch lässt sich ein solcher kooperativer Führungsstil erlernen? “Es gibt eine Menge Kompetenzen, die erlernt werden können”, sagt Martin Michaelis auf die Frage, ob sich kooperatives Führen erlernen lässt. Dabei unterscheidet er zwischen Methoden und Verhalten, sowie Haltung. Neue Methoden und Verhaltensweisen lassen sich erlernen. Dazu zählt beispielsweise, sich selbst als Führungskraft zurückzunehmen, Mitarbeitern mehr Raum zu geben und ihnen mehr Fragen zu stellen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Eine kooperative Haltung braucht meist etwas mehr Zeit”, so Michaelis. Je nach Person ständen oft alte Einstellungen und Glaubenssätze im Weg. Eine wichtige Erkenntnis lautet: Wer kooperativ führen möchte, muss Schritt für Schritt lernen, Vertrauen zu haben. “Eine ‘Dann mache ich das jetzt lieber selbst’-Haltung ergibt keinen Sinn”, sagt Michaelis. In einer konkreten Situation ist eine Aufgabe damit vielleicht schneller und auch besser erledigt. Aber damit nehme man seinen Mitarbeitern den Raum, zu lernen und sich weiterzuentwickeln. Und damit auch die Möglichkeit, zumindest mittelfristig mehr Verantwortung zu übernehmen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kooperativ führen</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Bertelsmann Stiftung und das Reinhard-Mohn-Institut der Universität Witten/Herdecke haben für ihren <a href="https://www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/de/publikationen/publikation/did/fuehrungskraefte-radar-2020-corona-spezial-all#0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Führungskräfte-Radar</a> eine repräsentative Befragung unter Führungskräften in Deutschland vorgenommen. Eine Beobachtung: Wenn Home-Office zur Dauereinrichtung wird, befürchten Führungskräfte, dass der Austausch mit den Mitarbeitern mehr und mehr verloren geht und die Unternehmenskultur leidet. Viele Führungskräfte konnten ihre Mitarbeiter in Home-Office-Corona-Zeiten nicht so unterstützen, wie sie es gerne getan hätten (45,7 Prozent). Guido Möllering vom Reinhard-Mohn-Institut sagt: “Die Ausnahmesituation hat uns verschiedene Aspekte deutlicher sehen lassen als sonst”. Er nennt die folgenden drei Punkte:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Führung funktioniert nur, wenn die Geführten mitspielen, also kooperativ die Impulse der Führenden aufnehmen oder konstruktiv der Führungskraft Feedback geben.</li>



<li>Das Management kann gerade in einer Krise nicht alle Probleme alleine lösen und alle Entscheidungen alleine treffen. Notgedrungen wird mehr delegiert, pragmatisch gehandelt und sich aufeinander verlassen. Man ist im Team beim gemeinsamen, kooperativen Problemlösen mehr auf Augenhöhe.</li>



<li>Gerade beim Führen auf Distanz (insbesondere wegen Homeoffice) merkt man deutlich, dass Führen nicht primär Kontrolle, sondern Unterstützung der Geführten bedeutet. Der Team-Gedanke verstärkt sich und die Verantwortung für das gemeinsame Ergebnis wird stärker geteilt.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kooperative Führungskräfte brauchen Vertrauen</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Übergreifend werde deutlich, wie wichtig eine solide Vertrauensbasis sei, so Möllering: “Diese baut man nicht durch hierarchische Anweisungen, sondern durch kollegiale Zusammenarbeit auf.” Im Gegensatz zu dem oft in Krisen vermuteten autoritären Führungsstil hat sich in der zurückliegenden Corona-Pandemie nicht die lenkende Führungskraft früherer Zeiten, sondern die vermittelnde Führungskraft bewährt.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Wie Führungskräfte Teams im Homeoffice leiten</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Seit der Pandemie gehört virtuelle Mitarbeiterführung zu den Standartaufgaben für jeden Vorgesetzten. Wir haben die wichtigsten Learnings aus dieser Zeit zusammengefasst.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zu den größten Herausforderungen zählen die unterschiedlichen Voraussetzungen, womit Teammitglieder bei der Heimarbeit konfrontiert sind. Nicht jeder hat ausreichenden Raum für ein separates Home-Office. Dazu kommen Ablenkungen wie Kinder, Haustiere oder bei Singles ein Gefühl der Isolation. All das hat Einfluss darauf, wie und zu welchen Zeiten Mitarbeiter ihre Aufgaben am besten erledigen können. Vorgesetzte, die offen Verständnis für individuelle Situationen zeigen, schaffen die Grundlage einer vertrauensvollen Zusammenarbeit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Permanenter Stress im Home-Office ist keine gute Voraussetzung, um kontinuierlich gute Arbeit zu leisten. Wer als Führungskraft vermittelt, dass es okay ist, nicht immer perfekt zu funktionieren, nimmt Mitarbeitern etwas den Druck in der Gewöhnung an die neue Normalität. Vielen fällt es mit dieser Gewissheit leichter, Deadlines einzuhalten und den Erwartungen zu entsprechen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ein tägliches Gespräch mit Chefin oder Chef – ist das nicht zu viel der Kommunikation? Nein, denn insbesondere bei der digitalen Mitarbeiterführung ist die Regelmäßigkeit des Austauschs entscheidend. Nur so lässt sich einschätzen, ob alles wie besprochen läuft und sich alle im Team den Anforderungen gewachsen fühlen. Missverständnisse und Fehler passieren – ähnlich wie im Büro – vor allem, wenn zu wenig kommuniziert wird.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nur mit Personen, zu denen man regelmäßigen Kontakt pflegt, können Beziehungen entstehen. Das funktioniert im Zeitalter des digitalen Austauschs über zahlreiche Kommunikationskanäle. Moderne Videokonferenz-Tools wie Zoom, Teams, Google Meet etc. ermöglichen eine Kommunikation von Angesicht zu Angesicht und machen sichtbar, wie es allen Teammitgliedern geht.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dezentral organisierte Teamarbeit funktioniert am effektivsten, wenn sich alle über die Grundregeln der Kommunikation einig sind. Vorgesetzte können für klare Verhältnisse sorgen, indem sie Häufigkeit, Zweck und Timing des Austauschs und die dafür priorisierten Kanäle festlegen. Videokonferenzen sind in der Regel die erste Wahl für die tägliche Gruppenbesprechung. Gerade größere Gesprächsrunden lassen sich durch simple Tricks so strukturieren, dass auch Meetings mit hoher Teilnehmerzahl geordnet und effektiv ablaufen. Wenn es um dringliche Angelegenheiten oder Nachfragen geht, sind andere Kanäle wie Instant Messaging der bessere Weg. Unified-Communications-Plattformen ermöglichen eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen und Kommunikationskanälen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oft werden beim Übergang von der klassischen Büroarbeit ins Home-Office Aufgaben innerhalb eines Teams neu verteilt oder kommen neue hinzu. Damit Mitarbeiter diese erfüllen können, muss klar sein, was genau von ihnen erwartet wird. Manchen mag es außerhalb der gewohnten Büroatmosphäre anfangs schwerfallen, Aufträge zu priorisieren. Gemeinsam kann geklärt werden, welche Aufgaben Priorität haben und zu schaffen ist. Einfach davon auszugehen, dass jeder weiß, was zu tun ist, ist kontraproduktiv. Besser ist, von Anfang an eine Feedback-Schleife zu vereinbaren, um Erwartungen anzupassen und in den bekannten Applikationen zu dokumentieren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Teams funktionieren vor allem dann, wenn alle Mitglieder eine gemeinsame Mission verfolgen. Das dabei entstehende Gemeinschaftsgefühl hilft auch, Unsicherheiten zu überwinden und mit ungewohnten Arbeitssituationen umzugehen. Wenn jeder weiß, was er zum gemeinsamen Erfolg beiträgt, ist das die beste Motivation, Höchstleistungen zu erbringen. Erfolge sollten außerdem gewürdigt werden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wie lassen sich Engagement und Selbstverantwortung fördern? Indem Führungskräfte sich auf die gewünschten Ergebnisse konzentrieren und Teammitgliedern den Freiraum lassen, selbst einzuteilen, wie sie zum Ziel kommen wollen. Voraussetzung dafür ist ausreichend Zeit und zuvor aufgebautes Vertrauen. Ist das der Fall, lässt sich auf diesem Weg nicht nur die Kreativität der Mitarbeiter fördern, sondern auch kräftezehrendes Mikromanagement vermeiden. Virtuelle Brainstorms lassen sich beispielsweise in Breakout-Räume aufteilen. Kleinere Teams können dadurch in separaten Sitzungen arbeiten und ihre Ideen sammeln, die anschließend in der größeren Runde präsentiert werden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Regelmäßige Kommunikation und klare Zielvorgaben sind wichtig. Sie dürfen aber nicht dazu führen, dass Mitarbeiter das Gefühl bekommen, im Home-Office überwacht zu werden. Vorgesetzte, die mehrmals täglich penible Rückmeldungen zu erledigten Arbeitsschritten einfordern, signalisieren damit fehlendes Vertrauen. Sie riskieren zudem, dass Teams den Fokus verlieren. Beratung und Betreuung sind besser als strikte Kontrolle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Als neues Mitglied in ein dezentral arbeitendes Team zu kommen, kann zur Herausforderung werden, weil sich die Dynamik einer Gruppe anfangs schwerer erspüren lässt. Umso wichtiger ist es, Neulingen zu Beginn ihrer Tätigkeit das Gefühl zu geben, Teil der Gruppe zu sein. Unternehmen, die bereits über längere Erfahrung in dezentralem Arbeiten verfügen, haben dies zum festen Bestandteil ihres Onboardings gemacht.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Selbst in gut funktionierenden Arbeitsumfeldern kann es gelegentlich zu Unsicherheiten, Unzufriedenheit oder Ängsten der Mitarbeiter kommen. Die Aufgabe von Führungskräften besteht darin, Teams davor zu schützen. Das gelingt am besten, wenn auch die sozialen Aspekte der gemeinsamen Arbeit berücksichtigt werden. Dafür braucht es keine verpflichtenden gemeinsamen Kaffeepausen, aber von Zeit zu Zeit die Gelegenheit für einen lockeren Austausch, der Mitarbeitern das Gefühl gibt, trotz der Distanz wahrgenommen zu werden. Virtuell lässt sich der Teamgeist auch fördern, wenn zur Abwechslung mal eine Happy Hour, ein virtuelles Quizzen oder ein gemeinsames Essen per Videochat organisiert wird.<br><br><br></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Für Laien mag das wie ein Märchen klingen, aber: Das Gesicht eines Menschen ist wie ein offenes Buch. Es erzählt von <a href="https://www.cio.de/article/3669323/das-zeichnet-einen-guten-chef-aus.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cio.de/article/3669323/das-zeichnet-einen-guten-chef-aus.html">Charaktereigenschaften</a>, Denkmustern und natürlich auch vom Führungsstil. Die Wurzeln dieser Wissenschaft der <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho-Physiognomik">Psychophysiognomie</a> reichen Jahrtausende zurück und werden heute in vielen Bereichen genutzt, von der Kriminalistik bis zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Das Bewegungsnaturell</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Formensprache eines Gesichts gibt wertvolle Hinweise. Markante, eckige Formen wie ein breiter Kiefer und dominante Wangenknochen deuten auf das Bewegungsnaturell hin. Solche Chefs sind „Macher“, lieben Herausforderungen und handeln zielstrebig. Ihr <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3539125/partizipatives-employer-branding-was-fur-den-fuhrungsstil-spricht.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3539125/partizipatives-employer-branding-was-fur-den-fuhrungsstil-spricht.html">Führungsstil</a> ist dynamisch und durchsetzungsstark. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Doch es gibt eine Kehrseite: Diese Persönlichkeiten können dominant wirken und wenig Geduld aufbringen. Ihre direkte Art fordert klare Kommunikation und schnelle Ergebnisse. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Umgangstipp</strong>: Begegnen Sie solchen Chefs mit gut strukturierten Vorschlägen, ohne lange Erklärungen. Struktur und Fakten statt <a href="https://www.cio.de/article/3674908/wie-chefs-ihre-emotionen-in-den-griff-bekommen-2.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cio.de/article/3674908/wie-chefs-ihre-emotionen-in-den-griff-bekommen-2.html">Emotionen</a> sind hier der Schlüssel. Respektieren Sie seine Entscheidungsfreude, aber zeigen Sie, dass Sie selbst eine starke Position vertreten können. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Das Empfindungsnaturell</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3968607/schwache-chefs-kehren-die-schwachen-ihrer-mitarbeiter-hervor.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3968607/schwache-chefs-kehren-die-schwachen-ihrer-mitarbeiter-hervor.html">Chefs</a> mit feinen, zarten Gesichtszügen und großen Augen sind dem Empfindungsnaturell zuzuordnen. Diese Persönlichkeiten sind kreativ, emphatisch und feinfühlig. Sie legen Wert auf ein harmonisches Arbeitsumfeld, lieben den Dialog und entwickeln kreative Lösungen gemeinsam mit ihrem Umfeld. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aber aufgepasst: Ihre hohe Sensibilität macht sie empfänglich für Konflikte oder Spannungen. Kritik sollte stets diplomatisch formuliert werden, da sie schnell als persönliche Ablehnung wahrgenommen werden kann. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Umgangstipp</strong>: Bauen Sie Vertrauen auf, zeigen Sie <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2826599/auf-augenhoehe-trennen.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2826599/auf-augenhoehe-trennen.html">Wertschätzung</a> und Respekt und präsentieren Sie Ideen als Teil eines gemeinsamen Prozesses. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Das Ernährungsnaturell</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Schließlich gibt es Chefs, deren Gesichtszüge durch runde Formen geprägt sind – typische Zeichen des Ernährungsnaturells. Sie schätzen Stabilität, Behaglichkeit und klare Strukturen. Ihr Führungsstil ist pragmatisch und auf langfristige Sicherheit ausgerichtet. Sie sind ausgezeichnete <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3607605/wie-chefs-das-netzwerken-der-mitarbeiter-fordern.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3607605/wie-chefs-das-netzwerken-der-mitarbeiter-fordern.html">Netzwerker</a> und lieben es, Ressourcen zu planen und zu verteilen.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Achtung: Ihre Komfortzone kann manchmal eine gewisse Trägheit mit sich bringen und sie neigen dazu, Veränderungen nur sehr langsam zu akzeptieren. Sie schätzen bewährte Lösungen und haben eine Vorliebe für Traditionen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Umgangstipp:</strong> Argumentieren Sie pragmatisch und betonen Sie die Vorteile von Stabilität und Sicherheit. Geben Sie ihnen die Zeit, neue Ideen zu durchdenken und zeigen Sie vor allem klar auf, wie einfach und sinnhaft die Umstellung zum langfristigen Erfolg beiträgt. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Die Mischung macht’s: Kombinierte Naturelle und ihre Ansprechbarkeit</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In der Realität sind die wenigsten Menschen einem einzigen Naturell klar zuzuordnen. Häufig vereinen Gesichter Merkmale von zwei – manchmal sogar drei – Naturellen. So treffen beispielsweise die Zielstrebigkeit des Bewegungsnaturells und die Empathie des Empfindungsnaturells aufeinander oder die Stabilität des Ernährungsnaturells wird durch kreative Aspekte des Empfindungsnaturells ergänzt. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Viele <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2774719/nicht-jeder-stellvertreter-eignet-sich-zum-thronfolger.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2774719/nicht-jeder-stellvertreter-eignet-sich-zum-thronfolger.html">Führungspersönlichkeiten</a> sind übrigens klare Bewegungs-Ernährungs-Naturelle, da der ihnen innewohnende Pragmatismus und die Zielorientiertheit durch die Dynamik des Bewegungsnaturells angeschoben wird. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tipp</strong>: Achten Sie darauf, welche Merkmale stärker ausgeprägt sind, und gestalten Sie Ihr Verhalten und Ihre Kommunikation entsprechend, das eröffnet ganz neue Möglichkeiten der <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2830181/so-geht-generationsuebergreifende-zusammenarbeit.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2830181/so-geht-generationsuebergreifende-zusammenarbeit.html">Zusammenarbeit</a>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">„Du“-Denken oder „Ich“-Denken: Welcher Typ ist Ihr Chef? </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ein weiterer Aspekt der <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3807778/ki-erkennt-am-gesicht-wer-fur-einen-job-geeignet-ist.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3807778/ki-erkennt-am-gesicht-wer-fur-einen-job-geeignet-ist.html">Gesichtsdeutung</a> ist, ob jemand im „Ich-“ oder „Du-Modus“ agiert. Eingefallene Wangen und eine große Nase deuten auf ein „Ich“-Denken hin – ergebnisorientiert und zielgerichtet, aber weniger mitarbeiterbezogen. Eine hohe Stirn, volle Wangen und offene Augen signalisieren dagegen den „Du-Modus“. Solche Chefs schätzen <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2743092/wenn-kollegen-gift-fuers-teamwork-sind.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2743092/wenn-kollegen-gift-fuers-teamwork-sind.html">Teamgeist</a> und gemeinsame Lösungen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tipp</strong>: Stimmen Sie Ihre Kommunikation darauf ab. „Ich“-Denker schätzen klare Ergebnisse, während „Du“-Denker einen wertschätzenden Dialog bevorzugen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nutzen statt Urteilen: Wie Gesichtslesen Ihre Arbeitsbeziehung verbessert</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Psychophysiognomie ist keine Wahrsagerei, sondern eine klare Methode, um Menschen besser zu verstehen. Indem Sie die Gesichtsstruktur Ihres Chefs analysieren, erkennen Sie, was ihn antreibt und wie Sie Konflikte vermeiden können. Dieses Wissen hilft, Vertrauen aufzubauen und effektiver zu agieren. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fakt ist, das Gesichtslesen schärft den Blick für die Einzigartigkeit jedes Menschen, reduziert Missverständnisse und verbessert die Zusammenarbeit. In einer Welt, die stark von zwischenmenschlichen Verbindungen abhängt, ist dies ein unschätzbarer Vorteil. </p>

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-23-um-16.37.39.png?w=1024" alt="Überlastung" class="wp-image-4200773" width="1024" height="571" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Trotz Überlastung immer funktionieren zu wollen, macht krank.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Mangostar – shutterstock.com</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Programmierer, so lautet ein populäres Bonmot, sind Maschinen, die Koffein in <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Code</a> verwandeln. Das trifft auch auf viele andere Freiberufler zu. Der hohe Koffeinbedarf hängt damit zusammen, dass Freelancer allzu oft genau dann arbeiten, wenn ihr Gehirn sich lieber auf Stand-by schalten und zur Ruhe begeben möchte, nämlich nachts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sogar ein Buch gibt es schon, das sich mit diesem Phänomen und seinen Ursachen beschäftigt (“<a href="https://swizec.com/blog/why-programmers-work-at-night-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Why Programmers work at Night</a>“). Gesund ist die Nachtarbeit nicht, ebenso wenig wie das ständige Zuviel an <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arbeit</a> und ein paar andere Arbeits- und Lebensgewohnheiten, die vielen Freiberuflern zu eigen sind.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Work-Life-Balance in Schieflage geraten</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nach Ansicht von Karol Krol, einem polnischen Blogger, <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Programmierer</a> und Internetunternehmer, stehen viele Freelancer kurz vor dem Burnout, ohne es zu merken. Wir sagen Freiberuflern, woran sie feststellen können, dass ihre Work-Life-Balance bedrohlich in die Schieflage geraten ist.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Sie arbeiten oft bis spät in die Nacht</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Menschen sind keine Eulen und keine Fledermäuse, sondern biologisch eindeutig tagaktive Tiere. Sie sehen gut am Tag und schlecht in der Nacht. Sich einzureden, man sei nachts am produktivsten oder könne nachts “einfach am besten arbeiten”, ist in aller Regel Selbstbetrug. Wer nachts kein Ende findet, hat entweder insgesamt zu viel <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arbeit</a> oder schafft es nicht, sich tagsüber Ablenkungen zu entziehen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Sie kommen morgens nicht in Gang</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Natürlich: Kalt duschen, ein schneller Kaffee und 20 Minuten nach dem Weckerklingeln am Schreibtisch sitzen – das schaffen die wenigsten. Aber wer auch zwei oder drei Stunden nach dem Aufstehen nicht in der Lage ist, die ersten Dinge auf der To-do-Liste anzugehen, hat ein Problem. Ein Grund kann – natürlich – chronische <a href="https://cio.de/article/3665643/teams-ziehen-muede-kollegen-mit.html" target="_blank">Müdigkeit</a> sein, ein anderer die Tatsache, dass Sie Ihren Arbeitstag nicht als begrenztes, achtstündiges Gebilde betrachten. Sie sind eigentlich immer im Arbeitsmodus – und haben deshalb auch nie Freizeit.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Sie haben keine Zeit für Entspannung</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nie abzuschalten, ist hochgradig gesundheitsgefährdend. Gerade Menschen, die grundsätzlich viel leisten können und wollen, brauchten unbedingt Erholungsphasen, damit ihre Kraft erhalten bleibt. Dabei genügt es nicht, auf dem Sofa zu liegen und über den nächsten <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Job</a> nachzudenken. Denn auch das Gehirn braucht Entspannung. Wer es ihm nie gönnt, ist allein schon deshalb ein Burnout-Kandidat.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Ihre Standardantwort ist: Keine Zeit!</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wie oft haben Sie zuletzt gesagt: “Ich kann nicht, bin gerade im Stress!”, wenn ein Freund mit Ihnen ein Bier trinken gehen wollte? Wenn Sie seit drei Wochen oder mehr außer Arbeiten nichts gemacht haben, dann stimmt etwas nicht. Ein Leben, das ausschließlich aus <a href="https://enablinghybridwork.cio.de/hoechste-sicherheit-fuer-behoerden-und-unternehmen" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arbeit</a> besteht, kann nicht Ihr Ziel sein.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Jobs werden nicht pünktlich fertig</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das kann natürlich ganz unterschiedliche Gründe haben: insgesamt zu viel Arbeit, schlechte Organisation, schlechtes Briefing durch den Auftraggeber etc.<br>Der häufigste und gefährlichste Grund hängt allerdings eng mit Punkt zwei dieser Liste zusammen: Dadurch, dass sie immer im Arbeitsmodus sind und ihr Arbeitstag gefühlt 24 Stunden hat, gaukelt das <a href="https://cio.de/article/3669593/wie-manager-besser-entscheiden-2.html" target="_blank">Unterbewusstsein</a> Ihnen vor, Sie hätten für alles unendlich viel Zeit. Also gibt es auch keinen Grund, sofort mit irgendwas anzufangen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Keine Zeit für eigene Projekte</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Freiberufler zu sein bedeutet, Freiheiten zu haben. Zum Beispiel die, neben den Jobs für Ihre Kunden eigene Projekte anzuschieben. Doch ein solches Projekt zu starten ist eine Sache, es anschließend auch durchzuziehen, eine andere. Wenn Sie mindestens ein Projekt haben, an das Sie glauben, das aber schon seit einem halben Jahr darauf wartet, weiterverfolgt zu werden, sollten Sie sich fragen, warum Sie ursprünglich gerne Freiberufler sein wollten.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Sie haben keine Hobbys</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oder doch, haben Sie natürlich schon, aber Sie kommen schon ewig nicht mehr dazu. Das Klavier ist seit einem Jahr so verstimmt, dass es keinen Spaß mehr macht. Den Klavierstimmer anrufen? Keine Zeit. Siebzig Euro kostet der Fitness-Club Sie jeden Monat, aber Sie haben keine Ahnung, wann Sie zuletzt dort waren.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">8. Sie lesen fast nie mehr ein Buch</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Klar, auch viele <a href="https://cio.de/article/3667117/chefs-haben-weniger-stress-als-mitarbeiter.html" target="_blank">Angestellte</a> tun das nicht. Aber für fast alle fällt Lesen in die Rubrik: Dinge, die ich schon lange mal wieder tun wollte. Wer Bücher liest, beweist sich selbst, dass er zumindest gelegentlich gerne auf andere Gedanken kommen möchte. Und dass er entschlossen ist, sich auch mal zu entspannen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">9. Freundschaften schlafen ein</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mehrere Menschen, die Ihnen lieb und teuer sind, haben Sie seit Monaten nicht mehr gesprochen. Nehmen Sie sich vor, einmal pro Woche zum Hörer zu greifen und Menschen anzurufen, die ihnen wichtig sind. Oder die Ihnen mit gutem Grund einmal wichtig waren.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">… und ziehen Sie Yoga und weitere Meditationsübungen in Betracht. Diese Übungen sind die besten Mittel gegen Stress und tragen dazu bei, Stressgefühle abzubauen.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[CNBC reports:


Amazon is requiring that third-party sellers label any product images or videos that contain "AI-generated people" after New York recently passed a law mandating greater transparency around "synthetic performers" in ads... The policy directs sellers to tag images [and videos or other graphics on listing pages] with specific metadata keywords before they're uploaded. "Recent legislation requires disclosure when images or videos in advertisements contain photorealistic AI-generated people," Amazon wrote in the announcement [clarifying that the requirement doesn't apply to content featuring TV/video game/movie characters or content including real people, even if they've been altered using AI]. The company said it will "add an indicator" to listings on its website, informing consumers that images or other content feature AI-generated people, "where applicable." It's unclear what criteria Amazon will apply when deciding when to display the label to shoppers... 

Amazon has embraced AI internally and it's increasingly infusing the technology across its portfolio. The company has optimized listing titles and details so they're more likely to be spotted by AI systems, invested in a recently rebranded assistant called Alexa for Shopping, and launched a feature that injects AI-generated [images of] products into its search bar in real time based on user queries. More Amazon third-party sellers are using AI to generate text, images and other content for their listings, partly by using the company's tools. 

Outside sellers account for more than 60% of goods sold on Amazon, the article points out. It adds that there's currently no nationwide U.S. law requiring companies to disclose AI-generated advertising content, it adds — but YouTube, Meta, Pinterest, and TikTok have already added labels for AI-generated content. 

And a new California law also requires large AI providers to embed watermarks in AI-generated images, video and other content...<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Providers and deployers of AI systems: You only have a couple of weeks left until you must explicitly inform users when they are interacting with AI content.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To assist in the effort, the European Commission (Commission) has published <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_1653" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">guidelines</a> to help AI deployers get in line with the AI Act’s transparency obligations, which will begin to go into effect on August 2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After that, companies providing AI systems must alert users when they are interacting with AI. They must also tell users when they have been exposed to deepfakes, “emotion recognition,” or biometric categorization systems, or when they are given AI-manipulated content in matters of “public interests without human review or editorial control.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://commission.europa.eu/about/organisation/college-commissioners/henna-virkkunen_en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Henna Virkkunen</a>, the Commission’s executive VP for tech sovereignty, security and democracy, said in a statement, “with today’s guidelines, the Commission supports the smooth and effective application of the AI Act to make AI systems interacting with people such as chatbots and AI agents and AI content more transparent and trustworthy. These guidelines support providers and deployers in meeting their obligations under the AI Act, while helping citizens know when they are interacting with AI.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Systems must include machine-readable markers to reveal such content, to reduce “the risk of deception and manipulation” and build public trust in AI.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Generative systems have collapsed the cost of producing convincing content while the cost of judging it stands where it always stood,” said <a href="https://greyhoundresearch.com/svg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanchit Vir Gogia</a>, chief analyst at Greyhound Research. This requirement is “an attempt to restore friction to that imbalance.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A company’s non-compliance could result in fines anywhere from €750K (about $856K) to €15M (about $17 million), or even up to 3% of its total worldwide annual revenue.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Transparency requirements</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/2096040/what-it-leaders-need-to-know-about-the-eu-ai-act.html" target="_blank">EU AI Act’s</a> transparency requirements apply to “natural or legal persons,” public authorities, agencies, or other bodies that develop AI systems, or have them developed, and place them on the EU market or into use under their name or trademark. This means all companies, regardless of whether or not they are EU-based.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Systems placed on the European market, put into service there, or producing outputs used there are inside the field, wherever the developer sits,” Gogia noted.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Applicable systems must be intended to interact directly with “natural persons”; these systems include AI-enabled chatbots or conversational agents, AI companions, or coding agents. However, AI-enabled tools like recommender systems, spam filters, authentication, search and retrieval, transcription, text and code auto-completion, or predictive maintenance do not fall under the rule.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Specific outputs such as AI-generated text, images, video, and audio must contain a machine-readable mark. Deepfakes and public interest-related text created by AI without human review or control must be clearly labeled, however, deepfake content that is “artistic, creative, satirical, or fictional” is largely exempt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI content must be marked with one of three labels: “AI,” “Fully AI-generated,” or “Partially AI-modified.” For instance, “Fully AI-generated” applies when news summaries, music, art, or videos have been created without any human oversight (apart from prompting), while “partially AI-modified” could mean a person’s face is swapped into an authentic photograph to create a deepfake.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The three icons are publicly available for free use; enterprises can download zip files in <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/129547" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PNG</a> and <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/129546" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SVG</a> formats.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most of the <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4032894/analysis-of-the-european-ai-regulation-one-year-after-its-entry-into-force.html" target="_blank">Act’s transparency rules</a> begin to go into effect on August 2. But AI systems placed on the market before then will have some leeway; they must be in compliance by December 2.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, a four-month allowance “on one obligation, for one population of systems, contingent on one procedural step, is not a strategy,” Gogia emphasized. Enterprises should plan to comply by August 2 and “treat any relief that arrives as margin.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A consistent code of practice</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Along with the transparency guidelines, the Commission has introduced a <a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/code-practice-ai-generated-content" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">code of practice</a> that essentially serves as a gesture of good faith. When signed, it can provide “legal certainty” and a “simple and practical” way to demonstrate compliance with the <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4143748/top-global-and-us-ai-regulations-to-look-out-for.html" target="_blank">AI Act</a>, according to the Commission. Signatories can also collaborate through the ‘Signatory Taskforce,’ which will share practices and advance technologies around marking and labeling practices.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Providers that choose not to sign must comply through other methods and demonstrate that those methods are “adequate” through assessment by surveillance authorities, according to the Commission.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Non-signatories “keep their flexibility, and will face more case-by-case scrutiny for it,” said Gogia.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Criteria for compliance </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.infotech.com/profiles/shashi-bellamkonda" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shashi Bellamkonda</a>, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group, pointed out that the transparency requirements apply to content only when three criteria are met: It has been published, is informative to the public, or is on matters of public interest.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">B2B business content or blogs may not need an AI disclosure if they do not meet these criteria, he noted. Also, published text that has undergone human review or is under editorial control does not need to be labeled. Editorial control means that a person must hold the ultimate legal responsibility for the publication of the content.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many companies like Google, Adobe, and LinkedIn have already established ways to identify images marked as AI-generated. Meta has made it a requirement, but the creator has to add the AI-generated label, Bellamkonda said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This is a good move for <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4164963/eu-lawmakers-fail-to-agree-on-watered-down-ai-act-talks-pushed-to-may.html" target="_blank">guardrails</a> around public information, and companies with good compliance and ethical oversight may not have to worry about this,” he noted. But as a general practice, companies should disclose AI-generated content and state whether it has been human reviewed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Creating a transparency pipeline</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Establishing full transparency means identifying who carries the responsibility for the content, whether the marking survives real use, not just testing, and what evidence will defend the decision, Gogia said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Concerns cluster around responsibility, durability and evidence. Several organizations usually touch one piece of content, and none controls the whole chain, which is why contracts become the “pressure point,” he said. Most current agreements were written to deliver software and say “almost nothing” about provenance persistence, verification access, or evidence retention.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The durability concern is the most difficult, Gogia noted, because marking performs well in controlled settings but “badly in ordinary life.” Meta, for one, said its invisible watermark was designed to survive cropping; a published test, however, found the company’s preview detector missed <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/meta-ai-image-detector-fails-identify-some-its-own-cropped-ai-images-reuters-2026-07-10/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">55% of cropped images</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“CIOs should ask which platform can actually provide evidence before believing its dashboard,” said Gogia.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Disclosure of AI use must be “clear, distinguishable and accessible,” he emphasized. “A notice buried in lengthy terms, or reachable only through determined clicking, satisfies nobody, least of all a market surveillance authority.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sustained compliance is a “living control” requiring a central record of systems, duties and evidence; testing taking place where the user meets the control rather than where the developer built it; and continuous supplier assurance. Enforcement will vary by country, so keep one common baseline with local overlays, Gogia said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His advice: Inventory every system that talks to people, generates content, or gauges sentiment; classify provider and deployer roles; place disclosures at first interaction; define substantive human review; keep the evidence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Marks and provenance signals should be tested after content undergoes cropping, compression, translation, transcription, and other editing, Gogia said. A useful audit starts from a real output and follows its “pulse” through generation, editing and publication, identifying at “each beat” the responsible party, the surviving mark, and evidence for exceptions. Missed labels should also be traced for root cause and recurrence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To ensure compliance, before August 2, enterprises need a prioritized inventory, live disclosures on the highest-risk use cases, and a “named owner for every control,” he noted. In the first 30 days, they should stabilize and test; in the first 90 days, push requirements into procurement processes as a standing discipline. Procurement must secure commitments on marking methods, known failure modes, and evidence access, with explicit notice if/when any of them change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The sensible architecture is a common transparency baseline carrying traceability, responsibility, and evidence, with jurisdictional overlays for language, sector rules, and local practice,” Gogia said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A US federal court has approved Anthropic’s $1.5 billion settlement in a class-action lawsuit in which authors <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3489680/anthropic-sued-by-authors-over-alleged-misuse-of-copyrighted-works-for-ai-training.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3489680/anthropic-sued-by-authors-over-alleged-misuse-of-copyrighted-works-for-ai-training.html">accused the AI company of using their books without permission</a> to train the AI model Claude.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The dispute is one of several legal cases in which copyright holders sued AI companies over how large language models (LLMs) were trained, and it is the first major AI-related copyright dispute in the US to be resolved through a settlement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A judge had previously ruled that the actual training of AI models using books falls under the “fair use” doctrine in US copyright law. But Anthropic was found to have violated the law by storing more than 7 million pirated books in a central library, regardless of whether they were later used for AI training or not.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building a presentation can take lots of time. There are design choices to figure out: the slide layouts, fonts, theme colors, and so on. You can use a template to skip this hassle, but you still have to paste your text and other content into the slides and edit it all so that the results are visually appealing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In PowerPoint, Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant can now automate the heavy lifting of presentation creation. It can generate a first-draft presentation in minutes, then help you edit it. You can also prompt Copilot to help you quickly understand the contents of a presentation and glean insights from it. Use the tips in this guide to save oodles of time as you create and work with presentations.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Who can use Copilot in PowerPoint</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Individuals with a <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-copilot/pricing/individuals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, or Premium</a> subscription have access to Copilot from within PowerPoint and other Microsoft 365 apps. Users with a Premium plan have <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/Microsoft-365-Copilot/ai-credits-and-limits-for-microsoft-365-subscriptions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">higher Copilot usage allowances</a> and access to advanced AI features.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For business users, it’s more complicated. Organizations with more than 2,000 users must pay for <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1629974/m365-copilot-microsofts-generative-ai-tool-explained.html">Microsoft 365 Copilot</a> licenses for their users in addition to their regular Microsoft 365 licenses.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Working with Copilot in PowerPoint</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">First, let’s quickly go over the notable settings of the Copilot sidebar.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you have a presentation open in PowerPoint, click the Copilot icon; it may be floating at the lower-right corner of your PowerPoint window or parked at the right end of the Ribbon toolbar. The Copilot sidebar will open along the right of the page. You’ll type your prompts to Copilot inside the chat window in this pane.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-01-sidebar.png?w=1024" alt="powerpoint screen with copilot sidebar open on right" class="wp-image-4195065" width="1024" height="576" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>The sidebar on the right is where you interact with Copilot in PowerPOint.</p><br></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Agent mode:</strong> By default, Copilot can build a new presentation or make changes to an existing one in the main PowerPoint window. This is known as “agent mode.” To change this so that Copilot can’t take direct action on a presentation (all its responses appear in the sidebar), click the <em>Allow editing</em> button above the chat window and change it to <em>Chat only</em>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tips in this guide require that Copilot be in agent mode, so make sure you see <em>Allow editing</em> above the chat window.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Choice of AI model:</strong> Behind the scenes, Copilot has access to various genAI models, including different versions of Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT.  By default, it decides which model to use based on your prompt. You can set it to use a particular model: click <em>Auto</em> at the upper right of the Copilot pane and select a model from the dropdown that opens.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-02-sidebar-model-dropdown.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of copilot sidebar in powerpoint with models dropdown menu open" class="wp-image-4195063" width="1024" height="697" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>You can choose which AI model you want Copilot to use for a request.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tips in this guide should work fine on the default <em>Auto</em> setting. But feel free to experiment switching to specific models to see which give you the best results for particular tasks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Important:</strong> Remember that <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4059383/openai-admits-ai-hallucinations-are-mathematically-inevitable-not-just-engineering-flaws.html">generative AI output often includes errors</a>, so always check Copilot’s output for accuracy. (Also see our <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4067372/how-to-curb-hallucinations-in-copilot-and-other-genai-tools.html">tips for reducing hallucinations in Copilot</a>.) You’ll likely want to rewrite it in your own voice as you’re reviewing it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>1. Create a presentation template</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For many people, the hardest part of creating a presentation is getting started. What types of information should be included on the slides, and in what order? Copilot can give you a leg up by creating the type of presentation you need, with placeholder data that you can later replace with your own.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Start a new presentation, open the Copilot sidebar, and type your prompt into the chat window. It’s best to provide very specific details in your prompt. The more context or details you provide, the more likely Copilot will generate a presentation template that suits your needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A good prompt should contain the slide count, subject, audience, and tone. Example:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Create a 6-slide presentation for a sales meeting focusing on Q1 revenue. The audience is the sales team, so keep the tone professional and focused on the sales data.</em></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Copilot may ask a series of follow-up questions, such as your preferred visual style and desired level of detail. Then it will generate a presentation template.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-03-generated-presentation-with-placeholder-data.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of powerpoint presentation generated by copilot with placeholder data" class="wp-image-4195064" width="1024" height="576" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Copilot generates a presentation with placeholder data and explains its elements.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can optionally prompt Copilot for revisions, and when you’re happy with the template, swap in your own data.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>2. Create a presentation from a document</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can attach a document (such as a Word document, Excel spreadsheet, or PDF) and prompt Copilot to generate a presentation based on its contents. This works best with a structured-format document (such as a business plan, project proposal, or summary report) that contains sections with headings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Copilot can extract the document’s text and structure to generate the slide content for the new presentation. This can especially be useful for quickly turning a long report into a visually appealing presentation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the Copilot pane, click the <em>+</em> icon at the bottom of the chat window. A list of documents that you’ve recently accessed appears. Select the one that you want Copilot to use. Alternatively, click the magnifying glass icon and inside its search box, type a few letters of the filename for the document you want. (Business users with an M365 Copilot license can select up to five files for Copilot to pull from when creating a presentation.)</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-04-attach-document.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of copilot sidebar in powerpoint with a document being attached for copilot to base a presentation on" class="wp-image-4195062" width="1024" height="733" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Attaching a document for Copilot to base a presentation on.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then in the chat window, you can enter a prompt that’s as simple as “<em>Create a presentation</em>,” although as always, providing more details and context is better. This is especially important for corporate users who reference multiple source files. It’s useful to tell Copilot what data to pull from each document.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Answer any follow-up questions that Copilot asks, and it will then generate the presentation.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-05-generated-presentation-from-doc.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of powerpoint with a presentation generated by copilot from a document" class="wp-image-4195067" width="1024" height="576" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Copilot has generated a professional presentation from a social media marketing campaign document.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Note: Your marketing department may have created one or more <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/PowerPoint/copilot/keep-your-presentation-on-brand-with-copilot" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">branded company templates for Copilot to work from</a>. If that’s the case at your organization, simply open the appropriate company template as your first step. Then you can upload docs and type a prompt as described above. Copilot will create a presentation using the branded template.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>3. Add content from a document to a slide</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Manually copying text or other content from a document and pasting it into a new slide is a chore. Instead, you can prompt Copilot to extract information directly from a Word document, Excel spreadsheet, or PDF to create new slides.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the Copilot pane, attach the document using the same steps described in tip 2, then tell Copilot to create a slide from the document. As always, it helps to provide details such as the new slide’s focus or what data to include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Add a slide based on the attached document.</em></li>



<li><em>Use the attached file to add a slide about the project budget that focuses on Q1 projections.</em></li>



<li><em>Summarize only the financial section of the attached document as a slide.</em></li>
</ul>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-06-generated-slide-from-spreadsheet.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of a slide in powerpoint generated by copilot from spreadsheet data" class="wp-image-4195068" width="1024" height="612" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>A new Copilot-generated slide based on data from an Excel spreadsheet.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><a></a>4. Refine your slide text</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A presentation should be visual and display only the core message. Conciseness and proper writing tone are essential for your slides, so that they don’t lose the attention of your audience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can prompt Copilot to refine text on an individual slide in various ways, such as rewriting it in a more professional tone or making it more concise. Highlight the text inside a text box on the slide. On the toolbar that appears over the highlighted text, click <em>Edit with Copilot</em>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the menu that opens, you can select a preset prompt to refine the text, such as <em>Condense</em> or <em>Make professional</em>. Or, at the top of this menu, you can type a prompt to rewrite the highlighted text.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-07-refine-slide-text-options-menu.png" alt="screenshot of text on a powerpoint slide with copilot dropdown menu includng condense and make professional options" class="wp-image-4195066" width="960" height="690" sizes="auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Choose a preset prompt for refining text on a slide or type in your own prompt.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Note that this feature affects all the text inside the text box. To rewrite only a portion of text inside a text box, you must split that portion out into a separate text box.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alternatively, you can prompt Copilot to analyze your entire presentation and tighten up the wording throughout all of its slides. For example:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Make these slides more visual and use less text.</em></li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Find or create an image</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you have Copilot generate a presentation from an existing Word document that contains images, it will incorporate those images into the presentation. If there are no images in the source document, you can ask Copilot to find or create one and add it to a slide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To add a stock image or an image from your organization’s brand library, tell Copilot what you’re looking for:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Add a stock photo of young adults in a cafe drinking boba tea.</em></li>



<li><em>Add a photo from our asset library of young adults in a cafe drinking boba tea.</em></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To have Copilot create an image using Microsoft’s Designer image generation tool, describe your desired image. As always, specificity is helpful:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Create a photorealistic image of a diverse group of 5 or 6 fashionable young adults sitting in a cafe drinking boba tea. They’re smiling or laughing, and some are looking at their phones.</em></li>
</ul>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-08-generate-image.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of image generation prompt in copilot sidebar in powerpoint plus the resulting generated image on a slide" class="wp-image-4195097" width="1024" height="594" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Copilot in PowerPoint hooks into Microsoft’s Designer tool for image generation.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Just as you need to review any text output from Copilot, take a close look at generated images to be sure nothing looks off. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also note that Copilot image generation isn’t always reliable in PowerPoint. For some time during our testing for this story, Copilot said it couldn’t create an image because “the image generation service is returning a server error on every attempt.” After about a day and a half, the service began working again.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>6. Expand your presentation with relevant slides</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you’re building your presentation, you may find that it’s become text heavy. Or perhaps it could use more visually oriented slides to break things up and make its progression flow better. Copilot can generate and insert new slides that are based on the content of the slides already in the presentation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the Copilot pane, specify exactly where you want the new slide to go. This helps Copilot to analyze the content of the slides before and after where you want the new slide. Then it can generate a slide to bridge between the two slides. Examples:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Add a slide after slide 3 about our competitive advantages.</em></li>



<li><em>Add a slide after slide 11 that transitions to slide 12.</em></li>
</ul>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-09-generated-transition-slide.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of powerpoint screen with copilot sidebar and a transition slide generated by copilot" class="wp-image-4195094" width="1024" height="576" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Need a transition slide? Just ask!</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Summarize a presentation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Maybe you need a quick refresh of your presentation before an important meeting. Or maybe a co-worker has sent you a presentation that’s packed with lots of slides. You can prompt Copilot to generate a summary of the presentation’s overall messaging.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the Copilot pane, just type “<em>summarize this presentation</em>.” You can also have Copilot flag key slides that contain important information: “<em>show me key slides</em>.”</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-10-summarize-key-slides.png?w=1024" alt="screenshots of copilot sidebar in powerpoint - one with summarize results and one with key slides response" class="wp-image-4195095" width="1024" height="774" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Ask Copilot to summarize a presentation or flag key slides.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>8. Answer questions about a presentation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you’re reviewing a presentation, especially one that you didn’t create and are not familiar with, you can get Copilot to pull key data points from its slides.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the Copilot pane, type specific informational questions. Examples:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>What are the action items in this deck?</em></li>



<li><em>What is the proposed budget mentioned here?</em></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If Copilot can’t find the exact answer to the question you ask, it will provide related information from the presentation.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-11-ask-questions-about-presentation.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of copilot sidebar in powerpoint with response to query about proposed budget in the slide deck" class="wp-image-4195093" width="1024" height="760" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Ask Copilot specific questions about the contents of a presentation.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This method can also help you validate that your presentation includes everything you want it to. If you ask Copilot about the action items in a presentation and it can’t find any, you know you need to add them. (Copilot will likely offer to generate them for you based on the rest of the slides.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can even take this tactic a step further and ask Copilot if the presentation is missing any important data, if any slides are weak or confusing, if there are any awkward transitions, if there are key points that should be better emphasized, and so on.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>9. Help you navigate a large presentation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the business world, presentations with dozens of slides are not uncommon, such as for financial reports or project documentation. Trying to find a specific slide or multiple slides can be tough. Copilot can help you navigate such a presentation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the Copilot pane, prompt Copilot to find slides based on specific topics. Example:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Show me the slides about the project timeline.</em></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Copilot will analyze the presentation and reply with a list of links to the relevant slides. Click one of these to jump directly to that slide.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-12-navigate-presentation.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of copilot sidebar in powerpoint with response about the slide that talks about target audience" class="wp-image-4195096" width="1024" height="760" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Copilot can help you zoom directly to a slide that covers a particular topic or shows specific data.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>10. Generate speaker notes and/or an FAQ</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here’s a great timesaver when you’re preparing to show your presentation to an audience: Copilot can automatically generate suggested speaker notes for you, based on the content of your slides. Example prompt:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Write speaker notes for every slide with one talking point per slide.</em></li>
</ul>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-13-speaker-notes.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of powerpoint presentation with speaker notes generated by copilot" class="wp-image-4195092" width="1024" height="607" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Copilot can create speaker notes in seconds.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Howard Wen / Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In a related feature, Copilot can create a frequently asked questions list (FAQ) for you to consult in your speaker notes or to present as a slide:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><em>Write an FAQ for these slides.</em></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Copilot will ask where you want the questions and answers added — as a new slide at the end, integrated into the speaker notes of relevant slides, or somewhere else that you designate. Make a selection, and Copilot will generate the FAQ based on the content of your presentation.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/copilot-in-powerpoint-14-generated-faq-slide.png?w=1024" alt="screenshot of frequently asked questions slide generated by copilot in powerpoint" class="wp-image-4195091" width="1024" height="609" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>A Copilot-generated FAQ slide.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here in this high-tech era of 2026, keeping important info backed up and synced <em>should </em>be effortless and something that just happens on its own, automatically, without any actual thought or ongoing human effort.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In many areas of our digital life, that mercifully does Just Work™ in exactly that way. Fire up an email in most modern mail services, and you can stop at any point and find your in-progress draft in that same app on any other device. The same applies to any file you’re finessing within Google Drive or other cloud storage services or document you’re dawdling over in Docs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One area where seamless syncing somehow still <em>doesn’t</em> occur, though, is in the domain of <em>downloaded </em>documents on Android. If someone sends you a PDF or a Word file and you save it to your phone, that file exists in an archaic-seeming silo — only locally, on <em>that</em> one gadget. And that, of course, means (a) you can’t access it from any other device, and (b) if you misplace your phone or move into a new one at some point along the way, the file will be left behind in time and entirely unavailable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Well, take a moment to join me in celebration: Amidst all the <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4136922/google-gemini-3-years.html">Gemini gobbledegook</a> that <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/2117752/google-gemini-ai.html">no one asked for</a> (and that often falls somewhere between <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4182583/ai-creepy-era.html">“pointless”</a> and <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/3990497/google-gemini-deceit.html">“actively counterproductive”</a>), Google’s giving us a major upgrade to Android’s backup capabilities right now. It’s a simple-seeming switch buried in your system settings, and it’s up to <em>you</em> to find and activate it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once you do, though, those once-orphaned documents on your Android device’s local storage will be perpetually synced and protected, automatically, without any ongoing thought or effort.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All <em>you’ve </em>gotta do is find and flip that one new switch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>[Don’t let yourself miss an ounce of Android Intelligence. </strong><a href="https://www.theintelligence.com/android-cw/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Join my free weekly Android Intelligence newsletter</strong></a><strong> and get one new thing to try in your inbox every Friday!]</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Android backup lowdown</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, for a quick bit of pertinent context on this: Android’s backup systems have actually come a really long way over the years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‘Twas a time, y’see, when little to nothing about you would sync and carry over automatically from one Android device to another. Years ago — back in the ancient-seeming prehistoric era of the early 2010s — Android enthusiasts in the know would rely on community-created third-party apps for everything from remembering and resyncing downloaded apps to restoring data from within those apps and onward. And reconfiguring your system preferences would be a whole time-consuming song and dance every single time you reset a device or moved into a new one, as little to nothing would automatically carry over.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most of that stuff is now effortless and automatic. And, thanks to apps like Google Messages, Calendar, Drive, and Docs, many <em>other </em>areas of important data are also synced on their own at the app level — outside of any system mechanisms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Locally stored files, however, have remained an awkward omission. To this day, anything you download on any Android device exists only on <em>that</em> <em>one device </em>and isn’t synced or backed up anywhere. The only way that happens is — in a blast-from-the-past twist — if <em>you </em>go out of your way to <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1711741/how-to-back-up-android-phones-complete-guide.html#:~:text=a%20new%20one.-,Files,-The%20easiest%20way">find and set up a third-party app to handle the heavy lifting</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That brings us to today. Right now, as we speak, Google’s in the midst of sending out a quiet under-the-hood update that (brace yourself…) adds in the option to automatically sync and back up any documents on your device as a native part of Android’s backup setup.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">See?</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/android-backup-documents.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Android backup documents" class="wp-image-4198961" width="1024" height="546" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The easily overlooked new option for backing up documents on Android.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">JR Raphael, Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The option is on its way to all devices running 2018’s <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1698598/android-9-pie.html">Android 9 release</a> and higher. (If you’re still using a phone with an <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1714347/android-versions-a-living-history-from-1-0-to-today.html">Android version</a> older than that, you’re now a whopping <em>eight years </em>out of date, and you have <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1718016/android-upgrades-matter.html"><em>much</em> bigger problems</a>.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once the added option is present and available for you, you’re literally lookin’ at 10 seconds to find and activate it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lemme show ya how.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Android’s document backup addition</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I promise: This couldn’t be much simpler.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">No matter what kind of Android device is in front of you, just head into your system settings and open the section called “Accounts and backup,” “Back up or copy data,” or something along those same lines. (The exact wording can vary based on who made your device and when it was released or last updated.)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Either tap the line labeled “Google Backup” or look for an option to “Back up data” via Google Drive. You should then either see a series of options for different areas of available backup right then and there — or, depending on your device, you might have to tap a line labeled “Other device data” (or something similar) to find the full list of possibilities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However you get there, once you’re lookin’ at that list, you’ll see a newly added line for “Documents” if this latest under-the-hood update has reached you.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/android-backup-options.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Android backup options" class="wp-image-4198962" width="1024" height="742" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Android’s expanded list of backup options — now including documents alongside other forms of on-device data.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">JR Raphael, Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And from there, all that’s left is to tap it and enable the switch to include that in your automated backups from that moment forward.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you aren’t seeing the option yet, don’t panic. Google always sends these under-the-hood updates out bit by bit over time, so the change probably just hasn’t reached your device quite yet. As long as you’re running Android 9 or higher, it’ll get there. Set yourself a reminder to check back once a week or so. Odds are, you’ll see it pretty soon.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Notably, all documents synced in this way are always encrypted for security, and they’re kept in your personal (or, depending on the nature of your account, perhaps company-connected) Google Drive storage. That <em>does</em> mean they’ll count against your overall Google storage total, so keep an eye on your <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/quota" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Drive storage total</a> to make sure you’re in solid shape and look to the <a href="https://one.google.com/storage/management?from=1&amp;g1_landing_page=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google One storage hub</a> if you ever want some simple suggestions for freeing up space.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Speaking of other Google services: If you ever want to keep <em>other</em> types of locally stored <em>non</em>-document files from an Android device synced and available elsewhere, you can easily rely on <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1711741/how-to-back-up-android-phones-complete-guide.html#:~:text=in-app%20upgrade.-,Photos%20and%20music,-OK%2C%20so%20they">Google Photos for syncing screenshots and other images</a> — after enabling sync in general, be sure to look in the app’s “Collections” areas to find the “On this device” folder and then flip the toggle to “Backup all device folders” (or get more nuanced and open specific <em>individual </em>on-device folders if you want to sync some but not all of those areas) — and you can still turn to <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/1711741/how-to-back-up-android-phones-complete-guide.html#:~:text=a%20new%20one.-,Files,-The%20easiest%20way">those aforementioned third-party apps</a> for broader syncing of anything else imaginable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But with documents now being handled automatically and natively, that’s one big worry now out of your hair. Just note that the onus will fall on <em>you </em>to find and flip the switch and actively opt in to the feature on each and every Android device you’re using.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Take 10 seconds to do that, though, and you’ll have one less void in your Android data arena. And you don’t need Gemini to tell you that <em>that </em>can only be a good thing.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI has launched Presence, an enterprise service for deploying voice and chat agents that can resolve customer and employee requests, potentially automating some work now handled by frontline support teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The agents can answer questions and operate IT systems, and enterprises can decide what actions the agents may take and when they should seek human approval for actions or transfer a case to a human.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI is already using Presence internally for its English-language phone support channel, where it verifies callers and uses account information to complete approved actions. The company said the system resolves 75% of inbound issues without human assistance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another OpenAI service, Codex, can be used to monitor agents and suggest updates or improvements to processes. In OpenAI’s own tests, suggestions from Codex helped reduce handoffs to humans by 15 percentage points over 10 days, it said. Presence also includes simulation and evaluation tools that allow companies to test an agent before deployment. The tests assess whether it reaches the correct outcome, follows company policy, and hands a case to an employee when required.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI intends each Presence deployment to deal with one kind of task, for example billing issues, insurance claims, or employee IT service requests, with agents getting only the knowledge and system access required for that task.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Presence is not a self-service product: Enterprises will have to sign up for the limited availability program, with integration performed by OpenAI or selected <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4136024/openai-partners-with-consulting-giants-to-deploy-enterprise-ai-agents.html">global systems integrators</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies exploring or testing Presence include Spanish bank BBVA, which is evaluating the service for everyday banking support in Mexico, and Japanese technology group SoftBank, which is using it in trials involving Japanese-language customer interactions. Australian insurer IAG is assessing whether the technology can help it respond to surges in customer demand during severe weather events.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Workforce impact</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI’s announcement did not address the potential effect of Presence on employment. But its claimed automation rate raises questions about how the technology could affect staffing in customer service and other support functions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://pareekh.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pareekh Jain</a>, CEO of Pareekh Consulting, said CIOs should regard the 75% figure as evidence that the technology can work, rather than as a benchmark that every enterprise can expect to reach.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain said OpenAI’s deployment benefits from being built around the company’s own products and data. Large enterprises may achieve lower automation rates because they must contend with fragmented legacy systems, uneven knowledge bases and more complex compliance demands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Most organizations should expect lower initial automation levels that improve over time as the AI agent is refined,” Jain said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first workforce effect is more likely to be <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4015750/cios-see-ai-prompting-new-it-hiring-even-as-boards-push-for-job-cuts.html">slower hiring than immediate layoffs</a>, according to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tulikasheel/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tulika Sheel</a>, senior vice president at Kadence International.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The roles most exposed are likely to be repetitive, high-volume functions such as frontline customer support and routine back-office processing,” Sheel said. “However, I would expect the first impact to be on hiring and team growth rather than immediate large-scale job cuts. Over time, enterprises may redesign roles around AI-assisted workflows, with humans focusing more on complex cases, escalation, and relationship management.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain said Tier-1 support agents handling predictable queries would face the most exposure. Broader reductions would become more likely only after companies reorganize their operations around the technology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, <a href="https://omdia.tech.informa.com/authors/lian-jye-su" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lian Jye Su</a>, chief analyst at Omdia, said Presence is unlikely to increase the threat of job displacement because companies have used similar customer-support automation from vendors such as Genesys, NiCE, Five9 and AWS for years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enterprises are more likely to use Presence alongside employees, with AI handling routine requests while people remain responsible for work requiring judgment and empathy, Su said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cost and operational risks</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Analysts said CIOs should examine whether Presence can maintain resolution quality as usage grows, since fewer human handoffs could leave employees dealing with a more difficult mix of cases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The key question is not simply how many tasks AI can handle, but whether it can handle them reliably at scale,” Sheel said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The financial case will depend partly on the cost of connecting Presence to existing systems and maintaining the controls needed to govern its use, according to Jain. “Often the biggest cost of enterprise AI is not tokens but <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4128310/openai-responds-to-claude-cowork-with-its-own-platform-to-help-build-deploy-and-manage-ai-agents.html">integration and governance</a>,” Jain added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies will need to determine what systems and data the agents can access, monitor their performance, and audit the actions they take. Those investments could offset early savings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Su said the complexity of enterprise IT will make it difficult for OpenAI to automate entire workflows on its own. Enterprises will still need to work with other technology providers and human employees, while CIOs will favor systems that can be audited and integrated with existing infrastructure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain said the economics could improve if companies use the same integrations and governance controls across additional workflows.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD executives took to the stage at its Advancing AI 2026 event in San Francisco today to detail the company’s next generation of AI infrastructure solutions, from Instinct MI455X AI accelerator GPUs and 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” CPUs, to Pensando networking, ROCm.AI software and its Helios rack-scale platform that ties it all together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has been working towards rack-scale AI system solutions for years. Its ZT Systems acquisition last year added valuable engineering talent and intellectual property that is now finally bearing the real fruits. Its <a href="https://www.amd.com/en/products/rackscale-solutions/helios.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Helios AI platform</a> is a major platform evolution for AMD, with shipments scheduled to begin in the second half of this year (which is here and now).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The announcements at Advancing AI show how the company has engineered its AI platform solutions for large reasoning models, sustained inference and agentic workflows. These workloads pressure memory capacity, data movement, networking and CPU orchestration. AMD’s approach is to keep as much data close to the compute engines as possible and move it more efficiently throughout the system, but there’s deeper nuance here that’s obvious versus AMD’s chief rival, NVIDIA.  </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD’s MI455X targets the AI memory wall</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Instinct MI455X GPU is the compute engine that fuels the Helios rack, and the first GPU based on AMD’s new CDNA 5 architecture. Built with a modular mix of 2nm and 3nm chiplets, it carries 432GB of HBM4 and 23.3TB/s of peak memory bandwidth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Compared to AMD’s current MI355X, <a href="https://hothardware.com/news/instinct-mi400-challenge-vera-rubin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the MI455X offers</a> 1.5 times the memory capacity, up to 2.9 times the peak memory bandwidth and up to four times the peak matrix performance with MXFP4 and MXFP8 data types, which are lower-precision numerical formats designed to accelerate AI processing while reducing memory demands. With MXFP6 (6-bit floating point), performance is rated at up to twice that of MI355X.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD also shared some actual, measured internal results using production silicon. The company claims MI455X delivers 3.8 times higher FP8 decode performance, 3.5 times more measured FP4 compute performance and between 2.5 and 3.5 times more networking bandwidth than MI355X, depending on the transfer path tested. Those figures provide more context than just numerical specifications, though they remain AMD-provided comparisons that will need independent validation.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-generational-leap.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="AMD Instinct chart showing generational leap in performance" class="wp-image-4200600" width="1024" height="547" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">AMD</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The architectural choices behind the numbers are important. Reasoning models and long context windows require sizeable KV caches for maintaining AI attention states, while mixture-of-experts models frequently move large amounts of data across accelerators. MI455X should let more model data, activation states and cache remain local. New dedicated IP in hardware can transfer data while the GPU continues processing, and expanded cache and multicast capabilities are designed to reduce redundant data movement to further improve efficiency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The aforementioned lower-precision formats can also raise throughput and reduce memory use, but model developers still have to determine where they can be applied without unacceptable accuracy loss.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD’s Helios rack takes aim at Vera Rubin</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-helios-rack.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="AMD Helios rack" class="wp-image-4200601" width="1024" height="626" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Dave Altavilla</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Helios is AMD’s primary rack-scale competitor to NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform. Each liquid-cooled rack combines 72 MI455X GPUs, 18 single-socket Venice host CPUs and Pensando networking technologies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In its most complete, premium configuration, AMD rates Helios for 2.9 exaflops of low-precision AI compute, with 31TB of aggregate HBM4 capacity, 1.7PB/s of memory bandwidth, 260TB/s of bidirectional scale-up bandwidth and 43TB/s of scale-out bandwidth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These are formidable figures, but they are technical specifications rather than actual application benchmarks. The more consequential development is AMD’s move from collections of eight-GPU servers to a 72-GPU shared-memory domain. Models too large for one node can operate across the rack without treating every exchange as a scale-out networking transaction, which benefits large-model inference as well as training.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD uses UALink over Ethernet, or UALoE, for an open standard scale-up fabric. Each MI455X provides 3.6TB/s of bidirectional scale-up bandwidth, while the complete rack delivers all-to-all connectivity through a single switch layer. AMD also claims six times more scale-out bandwidth per GPU than MI355X when MI455X is configured with three Pensando Vulcano 800 AI NICs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While open standards give cloud providers more control over suppliers and system design, AMD and its partners now have to prove those components can deliver the predictable performance, reliability and deployment experience customers expect from a tightly controlled, more vertically integrated platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, AMD designed Helios with automatic rerouting around failed links, virtual rack partitions, tray-level serviceability and rack-wide power, cooling and health monitoring. Major hyperscalers and potentially large-scale enterprise customers will likely key in on these capabilities, which can affect the availability, total cost and consistency of the AI services they consume.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kind of like cowbell, AMD Venice gives agentic AI more CPU</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-epyc-venice-cpus.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Chart showing AMD EPYC CPU performance" class="wp-image-4200603" width="1024" height="515" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">AMD</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD’s agentic CPU messaging regarding its upcoming Venice-based EPYC processors is mostly marketing speak, but the underlying requirement is very real. An AI agent can invoke retrieval, databases, security checks, code execution and other tools before a GPU generates a response. Running many agents concurrently increases the amount of conventional compute requirements surrounding the accelerators.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Venice scales to 256 Zen 6 cores with support for 512 threads, 16 memory channels, up to 1GB of L3 cache per socket, along with PCIe 6.0 and CXL 3.1 connectivity. AMD is also offering several Venice configurations for other applications, including general-purpose servers, high-frequency workloads, GPU hosts and high-density CPU sandbox systems used to execute agent tools.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Treating the CPU solely as a GPU host understates its role. Gateways, tokenization, vector search, databases and short-lived code execution stress different mixes of per-core performance, thread count, memory bandwidth and I/O. Specifically, AMD’s internal testing shows Venice significantly outperforming its current EPYC 9965 Turin CPU across five parts of the agentic AI pipeline, including gateway processing, context assembly, vector search, enterprise applications and short-lived tool execution. Individual gains vary by workload, but AMD details the overall generational improvement at up to a 1.7 times lift. As with the MI455X figures though, these comparisons come from AMD and will require independent validation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pensando networking and ROCm software advance</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keeping GPUs fed with data and coordinating traffic across racks directly affects utilization and operating costs. In fact, GPU utilization is a pretty sad state of affairs currently for some of the major frontier model providers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As such, Pensando networking has become central to AMD’s roadmap. Helios can connect each MI455X to as many as three 800Gbps Vulcano AI NICs, while Salina DPUs handle front-end networking and infrastructure services.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the software side, which is an equally critical component, AMD also introduced ROCm.AI, an AI-assisted development layer due to arrive in August. It includes reusable skills for coding agents, simplified management and Hyperloom, which can profile workloads, tune serving configurations, modify kernels and validate results.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These tools address two persistent AMD challenges: developer efficiency and ease of use, and software tuning. Automated optimization still has to produce repeatable gains without creating hard-to-maintain code, however. And while ROCm has progressed significantly over the last few years, NVIDIA’s CUDA retains an advantage in maturity, tooling and developer familiarity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customer commitments underscore rack-scale confidence</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD now has commitments that give its MI450 generation and Helios considerably more weight. Meta and OpenAI have announced multi-generation agreements composed of up to 6GW of AMD compute capacity, with initial 1GW deployments planned for the second half of 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oracle plans a 50,000-GPU public cloud cluster beginning in the third quarter, while Microsoft will deploy Helios for Azure AI inference. Finally, just before the AMD event, <a href="https://ir.amd.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1292/amd-and-anthropic-announce-strategic-partnership-to-deploy-up-to-2-gigawatts-of-amd-instinct-mi450-series-gpus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthropic announced</a> a strategic partnership for up to 2 Gigawatts of AMD-fueled AI compute, with its first gigawatt expected online in the first half of 2027.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commitments of this scale reflect confidence in more than just MI455X performance. These customers are evaluating the complete architecture, including Venice CPUs, Pensando networking, ROCm software, rack integration, serviceability and AMD’s ability to deliver and execute across multiple product generations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is some financial alignment behind the agreements as well. AMD issued OpenAI performance-based warrants and committed to investing up to $5 billion in Anthropic. That context matters when evaluating these deals as market validation, but these planned deployments are substantial nonetheless and put Helios on a much stronger foundation as it begins shipping.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD expands its robotics and embedded foundation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD also expanded its physical AI portfolio, building on credible traction from its Xilinx-derived Kria adaptive system-on-modules and embedded technologies that are already powering robotics, machine vision and industrial automation applications.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Ryzen AI Embedded X100 combines up to 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, integrated Radeon graphics, a second-generation NPU and as much as 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory shared across its compute engines. To me this looks a lot like a repackaging and optimization of the company’s Strix Halo platform, but with specific optimizations for the embedded space. Regardless, AMD is pairing X100 with the Kria AI Robotics Developer Platform, which includes a System Module or SOM, and a new Robotics Partner Network spanning hardware, software and platform providers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Samples began shipping in June, with full production expected in the fourth quarter. This broader objective is to give developers a path across AMD x86 CPUs, GPUs, NPUs and FPGAs for real-time autonomous systems, rather than requiring them to assemble those hardware engines and software components independently.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Execution for AMD is now the test</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has assembled a credible platform for the burgeoning agentic AI market that’s blowing up currently with no signs of stopping. MI455X addresses memory and data movement, Venice handles dense agentic CPU workloads, Pensando networking connects global system resources, and ROCm.AI addresses software complexity. Finally, Helios assembles these components into a true competitive threat for NVIDIA’s latest Vera Rubin platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD’s open architecture may appeal to customers seeking supplier choice, but openness must also translate into reliable deployments, competitive total cost and software that does not require a significant rip-up. NVIDIA enters this cycle with a stronger ecosystem and far more rack-scale deployment experience. The true test will be how easily and reliably customers can integrate, operate and maintain these AMD solutions at scale.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As it stands, AMD now has major customers and a clearly defined architecture with systems engineering expertise behind it. Delivering Helios on schedule and showing that its performance claims translate into a real production workload throughput advantage and total cost of ownership gains will determine how much the competitive gap narrows. And of course, this is in a market that is clamoring for ever-more compute resources with a seemingly insatiable demand for AI services and capacity. That’s an environment for big iron success. Now AMD just has to deliver optimized, turnkey AI platforms. This is far easier said than done, but time will soon tell as deployments take shape this year.</p>

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traditional phishing techniques are in decline as a result of the <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4140890/microsoft-leads-takedown-of-tycoon2fa-phishing-service-infrastructure.html">disruption of the Tycoon2FA phishing-as-a-service (PHaaS) platform</a>, Microsoft said in a new report, “Email threat landscape: Q2 2026 trends and insights”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Phishing volume linked to the platform fell 92% from pre-disruption averages, including QR code phishing and CAPTCHA-gated phishing both declining from their March highs,” the company wrote in <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/07/23/email-threat-landscape-q2-2026-trends-and-insights/">the report</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The takedown reduced activity across multiple phishing categories, forcing attackers to shift to newer delivery methods.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Riding this shift in were a few notable phishing campaigns, including an automated <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/575559/business-email-compromise-scams-take-new-dimension-with-multi-stage-attacks.html">business email compromise</a> (BEC) campaign that reached 42,000 organizations in under three hours, and a multi-stage phishing campaign that used nested email (EML) files, calendar invitations, and a Microsoft authentication redirect to deliver malware.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To counter phishing attacks, Microsoft recommends blocking emails containing known bad URLs/ subject fields, enabling password-less authentication methods, or moving to <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4176814/security-experts-caution-mfa-alone-can-no-longer-stop-threat-actors.html">MFA</a> for accounts that still require passwords.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tycoon2FA disruption sent attackers exploring</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The take-down of <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4100393/hybrid-2fa-phishing-kits-are-making-attacks-harder-to-detect.html">Tycoon2FA</a> forced its operators to abandon portions of their infrastructure and rework hosting, domain registrations, and delivery mechanisms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“After falling 15% in March and another 22% in April, Tycoon2FA-linked phishing volume dropped 74% in May to just 1.5 million messages, then fell another 20% in June to 1.2 million, by far the lowest monthly volumes observed in at least a year,” Microsoft said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The decline extended to QR Code <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3557585/attackers-are-using-qr-codes-sneakily-crafted-in-ascii-and-blob-urls-in-phishing-emails.html">lures</a> and fake CAPTCHA <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3829416/fake-captcha-attacks-are-increasing-say-experts.html">pages</a>, two phishing techniques in which Tycoon2FA accounted for 12% and 14% of industry activity in June, respectively. This indicated that the platform’s customer base had not been able to migrate to a replacement infrastructure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But cutting off one head of the hacker hydra only gave rise to new tactics elsewhere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The adaptation came in the form of using Microsoft <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4160858/attackers-abuse-microsoft-teams-to-impersonate-the-it-helpdesk-in-a-new-enterprise-intrusion-playbook.html">Teams as a social engineering channel</a>. Attackers established conversations to build trust before attempting credential theft or delivering malicious payloads. “Teams-based phishing volume climbed steadily throughout Q2, with the average number of detected attacks rising 19% from March to April, holding roughly flat into May (+1%), then increasing another 10% into June,” Microsoft said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft also observed a highly automated BEC campaign that reached over 67,000 users using scripted emails, Amazon Simple Email Service (SES), and engagement tracking, alongside a separate phishing campaign targeting 107,000 users that abused Microsoft’s authentication flow and trusted cloud services, including Teams archive recording and ICS calendar invite, to disguise malware delivery behind legitimate infrastructure.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Phishing changes but the defense doesn’t</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While QR Code and Captcha-based phishing attacks dropped significantly in the second quarter, business email compromise (BEC) charted jumped 121% between March and April, before dropping down again in May.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">QR Code phishing represented 8.3 million attacks in June 2026, down from a peak of 18.7 million in March. Similarly, Captcha-gated phishing fell from 12 million attacks in March to 2.2 million in June.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BEC attacks hit 9 million in March, falling to 3.9 million in June.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But even as these phishing classics lost momentum and newer techniques emerged, Microsoft’s defensive advice remained rooted in the basics. It noted organizations should complement email filtering with phishing-resistant authentication such as passkeys and phishing-resistant <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3535222/mfa-adoption-is-catching-up-but-is-not-quite-there.html">MFA</a> to reduce the effectiveness of credential theft campaigns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company also recommended strengthening Exchange Online Protection and Microsoft Defender for Office 365 with capabilities such as Safe links and Zero-hour Auto Purge (ZAP), in which malicious emails already delivered to mailboxes are removed before they are read, alongside enforcing password-less authentication methods like Windows Hello, <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4040128/fido-undermined.html">FIDO </a>keys, and Microsoft Authenticator.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft concluded its report with a list of indicators of compromise (IoCs) from the threats observed in the quarter to support detection efforts.</p>

  <p class="">The obvious priority this month is the patch for Commerce, with its 15 bugs and deployment priority of 2. The Connect fix should also rank up there since both of its CVEs are CVSS 9s. Beyond those, it’s a pretty typical month for Adobe, with most of the bugs either being cross-site scripting (XSS) or open-and-own code executions.</p><p class=""><strong>Microsoft Patches for May 2026</strong></p><p class="">This month, Microsoft released a whopping 138 new CVEs in Windows and Windows components, Office and Office Components, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Azure, .NET and Visual Studio, Copilot Chat, Github Copilot, M365 Copilot, SQL Server, TCP/IP, and the Telnet Client – yes, the Telnet client. Two of these bugs were reported through the TrendAI ZDI program. 30 of these bugs are rated Critical, three are rated as Moderate, one is rated Low, and the rest are rated Important in severity.</p><p class="">This large volume of fixes follows the largest monthly release in Microsoft’s history and reflects the trend across the industry of a high number of submissions. While not all of these bugs were found by AI, it’s likely they had an AI-related component – even if it was just AI writing the submission. I should also point out the Pwn2Own Berlin occurs in just a few days, and it’s typical for vendors to patch as much as they can before the event.</p><p class="">None of the bugs patched by Microsoft this month are listed as publicly known or under active attack at the time of release, so we’ve got that going for us. Let’s take a closer look at some of the more interesting updates for this month, starting with a nasty-looking bug in DNS:</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-41096"><strong>CVE-2026-41096</strong></a><strong> - Windows DNS Client Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>This patch fixes a heap-based buffer overflow in the DNS Client triggered by a malicious DNS response. No authentication or user interaction needed, and since the DNS Client runs on virtually every Windows machine, the attack surface is enormous. An attacker with a position to influence DNS responses (MitM, rogue server) could achieve unauthenticated RCE across your enterprise.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-41089"><strong>CVE-2026-41089</strong></a><strong> - Windows Netlogon Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>This update covers another CVSS 9.8 bug, which is a stack-based buffer overflow that lets an unauthenticated remote attacker execute code on a domain controller by sending a specially crafted network request — no credentials, no user interaction required. Yup – that makes it wormable. This is the highest-impact bug that requires immediate patching: a compromised domain controller is a compromised domain.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-42898"><strong>CVE-2026-42898</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Dynamics 365 On-Premises Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>This bug rates a CVSS 9.9(!) and represents a code injection in Dynamics 365. It allows any authenticated user to execute code with a scope change, meaning exploitation can break out and affect resources beyond the vulnerable component itself. Scope changes are pretty rare, so if you’re running Dynamics 365 On-Prem, definitely test and deploy this patch quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-40415"><strong>CVE-2026-40415</strong></a><strong> - Windows TCP/IP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>This bug in the TCP/IP stack results from a use-after-free (UAF) and could allow a remote, unauthenticated threat actor to execute code without user interaction. That makes this another wormable bug. However, this one is much less likely to be exploited. The target needs to be under sustained low-memory (memory pressure) conditions, which is pretty rare. Still, no need to tempt fate here. Test and deploy this one quickly.</p><p class="">Here’s the full list of CVEs released by Microsoft for May 2026:</p>

  <p class=""><em>* Indicates this CVE had been released by a third party and is now being included in Microsoft releases</em>.</p><p class=""><em>† Indicates further administrative actions are required to fully address the vulnerability.</em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class="">Looking at the other Critical-rated bugs in this month’s release, there are quite a few scary-looking bugs (including a CVSS 10!), but there’s no action for the end user as Microsoft has already mitigated these bugs and is just now documenting them. There’s also this month’s crop of Office bugs where the Preview Pane is an attack vector. However, the bug in Office for Android does not have the Preview Pane vector; it’s simple open and own. The bug in the WiFi driver needs a network adjacent attacker. The SharePoint bug requires authentication, but anyone with site privileges has the authentication needed. The bug in SSO Plugin for Jira &amp; Confluence should really be called an authentication bypass, since it allows an unauthenticated attacker to gain access to a system.</p><p class="">Looking at the other code execution bugs, most are of the open and own variety as expected. The bug in Dynamic 365 (On Prem) requires high privileges. The Message Queueing bug requires an adjacent attacker. The bug in SQL Server requires authentication, but as usual, patching won’t be straightforward. Finally, there’s a bug in the kernel that leads to code execution. Most kernel bugs are privilege escalations, but this one could allow code execution if an attacker sends specially crafted NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe‑oF) response messages during the connection handshake process that contains an invalid header length value. Neat.</p><p class="">As usual, the vast majority of the Microsoft release fixes Elevation of Privilege (EoP) bugs. Also as usual, most simply lead to local attackers executing their code at SYSTEM-level privileges or administrative privileges, so there’s not much to add without further technical details about the bugs themselves. There are also a few bugs that just state the attacker could “gain ELEVATED privileges.” How obtuse. The bugs in Azure allow an attacker to access data otherwise hidden from them. The Edge bug allows threat actors to elevate to the privileges of the running application. The bug in Visual Studio allows attackers to get permissions associated with the MCP Server’s managed identity. Finally, there are a couple of sandbox escapes, too, which are always useful.</p><p class="">This month's update includes six Security Feature Bypass vulnerabilities. The most severe is in the Azure SDK for Java (CVSS 9.1). An attacker over the network can bypass the integrity protection provided by authentication tags on encrypted data, effectively manipulating encrypted input in a way that slips past integrity checks during decryption.  Close behind is the bypass affecting the GitHub Copilot integration in Visual Studio Code (CWE-74). This one requires a user interaction, but it allows an attacker to circumvent the path validation safeguards that normally control which files Copilot is permitted to modify. The other Visual Studio Code bypass involves cross-site scripting, improper link resolution, and information exposure triggered when a user opens or views a maliciously crafted notebook.  On the Windows networking side there are two bypasses. The first hits the Windows TCP/IP driver via an authentication bypass using an alternate channel. The other impacts the Windows Filtering Platform through improper access control, allowing a local, low-privileged attacker to bypass FQDN-based network security rules. Finally, there’s a Secure Boot bypass that, you guessed it, bypasses secure boot features.</p><p class="">Moving on to the Information Disclosure bugs fixed this month, we have 15 different CVEs. As usual, the majority of these simply result in info leaks consisting of unspecified memory contents or memory addresses. The bug in Power Automate could expose data marked “Sensitive” within Power Automate Desktop flows. One of the Word bugs could disclose NLTM hashes. The bug in Edge could disclose your cookies, which seems rude. The bug in Visual Studio could expose file path information. Finally, there’s a bug in Telnet for Windows 11 that leaks information being used by Telnet at the time. I didn’t even realize Windows 11 still had a telnet client.</p><p class="">The May release contains 10 spoofing bugs (plus the ones already addressed by Microsoft). The bug in Azure Machine Learning Notebooks vulnerability requires user interaction, but it could expose info through the Azure ML web interface to the attacker. There’s a cluster of fixes for Microsoft's mobile Office suite on Android. Excel, Word, and PowerPoint for Android all carry spoofing flaws rooted in improper access control. Two Copilot products are also affected by spoofing vulns. The M365 Copilot for Desktop has no details provided. The M365 Copilot for Android variant requires low privileges and producing only limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. Microsoft Teams for Android rounds out the mobile app spoofing bugs. Three Edge bugs close things out, all involving misrepresentation of information in the browser UI. </p><p class="">There are two Tampering bugs in this month’s release. The one in .NET Core allows threat actors to write files to an affected system. The other is in Outlook for iOS and manifests as a command injection bug.</p><p class="">There are eight DoS bugs in the May release, but as always, Microsoft provides little to no actionable information about the vulnerabilities. The most interesting from a practical standpoint are two TCP/IP bugs that allow a low-privilege Hyper-V guest to crash the host. Both are triggered from the adjacent network. On the broader network-exposure side, the ASP.NET Core bug is a straightforward infinite loop condition — an unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted request over the network and the server stops responding.</p><p class="">No new advisories are being released this month.</p><p class=""><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p><p class="">Assuming I survive Pwn2Own Berlin (which is looking iffy at the moment), I’ll return on June 9th on what will hopefully be a smaller release than this one. Until then, stay safe, happy patching, and may all your reboots be smooth and clean!</p>]]></content:encoded>

  <p class="">Obviously, the update for Campaign Classic should be on the top of your deployment list if you’re a user. A CVSS 10 is rare; two in the same bulletin is pretty much a unicorn. Adobe says there are no active attacks, but I would expect heavy research into creating one. The update for Coldfusion is also a Priority 1, but again, no known attacks is the wild. I suspect the Reader patch will also receive a lot of attention as malicious PDFs are common in ransomware attacks. The update for Experience Manager may be large, but it’s mostly just cross-site scripting (XSS) bugs.</p><p class=""><strong>Microsoft Patches for June 2026</strong></p><p class="">This month, Microsoft released a new record 208 CVEs Windows and Windows components, Office and Office Components, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Azure, .NET and Visual Studio, Github Copilot, Defender, Exchange Server, Hyper-V, Secure Boot, and BitLocker. At least, that’s my count. Microsoft’s tools seem to be having some issues, as they initially included a CVE from 2020 in this release. Regardless, the count is over 200, and I counted several times.</p><p class="">One of these bugs came through the ZDI program, but bugs submitted during Pwn2Own Berlin remain unpatched. If you include the Chromium and other third-party bugs, the total CVE count for June comes to a staggering 571 CVEs. 38 of these cases are rated Critical while the rest are rated Important in severity.</p><p class="">I’ve been counting CVEs on Patch Tuesday since 2017, and this is by far the largest monthly release in that time. The previous record was 177 set last year. It is extraordinary that Microsoft can produce so many patches in a single month, but it does raise concerns. How many of these cases were found using AI tools? How many patches were generated using AI to assist in coding or testing? What quality issues may exist in these patches? And likely most importantly, is this the new normal? The last two months were also large releases. Should sysadmins adjust their processes for prioritization and patch deployment based on this new volume of updates? Unfortunately, Microsoft is not providing those answers right now. Hopefully that changes in the future. BTW – just a note – the current number of CVEs shipped by Microsoft this year exceeds the total number of CVEs shipped in all of 2018.</p><p class="">One of the bugs patched by Microsoft this month is listed as under active exploitation and three others are listed as publicly known at the time of release. Let’s take a closer look at some of the more interesting updates for this month, starting with the bug being exploited in the wild.</p><p class="">-   <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-41091"><strong>CVE-2026-41091</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Defender Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>Since Microsoft doesn’t provide info on how widespread exploitation is, we must read some tea leaves. For this patch, several different people were acknowledged, which indicates multiple parties say this is in the wild, meaning exploitation is likely significant. The good news is that most people won’t need to take action as Defender updates itself. However, if you don’t have this configured or are in an isolated environment, you’ll need to update to the latest version.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-45657"><strong>CVE-2026-45657</strong></a><strong> - Windows Kernel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>This CVSS 9.8 bug allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute code at SYSTEM level without user interaction. Yup – this is wormable. The problem lies in the way the kernel handles TCP/IP. This was listed as “Exploitation Less Likely” by Microsoft, but rest assured that every researcher and bug shop on the planet is reversing this patch right now trying to create an exploit. Test and deploy this patch quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-47291"><strong>CVE-2026-47291</strong></a><strong> - HTTP.sys Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>Our second CVSS 9.8 bug of the month, this also allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute code on affected systems without user interaction. However, there is a caveat. Systems using the default MaxRequestBytes registry value used by the Windows HTTP stack are not affected by this bug. You can edit your registry settings if you need protection while you test and deploy the patch. The bulletin includes instructions and even a PowerShell script for doing this action. Microsoft lists this as “Exploitation more likely”, so I would definitely check your registry settings.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-44815"><strong>CVE-2026-44815</strong></a><strong> - DHCP Client Service Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>Here’s another CVSS 9.8 that has an odd incongruity. Although the CVSS says no permissions are required for exploitation, the write-up states it must be an “authenticated” user. I would err on the side of caution here and believe the CVSS. If that’s correct, then we have another bug where a remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute code on affected systems without user interaction. And since the DHCP client is on every OS, it’s a juicy target. This is another one to test and deploy with haste.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-45585"><strong>CVE-2026-45585</strong></a><strong>/</strong><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50507"><strong>CVE-2026-50507</strong></a><strong> - Windows BitLocker Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability<br></strong>If you’ve followed the ongoing saga of Nightmare Eclipse vs. MSRC, the bugs should look familiar. One is definitely a fix for “YellowKey”, while the other appears to be a fix for “GreenPlasma”. The researcher has promised a “<a href="https://www.theregister.com/security/2026/05/28/microsoft-0-day-feud-escalates-as-researcher-threatens-another-windows-exploit-dump/5248085">bone shattering</a>” drop on June 14, so let’s hope Microsoft is able to reach some understanding with the researcher before more 0-days are released. Also, there is a script provided by Microsoft as a mitigation, but the better strategy is to test and deploy the updates.</p><p class=""> Here’s the full list of CVEs released by Microsoft for June 2026:</p>

  <p class=""><em>* Indicates this CVE had been released by a third party and is now being included in Microsoft releases</em>.</p><p class=""><em>† Indicates further administrative actions are required to fully address the vulnerability.</em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class="">Looking at the other Critical-rated bugs in this release, the scariest-looking one is actually nothing to concern yourself with at all. The CVSS 10 bug in Azure HorizonDB has already been addressed by Microsoft and is just being documented now. That’s also the case for five others. Of course, there wouldn’t be a release without Office bugs that have the Preview Pane as an attack vector. There are multiple in June. There’s a handful of bugs in the Remote Desktop Client, but these rely on connecting to a malicious RDP server. There are three patches for Hyper-V that allow for guest-to-host code execution. The bug in Active Directory requires authentication, but any authenticated user can hit it. For the Windows Directory Service vulnerability, it needs to be listening for TFTP. You have blocked that everywhere, right? The bug in Azure Network Adapter is somewhat unique as you need to update your Linux kernel to be protected. The bug in Azure Kubernetes allows an attacker to break out of a container and gain control of the AKS worker node. Finally, the bug in the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) seems unlikely, but if exploited, it could allow authenticated attackers to get code execution on affected systems.</p><p class="">Moving on to the other code execution bugs, there are the ubiquitous open-an-own bugs in Office components like Excel and Word. The code injection bug in Exchange Server looks troubling, but it requires a machine-in-the-middle (MiTM), so exploitation is unlikely. The bugs in SharePoint require authentication, but you should note that the patch applies to both SharePoint Server 2016 and SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016. The two bugs in UPnP are interesting. Both can lead to code execution by causing an error during the handling of specially crafted data, which could lead to a Use After Free (UAF) bug. The bugs in RDP Client all require connecting to a malicious RDP server, but it’s not clear why some are rated Critical and some are rated Important. The NTFS vulnerability requires a user to mount a virtual hard drive on an affected system. The last RCE bug this month is in Azure Stack Edge and requires the attacker to send a specially crafted file upload request that includes a manipulated file name or path, leading to code execution.</p><p class="">There are more than 60 Elevation of Privilege (EoP) bugs in this month’s release, and as usual, most simply lead to local attackers executing their code at SYSTEM-level privileges or administrative privileges, so there’s not much to add without further technical details about the bugs themselves. A notable exception is in Exchange Server, where a user on Outlook Web Access (OWA) could gain access to other mailboxes. The bug in Visual Studio Code could allow attackers to gain permissions associated with the MCP Server’s managed identity. The bugs in Windows SDK and Windows UI Automation Manager could let attacker go from low integrity up to medium integrity code execution. The bug in Bluetooth just allows “elevated” privileges without really describing what elevated might be. </p><p class="">Moving on to the more than 20 security feature bypass (SFB) bugs in the June release, there are a total of 10 that impact Secure Boot. All carry scope change (S:C) in the CVSS, meaning successful exploitation affects security boundaries beyond the vulnerable component itself — specifically the ability to load untrusted code at boot, bypass Virtual Secure Mode, and undermine boot integrity guarantees. CVE-2026-45654 explicitly calls out VSM exposure. The bulk of these are credited to Alon Leviev (STORM), which is notable given his prior BootKitty/BlackLotus-adjacent research. The bugs in the Windows Boot Manager have a similar impact as the Secure Boot bugs. The UEFI Secure Boot vulnerabilities go a layer deeper. They require either local admin or physical access but could allow for the running of untrusted code even before the OS loads. Rootkits anyone? The four bugs in BitLocker all require physical access but could yield encrypted data if exploited. The bug in Windows Administration Protection allows attackers to bypass the feature that prevents standard-user apps from performing admin-level actions. The bug in Visual Studio Copilot Chat could be the most interesting non-boot bug here as it allows authentication impersonation. Mark of the Web (MotW) and Excel vulns could bypass user warnings. Lastly, the bug in PC Manager bypasses expected user controls. </p><p class="">Turning our attention to the mass of spoofing bugs in the release, we instantly see 18 impacting SharePoint Server. Fortunately, these are simply cross-site scripting (XSS) bugs. It’s the Exchange bugs we should really watch for. One is an XSS that an attacker can exploit by convincing an Exchange administrator to open a malicious link or message, which then runs code in the admin's web session. That's a meaningful privilege escalation path. Another is listed as an SSRF-based attack, but no other details are available. The last is a lower-impact XSS with limited confidentiality/integrity loss. The bug in Bing Search (remember Bing?) is a classic search result spoofing. The bug in Azure Stack Edge is interesting as it could allow access to resources outside the vulnerable component's security boundary. The bug in Office for Android requires user interaction. The Office Project Server bug is an authenticated XSS with low impact. The final spoofing bug is in Azure Attestation but has already been addressed. You should still verify you are protected by following the instructions in the write-up from Microsoft.</p><p class="">There are 30 different information disclosure bugs in this release, and fortunately, the vast majority of these simply result in info leaks consisting of unspecified memory contents or memory addresses. The two bugs in Visual Studio require user interaction and could “disclose information over a network.” How obtuse. The bug in GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code could disclose discloses a sign-in access token for a user's work account. That's a meaningful credential exposure, not just random memory. That leaves the two bugs in Exchange Server. One could allow an authenticated user to gain information about which network services that the Exchange server can reach. The other sounds much like the spoofing bug in OWA as it allows attackers to see information in mailboxes they should not have access to.</p><p class="">I’ve never been a fan of the “tampering” category, as it could mean so many different things. For example, the bug in .NET simply says it could allow an unauthorized attacker to perform tampering locally. Similarly, the bug in Visual Studio says the same, expect here the tampering occurs over a network. Microsoft doesn’t even bother with a CWE for the tampering bug in the DHCP Server, so your guess is as good as mine.</p><p class="">There are seven DoS bugs in the June release, and as usual, Microsoft provides little to no actionable information about the vulnerabilities. The most interesting is the bug in HTTP.sys, which is listed as publicly known. This is an uncontrolled resource consumption, rated "Exploitation More Likely," and publicly disclosed. Since, HTTP.sys sits at the core of IIS and Windows web services, a network-accessible DoS here can take down any Windows server running HTTP-based services. Based on the Acknowledgement, it looks like this bug may have been found using AI. There are no real details for the other bugs, but based simply on the impact, I would focus on the Kerberos and TCP/IP bugs if you had to prioritize.</p><p class="">No new advisories are being released this month.</p><p class=""><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p><p class="">The next Patch Tuesday will be on July 14 and will be the last one before Black Hat/DEFCON. It’s usually a big release, so strap in and hang on. I’ll be back then to give you my full thoughts. Until then, stay safe, happy patching, and may all your reboots be smooth and clean!</p><p class=""> </p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class=""><em>In this excerpt of a TrendAI Research Services vulnerability report, Yazhi Wang and Jonathan Lein of the TrendAI Research team detail a recently patched remote code execution bug in the Windows HTTP protocol stack. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can result in a denial-of-service condition, or, in the worst case, code execution with kernel privileges. The following is a portion of their write-up covering CVE-2026-47291, with a few minimal modifications.</em></p>

  <p class="">A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the HTTP Protocol Stack for Microsoft Internet Information Services implemented in HTTP.sys. The vulnerability is due to invalid validating incoming HTTP requests. </p><p class="">A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted HTTP packets to the target system. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can result in a denial-of-service condition, or, in the worst case, code execution with kernel privileges.</p><p class=""><strong>The Vulnerability</strong></p><p class=""><em>HTTP.sys</em> is the kernel-mode HTTP protocol driver in Microsoft Windows. It provides HTTP request parsing, response caching, and SSL/TLS termination for Internet Information Services (IIS) and other applications that register URL prefixes. The driver listens on configured TCP ports (commonly 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS) and processes inbound HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2 requests at the kernel level.</p><p class="">When operating over HTTPS, <em>HTTP.sys</em> delegates TLS processing to the Windows Secure Channel (SChannel) provider. Inbound TCP data is decrypted on a <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8446/">per-record basis</a>: each TLS record constitutes an independent unit of encryption and is decrypted separately by SChannel before being delivered to <em>HTTP.sys</em> as a distinct plaintext buffer. A single TLS 1.3 application data record has the following structure:</p>





















  
  




  


  
  
    
    
      
        
        
        
        
          
        
        
        
      
    
  
  
    



  



  




  <p class="">The decrypted payload of each TLS record is delivered independently to the HTTP parser via</p><p class=""><em>UlHttpBufferReceiveEvent()</em>, regardless of how many TLS records the underlying TCP connection coalesces into a single TCP segment. This behavior is distinct from plaintext HTTP connections, where the Windows TCP stack coalesces multiple segments into a single receive indication before the data reaches <em>HTTP.sys</em>.</p><p class="">The HTTP parser maintains a per-request state object that includes a dynamically grown buffer reference array. The <em>capacity</em> field stores the current number of allocated slots in the buffer reference array. The <em>count</em> field stores the number of slots currently in use. The <em>ref_array_ptr</em> field points to the dynamically allocated array of 8-byte buffer reference entries.</p><p class="">An integer overflow vulnerability exists in <em>HTTP.sys</em>. The vulnerability is due to insufficient bounds checking when growing a buffer reference array during HTTP/1.x header parsing. When <em>HTTP.sys</em> receives data for an HTTP/1.x request, it allocates a <em>UL_REQUEST_BUFFER</em> structure for each receive indication and tracks these buffers in the per-request reference array described above. The <em>count</em> field records the number of active buffer references, and the <em>capacity</em> field records the total number of allocated slots. </p><p class="">As the HTTP parser (<em>UlpParseNextRequest()</em>) processes header lines, it calls an inline buffer reference routine each time a new receive buffer is consumed. When <em>count</em> reaches <em>capacity</em>, the routine grows the array by reallocating it with five additional slots. The new allocation size is computed as 0x28 + <em>capacity</em> * 8, the contents of the existing array are copied via <em>memmove</em> using <em>count</em> * 8 as the copy length, and <em>capacity</em> is incremented by 5 as a 16-bit unsigned integer addition. No overflow check is performed on this addition.</p><p class="">After 13,107 growth events, <em>capacity</em> reaches 0xFFFB. The next growth adds 5, producing 0x10000, which truncates to 0x0000 in the 16-bit field. On the subsequent buffer reference addition, <em>count</em> (which is now 65,536 or greater) exceeds the zero <em>capacity</em>, triggering another growth. The allocation size computation 0x28 + 0 * 8 produces a 40-byte allocation, but the <em>memmove</em> copies <em>count</em> * 8 bytes (approximately 524,256 bytes) from the old buffer into the 40-byte allocation. This results in a kernel pool heap buffer overflow of over 500 kilobytes.</p><p class="">Each buffer reference corresponds to one receive buffer delivered to the HTTP parser. For plaintext HTTP connections, the Windows TCP stack coalesces received segments into large indications, and <em>UlpMergeBuffers() </em>further combines buffers within <em>HTTP.sys</em>. Over TLS connections, each TLS record is decrypted independently by SChannel and delivered as a separate buffer through <em>UlHttpBufferReceiveEvent()</em> into <em>UlpCopyIndicatedData()</em>. If each TLS record contains exactly one complete header line (terminated by CRLF), the HTTP parser fully consumes the buffer without setting the partial-parse flag, causing <em>UlpAdjustBuffers()</em> to advance to the next buffer via its non-merge path. This creates a 1:1 correspondence between TLS records sent and buffer references accumulated.</p><p class="">To trigger the overflow, an attacker crafts an HTTP request in which each header line is encapsulated in a separate TLS application data record. Given a minimum header line size of approximately 4 bytes and a required count of 65,536 buffer references, the total request size comes to roughly 262,144 bytes. The <em>MaxRequestBytes </em>registry value (at <em>HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters</em>) must be configured to a value of at least 262,144 bytes for the server to accept a request of this size. The default value of 16,384 bytes limits the request to approximately 4000 header lines, which is insufficient to trigger the overflow. As a mitigation, keeping <em>MaxRequestBytes</em> at or below 65,535 bytes represents the most conservative configuration to prevent this attack.</p><p class="">A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP/1.x request over a TLS connection to an affected server. Successful exploitation results in unexpected system termination due to a memory access exception in the context of the kernel. Under specific memory layout conditions, exploitation could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the kernel.</p><p class=""><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p class="">• The vulnerability is only reachable through HTTP/1.x header parsing over TLS connections. HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 use different parser paths that do not interact with the buffer reference array.</p><p class="">• Body data parsing (Content-Length or chunked transfer encoding) does not add entries to the buffer reference array. Only header parsing triggers buffer reference growth.</p><p class="">• At a sending rate of 10 milliseconds per TLS record, the overflow requires approximately 11 minutes to trigger.</p><p class=""><strong>Source Code Walkthrough</strong></p><p class="">The following code snippet was taken from <em>HTTP.sys</em> version 10.0.26100.7705. Comments added by TrendAI Research have been highlighted.</p><p class="">In <em>UlpParseNextRequest()</em>:</p>





















  
  




  


  
  
    
    
      
        
        
        
        
          
        
        
        
      
    
  
  
    



  



  




  <p class=""><strong>Detection Guidance</strong></p><p class="">To detect an attack exploiting this vulnerability, the detection device must monitor and parse traffic on the TCP port 443.</p><p class="">The traffic on the affected port(s) is TLS-encrypted. The detection device must be able to decrypt the TLS traffic before applying the following detection method. The detection device should monitor for HTTPS connections.</p><p class="">An HTTP/1.x request [1] consists of a request line followed by zero or more header field lines, each terminated by CRLF. The following grammar defines the relevant structure:</p>





















  
  




  


  
  
    
    
      
        
        
        
        
          
        
        
        
      
    
  
  
    



  



  




  <p class=""><em>Decrypted traffic inspection:</em></p><p class="">After decrypting the TLS session, the detection device must parse the HTTP/1.x request headers. The detection device must count the number of distinct header field lines present in a single HTTP request. If the number of header field lines in a single request exceeds 1,000, the traffic should be considered suspicious; an attack exploiting this vulnerability is likely underway.</p><p class=""><em>Encrypted traffic heuristics:</em></p><p class="">Where decryption is not available, the detection device should inspect the pattern of TLS application data records within the encrypted session. If each TLS application data record contains a single short payload and the total number of such records on a single connection exceeds 1,000, the traffic should be considered suspicious; an attack exploiting this vulnerability is likely underway.</p><p class=""><em>Notes:</em></p><p class="">• The preferred detection method (header line count) requires the ability to decrypt TLS traffic, for example through TLS inspection, a decrypting proxy, or possession of the server's private key. This method directly observes the attack indicator and produces low false-positive and false-negative rates.</p><p class="">• The TLS record heuristic operates on encrypted traffic and does not require decryption. This method is more prone to false positives (legitimate applications that send many small TLS records, such as interactive streaming sessions, may trigger the heuristic) and to false negatives (the threshold is based on observable record sizes rather than the actual header count that determines exploitability). Where possible, decrypted traffic inspection should be preferred.</p><p class="">• The attack requires approximately 11 minutes of sustained connection to accumulate sufficient header lines. Connection duration monitoring may serve as a supplementary detection heuristic.</p><p class=""><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p class="">This vulnerability was <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-47291">patched</a> by Microsoft in the June 2026 release cycle. They note several mitigations that include editing the registry to ensure unpatched systems are not vulnerable to exploitation. However, the best method to ensure this bug has been fully remediated is to test and deploy the vendor-supplied patch.</p><p class="">Special thanks to Yazhi Wang and Jonathan Lein of the TrendAI Research team for providing such a thorough analysis of this vulnerability.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">Well folks. Here we are. The bug apocalypse has fully descended upon us. I’ll do my best to sort this out in some way meaningful, but this month’s release shows us the nay-sayers were right, and I’ve got to hand it to the nay-sayers here. Excellent call. Take an extended break from your regularly scheduled activities as we let’s take a look at the latest security patches from Adobe and Microsoft. If you’d rather watch the full video recap covering the entire release, you can check it out here:</p>





















  
  




  
















  
    
      
    
    
      
        
      
    
    
    



  






  <p class=""><strong>Adobe Patches for July 2026</strong></p><p class="">Adobe has now moved to a bimonthly release schedule, which means they will be releasing patches on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month. I’ll continue to cover the second Tuesday release here and update this blog should the fourth Tuesday release contain anything significant. I think this is a smart way to break up a monster release into something a bit more manageable. Apple has said they are taking a similar approach. We’ll see if other vendors follow their lead.</p><p class="">For the first part of the July release, Adobe released 12 bulletins addressing 88 unique CVEs in Adobe ColdFusion, Commerce, After Effects, Animate, Audition, Bridge, Creative Cloud Desktop Application, Experience Manager, Illustrator, Media Encoder, Premiere Pro, and the Content Credentials SDK.</p><p class="">Here’s this month’s overview table:</p>

  <p class="">While nothing is under active exploit, I would prioritize the Cold Fusion and Commerce patches first. The patch for Cold Fusion even clocks in with a CVSS 9.9 bug. Beyond that, most of these updates are pretty straightforward. If you’re using these products, patch them. However, you can use you regular patch cadence here. </p><p class=""><strong>Microsoft Patches for July 2026</strong></p><p class="">Here it is. The Mother of All Releases. To call this record-breaking is an understatement. How to count this mess is anyone’s guess, but I see new Microsoft 621 CVEs for the month of July. Some of these are in online services where no user action is required. They also list about 480 bugs in Chromium and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) that I won’t cover here. Here’s how I put this in context. I looked at the last 20 years of Microsoft releases. The CVE count year-to-date exceeds all other years’ totals.</p>

  <p class="">The products covered this month are also astonishing. There are patches for Windows and Windows components, Office and Office Components, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Azure, .NET and Visual Studio, Github Copilot, Defender, Exchange Server, Hyper-V, Ages of Empire II, and Minecraft Server (really!). That phrase “Windows components” does some pretty heavy lifting here, too, as just about everything you’ve ever heard of is getting patched. All told, there are 63 rated Critical, six rated Moderate, one rated Low, with the rest rated Important in severity. Eight of these bugs were submitted through the ZDI program (more on that later). Two CVEs are listed as under active exploit while one other is listed as publicly known.</p><p class="">So how do we eat this elephant? One byte at a time (pun intended). Let’s start by looking a closer look at some of the more interesting updates for this month, starting with the bugs being exploited in the wild.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56155"><strong>CVE-2026-56155</strong></a><strong> - Active Directory Federation Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>This is one of several AD FS being patched this month, but it’s the only one being actively exploited. It stems from insufficient access-control granularity and does require local access and low privileges to start, but AD FS is exactly the kind of identity infrastructure attackers love to pivot through once they're in. It can also be paired with an RCE as we often see in ransomware. Test and deploy this patch quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56154"><strong>CVE-2026-56164</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft SharePoint Server Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>The other bug being exploited in the wild this month is a modest CVSS 5.3 – but it shows why Moderate severity bugs still matter. It's a missing-authentication flaw, meaning an unauthenticated attacker can hit it over the network with no user interaction required. When something this reachable is being actively abused, patch it now and worry about the score later.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-57092"><strong>CVE-2026-57092</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Windows VMSwitch Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>This patch rates the highest CVSS score for the month: a solid 9.9. It’s a use-after-free that lets a low-privileged attacker escalate to full host compromise across a VM boundary. We saw something like this demonstrated at Pwn2Own Berlin on ESXi, but it clearly isn’t alone. If you’re using VMSwitch in your Hyper-V deployments (and you likely are), test and deploy this one quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50522"><strong>CVE-2026-50522</strong></a><strong>/</strong><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-58644"><strong>58644</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft SharePoint Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>This matching pair of CVSS 9.8 bugs results from the deserialization-of-untrusted-data and are reachable without authentication or user interaction. CVE-2026-50522 was demonstrated during <a href="https://www.zerodayinitiative.com/blog/2026/5/16/pwn2own-berlin-2026-day-three-results-and-master-of-pwn">Pwn2Own Berlin</a>, so it’s odd to see Microsoft list it as “Exploit Maturity Unknown” since we literally handed them a working exploit. Just another reason to do your own risk assessment and not rely 100% on the vendor. If you have any Internet accessible SharePoint servers, test and deploy this patch quickly. </p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56190"><strong>CVE-2026-56190</strong></a><strong> - Remote Desktop Protocol Remote Code Execution Vulnerability</strong><br> This patch covers an unauthenticated, network-reachable, no user interaction required bug. The root cause is a classic one: use of uninitialized resource (CWE-908), meaning specially crafted RDP traffic can interact with memory that was never properly initialized, letting an attacker corrupt memory and potentially steer code execution. RDP Servers are a common target, so audit your systems to see which are internet accessible and start from there. </p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-55008"><strong>CVE-2026-55008</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Exchange Server Spoofing Vulnerability<br></strong>Ignore the title here and treat this like the XSS bug it is. The vulnerability is listed as a CVSS 9.6 since it’s a stored cross-site scripting flaw in Outlook Web Access, with a scope-changed impact that lets it break out of the web app context entirely. An attacker sends a specially crafted email, and if the victim simply opens it in OWA, arbitrary JavaScript executes in their browser session — no attachment needed, no macro warning, just viewing the message does it. If you’re using OWA, test and deploy this one quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50518"><strong>CVE-2026-50518</strong></a><strong> - Windows DHCP Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>There are a couple of these DHCP RCE patches in this release, but the other has caveats while this one does not. Both are heap-based buffer overflows scoring CVSS 9.8, both unauthenticated and network-reachable. If you're running DHCP Server role on anything Internet-adjacent (you're not, right?), these move to the top of the list.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-56188"><strong>CVE-2026-56188</strong></a><strong> - Windows Server Network driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>Another Critical-rated bug, this one is caused by a race condition. It’s always fun to see a TOCTOU bug rated this high, since race conditions are notoriously finicky to exploit reliably. While it may prove tricky to exploit, this bug could allow an attacker to execute privileged code over the network without user interaction. Don’t let the race condition lull you to sleep on a wormable bug.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-55010"><strong>CVE-2026-55010</strong></a><strong> - Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>File this in the “why not” category. This bug is a heap-based buffer overflow in Minecraft Bedrock Dedicated Server, also CVSS 9.8 and also unauthenticated RCE. Yes, your kid’s Minecraft server (it is your kid’s server, right?) is exposed to the same class of bug as your DHCP infrastructure. Patch it anyway.</p><p class="">Here’s the full list of CVEs released by Microsoft for July 2026:</p>

  <p class=""><em>** Indicates this CVEs has already been resolved by Microsoft, and no further action is needed by the end user.</em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class="">I’ll do my best to summarize everything else in this release, but no promises. I’m only human after all.</p><p class=""> </p><p class="">Looking at the remaining Critical-rated patches, Office is its own weather system: fourteen Word/Excel/PowerPoint/Office RCEs clustered at CVSS 7.8, plus five Windows Media Foundation RCEs. Outside of the Preview Pane attack vector, they are individually unremarkable; collectively, patch Office and reboot. Always reboot. We’ve already mentioned DHCP some, but DHCP Server can't catch a break. Beyond the one already covered, add CVE-2026-56159, CVE-2026-48564, CVE-2026-50370, and DHCP Client cousin CVE-2026-54128. Five DHCP RCEs in one release. Rounding things out, Print Spooler (CVE-2026-58608), Windows TCP/IP (CVE-2026-54999), and a SQL Server RCE pair (CVE-2026-54117/54118) all receive patches, and all are rated a CVSS 8.8. VE-2026-55944 (Dynamics NAV/Business Central On-Prem RCE, 9.8) is the same deserialization flavor as the SharePoint pair; it’s unauthenticated, network-reachable, and easy to overlook since it's not SharePoint. CVE-2026-48561 (Microsoft Copilot RCE, 9.6) and CVE-2026-50380 (Windows GDI+ RCE, 9.6) round out the near-top tier. Don't forget CVE-2026-55040, a SharePoint Security Feature Bypass (9.1) — patch it in the same pass as the SharePoint RCE pair since it's the same product family. Identity and infrastructure get hit too: CVE-2026-54121 (AD Certificate Services EoP, 8.8) and CVE-2026-50444 (WSUS EoP, 8.8). The obscure Reliable Multicast Transport Driver (RMCAST) takes two RCEs (CVE-2026-54982, CVE-2026-54995), and CVE-2026-50474 gives Remote Desktop Client its own RCE, separate from the RDP one already covered. The rest is a long tail: Defender RCE x2, GDI+ again, Windows Media x2, Secure Kernel Mode EoP x2, and a second Hyper-V EoP. You can consider these “normal” as far as patch cadence goes.</p><p class="">That leaves us with 95 RCE to discuss. I would explain, but there is too much, so let me sum up. CVE-2026-55944 (Dynamics NAV/Business Central On-Prem, 9.8) is the same deserialization flavor as the SharePoint pair: unauthenticated, easy to miss since it's not SharePoint. CVE-2026-54990 (Remote Desktop Client), CVE-2026-49172 (Windows FTP Service), and CVE-2026-50447 (MSMQ) all hit 9.8 too, proof severity labels lag CVSS sometimes. CVE-2026-48561 (Copilot) and CVE-2026-50380 (GDI+) sit at 9.6.</p><p class="">The pattern worth watching: 14 Windows NTFS and 7 ReFS RCEs/ That makes 21 filesystem-driver bugs, an unusually large cluster suggesting a shared root cause. Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) contributes 21 more that are genuinely Microsoft's to patch, not Chromium re-listing noise. Remote Desktop Client racks up a second and third RCE (CVE-2026-50474, CVE-2026-58594), and Windows Admin Center picks up two (CVE-2026-56196/56197) — WAC exposure keeps creeping into these releases. Exchange Server (CVE-2026-55005) and AD Domain Services (CVE-2026-49178) both land at 8.8.</p><p class="">And because this release wouldn't be complete without it: CVE-2026-50663, an RCE in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. Yes, really. Patch your civilization anyway.</p><p class="">There are close to 260 EoP bugs in this month’s release. Microsoft could have just published the EoPs and still had a record-setting month. As usual, most simply lead to local attackers executing their code at SYSTEM-level privileges or administrative privileges, so there’s not much to add without further technical details about the bugs themselves. What’s really frustrating is that 94 have no explicit privilege statement at all. Microsoft just says “elevate privileges” with no detail. By my count, that leaves around 25 bugs to consider. Some don’t elevate at all. The FAQ literally says the attacker just gets “the rights of the user running the affected application.” That covers Win32k, Clip Service, Search Service, MSMQ, and SharePoint. A few get a Low-to-Medium integrity bump. There are also a couple that lead to downgraded service accounts or arbitrary file deletion, but nothing else I’ve seen really stands out too much.</p><p class="">There are 20 Security Feature Bypass (SFB) bugs this month, and it's a genuinely mixed bag. CVE-2026-55040 leads at Critical, CVSS 9.1 as it’s weak authentication in SharePoint Server. Patch it in the same pass as the SharePoint RCE pair since it's the same product. The AI-coding-tool trend continues: GitHub Copilot and Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio all land SFB bugs, mostly injection or path-traversal flavored. BitLocker is this month's lone publicly disclosed bug. It’s not exploited yet, but public disclosure is a countdown clock, not a free pass. It requires physical access, as does the bug in Microsoft XML. The firmware/boot cluster is worth a second look: Secure Boot, Boot Loader, and Key Guard all touch the trust chain below the OS. Meaning, despite a low CVSS score, “if this fails, nothing above it can be trusted” stakes. Rounding out the SFB patches, there are two .NET SFBs, two Windows Kernel SFBs, and a DNS/Cryptographic Services bringing up the rear.</p><p class="">The July release includes 31Spoofing bugs this month, and we’ve already covered the most important (Exchange). SharePoint Server accounts for another ten with almost all the same root cause: stored XSS letting an authenticated attacker spoof content in the browser. Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) contributes fifteen more spanning access-control failures, SSRF, type confusion, and UI misrepresentation. All genuinely Microsoft's to patch, not re-listed Chromium noise. The remaining six round out the usual suspects: a Windows NAT spoofing bug reachable from an adjacent network, a Bing app flaw on iOS, a PowerBI Report Server XSS issue, a .NET output-encoding bug, and an AD FS spoofing flaw. None publicly disclosed, none exploited, but with SharePoint's history this year, don't let "just Spoofing" lull you into deprioritizing the patch cycle.</p><p class="">Of 111 Information Disclosure bugs, the overwhelming majority of these simply result in info leaks consisting of unspecified memory contents or memory addresses. GitHub Copilot is the standout. Here, the bug insufficiently protected credentials, meaning actual secrets leak, not memory scraps. The Windows Admin Center flaw discloses data via improper authentication. A management console leaking to an unauthorized party is a bigger deal than it sounds. SharePoint uses SSRF to pull data server-side, and the Event Logging Service is a protection-mechanism failure, not a memory bug at all. Edge picks up three genuinely file-system-flavored disclosures — improper authorization, files/directories accessible to external parties, and link-following — plus Edge for Android exposing “private personal information” twice and two path-traversal bugs. The remaining 40+ are mostly one-line “exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor” entries scattered across File Explorer, Push Notifications, Cryptographic Services, and Win32k.</p><p class="">Only 8 Tampering bugs this month, the smallest bucket, but a couple stand out. The top of the list is a WSUS bug, caused by an uncaught exception that lets an unauthenticated attacker tamper with the update service over the network. That’s your patch-management infrastructure itself being the target, which always deserves extra attention. Windows CNG (the crypto API) picks up a missing-cryptographic-step flaw, and Windows DNS Client shows up three separate times across the list, twice for improper access control and once for missing authentication on a critical function. DNS resolution having this many tampering paths in one release is worth flagging as a pattern rather than three unrelated bugs. The one genuinely different entry is Outlook Copilot, described simply as vulnerable to “malicious uses” enabling tampering over the network. That’s a fantastically vague phrasing for an AI-assistant feature, continuing this year's running theme of Copilot-branded features showing up somewhere in every release. Finally, a .NET link-following bug and a WSL2 kernel race condition receive patches. Both require local/authorized access to trigger.</p><p class="">Still with me? Good, because we have 35 DoS bugs to cover, and this is really an identity-infrastructure story more than a grab-bag. Active Directory Federation Services alone accounts for seven of them, all sitting at CVSS 7.5, all stack-based buffer overflows or infinite loops that let an unauthenticated attacker knock the service over the network.  The .NET ecosystem is the other big cluster: .NET, .NET Framework, and ASP.NET Core/OData contribute nine bugs combined, almost all “allocation of resources without limits or throttling”.  HTTP.sys and HTTP/2 pick up the same flavor. LSASS shows up twice, which is always worth a second look given what that process actually holds. Rounding out the list are patches for Windows DHCP Server, SMB Server, Secure Channel, Hyper-V, and IKE Protocol each take a single hit, mostly requiring authorized or adjacent-network access rather than being wide open to the internet.</p><p class="">No new advisories are being released this month.</p><p class=""><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p><p class="">The next Patch Tuesday will be on August 11, just after Hacker Summer Camp in sunny Las Vegas. Should I survive the heat, I’ll be back then to give you my full thoughts on the release – no matter how large it may be. Until then, stay safe, happy patching, and may all your reboots be smooth and clean!</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>A remote code execution vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows Notepad. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of links in Markdown files.</p>
<p>A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing the victim to download and interact with a malicious file. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in the execution of arbitrary commands in the security context of the victim's account.</p>
<p><b data-preserve-html-node="true">The Vulnerability</b></p>
<p>Microsoft Windows comes with a default text-editing application called Windows Notepad. Historically, this application offered only minimal editing features. However, modern versions of Windows include an improved and extended Notepad by default. This new version supports multiple file formats, Markdown rendering, and Copilot-enhanced features.</p>
<p><a href="https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/">Markdown</a> is a lightweight markup language that allows users to create formatted text using a simple syntax. It is widely used for writing documents, blog posts, and README files. It supports a wide range of formatting options, including (but not limited to) headers, styled text, numbered and bulleted lists, and links. Markdown supports two main link formats: standard and inline. The standard link format is:</p>
<p>          <code>[link-name](link/path)</code></p>
<p>When rendered, only the link text ("link-name") is shown to the user.</p>
<p>The inline links use the following format:</p>
<p>          <code>&lt;link/path&gt;</code></p>
<p>When rendered, they are transformed into the equivalent standard link:</p>
<p>          <code>[link/path](link/path)</code></p>
<p>A remote code execution vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Windows Notepad. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of links when handling Markdown files.</p>
<p>When Notepad opens a file, if the application detects that the file requires special rendering (in this case, Markdown), the input file is tokenized. Tokenization in this context means splitting the raw file text into a sequence of small, recognizable pieces ("tokens") that the renderer can process one by one. Detection is performed based on the file extension. Only the ".md" extension was found to trigger Markdown rendering, as the application uses a fixed string comparison to determine whether Markdown should be rendered by calling <code>sub_1400ED5D0()</code>. Markdown files are rendered token by token.</p>
<p>Function <code>sub_140170F60()</code> handles clicking on links in Markdown files. It filters the link value, and passes it to <code>ShellExecuteExW()</code> call.</p>
<p>The filtering performed on the link is found to be insufficient, as it allows using malicious crafted protocol URIs, such as "file://" and "ms-appinstaller://", to execute arbitrary files in the security context of victim. <code>ShellExecuteExW()</code> uses the configured protocol handlers and may expose additional exploitable protocols depending on the system configuration.</p>
<p>A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing the victim to download a malicious crafted Markdown file, open it, and click on a malicious link. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in the execution of arbitrary commands in the security context of the victim's account.</p>
<p>Notes<br>•	Files using the ".md" file extension are not registered to be opened by Notepad by default. However, when opened manually in Notepad, they are rendered as Markdown, which allows the vulnerability to be triggered.<br>•	Any "\\" sequences are converted to "\" in the attacker-controlled link path prior to passing it to the <code>ShellExecuteExW()</code> call.</p>
<p><b data-preserve-html-node="true">Source Code Walkthrough</b></p>
<p>The following code snippet was taken from Notepad.exe version 11.2508. Comments added by TrendAI researchers have been highlighted.</p>
<p>In <code>sub_140170F60()</code>:</p>


  


  
  
    
    
      
        
        
        
        
          
        
        
        
      
    
  
  
    



  



  

<p><b data-preserve-html-node="true">Detection Guidance</b></p>
<p>To detect an attack exploiting this vulnerability, the detection device must monitor and parse traffic on the following application protocols that can be used to deliver an attack to exploit this vulnerability:<br>•	FTP, over ports 21/TCP, 20/TCP<br>•	HTTP, over port 80/TCP<br>•	HTTPS, over port 443/TCP<br>•	IMAP, over port 143/TCP<br>•	NFS, over ports 2049/TCP, 2049/UDP, 111/TCP, 111/UDP<br>•	POP3, over port 110/TCP<br>•	SMTP, over ports 25/TCP, 587/TCP<br>•	SMB/CIFS, over ports 139/TCP, 445/TCP  </p>
<p>The detection device must inspect traffic transferring a Markdown file with the file extension ".md". If such a file transfer is found, the detection device must search the file content for links.</p>
<p>The detection device must check whether the link paths contain the strings "file:" or "ms-appinstaller:".</p>
<p>If "file:" was found, the detection device must search the Markdown file contents using the following case-insensitive regular expression:</p>
<p><code>(\x3C|\[[^\x5d]+\]\()file:(\x2f|\x5c\x5c){4}</code></p>
<p>If "ms-appinstaller:" was found, the detection device must search the Markdown file contents using the following case-insensitive regular expression:</p>
<p><code>(\x3C|\[[^\x5d]+\]\()ms-appinstaller:(\x2f|\x5c\x5c){2}</code></p>




  <p class="">If any of the regular expressions matches, the link contains a path to a remote resource. The traffic must be considered malicious; an attack exploiting this vulnerability is likely underway. This guidance should also detect the public PoC that was recently posted on <a href="https://github.com/BTtea/CVE-2026-20841-PoC">GitHub</a>.</p><p class="">Notes</p><p class="">•  The string matches are case-insensitive.<br>•  The detection guidance is based on the vendor-provided patch. However, the patch restricts the links to local-only files and HTTP(S) URIs, which may result in a huge number of false positives. Because of that, the detection guidance focuses on formats that may access and execute remote files. Due to that, it may result in false negatives.<br>•  The vulnerable function uses the configured protocol handlers and may expose additional exploitable protocols depending on the system configuration.</p><p class=""><strong>Conclusion</strong></p><p class="">This vulnerability was <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/en-US/vulnerability/CVE-2026-20841">patched</a> by Microsoft in the February 2026 release cycle. They note no workarounds but do list user interaction as a prerequisite to exploitation. To fully remediate the vulnerability, the proper action is to test and deploy the provided vendor patch.</p><p class="">Special thanks to Nikolai Skliarenko and Yazhi Wang of the TrendAI Research team for providing such a thorough analysis of this vulnerability.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="">I am back in the friendly confines of the Mid-South headquarters of TrendAI ZDI (a.k.a. my home office), and am all set for the third patch Tuesday of 2026. Take a break from your regularly scheduled activities and let’s take a look at the latest security patches from Adobe and Microsoft.If you’d rather watch the full video recap covering the entire release, you can check it out here:</p>





















  
  




  
















  
    
      
    
    
      
        
      
    
    
    



  






  <p class=""><strong>Adobe Patches for March 2026</strong></p><p class="">For March, Adobe released eight bulletins addressing 80 unique CVEs in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Commerce, Illustrator, Substance 3D Painter, Premier Pro, Experience Manager, Substance 3D Stager, and the Adobe DNG Software Development Kit (SDK). Two of these bugs were submitted through the TrendAI ZDI program. If you need to prioritize, the update for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/acrobat/apsb26-26.html">Acrobat</a> likely has the most impact, with the patch fixing two Critical-rated and one Important bugs. The fix for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/experience-manager/apsb26-24.html">Experience Manager</a> is the largest this month with 33 CVEs addressed. However, these are simple cross-site scripting (XSS) bugs, so it’s not too exciting. The fix for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/magento/apsb26-05.html">Commerce</a> is also quite large with 19 CVEs. Most of these are also XSS bugs, but there’s a few security feature bypass bugs in there, too. Adobe actually gives this patch a deployment priority of 2, but it’s not under active attack at the time of release. </p><p class="">The fix for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/illustrator/apsb26-18.html">Illustrator</a> corrects seven bugs, including a few Critical-rated ones. The patch for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/substance3d_painter/apsb26-25.html">Substance 3D Painter</a> fixes nine different CVEs, all rated Important. That’s not the case for <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/substance3d_stager/apsb26-29.html">Substance 3D Stager</a>, which fixes six different Critical bugs that could lead to arbitrary code execution. The patch for the <a href="https://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/dng-sdk/apsb26-30.html">Adobe DNG Software Development Kit</a> (SDK) addresses one Critical and one Important bug. Finally, the update for Premiere Pro correct a single, Critical-rated bug that could lead to arbitrary code execution. </p><p class="">None of the bugs fixed by Adobe this month are listed as publicly known or under active attack at the time of release, and beyond the update for Commerce, all of the other updates released by Adobe this month are listed as deployment priority 3.</p><p class=""><strong>Microsoft Patches for March 2026</strong></p><p class="">This month, Microsoft released 84 new CVEs in Windows and Windows components, Office and Office Components, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based), Azure, SQL Server, Hyper-V Server, and the Windows Resilient File System (ReFS). Counting the third-party and Chromium updates listed in the release, it brings to total number of CVEs to 94. Five of these bugs were reported through the TrendAI ZDI program. Eight of these bugs are rated Critical, and the rest are rated Important in severity.</p><p class="">This volume is relatively typical for a March release, and the lack of bugs under active attack is a nice change from last month. There are two vulnerabilities listed as publicly known at the time of release, but none listed as actively exploited.</p><p class="">Let’s take a closer look at some of the more interesting updates for this month, starting with a bug with an AI slant:</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-26144"><strong>CVE-2026-26144</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Excel Information Disclosure Vulnerability<br></strong>This is a fascinating bug and an attack scenario we’re likely to see more often. The vulnerability is a simple cross-site scripting (XSS) bug in Excel, but an attacker could use it to cause the Copilot Agent to exfiltrate data off the target. This essentially makes it a zero-click information disclosure. Although not stated, the disclosure is likely at the level of the logged-on user, so there isn’t a privilege escalation component. Info disclosures rarely get rated Critical, but it makes sense here.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-26110"><strong>CVE-2026-26110</strong></a><strong>/</strong><a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-26113"><strong>CVE-2026-26113</strong></a><strong> - Microsoft Office Remote Code Execution Vulnerability <br></strong>Another month and another pair of Office bugs where the Preview Pane is an exploit vector. I’ve lost count of how many of these bugs have been patched over the last year, but it’s just a matter of time until they start appearing in active exploits. The latest versions of Outlook allow you to hide the Preview Pane, but it isn’t clear if this would mitigate these attacks. The best option is still to test and deploy the update, but considering how many of these patches exist, it’s likely further updates will be needed to fully address these issues.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-23669"><strong>CVE-2026-23669</strong></a><strong> - Windows Print Spooler Remote Code Execution Vulnerability<br></strong>Just reading the title makes me twitch with remembrances of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PrintNightmare">Print Nightmare</a> from a few years ago. This bug works in the same manner as those exploits. An authenticated attacker sends specially crafted messages to an affected system to gain arbitrary code execution. No user interaction is required. Let’s hope we don’t end up in a new nightmare of spooler exploits. Test and deploy this one quickly.</p><p class="">-    <a href="https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-23668"><strong>CVE-2026-23668</strong></a><strong> - Windows Graphics Component Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability<br></strong>This vulnerability was submitted to the ZDI program by Marcin Wiązowski as two separate bugs, and it demonstrates the need for variant investigations when creating security patches. Both cases are caused by the lack of proper locking when performing operations on an object. However, in one case, it’s in the cdd.dll driver while the other is in the win32kfull driver. Either way, an attacker could use these to elevate privileges to SYSTEM and execute arbitrary code. Since the fix for both is to add object locking to the GDI object, the cases are combined into a single CVE. That’s not a problem, but it does show how variants can occur, and fixes should be as broad as possible.</p><p class="">Here’s the full list of CVEs released by Microsoft for March 2026:</p>

  <p class=""><em>* Indicates this CVE had been released by a third party and is now being included in Microsoft releases</em>.</p><p class=""><em>† Indicates further administrative actions are required to fully address the vulnerability.</em></p><p class=""><em> </em></p><p class="">Looking at the other Critical-rated bugs in this month’s release, they are all cloud-native and require no user action. Microsoft has already remediated the vulnerabilities.</p><p class="">Moving on to the other code execution bugs, the vulnerabilities in SharePoint Server pop out first. Both require authentication, but it’s essentially the lowest level of authentication, so these would be ideal cases for lateral movement within an enterprise. There are the standard open-and-own cases within Office components. There an interesting sounding bug in the Windows Mobile Broadband Driver that requires physical access, but Microsoft doesn’t elaborate on the attack scenario beyond that fact. The bug in the System Image Manager Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) requires authentication. The bug in GDI requires user interaction. The remaining code execution bugs are in the RRAS protocol. We’ve seen bugs in this component in the past, but never in the wild. I wouldn’t ignore these, but I wouldn’t rush them out either.</p><p class="">Similar to last month, updates for Elevation of Privilege (EoP) bugs make up nearly half of this month’s release. And as we saw last month, but most simply lead to local attackers executing their code at SYSTEM-level privileges or administrative privileges. The bugs in SQL Server allow attackers to elevate to SQL sysadmin privileges. The bug in the Azure MCP Server is more complex. It allows attackers to obtain the permissions associated with the MCP Server’s managed identity, which lets them perform actions that the managed identity is able to reach. The bug in the Azure AD SSH Login extension for Linux leads to root access, and it won’t be easy to patch. You’ll need to run the update instructions from the command line on each affected system. That’s the same case for the bug in the Linux Azure Diagnostic extension (LAD). There’s an odd bug in the Hybrid Worker Extension (Arc‑enabled Windows VMs) that leads to “ELEVATED” privileges, which is something I’ve never seen before. The bug in the Broadcast DVR component allows an attacker to go from low integrity level up to medium. There’s a bug listed as an EoP in the Push message Routing Service, but reading the description, Microsoft notes it could lead to an information disclosure. It’s likely this is an error and should be an Information Disclosure bug. The final EoP is in the Azure Portal Windows Admin Center and leads to SYSTEM. However, there’s no patch to remediate this bug. Instead, you need to install the latest version of the Windows Admin Center extension through the Azure Portal by hand. </p><p class="">There are two security feature bypass patches in the March release. The first is a bypass of the MapURLToZone method, which (as expected) allows attackers to bypass MapURLToZone protections. The third bypass is in Kerberos and could allow an attacker to either view some sensitive information or make changes to “disclosed” information. This is a race condition that occurs while the group policy is being reapplied, so the window to exploit this would be extremely small.</p><p class="">Looking at the remaining info disclosure bugs getting patched this month, only two result in info leaks consisting of unspecified memory contents or memory addresses. Ther others provide more interesting results. There are three bugs in the Azure IoT Explorer have some wide-ranging implications. According to Microsoft, exploitation could result in, “device connection information, authentication tokens, request data, file paths, and other information transmitted between the application and the IoT Hub.” The bug in Authenticator almost reads like a security feature bypass, as exploit results in the disclosure of a one‑time sign‑in code or authentication deep link. The attacker would receive the sign‑in information and could potentially use it to authenticate as the user, allowing access to information or services available to that account. The last info disclosure bug is in the Accessibility Infrastructure and allows an attacker to gain secrets or privileged information belonging to the user of the affected application.</p><p class="">There are only four spoofing bugs in the March release. The first is in SharePoint server and manifests as an XSS. The second bug is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in the Azure IoT Explorer. The remaining two are a bit more cryptic. The bug in Windows Shell Link Processing results from the “exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor,” and could lead to spoofing. That sounds like credential exposure, but it’s not explicitly called out. The final spoofing bug results from the insufficient verification of data authenticity in Windows App Installer. Again, this sounds vaguely like credential reflection, but without further information, we can only speculate. </p><p class="">Finally, there are four denial-of-service (DoS) bugs in the release, including one that’s listed as publicly known in the .NET Framework. As usual, Microsoft provides no actionable information about these bugs.</p><p class="">No new advisories are being released this month.</p><p class=""><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></p><p class="">I plan on being at RSA for the first time in my career, so if you’re around, please stop by and say hello. I like it when people say hello. Otherwise, I’ll be back on April 14 with my assessment of that patch Tuesday release. Until then, stay safe, happy patching, and may all your reboots be smooth and clean!</p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="c-page-title__buttons"><a class="c-button" href="https://media.defense.gov/2026/Jul/22/2003965244/-1/-1/1/CSA_RUSSIA_PHISHING_TARGET_ZIMBRA.PDF">Russian State-Supported Cyber Actors Conduct Phishing Campaign Targeting Users of Zimbra Collaboration Suite</a></div>
<h2><strong>Executive summary</strong> </h2>
<p>A group of Russian state-supported cyber actors has been targeting and compromising various Western government and commercial organizations using the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) software since at least July 2025. The Russian state-supported advanced persistent threat (APT) group’s activity is tracked in the cybersecurity community under several names (see <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#cyber1">Cybersecurity industry tracking</a>), primarily as “LAUNDRY BEAR,” a name initially coined by the Netherlands General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) and Defence Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc1">1</a>].</p>
<p>LAUNDRY BEAR’s targeting is almost certainly to gather sensitive information for the Russian Federation, with these actors primarily focusing on the covert acquisition of email data. Previous campaigns indicated LAUNDRY BEAR relied on unsophisticated initial access techniques—including password spraying, phishing, and pass-the-cookie—allowing the group to successfully run high-volume operations. The latest campaign targeting ZCS uses a novel exploit that was a zero-day vulnerability when first exploited and continues to be successfully exploited. The vulnerability, Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a>, was patched in November 2025. This demonstrates LAUNDRY BEAR’s intent and ability to deploy increasingly sophisticated technical capabilities.</p>
<p>Unlike traditional phishing campaigns that persuade a user into taking an action, such as clicking a link or opening a file, LAUNDRY BEAR’s latest campaign leverages a view-based exploit that only requires a user to view a malicious email within a vulnerable version of the webmail service. Once viewed, the exploit attempts to exfiltrate the victim’s last 90 days of email communications, the organization email directory (i.e., Global Address List [GAL]), and other sensitive information to servers controlled by LAUNDRY BEAR. The exploit also attempts to establish persistent access to victim accounts through a variety of means as detailed in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#persistence1">Persistence and credential access</a> section.</p>
<p>This Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) warns of this ongoing malicious threat activity and urges organizations to update their vulnerable software and implement additional mitigations to thwart these Russian state-supported actors’ continued success. The CSA is being released by the following authoring and co-sealing agencies:</p>
<ul>
<li>United States National Security Agency (NSA)</li>

<li>Sweden National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-SE)<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#f14"><sup>14</sup></a></li>
</ul>
<p>The authoring agencies urge any organizations using ZCS to implement the recommendations listed within the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#mitigations1">Mitigations</a> section of this advisory to reduce the risk associated with this activity. This CSA also includes specific remediations for organizations to implement if they discover the presence of the listed <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#ioc1">Indicators of compromise</a> (IOCs).  </p>
<p>As more organizations update their ZCS software based on this CSA, LAUNDRY BEAR may discontinue the current campaign exploiting this vulnerability; however, based on the success of this and previous campaigns, it is very likely that the group will continue to target ZCS and other email systems used by organizations in Western countries. The actors will almost certainly continue to rely on email to engage potential victims by exploiting novel vulnerabilities and, when necessary, use social engineering techniques to assist with their efforts. The authoring agencies recommend organizations regularly update their mail service software and continuously monitor their email systems and emails for malicious activity.</p>

<h2><strong>Cybersecurity industry tracking</strong><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h2>
<p>The cybersecurity industry provides overlapping cyber threat intelligence, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and mitigation recommendations related to these Russian state-supported cyber actors. While not exhaustive, the following are threat group names commonly used for these actors within the cybersecurity community:</p>
<ul>
<li>LAUNDRY BEAR</li>
<li>Void Blizzard [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc2">2</a>]</li>
<li>CL-STA-1114 [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc3">3</a>]</li>
<li>TA488 (formerly UNK_PitStop) [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc4">4</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Cybersecurity companies have different methods of tracking and attributing cyber actors, and this may not be a 1:1 correlation to the U.S. government’s understanding for all activity related to these groupings.</p>

<p>Public advisories from Netherlands General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), Netherlands Defence Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD), and Microsoft highlighted these Russian state-supported advanced persistent threat (APT) actors in May 2025, calling them LAUNDRY BEAR and Void Blizzard respectively [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc1">1</a>] [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc2">2</a>]. Both advisories assessed that the group was engaged in malicious cyber activity as early as April 2024.  </p>
<p>The May 2025 advisories highlighted a cluster of activity targeting cloud-based email environments, including Microsoft Exchange in particular, and abusing legitimate APIs to perform data exfiltration in bulk [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1114/002/" target="_blank">T1114.002</a>]. The group relied on unsophisticated means of initial access, including procuring stolen credentials on criminal marketplaces [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1078/" target="_blank">T1078</a>], and using social engineering techniques to lure targets into interacting with a malicious site masquerading as a legitimate one. As of April 2025, one of these sites resembled a European Defence &amp; Security Summit registration portal that required registrants to sign in to their Microsoft account to view. Once a user entered their Microsoft credentials into this malicious site, LAUNDRY BEAR’s modified version of the open source adversary emulation toolkit, Evilginx, intercepted the user’s credentials. LAUNDRY BEAR then used this authentication data, including passwords and session tokens, to access the compromised account and conduct mass email exfiltration, as well as harvest other information. This method of compromise is commonly known as an adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) technique [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1557/" target="_blank">T1557</a>].  </p>
<p>Beginning around July 2025, LAUNDRY BEAR shifted toward a more technical method of email compromise, highlighting their continued efforts to covertly acquire email communications from a variety of Western organizations of interest and deliver them to the Russian Federation. Using a custom-developed capability [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1587/001/" target="_blank">T1587.001</a>] named “<em>Улей</em>” or “<em>Ulej</em>” (Russian for beehive), LAUNDRY BEAR successfully targeted and exfiltrated sensitive user information from organizations who use the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) product [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1114/" target="_blank">T1114</a>]. Data LAUNDRY BEAR attempted to exfiltrate from compromised accounts included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Last 90 days of emails,</li>
<li>Email address,</li>
<li>Password [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1589/001/" target="_blank">T1589.001</a>],</li>
<li>Global Address List (GAL) [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1087/" target="_blank">T1087</a>],</li>
<li>Two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens, and</li>
<li>Newly-created Application Passcode [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1098/" target="_blank">T1098</a>].</li>
</ul>
<p>The covert and persistent nature of this activity, along with the absence of any known financial extortion, almost certainly indicates this group’s involvement in espionage activities with Russian government backing. Additionally, extensive Ukrainian targeting, prior to use against U.S. and other NATO allies, outlines an increasing trend within Russian cyber threat groups to target Ukrainian users first—both as a priority target and as a testbench for malicious cyber techniques before broader global deployment.</p>
<h2><strong>Targeting details</strong></h2>
<p>LAUNDRY BEAR has targeted and compromised users in various organizations, including those associated with:</p>
<ul>
<li>the Defense Industrial Base (DIB),  </li>
<li>the federal and local government,</li>
<li>education,</li>
<li>energy,</li>
<li>law enforcement,  </li>
<li>media,  </li>
<li>non-governmental organizations, and</li>
<li>technology.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Technical details</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This advisory uses the <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/matrices/enterprise/" target="_blank">MITRE ATT&amp;CK® Matrix for Enterprise</a> framework, version 19. This advisory also uses <a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/" target="_blank">MITRE D3FEND<sup>TM</sup></a> version 1.4.0<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#f15"><sup>15</sup></a>. See <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#appendixa">Appendix A</a> and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#appendixb">Appendix B</a> for tables of the activity mapped to MITRE ATT&amp;CK and D3FEND tactics, techniques, and countermeasures.</p>
<p><em>Ulej </em>is a novel data exfiltration and aggregation capability, that currently (as of the publication of this report) supports a campaign specifically targeting users of ZCS webmail servers. This capability is used to exploit <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a> [Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) <a href="https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/79.html" target="_blank">CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'</a>)], but likely could be adapted to exploit other vulnerabilities. It exfiltrates emails and other sensitive user data from a victim’s system immediately after exploitation and stores the data in an actor-controlled unattributable virtual private server (VPS) [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1074/002/" target="_blank">T1074.002</a>] running LAUNDRY BEAR’s “Flowerbed” collection framework. The collected data is almost certainly further exfiltrated to internal network resources for review and long-term retention.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Reconnaissance</strong></em></h3>
<p>LAUNDRY BEAR uses the <em>Ulej </em>capability to exploit the <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a> vulnerability in organizations using ZCS. This campaign’s targeted victimology and limited exploitation capabilities likely indicate this group manually identifies and targets the victim organizations. LAUNDRY BEAR likely identifies organizations with public-facing Zimbra infrastructure by port scanning [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1595/" target="_blank">T1595</a>] and fingerprinting datasets easily procured through various commercial vendors [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1596/005/" target="_blank">T1596.005</a>].  </p>
<p>After identifying a target organization, the group likely compiles email addresses for individual users to target with the exploit [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1589/002/" target="_blank">T1589.002</a>] from datasets offered by commercial vendors [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1597/002/" target="_blank">T1597.002</a>], open source intelligence [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1593/" target="_blank">T1593</a>], or previously exfiltrated data [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1597/" target="_blank">T1597</a>].  </p>
<h3><em><strong>Resource development </strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>The actors procure VPSs from a variety of providers [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1583/003/" target="_blank">T1583.003</a>], including those with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and often use fabricated identities. LAUNDRY BEAR primarily uses Mullvad VPN [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1583/">T1583</a>] when interacting with these servers, further demonstrating the group’s intent to mask their identity and maintain operations security (OPSEC). After the server is provisioned, an automated process deploys the Docker containers necessary for <em>Ulej’s</em> Flowerbed framework [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1608/">T1608</a>], which then receives and aggregates the data <em>Ulej</em> exfiltrates. These servers are typically only used for 7-60 days before moving to new infrastructure.</p>
<h4><strong>Flowerbed framework</strong></h4>
<p>Flowerbed is a Python project that uses Docker for containerization. The project includes four different Docker containers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Catcher,</li>
<li>Certbot,</li>
<li>Nginx, and</li>
<li>Gardener.</li>
</ul>
<p>Catcher acts as both a DNS and HTTP server to receive and aggregate exfiltrated victim information [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1048/">T1048</a>]. For additional information on Catcher, refer to the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section of this advisory. Flowerbed’s next container, Certbot, is based on one of the official Certbot containers, which allows for automated generation of Let’s Encrypt certificates using DNS challenges through Cloudflare. This certificate can then be used by the Nginx container, which serves as an HTTPS reverse proxy for Catcher, enabling Flowerbed to disguise some of its exfiltration activity through an encrypted communications channel [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1048/002/" target="_blank">T1048.002</a>]. The Nginx reverse proxy also validates that the Server Name Indicator (SNI) value contains “*.i.*” prior to forwarding the traffic to Catcher. If the SNI does not contain that string, the Nginx server returns a 444 error to the client. This is likely an attempt to reject non-Ulej connections. Finally, the Gardener container functions as a health check for the Catcher service. Gardener is a simple Python script that validates Catcher correctly receives and processes data.</p>
<p>The simplistic Flowerbed codebase has indications that artificial intelligence (AI) played a role in its development. This highlights how AI is increasingly being used to develop malicious capabilities [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1588/007/" target="_blank">T1588.007</a>]. The dependence on AI for a simple capability, such as Flowerbed, alongside a previous reliance on open source capabilities, such as Evilginx2 [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1588/002/" target="_blank">T1588.002</a>], likely indicates a lack of advanced technical knowledge within LAUNDRY BEAR, especially in relation to true software development capabilities.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Initial access</strong></em></h3>
<p>To gain initial access, LAUNDRY BEAR sends an email containing a malicious JavaScript payload to the target [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1566/" target="_blank">T1566</a>]. Through exploitation of <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a>, this JavaScript payload is immediately executed once the user views the malicious email [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1203/" target="_blank">T1203</a>], such as the one shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure1"><strong>Figure 1</strong></a>, in the ZCS webmail platform. Since at least November 2025, LAUNDRY BEAR began sending these phishing emails from victim infrastructure through compromised accounts [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1199/" target="_blank">T1199</a>], as shown in the email metadata in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure2"><strong>Figure 2</strong></a>. These compromised accounts were likely previous victims of this, or another LAUNDRY BEAR, campaign and their use is intended to further obfuscate and frustrate anti-phishing tools and training.</p>

<p>According to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), <a href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a> was initially published on 5 January 2026. This vulnerability allows for execution of a JavaScript payload included in email content due to improper sanitization of Cascading Style Sheet’s (CSS) @import directives within an email [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc5">5</a>]. Because the activity attributed to this campaign began in July 2025—months before Synacor released a patch and the CVE was published—the payload initially exploited a zero-day vulnerability at that time [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1587/004/" target="_blank">T1587.004</a>].  </p>
<p><strong>Utilization of a zero-day exploit within this campaign demonstrates the ability for even emerging threat groups like LAUNDRY BEAR to operationalize novel exploits into a highly successful capability.</strong></p>
<p>Hidden in LAUNDRY BEAR’s email is a Base64 encoded payload within the “onload” field of a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) element [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1027/017/" target="_blank">T1027.017</a>], as shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure3"><strong>Figure 3</strong></a>. Leading up to the inclusion of this payload in the SVG element are various instances of @import directives, as required to leverage <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376">CVE-2025-66376</a>. This payload includes an XOR encrypted final script encoded in a Base64 inner payload (see <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure3"><strong>Figure 3</strong></a>) [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1027/013/" target="_blank">T1027.013</a>]. The outer payload decodes and decrypts the inner payload using an XOR function and a hardcoded key and then executes the script contained within the inner payload containing the collection and exfiltration logic. By changing the key used for the XOR encryption of the inner payload or adding additional @import directives with non-functional code [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1027/010/" target="_blank">T1027.010</a>], LAUNDRY BEAR can easily generate new payloads that bypass basic threat detection signatures. This malicious payload attempts to collect and exfiltrate information in 12 asynchronous stages [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1119/">T1119</a>]. The stages in order of appearance within the payload are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>sendStartPing,</li>
<li>gather_email,</li>
<li>gather_environment,</li>
<li>gather_2fa_codes,</li>
<li>gather_app_password,</li>
<li>gather_device_status,</li>
<li>gather_oauth_consumers,</li>
<li>gather_autocomplete_password,</li>
<li>enable_mail_protocols,</li>
<li>gather_gal,</li>
<li>sendArchives, and</li>
<li>sendFinishPing. </li>

<p>Use of a zero-day exploit within this campaign demonstrates the ability for even emerging threat groups like LAUNDRY BEAR to operationalize novel exploits into a highly successful capability [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1587/" target="_blank">T1587</a>].</p>
<h3><em><strong>Persistence and credential access</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>To establish sustained persistence into the victim’s email account, the script attempts to modify account preferences and collect authentication information. Any collected credentials are later exfiltrated, as further described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section below. Other campaigns attributed to LAUNDRY BEAR also demonstrated the group’s ability to circumvent multi-factor authentication through session token replay [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1550/004/" target="_blank">T1550.004</a>], and the Zimbra campaign follows a similar trend.</p>
<p>The script used in this campaign tries to discover the victim’s email address during the <em>gather_email</em> stage [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1087/" target="_blank">T1087</a>]. The script searches for this email address in two ways. First, it examines the <em>batchInfoResponse </em>variable, which an HTML script element on the webpage can define, for an email address. Even if the script finds an email address there, it also checks whether it acquired a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token as described later in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#collection1">Collection</a> section of this advisory. If so, the script uses the “GetIdentitiesRequest” Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) command under the “ZimbraAccount” namespace to determine the victim’s email address [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1185/" target="_blank">T1185</a>] and then exfiltrates it. However, if the script does not have a CSRF token or the SOAP request fails, the script exfiltrates the email value recovered from the first method instead. If both attempts fail to capture the victim’s email, the script sends a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) payload with a key of “email” and value of <em>null </em>over HTTPS and does not attempt DNS exfiltration.</p>
<p>During the <em>gather_autocomplete_password</em> stage, the script attempts to collect the victim’s saved password via the autocomplete feature of the victim’s password manager. The script injects two HTML div elements requesting login credentials onto the page outside of the victim’s view, as shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure4"><strong>Figure 4</strong></a><strong> </strong>and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure5"><strong>Figure 5</strong></a>. After waiting five seconds, the script then attempts to extract the password provided automatically by the password manager from the input element shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure4"><strong>Figure 4</strong></a>. If there is no value in that input field, it checks the password input field shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure5"><strong>Figure 5</strong></a>. If neither input field contains a value, a JSON payload with a key of “autocomplete_password” and value of <em>null </em>is sent over HTTPS and DNS exfiltration is not attempted.</p>

      <figcaption class="c-figure__caption"><em><strong>Figure 5: Second illegitimate login HTML element</strong></em></figcaption>
  </figure>
<p>LAUNDRY BEAR almost certainly relies on a mail client using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) for persistent access to the victim’s mailbox. During the <em>enable_mail_protocols</em> stage, a SOAP request leveraging the “ModifyPrefsRequest” command under the “ZimbraAccount” namespace is sent. This request attempts to set the “zimbraPrefImapEnabled” preference to TRUE. While the default setting for “zimbraPrefImapEnabled” is not well documented, this action is almost certainly intended to ensure that IMAP access to the victim’s mailbox is enabled.</p>
<p>ZCS does not support 2FA for some mail clients, including IMAP. To support users who rely on IMAP clients, ZCS allows for the generation of Application Passcodes. Application Passcodes are randomly generated passwords that can be used for clients that cannot support the normal 2FA process to authenticate. During the <em>gather_app_password</em> stage, the script makes a SOAP request using the “CreateAppSpecificPasswordRequest” command under the “ZimbraAccount” namespace to create a new Application Passcode [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1556/006/" target="_blank">T1556.006</a>]. The SOAP request uses “ZimbraWeb” as the name of the application.</p>
<p>Additionally, the script also attempts to collect 2FA tokens. During the <em>gather_2fa_codes</em> stage, the script makes a SOAP request using the “GetScratchCodesRequest” command under the “ZimbraAccount” namespace. The script then attempts to exfiltrate any non-null 2FA codes collected this way. The number of codes can vary, and each code is exfiltrated to Flowerbed individually.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Collection</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>As demonstrated in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#persistence1">Persistence and credential access</a> section, this script relies heavily on SOAP requests to collect victim information. To make these requests, the script aims to acquire the victim’s current CSRF token, which it attempts to access within the webpage’s local storage using localStorage.getItem("csrfToken"). If the script is unable to acquire this CSRF token, it will be unable to make any SOAP requests. In addition to the SOAP commands documented in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#persistence1">Persistence and credential access</a> section, other SOAP commands executed to collect victim information are shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table1"><strong>Table 1</strong></a>.</p>

<p>The script attempts to collect the victim’s GAL through brute force by searching for each two-character combination from a character set of “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890.-_”. These queries are conducted using 20 batches of SOAP requests with 77 “SearchGalRequest” SOAP commands in each batch except for the last request containing only 58.</p>
<p>During the <em>gather_environment</em> stage, the script attempts to determine which type of ZCS webmail client the victim is using. The script checks the user’s current URL to determine the client type being used, checking for certain indicators (shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table2"><strong>Table 2</strong></a>) to determine the client type. The corresponding value is then used as the payload when exfiltrating the client type.</p>

<p>As part of collection, the script attempts to harvest any emails not marked as “junk” from the last 90 days from the victim’s account. Emails are collected daily by an HTTP GET request to the URL path, “/home/~/?fmt=tgz&amp;meta=0&amp;query=date:-{DAY_OFFSET}d AND (not in:junk)”. The <em>{DAY_OFFSET}</em> value would be between 0 and 89 representing how many days ago the email was sent or received. To prevent redundant collection and exfiltration of emails, a variable with a name based on the email date being queried, using a format of <em>zd_comp_YYYY-MM-DD</em>, and value of <em>true</em>, is saved to the <em>window.top.localStorage</em> property. This variable is saved regardless of whether the email is successfully exfiltrated.  </p>
<p>According to Mozilla documentation, if the user is not in a private browsing session, any data stored to localStorage does not typically expire. This means that if the user happens to execute the script again from the same computer, the script avoids attempting to re-exfiltrate previously captured emails. However, the script always attempts to pull any emails with a <em>{DAY_OFFSET} </em>of zero. In other words, the script always pulls emails sent or received the same day it is run. After email results are returned from the query for each day of email activity, those results are then passed to Flowerbed as described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section.</p>
<p>The script also provides LAUNDRY BEAR with telemetry on any errors that occur during the collection process. This is accomplished by executing any collection or exfiltration code through helper functions that contain error handling logic. If an error occurs, a payload containing information on the error itself, the context of the error happening, and the stage in which the error occurred is sent to Flowerbed as described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section below. For cases where the error occurs within a SOAP request, “:api” is concatenated to the stage value in the payload. If an error occurs during the batch SOAP requests that occur when collecting the GAL of the victim, the stage value will use a format of <em>gather_gal:{VAL}:api</em>. The <em>{VAL}</em> placeholder indicates which batch request, a number from 0 to 19, the error occurred in. Errors that occur during the password autocomplete interception process will use “gather_autocomplete_password:dom” for the stage value. Finally, if an error occurs when attempting to collect or exfiltrate a specific day’s emails, the stage will include which day the error occurred on, using the previously defined placeholder <em>{DAY_OFFSET},</em> with a format of <em>sendArchive:day-{DAY_OFFSET}</em>.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Exfiltration</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>At the end of each stage in the collection process, the script attempts to exfiltrate acquired information to Flowerbed. The script primarily relies on two forms of data exfiltration: DNS [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1048/003/" target="_blank">T1048.003</a>] and HTTPS. Some information is exfiltrated over both the DNS and HTTPS channels.</p>
<p>Prior to exfiltration, a randomized 10- or 11-character alphanumeric string is generated as an identifier for the victim. This identifier is included in the URL of both the DNS- and HTTPS-based exfiltration.  </p>
<h4><strong>DNS exfiltration</strong></h4>
<p>DNS exfiltration occurs through DNS A record queries. To ensure data exfiltrated through DNS is not corrupted when traversing through non-actor-controlled DNS infrastructure, <em>Ulej </em>maintains compliance with RFC 1035, Domain Names - Implementation and Specification, specifically accounting for the case insensitivity and subdomain length requirements. Base32 encoding is used to create a case-insensitive payload. Once the payload is encoded, a period (“.”) is added every 60 characters to ensure each subdomain is under 63 characters long. The script then creates a new image object sourced from a URL with the scheme defined in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure6"><strong>Figure 6</strong></a>. Any traffic involving DNS exfiltration will have “d-“ prefixing the victim identifier, and the subdomain immediately following indicates the type of information being exfiltrated.</p>

<p>When the script generates an image object, the browser tries to retrieve the complete domain of the URL specified as the source of the image. This triggers a DNS request sent to the actor-controlled server and processed by Flowerbed. <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table3"><strong>Table 3</strong></a> lists both the information exfiltrated via DNS and their corresponding data type identifiers in the DNS queries.  </p>

<h4><strong>HTTPS exfiltration</strong></h4>
<p>Any information exfiltrated via DNS is also exfiltrated through HTTPS, as well as additional data including email content, contacts, attachments, and error logging information. By using Let’s Encrypt certificates, this group can quickly deploy new infrastructure and leverage encrypted HTTPS communications with valid server certificates when exfiltrating information from the victim’s environment. The HTTPS exfiltration capability only uses two HTTP content types, defined in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table4"><strong>Table 4</strong></a>. Traffic associated with HTTPS exfiltration will use the URL scheme shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure7"><strong>Figure 7</strong></a>.  </p>

<p>The script sends all exfiltrated data identified in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table6"><strong>Table 6</strong></a> to the Catcher service exactly as received from the SOAP request in a JSON payload, except for email exfiltration. For email exfiltration, the script sends it as a GZIP compressed archive [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1560/" target="_blank">T1560</a>]. Although most of the exfiltration consists of valid JSON, the script still attempts to exfiltrate all information identified in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table6"><strong>Table 6</strong></a> using the application/octet-stream content typing rather than application/json.</p>
<p>At the beginning and end of the collection and exfiltration activity, during the <em>sendStartPing</em> and <em>sendFinishPing </em>stages respectively, the script submits a POST request with a JSON payload to indicate that the script is starting or finishing execution. Throughout execution, the script also logs error events and send the logs using similar JSON payloads. The script sends the JSON in a POST request to the URL documented in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure2"><strong>Figure 2</strong></a>, using a URL path of “/v/p” and with a “subtype” key that shows which type of action it logged (<em>start, finish, or error</em>).  </p>
<h4><strong>Catcher</strong></h4>
<p><em>Ulej </em>exfiltrates information to Flowerbed to be handled by a service named Catcher. Catcher is a containerized Python application, running in Docker as part of Flowerbed, which is detailed in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#resourcedev1">Resource development</a> section. It receives exfiltrated data and temporarily stores it, enabling its eventual transfer to infrastructure designed for long-term, secure storage.</p>
<p>Catcher acts as an HTTP server over port 8000 and a DNS server on port 53. As described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#resourcedev1">Resource development</a> section, the Flowerbed project uses an additional Docker container running an Nginx reverse proxy to enable HTTPS support. This reverse proxy uses a certificate generated by Let’s Encrypt and forwards all traffic with an SNI containing “*.i.*” to port 8000 within the Catcher container.</p>
<p>The DNS service can accept A, AAAA, MX, TXT, and CAA queries. For any MX, AAAA, or CAA queries, the server will always provide an empty response. The system only supports TXT records as needed to process Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) requests, which enable the assignment of Let’s Encrypt certificates. If the server receives an A query, Catcher will always respond with the public IP address of the Flowerbed server.  </p>
<p>However, if a query includes a domain formatted as shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure6"><strong>Figure 6</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure7"><strong>Figure 7</strong></a>, the service saves a log file in JSON format to disk containing the following details of the DNS query:</p>
<ul>
<li>Time of query,</li>
<li>Source IP address for query,</li>
<li>Queried domain, and</li>
<li>Type of query.</li>
</ul>
<p>The HTTP server typically responds with OK, except in cases where the path is “pixel.gif” when the response contains a 1x1 gif image with a SHA-256 hash of ef1955ae757c8b966c83248350331bd3a30f658ced11f387f8ebf05ab3368629. Like the DNS service, the HTTP service will only log entries when the domain found in the host header of the request follows the expected formatting as seen in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure6"><strong>Figure 6</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure7"><strong>Figure 7</strong></a>. As the HTTPS exfiltration uses non-standardized binary and JSON-formatted payloads when exfiltrating to Catcher, Catcher will check the content type of the request. If the content type is set to “application/json”, Catcher encodes the data in Base64 and includes it in the JSON log entry written to disk. If the content type is set to any other value, Catcher leaves the Base64 payload in the JSON log entry blank and saves the payload to a separate file with the same filename as the JSON log entry with a “.bin” file extension. An HTTPS exfiltration event causes Catcher to save a JSON formatted log file to disk containing the following information from the HTTP request:</p>
<ul>
<li>Time,</li>
<li>Source IP address,</li>
<li>Request method,</li>
<li>Host,</li>
<li>Path,</li>
<li>Query string,</li>
<li>Headers, and</li>
<li>Base64 payload.</li>
</ul>
<p>These JSON event log files and binary output files are then initially saved to the directory <em>/root/hits/tmp</em> and later moved to the <em>/root/hits/ready</em> directory once processed. This prevents incomplete files, which are still being uploaded to Catcher, from premature exfiltration from the server. Approximately every 60 seconds, a likely automated workflow establishes a Secure Shell (SSH) connection with the server hosting Flowerbed for a few seconds, almost certainly exfiltrating the data processed by Catcher to non-public-facing infrastructure. The command in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure8"><strong>Figure 8</strong></a> also executes hourly to remove all files last modified at least two days ago from the <em>/root/hits/ready</em> directory.</p>

<h2><strong>Response strategies</strong></h2>
<h3><em><strong>Mitigations</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>In many cases, by the time an organization identifies a compromise related to this campaign, numerous sensitive and proprietary emails have already been exfiltrated. The significant risk posed by this cyber threat emphasizes the importance for organizations that use ZCS and other similar webmail solutions to take proactive steps to mitigate this risk.</p>
<p>All organizations that use the ZCS webmail service should <strong>immediately prioritize</strong> ensuring that their ZCS is not running a vulnerable version. A patch for <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a> was released for both 10.1.13 and 10.0.18 versions of ZCS [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ApplicationHardening">D3-AH</a>]. If immediate patching is not feasible, organizations should advise employees to use alternative mail clients to access email and avoid using the Classic ZCS webmail client until ZCS is updated to a non-vulnerable version [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/tactic/d3f:Isolate/" target="_blank">d3f:Isolate</a>].</p>
<p>System administrators should closely monitor any Internet-connected ZCS or other email systems and the workstations that access those systems and promptly apply available software updates [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ApplicationHardening" target="_blank">D3-AH</a>]. Administrators can maintain awareness of active vulnerability exploitation by referencing open source resources, including <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog">CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog</a> and <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/vulnerability-management/guidance/responding-to-active-exploitation" target="_blank">NCSC-UK’s Responding to active exploitation of vulnerabilities</a> guidance.</p>
<p>Organizations should consider using a third-party authentication service that supports passkeys for authentication to mediate access to ZCS and other services that do not natively support passkeys. By doing so, organizations can work to eliminate the possibility of automated password collection from autocomplete or password reuse [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:CredentialHardening" target="_blank">D3-CH</a>]. However, Application Passcodes may still be necessary and should be monitored closely.  </p>
<p>Organizations should implement network monitoring capabilities with collection and short-term retention of packet capture or NetFlow data and maintain log collection and storage [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#MaintainLogCollectionStorage3Q">CPG 3.Q</a>]. This will allow organizations to monitor for and identify suspicious network activity [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#IdentifyAdverseEvents4B">CPG 4.B</a>], such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Significant amounts of outbound data being sent to IPs associated with VPS providers not used by the organization [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:NetworkTrafficAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-NTA</a>];</li>
<li>Frequent DNS queries for a suspicious domain with seemingly random subdomains [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:DNSTrafficAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-DNSTA</a>];</li>
<li>A sudden spike of connections to a server associated with a recently established domain [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:NetworkTrafficCommunityDeviation">D3-NTCD</a>]; and  </li>
<li>Connections to internal services, such as webmail, from VPN providers frequently leveraged by this group for nefarious activity, such as Mullvad VPN [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:NetworkTrafficCommunityDeviation">D3-NTCD</a>].</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, for organizations that can inspect the content of outbound HTTPS connections via break-and-inspect infrastructure, security teams should identify traffic matching the characteristics described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section of this advisory.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Indicators of compromise (IOCs)</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<h4><strong>Flowerbed infrastructure</strong></h4>
<p>The following indicators have been attributed to use by LAUNDRY BEAR for their campaign targeting ZCS’s webmail service as of the publication of this advisory. (<strong>Disclaimer: </strong>Due to the frequency of operational structure changes by this group, these indicators are intended solely for historic attribution purposes. Some indicators, such as IPs, compromised emails, and domains, may be outdated, so organizations should check for current activity before acting on these IOCs.) <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table7"><strong>Table 7</strong></a> provides details about the server infrastructure used to host Flowerbed, and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table8"><strong>Table 8</strong></a> lists the corresponding SHA-1 hash values for the Let’s Encrypt certificates used by that infrastructure [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:IdentifierActivityAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-IAA</a>].</p>

<p>LAUNDRY BEAR has used the following email addresses to procure resources used for this campaign:</p>
<ul>
<li>ivanka.zurabishvili@proton[.]me,</li>
<li>zmul1@buildandconsulting[.]com,</li>
<li>garrysmithme@pinmx[.]net, and</li>
<li>hostingclient@pinmx[.]net.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Phishing distribution</strong></h4>
<p>LAUNDRY BEAR primarily relied on ProtonMail for distribution of malicious email. However, as stated above, LAUNDRY BEAR’s more recent efforts likely have shifted to distributing the payload through previous victims.  </p>
<p>The following email addresses have distributed payloads attributed to this campaign:</p>
<ul>
<li>c.laurent.ejfa@proton[.]me,</li>
<li>j.moreau.epsc@proton[.]me,</li>
<li>liberty.insights@proton[.]me,</li>
<li>certain email addresses (presumably compromised) at the isofts.kiev[.]ua domain (i.e., ending with @isofts.kiev[.]ua), and</li>
<li>certain email addresses (presumably compromised) at the navs.edu[.]ua domain (i.e., ending with @navs.edu[.]ua).</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, the following are SHA-256 hashes of email samples containing the malicious payload attributed to this campaign:</p>
<ul>
<li>98df604ecc57f884a2e6ce3266a0013ad64455cac48442c2312cfa4765007aaf,</li>
<li>60db9abae75cd8ccc49dd7ea5feb41677566dcd442f12ebc5745ffd2810fb874,</li>
<li>b1f5beb1175fc5c7d1806a2f0d900eb124c54f0286c5c52b66eea7a6633adb1d, and</li>
<li>1517b3caa495f6c4e832df9c75fc94667e3c233773f7fa4e056d5e30e5ead760.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Post-compromise artifacts</strong></h4>
<p>Currently, the script does not remove artifacts. This leaves additional opportunities to identify victims of this activity. While emphasis should always be placed on consistent monitoring of network traffic and endpoint activity, there are a variety of persistent artifacts described below that can be used to identify victims of this campaign.</p>
<p>This <em>Ulej </em>capability relies on creating a significant number of SOAP requests to collect account information for exfiltration. ZCS logs from these requests are stored, by default, in the <em>/opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log</em> file [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ProcessAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-PA</a>]. A significant amount of SOAP request activity that aligns with what was described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#persistence1">Persistence and credential access</a> and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#collection1">Collection</a> sections of this advisory could indicate a potential compromise. Specific examples of high-risk SOAP request activity might include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Many <em>SearchGalRequest </em>command requests from a single user over a short period of time;</li>
<li>Use of the <em>CreateAppSpecificPasswordRequest</em> command, especially in cases where it is creating an Application Passcode named “ZimbraWeb”; and</li>
<li>Use of the GetScratchCodesRequest command.</li>
</ul>
<p>While LAUNDRY BEAR uses the localStorage property to track what days had emails previously exfiltrated, defenders can use this property to identify victims of this campaign and determine the scope of exfiltrated information [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ProcessAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-PA</a>]. Review of the items stored in that property for an organization’s ZCS webmail client page on an endpoint device could indicate compromise if there are items named with a format of <em>zd_comp_YYYY-MM-DD,</em> as explained in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#collection1">Collection</a> section of this advisory.</p>
<p>While Application Passcodes have non-malicious purposes, in this case instances of these passcodes with the name “ZimbraWeb” are almost certainly malicious. The ZCS webmail application can support 2FA natively and does not require the use of an Application Passcode, so there is no reason that there should be one named “ZimbraWeb.”</p>
<p>In instances where organizations identify victims of this campaign, they should also examine the inbox of the suspected victim for the original phishing email [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:MessageAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-MA</a>]. If an email that has a payload exploiting <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376">CVE-2025-66376</a> is discovered, <strong>steps should be taken immediately to identify and quarantine other instances of emails with similar body content, senders, and subject lines to prevent further exploitation and exfiltration.  </strong></p>
<h3><em><strong>Remediation</strong></em></h3>
<p>In the event an organization identifies activity associated with this campaign, that organization should take steps to minimize further exploitation. The organization should consider requesting that employees minimize use of the ZCS webmail client until the organization updates to a patched version that is not vulnerable to <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a>.</p>
<p>Organizations should use identifiers from the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#ioc1">IOCs</a> section of this report to identify any individuals compromised by this campaign and record the date(s) of compromise(s) to determine the scale and scope of emails exfiltrated.</p>
<p>All users from the organization should have all Application Passcodes and 2FA scratch keys revoked. Affected organizations should require all employees to change passwords in line with establishing minimum password strength requirements [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#EstablishMinimumPasswordStrength3B">CPG 3.B</a>] and creating unique credentials [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#CreateUniqueCredentials3C">CPG 3.C</a>], specifically noting that compromised employees might have had any password stored in a password manager exfiltrated.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Steckdose wird zum ständigen Begleiter, das Ladekabel zum wichtigsten Accessoire im Rucksack: Wenn der <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3158726/akkulaufzeit-unter-windows-11-erhoehen.html" target="_blank">Notebook-Akku</a> nachlässt, wächst unweigerlich der Frust im Alltag. Die schlechte Nachricht: Der chemische Alterungsprozess von Lithium-Ionen-Zellen ist unvermeidbar. Doch ein schwacher Akku bedeutet noch nicht zwingend, dass ein älterer <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2215385/die-besten-laptops-test.html" target="_blank">Laptop</a> in den Elektroschrott gehört. Oft lässt sich der Stromspeicher problemlos austauschen und die Reparatur ist wirtschaftlich sinnvoll. Aber nicht in jedem Fall. Wir zeigen, wie Sie sich an Fakten statt am Bauchgefühl orientieren und wann es Zeit wird, sich nach neuer Hardware umzusehen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Diagnose: Fakten statt Bauchgefühl</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-21.17.04.png?w=851" alt="Diagnose" class="wp-image-4198585" width="851" height="1024" sizes="auto, (max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bevor Sie Schraubenzieher zücken oder neue Hardware kaufen, muss geklärt werden: Ist Ihr Akku wirklich verschlissen, oder saugt ressourcenfressende Software im Hintergrund heimlich den Stromspeicher leer? Die Frage ist schnell beantwortet, denn sowohl Windows als auch macOS bieten tiefgreifende <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3014555/laptop-windows-akkubericht.html" target="_blank">Diagnose-Tools</a>, die sich mit wenigen</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Unter Windows:</strong> Öffnen Sie die Windows-Eingabeaufforderung (CMD) oder PowerShell als Administrator und tippen Sie den Befehl</p>



<pre class="wp-block-code"><code><strong>powercfg /batteryreport</strong></code></pre>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ein. Windows generiert daraufhin eine detaillierte HTML-Datei, die tief ins System blicken lässt. Öffnen Sie die Datei unter dem angegebenen Pfad – z.B. „C:\battery-report.html“. Entscheidend sind hier zwei Werte: die <strong>Design Capacity</strong> (die ursprüngliche Nennkapazität Ihres Akkus ab Werk) und die <strong>Full Charge Capacity</strong> (die aktuell noch erreichbare Maximalkapazität). Liegt die aktuelle Kapazität unter <strong>80 Prozent des Ursprungswertes</strong>, gilt ein Akku allgemein als verschlissen. Spätestens wenn er die 70-Prozent-Marke unterschreitet, wird der Kapazitätsverlust im Alltag oft zu einer spürbaren Einschränkung – das Bauteil ist Ende seines Lebenszyklus angekommen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bei macOS:</strong> Auf einem MacBook führt der Weg über das Apfel-Menü zu <strong>Systemeinstellungen → Allgemein → Info → Systembericht</strong>. Unter dem Reiter „Stromversorgung“ finden Sie die Anzahl der Ladezyklen sowie den Zustand. Apple garantiert in der Regel, dass ein Akku nach 1.000 vollständigen Ladezyklen noch mindestens 80 Prozent seiner ursprünglichen Kapazität halten kann. Fällt der Wert darunter, rät das System oft von selbst zum Service.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Schrauben oder schrauben lassen?</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-21.17.18.png?w=1024" alt="Reparaturanleitungen" class="wp-image-4198586" width="1024" height="684" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Auf <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3174903/notebook-akku-tauschen-oder-neukauf-ratgeber.html#" target="_blank">iFixit</a> finden Verbraucher Reparaturanleitungen, Ersatzteile und Werkzeug für zahlreiche Notebooks, Smartphones und andere Elektronikgeräte.</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Foundry</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Steht der Defekt fest oder ist die Alterung bereits weit fortgeschritten, folgt oft eine logistische Herausforderung. Die Hardware-Realität von 2026 ist Verbrauchern nämlich nicht gerade entgegengekommen – zumindest beim Akku: In vielen modernen Ultrabooks, Surface-Geräten oder MacBooks sind die Akkuzellen großflächig im Gehäuse verklebt. Das macht den Tausch für Laien gefährlich, weil bei einer Beschädigung der Zellen <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2590103/akku-brennt-richtig-handeln-und-loeschen.html" target="_blank">akute Brandgefahr</a> besteht.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Gang zur Fachwerkstatt ist deshalb oft alternativlos – achten Sie hierbei am besten auf zertifizierte Betriebe, die eine <strong>Garantie auf das Ersatzteil</strong> gewähren. Anders sieht es bei reparaturfreundlichen Business-Geräten wie dem <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3174903/notebook-akku-tauschen-oder-neukauf-ratgeber.html#" target="_blank">Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5</a> oder Vorreitern der Modularität wie dem <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2230834/framework-laptop-16-test.html" target="_blank">Framework Laptop 16</a> aus: Hier brauchen Sie oft nur einen passenden Schraubendreher und zehn Minuten Zeit, um den Akku selbst zu tauschen. Wie Sie Ihren Akku am Laptop oder am Smartphone selbst tauschen können, <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2666199/akkutausch-so-klappts-beim-smartphone-und-notebook.html" target="_blank">erklären wir in diesem Ratgeber</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Achtung beim Teilekauf:</strong> Sparen Sie nicht am falschen Ende. Extrem billige Nachbau-Akkus von No-Name-Händlern auf großen Marktplätzen bergen nicht nur ein <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3060569/akku-ladefehler-brandgefahr-vermeiden.html" target="_blank">Brandrisiko</a>, sondern schummeln oft auch bei der echten Kapazität. Greifen Sie <strong>unbedingt zu Originalteilen des Herstellers</strong> oder zu zertifizierten Ersatzteilen etablierter Drittanbieter (wie <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3174903/notebook-akku-tauschen-oder-neukauf-ratgeber.html#" target="_blank">iFixit</a>).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn die Diagnose zeigt, dass Ihr Akku physisch noch fit ist, dann liegt das Problem vermutlich an Software mit Selbstbedienungsmentalität. Praktisch: Windows und macOS verfügen über integrierte Stromfresser-Finder. Unter Windows navigieren Sie zu <strong>Einstellungen</strong> <strong>→ Strom und Akku → Akkunutzung</strong>. Dort listet Windows genau auf, welche Apps in den letzten Tagen am meisten Energie verbraucht haben. Auf dem Mac erfüllt die App <strong>Aktivitätsanzeige</strong> (Reiter <strong>Energie</strong>) denselben Zweck. Stoßen Sie hier auf Programme, die Sie gar nicht aktiv nutzen, sollten Sie deren Hintergrundaktivität einschränken oder die Software komplett deinstallieren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>💡 Infobox: Das neue Recht auf Reparatur (Stand 2026)</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das<strong> Recht auf Reparatur </strong>stammt von der Europäischen Kommission und dem EU-Parlament. Ziel des Gesetzespakets ist es, die wachsenden Berge von Elektroschrott auf dem Kontinent zu reduzieren und die Kreislaufwirtschaft zu stärken. Nach der Verabschiedung der EU-Richtlinie im Jahr 2024 hatten die Mitgliedsstaaten bis 2026 Zeit, die Vorgaben <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3174903/notebook-akku-tauschen-oder-neukauf-ratgeber.html#" target="_blank">in nationales Recht umzusetzen</a> – nun greifen die Regeln schrittweise und wirken sich zunehmend auf den Reparaturalltag aus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Was Verbraucher davon haben:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Reparaturpflicht:</strong> Hersteller sind nun gesetzlich verpflichtet, für gängige Elektronikgeräte (wie Smartphones und Laptops) Reparaturen anzubieten – und das auch nach Ablauf der gesetzlichen Gewährleistung.</li>



<li><strong>Zugang zu Ersatzteilen:</strong> Unabhängige Fachwerkstätten und ambitionierte Bastler erhalten leichteren Zugang zu Original-Ersatzteilen und offiziellen Reparaturanleitungen.</li>



<li><strong>Weniger Software-Sperren:</strong> Praktiken wie das sogenannte “Parts Pairing” (bei dem Ersatzteile per Software blockiert werden, wenn sie nicht von einer offiziellen Vertragswerkstatt eingebaut wurden) werden stark eingeschränkt.</li>



<li><strong>Mehr Wirtschaftlichkeit:</strong> Durch den faireren Wettbewerb sinken die Reparaturkosten, was den Tausch eines Akkus oft attraktiver macht als einen teuren Neukauf.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wann lohnt sich der Tausch?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Um zu beurteilen, ob sich die Investition für den Austausch lohnt, hilft die bewährte <strong>50-Prozent-Regel</strong>: Übersteigen die Kosten für die Reparatur (Ersatz-Akku plus eventuelle Arbeitszeit der Werkstatt) mehr als die Hälfte des aktuellen Restwerts des Notebooks, wird die Angelegenheit unwirtschaftlich.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ein Rechenbeispiel:</strong> Ein vier Jahre altes Premium-Notebook, das früher mal 1.500 Euro gekostet hat, bringt auf dem Gebrauchtmarkt vielleicht noch 400 bis 500 Euro. Eine Investition von 120 Euro für einen fachgerechten Akkutausch ist dann noch durchaus sinnvoll und kann dem Gerät weitere zwei bis drei Lebensjahre verschaffen. Bei einem ohnehin leistungsschwachen 400-Euro-Plastikbomber aus dem Jahr 2021 ist eine 100-Euro-Reparatur jedoch (jenseits von Nostalgiegründen) kaum zu vertreten und gilt als unwirtschaftlich.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wann ein Neukauf wirklich sinnvoll ist</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mal ehrlich: Der Akku ist oft nur das offensichtlichste Symptom eines veralteten Systems. Wer über eine Reparatur nachdenkt, sollte objektiv prüfen, ob die restliche Hardware den heutigen Anforderungen noch gewachsen ist – oder ob man mit einem <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2215385/die-besten-laptops-test.html" target="_blank">neuen Laptop</a> besser fährt:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Windows 10 Support-Ende:</strong> Das offizielle Support-Ende von Windows 10 (Oktober 2025) liegt bereits hinter uns. Privatanwender in der EU haben zwar <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2941599/windows-10-gratis-sicher-nutzen-esu-registrierung-so-gehts.html" target="_blank">Glück im Unglück</a>: Wer mit einem Microsoft-Konto angemeldet ist, <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3177497/windows-10-bekommt-ein-weiteres-jahr-lang-updates.html" target="_blank">erhält die Extended Security Updates (ESU) im ersten Jahr bis Oktober 2027 kostenlos.</a> Doch spätestens im Herbst 2027 ist endgültig Schicht im Schacht. Geräte, deren Prozessoren nicht offiziell für Windows 11 zertifiziert sind (ältere CPUs vor der Intel Core 8. Generation oder AMD Ryzen 2000er-Serie), stoßen dann an ihre praktische Lebensdauergrenze. Ohne den auslaufenden ESU-Schutz sollten Sie ab diesem Zeitpunkt bei betroffenen Windows-Geräten nicht mehr in einen neuen Akku investieren.</li>



<li><strong>Speicher-Flaschenhälse:</strong> Verlöteter, nicht aufrüstbarer Arbeitsspeicher von 8 GB stößt selbst bei ausschließlicher Browser-Nutzung und Office-Anwendungen oft an seine Grenzen.</li>



<li><strong>Träge Performance:</strong> Wenn das Notebook nicht nur schnell leer ist, sondern beim Öffnen von Programmen ins Schwitzen kommt und der Lüfter permanent auf Hochtouren läuft, bringt auch der stärkste neue Akku kein flüssiges Arbeitsgefühl zurück.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Zeit für einen neuen Laptop?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn kein (sinnvoller) Weg mehr am Neukauf vorbeiführt, ist das nicht immer eine schlechte Nachricht: Moderne Geräte punkten nicht nur mit deutlich mehr Ausdauer jenseits der Steckdose – sie bringen auch spürbar mehr Tempo und Sicherheit, effizientere Hardware und oft angenehm leise Kühlung in Ihren Alltag.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fazit und Checkliste: Akku tauschen oder Neukauf?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Entscheidung zwischen Werkstatt und Neuanschaffung ist am Ende des Tages ein Abwägen von Kosten, Nutzen und Sicherheit. Die folgende Checkliste hilft dabei, das Schicksal Ihres Notebooks zu klären:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Der Tausch lohnt sich, wenn:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>der Laptop noch alle Leistungsanforderungen im Alltag erfüllt.</li>



<li>Windows 11 offiziell unterstützt wird (oder macOS/Linux aktuell ist).</li>



<li>die Gesamtreparatur weniger als 50 % des Restwerts kostet.</li>



<li>das Gehäuse unbeschädigt ist und Scharniere sowie Tastatur noch zuverlässig funktionieren.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Ein Neukauf ist besser, wenn:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>das Betriebssystem (z. B. Windows 10) keine Sicherheitsupdates mehr erhält.</li>



<li>das Gerät durch 8 GB RAM oder eine alte CPU ohnehin ein Flaschenhals im Alltag ist.</li>



<li>Displayschäden oder defekte Ports weitere, teure Reparaturen erfordern.</li>



<li>die Reparatur den Zeitwert des Geräts deutlich übersteigt.</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Manche Devs arbeiten mit der Kommandozeile (auch Command Line Interface; CLI), weil sie sie <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2818958/was-developer-an-ihrem-job-lieben-und-hassen.html" title="lieben" target="_blank">lieben</a> – andere, weil ihnen nichts anderes übrig bleibt. Egal zu welcher Kategorie Sie sich zählen: Diese neun CLI-Tools helfen Ihrer Produktivität und Effizienz (zusätzlich) <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2816175/so-motivieren-sie-softwareentwickler.html" title="auf die Sprünge" target="_blank">auf die Sprünge</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://tldr.sh/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tldr</a></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keine Angst, wir ersparen Ihnen an dieser Stelle eine langwierige, faszinative Abhandlung über die ganz eigene Magie, die die Unix-Shell entfaltet. Fakt ist: Wenn man mit ihr arbeiten will, ist es manchmal erforderlich, vorher ein Handbuch zu lesen. Unix Docs (auch man- oder manual pages) sind diesbezüglich allerdings ein zweischneidiges Schwert: Die benötigte Information ist vorhanden – es ist nur die Frage, wo. Den Teil der <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2791591/so-erstellen-sie-eine-moderne-dokumentation-fuer-anwendungen.html" title="Dokumentation" target="_blank">Dokumentation</a> aufzuspüren, den Sie gerade benötigen, kann ein entmutigender Task sein. Zwar kann die gute alte Befehlszeile dabei helfen – um ein offizielles Handbuch aufzurufen, genügt:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ man </code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allerdings zeichnen sich man-pages vor allem durch ihre Informationsdichte aus – und die Tatsache, dass sie manchmal aktuelle Informationen für neuere Tools vermissen lassen. Das CLI-Tool <code>tldr</code> versetzt Sie in die Lage, zielgerichteter zu suchen:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ tldr </code></p>



<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" alt="tldr in Aktion." title="tldr in Aktion." src="https://images.computerwoche.de/bdb/3392869/840x473.jpg" width="840" height="473"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p class="foundryImageCaption">tldr in Aktion.</p></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">
					Foto: Matthew Tyson | IDG</p></div>




<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Falls Sie <code>npm</code> installiert haben, ist die <code>tldr</code>-Installation nur einen kurzen Befehl entfernt:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>npm install -g tldr</code></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://ngrok.com/download" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ngrok</a></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sobald Sie <code>tldr</code> installiert haben, können Sie damit viele weitere Befehle erkunden. Zum Beispiel:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ tldr ngrok</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Reverse proxy that creates a secure tunnel from a public endpoint to a locally running web service.</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mit <code>ngrok</code> eröffnet sich Ihnen eine stressfreie Möglichkeit, von einem Remote-Browser auf eine Entwicklungsmaschine zuzugreifen. Aber das Tool kann noch weit mehr. Sie können damit beispielsweise in der Cloud entwickeln und die Ergebnisse im Browser in Augenschein nehmen. Zudem können Sie mit <code>ngrok</code> auch schnell und einfach laufende Services über HTTPS veröffentlichen – ohne sich mit der Security-Infrastruktur herumschlagen zu müssen. Angenommen, Sie bauen einen Service Worker auf, der HTTPS benötigt, dann ist alles, was Sie für einen sicheren Kontext tun müssen, <code>ngrok</code> zu starten.</p>



<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" alt="Das CLI-Tool ngrok macht Devs das Leben auf verschiedenen Ebenen leichter." title="Das CLI-Tool ngrok macht Devs das Leben auf verschiedenen Ebenen leichter." src="https://images.computerwoche.de/bdb/3392870/840x473.jpg" width="840" height="473"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p class="foundryImageCaption">Das CLI-Tool ngrok macht Devs das Leben auf verschiedenen Ebenen leichter.</p></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ein Beispiel, bei dem der HTTP-Port 8080 freigegeben wird:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ ngrok http 8080</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der <code>ngrok</code>-Output sieht wie folgt aus:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>https://f951-34-67-117-59.ngrok-free.app -&gt; <a href="https://localhost:8080/" title="http://localhost:8080" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://localhost:8080</a></code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Anschließend kann jedermann die zugewiesene URL aufrufen (machen Sie sich keine Mühe).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/screen.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">screen</a></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mit diesem Befehlszeilen-Tool können Sie eine Shell-Sitzung mit oder ohne laufenden Prozess “beiseite legen” und sie anschließend zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt fortsetzen – auch wenn Sie die ursprüngliche Session beenden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ tldr screen</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Hold a session open on a remote server. Manage multiple windows with a single SSH connection.</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nehmen wir an, Sie starten <code>ngrok</code>, um remote auf eine <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2805798/7-webseiten-die-ihre-desktop-software-ersetzen.html" title="Webanwendung" target="_blank">Webanwendung</a> zuzugreifen: Sie starten den Prozess, lassen diesen dann in <code>screen</code> laufen und programmieren so lange etwas. Währenddessen läuft <code>ngrok</code> die ganze Zeit weiter – Sie können über <code>screen</code> jederzeit wieder darauf zugreifen. Veranschaulicht in Code würde das wie folgt aussehen:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ screen</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>// Now we are in a new session</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ ngrok http 8080</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>// Now ngrok is running, exposing http port 8080</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Type ctrl-a</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>// Now we are in screen's command mode</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Type the "d" key, to "detach".</code></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tipp</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Wenn Sie eine laufende Sitzung, in der Sie sich gerade befinden, benennen wollen, nutzen Sie die Tastenkombination Strg + A und geben <code>:sessionname </code> ein. Das ist besonders nützlich, wenn Sie mit mehreren Screen-Instanzen arbeiten wollen.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn wie im Beispiel nur eine <code>screen</code>-Instanz läuft, führt der Befehl <code>$ screen -r</code> (für “re-attach”) Sie zurück zu Ihrer <code>ngrok</code>-Sitzung. Im Fall mehrerer Screens können Sie diese mit Hilfe ihrer ID wieder aufrufen:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ screen -r </code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn Sie Ihre Session endgültig beenden wollen, beenden Sie ngrok mit Strg + C und geben anschließend <code>exit</code> in die Kommandozeile ein.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn Sie <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2831436/darum-bleibt-java-relevant.html" title="Java" target="_blank">Java</a> oder <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2794625/was-javascript-von-typescript-unterscheidet.html" title="JavaScript" target="_blank">JavaScript</a> auf einem Server verwenden, sollten Sie sich mit <code>sdkman</code> (für Java) und <code>nvm</code> (für Node) vertraut machen. Beide Kommandozeilen-Tools sind nützlich, wenn es darum geht, mit mehreren Programmiersprachenversionen auf dem selben Rechner zu jonglieren – und dabei sowohl Path Adjustment als auch Umgebungsvariablen überflüssig machen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mit <code>sdkman</code> können Sie beispielsweise neuere Java-Versionen erkunden und anschließend wieder zum aktuellen LTS-Release springen. Dieser Prozess wird durch das <code>sdk</code>-Kommando abstrahiert.</p>



<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" alt="sdkman zeigt alle verfügbaren Java-Installationen auf einem lokalen Rechner an - inklusive derjenigen, die gerade in Benutzung ist." title="sdkman zeigt alle verfügbaren Java-Installationen auf einem lokalen Rechner an - inklusive derjenigen, die gerade in Benutzung ist." src="https://images.computerwoche.de/bdb/3392872/840x473.jpg" width="840" height="473"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p class="foundryImageCaption">sdkman zeigt alle verfügbaren Java-Installationen auf einem lokalen Rechner an – inklusive derjenigen, die gerade in Benutzung ist.</p></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zwischen den Versionen zu wechseln, gestaltet sich denkbar einfach – <code>$ sdk use java 19-open</code> führt Sie direkt zu JDK Version 19.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ tldr sdk</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Manage parallel versions of multiple Software Development Kits.</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Supports Java, Groovy, Scala, Kotlin, Gradle, Maven, Vert.x and many others.</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die <code>nvm</code>-Utility funktioniert ganz ähnlich:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ tldr nvm</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Install, uninstall or switch between Node.js versions.</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Supports version numbers like "12.8" or "v16.13.1", and labels like "stable", "system", etc.</code></p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://github.com/junegunn/fzf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">fzf</a></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sowohl <code>grep</code> als auch <code>find</code> sind Standardbestandteile der Kommandozeilen-Befehlspalette. Allerdings sind beide Tools nicht so funktional, wie sie sein sollten. Das ruft <code>fzf</code> auf den Plan – einen “Fuzzy File Finder”. Mit “Fuzzy” ist dabei gemeint, dass die Details zu dem, was Sie suchen, nicht unbedingt klar definiert sein müssen. Ein Beispiel:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ tldr fzf</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Command-line fuzzy finder.</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Similar to sk.</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sobald Sie <code>fzf</code> starten, indiziert das CLI-Tool umgehend das Dateisystem, um Ergebnisvorschläge für Ihre Suchen zu unterbreiten.</p>



<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" alt="In diesem Beispiel suchen wir nach einem Projekt, an dem wir zuletzt gearbeitet haben." title="In diesem Beispiel suchen wir nach einem Projekt, an dem wir zuletzt gearbeitet haben." src="https://images.computerwoche.de/bdb/3392874/840x473.jpg" width="840" height="473"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p class="foundryImageCaption">In diesem Beispiel suchen wir nach einem Projekt, an dem wir zuletzt gearbeitet haben.</p></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aus 878.937 Möglichkeiten hat <code>fzf</code> die 25 Dateien und Verzeichnisse ausgewählt, die unseren Anforderungen entsprechen könnten – und das völlig ohne Umwege.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://github.com/ogham/exa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">exa</a></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mit <code>exa</code> werden langweilige alte <code>ls</code>-Listings schöner und nützlicher:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ tldr</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>A modern replacement for ls (List directory contents).</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Für eine <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2834060/10-wege-zur-besseren-developer-experience.html" title="bessere Developer Experience" target="_blank">bessere Developer Experience</a> ohne mentalen Overhead statten Sie <code>ls</code> einfach mit einem <code>exa</code>-Alias aus. Das Tool respektiert die meisten <code>ls</code>-Standardoptionen – <code>exa -l</code> funktioniert also (beispielsweise) genau so, wie Sie es erwarten würden.</p>



<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" alt="Exa ist das neue ls." title="Exa ist das neue ls." src="https://images.computerwoche.de/bdb/3392875/840x473.jpg" width="840" height="473"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p class="foundryImageCaption">Exa ist das neue ls.</p></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://github.com/sharkdp/bat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">bat</a></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die <code>bat</code>-Utility ähnelt dem <code>cat</code>-Tool – ist aber besser:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>$ tldr bat</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>Print and concatenate files.</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><code>A cat clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration.</code></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Es handelt sich hierbei im Wesentlichen um eine Komfort- beziehungsweise <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2821891/8-wege-um-top-entwickler-zu-halten.html" title="Developer-Experience-Optimierung" target="_blank">Developer-Experience-Optimierung</a> – ähnlich wie im Fall von <code>exa</code>. Wenn Sie <code>bat</code> verwenden, erwartet Sie ein vollwertiger File Viewer – inklusive Title, Borders, Line Numbers und insbesondere einer hilfreichen Syntax-Highlighting-Funktion für Programmiersprachen oder Konfigurationsdateien. Dabei reagiert <code>bat</code> auf less/more-Befehle – und wird mit “<code>q</code>” beendet. Die Navigation erfolgt über die Pfeiltasten.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Auf einen Blick</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pro</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Wunderschönes, schlankes Design</li>



<li>Große, helle Displays</li>



<li>Hervorragende Kameras</li>



<li>Coole Software-Funktionen</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Kontra</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Hoher Preis</li>



<li>MagicOS kann gelegentlich frustrierend sein</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fazit</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Honor Magic V6 ist ein Falt-Smartphone, das einfach alles kann. Es ist schlank, robust, leistungsstark und sieht gut aus. Die Kameras gehören zu den besten, die Software bietet einige raffinierte Funktionen und die Akkulaufzeit ist außergewöhnlich. Besitzer eines Magic V5 werden wahrscheinlich kaum einen Grund für ein Upgrade sehen, aber für alle anderen ist es eine gute Wahl – sofern Sie es sich leisten können.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Honor Magic V6 wurde ursprünglich bereits im März in China vorgestellt, doch es dauerte eine Weile, bis es den Weg nach Europa fand. Nun ist es endlich in Europa erhältlich und strebt den Titel des bislang <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2109390/bestes-falt-smartphone.html" target="_blank">besten Falt-Smartphones</a> an.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leider ist die Konkurrenz für Honor stärker denn je, und sie wird noch härter werden, sobald Apples seit Langem gemunkeltes Foldable auf den Markt kommt. Bietet dieses schlanke Kraftpaket genug, um weiterhin überzeugend zu bleiben?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Es sieht auf jeden Fall vielversprechend aus, verfügt über einen der größten Akkus aller jemals erschienenen Falt-Smartphones, ist das erste mit IP69-Zertifizierung und gehört dennoch zu den dünnsten Modellen. Das ist schon mal ein guter Anfang. Ich habe es in den vergangenen Wochen auf Herz und Nieren geprüft, und hier ist mein Fazit.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Design &amp; Verarbeitung</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Aluminiumrahmen, Rückseite aus Verbundfasermaterial</li>



<li>219 g, NanoCrystal Shield-Glas</li>



<li>IP69-zertifiziert</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Honor Magic V6 sieht dem <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2838914/honor-magic-v5-test.html" target="_blank">Magic V5</a> sehr ähnlich, wobei der auffälligste Unterschied in der Form des Kamerarahmens liegt. Dieser ist nun kantiger und weist eine achteckige Form auf. Auch neue Farbvarianten tragen dazu bei, es von der Vorgängergeneration abzugrenzen.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.14.26.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199606" width="1024" height="586" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die rote Version ist wahrscheinlich die auffälligste; sie verfügt über eine tiefrote, fast blutrote Rückseite mit strukturierter Oberfläche. Ich besitze die goldene Version, die ebenfalls sehr auffällig ist. Freunde haben bemerkt, dass es wie ein Smartphone aussieht, das ein saudischer Prinz oder Kim Kardashian benutzen würde.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Farbe schimmert leicht, wenn Licht darauf fällt; sowohl am Scharnier als auch auf der Rückseite ist ein dezentes, sich wiederholendes Dreiecksmuster zu erkennen, und es bleibt irgendwie frei von Fingerabdrücken, obwohl es ziemlich glänzend ist. Das sieht wirklich cool aus. Auch die mitgelieferte Hülle ist von höchster Qualität, mit einem cremefarbenen Kunstlederbezug und einem roségoldenen Kamerarahmen, der gleichzeitig als ausklappbarer Ständer dient.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn Sie etwas suchen, das etwas weniger Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zieht, gibt es natürlich auch traditionellere Modelle in Schwarz und Weiß. Letzteres hat zudem einen versteckten Vorteil: Mit nur 8,75 Millimetern im geschlossenen Zustand ist es das dünnste Modell der Reihe, und Honor geht davon aus, dass es derzeit das dünnste Falt-Smartphone auf dem Markt ist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ich habe das weiße Modell nicht ausprobiert, und vielleicht ist es tatsächlich spürbar schlanker, aber meiner Meinung nach sieht die goldene Version definitiv etwas dicker aus und fühlt sich auch so wie mein 8,9 Millimeter dickes <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2843601/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-test.html" target="_blank">Galaxy Z Fold 7</a> an.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das ist allerdings Haarspalterei, denn dieses Smartphone ist immer noch dünner als viele Flaggschiff-Smartphones im Barrenformat. Ob es nun das dünnste ist oder nicht – es ist auf jeden Fall dünn genug, um sich in der Hosentasche angenehm anzufühlen.<br><br></p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.14.34.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199607" width="1024" height="586" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Erwähnenswert ist auch, dass das Cover-Display nun flach ist und eine symmetrischere Form aufweist. Dadurch sieht das Smartphone im zusammengeklappten Zustand noch mehr wie ein herkömmliches Barren-Handy aus, doch die unvermeidliche, eckige Kante am Scharnier verrät es ein wenig.<br><br></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So wichtig die Abmessungen eines Klapphandys auch sind, ebenso entscheidend ist die Robustheit. Und glücklicherweise ist das Honor Magic V6 robust wie ein Panzer gebaut.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Es verfügt über die Schutzklasse IP69 – die höchste aller faltbaren Smartphones. Das bedeutet, dass es praktisch staubdicht ist und sowohl das Eintauchen in Süßwasser als auch den Strahl von heißem Wasser problemlos aushält. Die Technologie der faltbaren Smartphones hat große Fortschritte gemacht.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Es ist zudem besonders robust konstruiert, mit kratzfestem „NanoCrystal Shield“-Glas auf der Vorderseite und einem „Super Steel“-Scharnier, das die Stoßfestigkeit verbessert.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SGS-Zertifizierungen untermauern diese Angaben ebenfalls, da das Smartphone für seine Fallfestigkeit mit 5 Sternen ausgezeichnet wurde. Ich habe mein Testgerät nicht allzu grob behandelt, aber es ist beruhigend zu wissen, dass es unversehrt bleiben dürfte, sollte mir einmal ein Ausrutscher unterlaufen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bildschirm &amp; Lautsprecher</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Außen: 6,52 Zoll, 1.080 x 2.420, OLED, 120 Hertz</li>



<li>Innen: 7,95 Zoll, 2.172 × 2.352, OLED, 120 Hertz</li>



<li>Stereolautsprecher</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bei Falt-Smartphones dreht sich alles um den Bildschirm. Beginnen wir also mit dem Star der Show: dem inneren Display. Mit einer Diagonale von knapp unter 8 Zoll gehört es zu den größten Falt-Smartphones im Buchformat auf dem Markt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Es ist nahezu perfekt quadratisch, was sich hervorragend für die parallele Nutzung zweier Apps eignet.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.14.39.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199608" width="1024" height="586" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dieses flexible Display verfügt über eine Bildwiederholfrequenz von 120 Hertz und erreicht eine beeindruckende Spitzenhelligkeit von 5.000 Nits. Solche Helligkeitsangaben sollten Sie zwar stets mit einer gehörigen Portion Skepsis betrachten, doch unabhängig davon handelt es sich um ein sehr helles Display, das auch im Freien gut ablesbar ist.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der innere Bildschirm ist mit einer glänzenden Schutzfolie versehen (wenn auch mit einer Antireflexbeschichtung), was sowohl Vor- als auch Nachteile mit sich bringt. Wie ich bereits in anderen Testberichten zu Falt-Smartphones erwähnt habe, kaschieren mattierte Schutzfolien die Falz zwar besser, ziehen aber auch Fingerabdrücke an. Diese hier verschmiert nicht so leicht, doch trotz aller Bemühungen von Honor treten entlang der Falz einige unerwünschte Reflexionen auf.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.14.44.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199609" width="1024" height="586" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Apropos: Die Falz ist bewundernswert flach, und noch vor nicht allzu langer Zeit wäre sie die beste gewesen, die mir je begegnet wäre. Allerdings nutze ich das Oppo Find N6 seit seiner Markteinführung fast täglich, und leider kann dieses Modell da nicht ganz mithalten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Es ist dennoch äußerst beeindruckend und um Längen besser als das <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2945312/google-pixel-10-pro-test-3.html" target="_blank">Pixel 10 Pro Fold</a>. Auch im Vergleich zum Galaxy Z Fold 7 fällt die Falz etwas weniger auf.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Was das Außendisplay betrifft, so ist es fast nicht von dem Bildschirm eines Flaggschiff-Handys im Barren-Format zu unterscheiden, abgesehen davon, dass es ganz leicht schmaler ist als üblich. Es verfügt über schöne, schmale Einfassungen an allen Seiten, eine flinke Bildwiederholfrequenz von 120 Hertz und eine noch höhere Spitzenhelligkeit von 6.000 Nits.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wie bereits bei den letzten Generationen der faltbaren Honor-Modelle gibt es keine nennenswerten Nachteile bei der Nutzung des zusammengeklappten Telefons; es fühlt sich einfach wie ein normales Smartphone an. Wenn Sie dann einen größeren Bildschirm für Ihre Inhalte, Spiele oder Multitasking benötigen, klappen Sie es einfach auf.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.14.47.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199611" width="1024" height="586" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wie üblich hat Honor einiges in Funktionen zum Augenschutz investiert, und beide Bildschirme unterstützen eine PWM-Dimmung mit 4.320 Hertz. Das werden Sie besonders zu schätzen wissen, wenn Sie empfindlich auf Flackern reagieren. Beide Bildschirme unterstützen zudem die Eingabe per Stylus, allerdings hatte ich leider keinen Honor-Stylus zur Hand, um dies auszuprobieren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die luxuriösen Displays werden durch ein ordentliches Lautsprecherset ergänzt. Das Stereopaar erzeugt eine schöne, breite Klangbühne, kann mehr als laut genug werden und bietet eine ordentliche Basswiedergabe. Sie können zwar nicht mit den bassbetonten Lautsprechern des <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3041397/honor-magic-8-pro-test.html" target="_blank">Magic 8 Pro</a> mithalten, aber bei einem so schlanken Gehäuse sind die Möglichkeiten nun einmal begrenzt.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technische Daten &amp; Leistung</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5</li>



<li>16 GB RAM</li>



<li>512 GB Speicher</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Magic V6 verfügt über den leistungsstärksten Chip von Qualcomm, den Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, und das globale Modell ist mit 16 GB RAM und 512 GB Speicher ausgestattet. Bei einem so schlanken Falt-Smartphone stellt die Wärmeableitung stets eine Herausforderung dar, doch Honor hat hier eine großzügig dimensionierte Vapor-Chamber verbaut, um eine optimale Leistung zu gewährleisten.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.14.51.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199612" width="1024" height="586" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das V6 hat meine täglichen Leistungsanforderungen problemlos erfüllt. Bei einem Falt-Smartphone habe ich oft drei Apps gleichzeitig geöffnet, wechsle zwischen ihnen hin und her und spiele häufig gleichzeitig Musik ab oder streame Videos. Selbst dann kam das Smartphone kaum ins Schwitzen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Man muss schon ein ziemlich anspruchsvolles Spiel starten, um dieses Smartphone ein wenig ins Schwitzen zu bringen, und wie es der Zufall so will, bin ich ziemlich süchtig nach <em>NTE: Neverness to Everness</em> (ein Open-World-Spiel mit atemberaubender Grafik und einer riesigen Stadtkarte, mit deren Darstellung die meisten Smartphones zu kämpfen haben). Doch das Magic V6 hatte damit kaum Probleme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Spiel lief bei der Grafikvoreinstellung „Extreme“ flüssig mit 60 FPS, und obwohl es sich ziemlich stark erwärmte – insbesondere im Bereich der Kamera –, schien die Leistung darunter nicht zu leiden. Die beste Erfahrung machte ich mit einem GameSir-Clamp-Controller, der die Wärme von meinen Handflächen fernhielt.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Honor Magic V6 – Benchmark-Ergebnisse</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Was die Benchmark-Ergebnisse angeht, wird es recht interessant. Während die meisten Ergebnisse hervorragend waren, hatte das Smartphone erhebliche Schwierigkeiten, den 3DMark Wildlife Extreme Stress Test abzuschließen. Normalerweise führe ich diesen Test bei aufgeklapptem Smartphone durch, doch es überhitzte sich und brach den Benchmark jedes Mal ab, wenn ich es versuchte.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zugegebenermaßen war es in letzter Zeit recht warm, doch so etwas ist mir bisher noch nie passiert. Bei der Durchführung des Tests auf dem Cover-Display konnte es den Test mit einem ordentlichen Ergebnis abschließen, auf dem klappbaren Bildschirm war dies jedoch nicht möglich. Im alltäglichen Gebrauch hatte ich jedoch nie derartige Probleme.</p>



<div class="infogram-embed" data-id="c07985c1-d0b5-46f6-bd84-2898abc5f4fa" data-type="interactive" data-title="Honor Magic V6 benchmarks"></div>




<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kameras</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>50-MP-Hauptkamera mit f/1,6</li>



<li>64 MP, f/2,5, 3-fach-Tele</li>



<li>50 MP, f/2,2 Ultraweitwinkel</li>



<li>20 MP, f/2,2 Selfie-Kamera</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Honor Magic V6 verfügt über dieselbe Kamera-Hardware wie die Vorgängergeneration, was bedeutet, dass es keine nennenswerten Neuerungen gibt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allerdings verfügte das V5 bereits über eine der beeindruckendsten Kameraausstattungen unter allen faltbaren Smartphones, und die Konkurrenz hat sich in dieser Hinsicht nicht sonderlich ins Zeug gelegt – daher gehört es nach wie vor zu den Besten.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.14.59.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199614" width="1024" height="586" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Auf der Rückseite befindet sich eine 50-MP-Hauptkamera mit einem Sensor von ansehnlicher Größe (1/1,56 Zoll) und einem lichtstarken f/1,6-Objektiv. Hinzu kommen eine 50-MP-Ultraweitwinkelkamera mit einem extrem weiten Sichtfeld (entspricht 13 mm) sowie ein ausgezeichnetes 64-MP-Teleobjektiv. Außerdem gibt es zwei 20-MP-Selfie-Kameras, von denen jeweils eine durch das jeweilige Display ragt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dies ist eine äußerst vielseitige Objektivausstattung, mit der Sie alles aufnehmen können – von weitläufigen Landschaften bis zu intimen Porträts. Wie üblich hat mir die Verwendung des Teleobjektivs am meisten Spaß gemacht, und dies könnte die beste Tele-Kamera sein, die jemals in einem faltbaren Smartphone verbaut wurde.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Es verfügt über einen recht großen 1/2-Zoll-Sensor und kann aus sehr kurzer Entfernung fokussieren. Ihr Motiv muss sich lediglich etwa 20 Zentimeter vom Objektiv entfernt befinden, und in Kombination mit der Brennweite von 70 mm (äquivalent) entsteht so eine schöne perspektivische Kompression und ein natürliches Bokeh.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Natürlich können Sie mit einem digitalen Ausschnitt noch weiter zoomen, und die Kamera-App ermöglicht Ihnen auf Wunsch eine bis zu 100-fache Vergrößerung. Bei einer Vergrößerung von mehr als 10-fach können Sie generative KI nutzen, um die Bilder zu bereinigen, doch auch ohne diese Funktion erhalten Sie bereits bei etwa 20-facher Vergrößerung brauchbare Bilder.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ich habe bereits erwähnt, wie weitwinklig das Ultraweitwinkelobjektiv ist, und das gefällt mir besonders gut daran; ansonsten ist es jedoch im Vergleich zu den anderen Objektiven definitiv ein Qualitätsverlust.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nachts ist es zudem am wenigsten überzeugend, da Bewegungsunschärfe dort nur schwer zu bewältigen ist. Bei den richtigen Lichtverhältnissen ist es jedoch zu wirklich beeindruckenden Aufnahmen fähig.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.15.23.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199618" width="1024" height="918" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Hauptkamera ist wie immer die zuverlässigste des Trios. Dank des größeren Sensors schneidet sie bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen am besten ab und liefert tagsüber etwas schärfere Bilder als die anderen Kameras.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Selfie-Kameras sind nichts Besonderes. Sie erfüllen ihren Zweck und eignen sich für Zoom-Anrufe, doch wenn man auf der Rückseite so beeindruckende Kameras hat, lohnt es sich wirklich, das Smartphone umzudrehen und den Bildschirm auf der Rückseite zu nutzen, um wirklich beeindruckende Fotos zu machen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Bildverarbeitung von Honor kann etwas unbeständig sein, aber ich habe den Eindruck, dass sie immer konsistenter wird, und wenn sie funktioniert, lassen sich wirklich atemberaubende Bilder erzielen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mein größter Kritikpunkt ist die Bewegungsunschärfe im Porträtmodus. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, woran es liegt, aber ich erhalte viele unscharfe Aufnahmen, wenn die künstliche Hintergrundunschärfe aktiviert ist – selbst bei guten Lichtverhältnissen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ansonsten bin ich mit den Bildern, die ich mit dem Magic V6 aufgenommen habe, sehr zufrieden. Die Harcourt-Porträtmodi sind so beeindruckend wie eh und je, und mit den übrigen Filtern lässt sich der Look Ihrer Fotos ziemlich drastisch verändern. Besonders gut gefällt mir der Filter „Nostalgic Negative“, der einen schönen, kontrastreichen Cross-Entwicklungs-Look mit blauen Schatten erzeugt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Was die Videoaufnahmen angeht, ist das Angebot etwas weniger umfangreich. Das soll nicht heißen, dass es schlecht ist, aber nachdem ich viel Zeit mit dem Oppo Find N6 verbracht habe, habe ich mich an ein ordentliches Log-Profil, 4K-120-Aufnahmen und Dolby Vision gewöhnt. Nichts davon ist hier vorhanden. Es gibt zwar ein Log-Profil, dieses funktioniert jedoch nur mit dem Hauptsensor und erzeugt ungewöhnlich körnige Schatten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn Sie jedoch keine ganz so professionellen Ansprüche haben, werden Sie mit der Videoleistung wahrscheinlich sehr zufrieden sein. Sie können mit jeder Kamera bis zu 4K bei 60 FPS aufnehmen, mit Ausnahme der Selfie-Kamera, die maximal 4K bei 30 FPS erreicht. Die Bildstabilisierung ist gut, und auch die Mikrofone sind ordentlich.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Akkulaufzeit &amp; Aufladen</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>6.660-mAh-Akku</li>



<li>80-Watt-Laden über Kabel</li>



<li>66 Watt kabelloses Laden</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Honor Magic V6 verfügt über den größten Akku aller faltbaren Smartphones, die ich bisher getestet habe. Irgendwie ist es Honor gelungen, einen 6660-mAh-Akku in dieses hauchdünne Gehäuse zu integrieren. Samsun wird hoffentlich davon lernen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Diese Kapazität verblasst zwar im Vergleich zur chinesischen 1-TB-Version dieses Smartphones, die über einen erstaunlichen 7.150-mAh-Akku verfügt, doch wie wir in letzter Zeit oft gesehen haben, bedeuten die EU-Vorschriften, dass wir im Westen keinen ganz so massiven Akku erhalten können.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.15.38.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199619" width="1024" height="574" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das spielt jedoch keine allzu große Rolle, denn dieser Akku ist mehr als gut genug. Obwohl ich den großen internen Bildschirm häufig nutzte und unzählige Fotos machte, reichte die Akkulaufzeit dieses Smartphones während des Großteils meiner Tests für eineinhalb Tage. Natürlich verkürzt intensives Gaming die Laufzeit etwas, aber Sie werden das Gerät selten, wenn überhaupt, vor dem Schlafengehen aufladen müssen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Auch das Aufladen erfolgt schnell, vorausgesetzt, Sie verfügen über ein ausreichend leistungsstarkes Netzteil (im Lieferumfang ist lediglich ein USB-C-Kabel enthalten), um die 80-Watt-Geschwindigkeit nutzen zu können. Ich konnte das Gerät in nur einer halben Stunde von leer auf fast 70 Prozent aufladen; mehr kann man sich kaum wünschen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn Sie kabelloses Laden bevorzugen, ist dies ohne nennenswerte Einbußen bei der Geschwindigkeit möglich. Das Honor Magic V6 lässt sich mit einem offiziellen kabellosen Ladepad von Honor mit bis zu 66 Watt aufladen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Software &amp; Apps</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>MagicOS 10, basierend auf Android 16</li>



<li>Zahlreiche KI-Funktionen</li>



<li>Kompatibilität mit dem Apple-Ökosystem</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Auf dem Magic V6 läuft MagicOS 10, Honors eigene Variante von <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2781437/android-16-release-design-funktionen-kompatible-geraete.html" target="_blank">Android 16</a>. Es handelt sich im Wesentlichen um dieselbe Software, die wir bereits von den letzten Honor-Flaggschiffmodellen kennen. Wenn Sie also bereits eines dieser Modelle ausprobiert haben, werden Sie kaum Überraschungen erleben.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.15.46.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199620" width="1024" height="574" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Software von Honor kann die Meinungen spalten. Sie weicht ziemlich stark vom typischen Android-Erlebnis ab; stattdessen erinnert sie zunehmend an iOS. Ob das nun gut ist oder nicht, hängt ganz von Ihren Vorlieben ab.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allerdings lässt sich die Benutzeroberfläche extrem gut anpassen – wenn Ihnen also das Design oder das Layout einer Funktion nicht gefällt, können Sie es höchstwahrscheinlich ändern.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Insgesamt gefällt sie mir recht gut. Sie wirkt schnell und reaktionsfreudig, sieht standardmäßig ansprechend aus und bietet zahlreiche Werkzeuge zur weiteren Anpassung. Wie bereits erwähnt, gibt es zahlreiche Anlehnungen an iOS, darunter einige „Liquid Glass“-ähnliche Elemente, einen „Dynamic Island“-Klon, geteilte Benachrichtigungen/Schnelleinstellungen sowie die Möglichkeit, die App-Übersicht zu deaktivieren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das sind zwar nicht die originellsten Entscheidungen, aber sie funktionieren gut, und die meisten sind vollkommen optional.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Honor bietet Ihnen eine Vielzahl von KI-Funktionen, darunter die üblichen Tools für Transkription, Übersetzung und Zusammenfassung sowie einige sehr fortschrittliche Funktionen zur Fotobearbeitung.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.15.53.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199623" width="1024" height="574" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Auch das Multitasking ist hervorragend. Sie können Apps im Split-View nebeneinander anzeigen und dann eine dritte hinzufügen, die nur am Rand des Bildschirms hervorblitzt und bei Bedarf sofort einsatzbereit ist. Oder, wenn Sie es vorziehen, können Sie schwebende Fenster nutzen und so noch mehr Inhalte gleichzeitig auf dem Bildschirm anzeigen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Am spannendsten finde ich jedoch die Art und Weise, wie sich das Magic V6 in Apple-Produkte integrieren lässt. Insbesondere, wie gut es mit meinem Macbook zusammenarbeitet. Wenn Sie die Honor Workstation-App aus dem Mac App Store installieren, können Sie Dateien austauschen, zwischen Geräten kopieren und einfügen, Ihr Smartphone fernsteuern und das V6 sogar als drahtlosen zweiten Bildschirm nutzen.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.15.58.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199625" width="1024" height="574" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Doch damit ist der Spaß noch lange nicht vorbei. Das Honor Magic V6 kann auch nativ Dateien in Ihrem iCloud-Konto durchsuchen und verwalten, und mit Honor Connect können Sie Dateien auch per AirDrop zu und von iPhones übertragen. Das ist großartig, wenn Sie ständig zwischen verschiedenen Ökosystemen hin- und herwechseln (wie ich es oft tue).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Insgesamt ist es also ein solides Software-Erlebnis, das jedoch nicht ganz ohne Nachteile ist. Meine größte Kritik an Honor-Smartphones ist seit einigen Jahren unberücksichtigt geblieben. Das Akkumanagement ist extrem aggressiv und beendet standardmäßig Hintergrund-Apps mit rücksichtsloser Härte.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das bedeutet, dass Sie häufig unter stark verzögerten Benachrichtigungen leiden, bis Sie einige Einstellungen anpassen und sicherstellen, dass diese Apps geöffnet bleiben.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-19-um-22.16.03.png?w=1024" alt="Honor Magic V6" class="wp-image-4199626" width="1024" height="574" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Luke Baker</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br><br>Das lässt sich zwar leicht beheben, und ich kann die Logik dahinter nachvollziehen – schließlich bieten Honor-Smartphones stets eine hervorragende Akkulaufzeit –, doch es ist äußerst ärgerlich, und ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn dieses Problem behoben würde.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Honor verspricht sieben Jahre lang Software-Updates und Sicherheitspatches für seine Flaggschiff-Geräte und liegt damit auf einer Stufe mit Samsung und Apple. Viel besser geht es kaum, auch wenn Sie möglicherweise eine Weile auf das auf <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2990238/android-17-release-features-update-2.html" target="_blank">Android 17</a> basierende MagicOS 11 warten müssen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Preis &amp; Verfügbarkeit</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Honor Magic V6 kann ab sofort in Deutschland und den meisten anderen Ländern der Welt bestellt werden, wobei die USA wie üblich ausgeschlossen sind. Hierzulande liegt der Preis bei stolzen <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3183215/honor-magic-v6-test-review.html#" target="_blank">2.299 Euro</a>, wobei es bis zum 31. Juli noch einen Rabatt von 600 Euro gibt (Endpreis: 1.699,90 Euro).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Als besonderes Einführungsangebot legt Honor auch eine Reihe kostenloser Extras wie ein Tablet, einen Stift und ein Set Earbuds bei. Das macht eine Beurteilung des Preises ziemlich schwierig. Auf dem Papier ist das Magic V6 deutlich teurer als das V5, das im vergangenen Jahr für 1.999 Euro auf den Markt kam. Und das schmerzt, insbesondere wenn man bedenkt, dass es seinem Vorgänger so ähnlich ist. Mit dem Rabatt ist es jedoch günstiger.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Preislich bewegt es sich trotzdem noch in einem ähnlichen Rahmen wie viele andere Falt-Smartphones, die wir getestet haben. Darunter das <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3168239/motorola-razr-fold-test.html" target="_blank">Motorola Razr Fold</a>, <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2843601/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-test.html" target="_blank">das Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7</a> und <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2945312/google-pixel-10-pro-test-3.html" target="_blank">das Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sollten Sie das Honor Magic V6 kaufen?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Magic V6 ist zweifellos eines der attraktivsten faltbaren Smartphones, die derzeit auf dem Markt erhältlich sind. Die Hardware ist hervorragend, die Bildschirme sind beeindruckend, es ist leistungsstark und die Kameras sind erstklassig. Wenn Sie ein faltbares Smartphone mit großem Bildschirm suchen, aber bei den Kameras keine allzu großen Abstriche machen möchten, ist dies eine hervorragende Wahl.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Allerdings könnten versierte Käufer sich für das <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2838914/honor-magic-v5-test.html" target="_blank">Vorjahresmodell</a> entscheiden und für deutlich weniger Geld ein sehr ähnliches Gesamterlebnis erhalten. Es ist nach wie vor extrem leistungsstark und verfügt über dieselben Kameras. Es wird jedoch nicht ewig vorrätig sein.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Man sollte auch bedenken, dass das Galaxy Z Fold 8 und das Z Fold 8 Ultra voraussichtlich im Juli 2026 erscheinen werden, während Apples lang erwartetes faltbares iPhone wahrscheinlich im September vorgestellt wird. Ich persönlich würde mir daher erst einmal ansehen, was diese Modelle zu bieten haben, bevor ich den Sprung wage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn Sie nicht warten können, ist das Honor Magic V6 eine hervorragende Wahl und wird dies wahrscheinlich auch bleiben. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass Samsung die Akkukapazität übertreffen wird, und ich bezweifle sehr, dass es in puncto Kameraleistung übertroffen wird. Abgesehen von ein paar kleinen Software-Mängeln ist es ein brillantes Smartphone.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fazit</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Ultrahuman Ring Pro bietet ein hervorragendes Hardware- und Software-Erlebnis und zählt damit zu den besten Smart-Ringen. Das Problem ist der hohe Anschaffungspreis, ganz zu schweigen davon, dass die Konkurrenz – sowohl bei Modellen mit als auch ohne Abonnement – für manche Nutzer attraktivere Eigenschaften bieten kann.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Ultrahuman Ring Pro ist der neueste <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3063681/bester-smart-ring-test.html" target="_blank">Smart-Ring</a> eines Unternehmens, das sich seit Langem im Konflikt mit Oura befindet. Nachdem der Verkauf seines Vorgängermodells in den USA vorübergehend untersagt worden war, kehrt Ultrahuman nun mit einem neuen Ring zurück, der über neu gestaltete Sensoren, eine verbesserte Prozessorleistung und eine längere Akkulaufzeit verfügt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3063689/ultrahuman-ring-air-test-2.html" target="_blank">Ring Air</a> ist weiterhin als günstigere Alternative zum Pro erhältlich, doch wenn Sie das Beste wollen, was Ultrahuman zu bieten hat, ist dieser hier die richtige Wahl.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leider sind die Preise für die Ringe von Ultrahuman – ähnlich wie bei dem ebenfalls abonnementfreien Konkurrenten RingConn – leicht gestiegen, was bedeutet, dass sich der Pro wirklich hervorheben muss, um die höheren Kosten zu rechtfertigen und zu einer der ersten Wahl unter den Smart-Ringen zu werden.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Design &amp; Verarbeitung</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Erhältlich in vier Farbvarianten</li>



<li>Dickeres Design als der Ring Air</li>



<li>Ladeetui im Lieferumfang enthalten</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Ring Pro ist ein Smart-Ring mit einem schlichten Design, der in vier verschiedenen Farben erhältlich ist: Bionic Gold, Space Silver, Aster Black und Raw Titanium. Der Kern des Rings besteht aus Titan mit einer PVD-Beschichtung, die ihn vor Kratzern schützt. Ich habe festgestellt, dass frühere Ultrahuman-Ringe zu den am leichtesten zu zerkratzenden gehörten. Daher freue ich mich, dass der Pro Kratzer besser abwehrt.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-23-um-16.11.15.png?w=1024" alt="Ultrahuman Ring Pro" class="wp-image-4200752" width="1024" height="554" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Mike Sawh</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Genau wie der Air ist auch der Pro in den Ringgrößen 5–14 erhältlich und bis zu einer Tiefe von 100 Metern wasserdicht. Ich habe mich für dieselbe Größe wie beim Air entschieden, und die Passform scheint ähnlich zu sein, wenn nicht sogar insgesamt etwas besser, da der Ring seltener an meinem Finger herumrutscht. Er ist sehr bequem und sitzt gut am Finger. Man spürt zwar die Sensoren, doch sie sind nicht so deutlich spürbar wie bei früheren Modellen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Im Vergleich zum Ring Air von Ultrahuman erhalten Sie einen schwereren und dickeren Ring. Da ich den <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3179739/oura-ring-5-test-review.html" target="_blank">Oura Ring 5</a> gleichzeitig getragen habe, wirkt der Pro deutlich größer als der neueste Ring von Oura.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Pro wird mit einem Ladecase geliefert, und obwohl man es nicht mit dem neuen Case von Oura verwechseln würde, verfügt es über ein ähnlich robustes Metall-Design, das den Ring schützt, wenn er nicht am Finger getragen wird. Das Etui verfügt über zusätzliche intelligente Funktionen wie kabelloses Laden, einen „Find-my-Case“-Modus für den Fall, dass Sie es verlegen, ganz zu schweigen von der Möglichkeit, Ringdaten bis zu einem Jahr lang zu speichern.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ein interessanter Aspekt des Designs ist, dass Ultrahuman den Ring so konzipiert hat, dass er im Falle einer Schwellung leicht durchtrennt und entfernt werden kann. Auch wenn ich hoffe, dass niemand jemals in eine solche Situation gerät, ist es beruhigend zu wissen, dass sich der Ring in einem Notfall problemlos entfernen lässt.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fitness &amp; Tracking</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Überarbeitete Temperatur- und Herzfrequenzsensoren</li>



<li>Neuer Dual-Core-Prozessor</li>



<li>Powerplugs bieten zusätzliche Funktionen gegen Aufpreis</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Ring Pro kann so gut wie alles überwachen, was auch der Air kann. Dazu gehören Herzfrequenz, Schlaf, Stress, Temperatur und die tägliche Schrittzahl. Die größte Änderung besteht darin, dass die optischen Sensoren, die zur Erfassung dieser Messwerte verwendet werden, überarbeitet wurden und nun klarere Signale liefern, um Schlaf- und Erholungsdaten zu erfassen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Diese Neugestaltung scheint zudem mit den Patentstreitigkeiten mit Oura in Zusammenhang zu stehen.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-23-um-16.11.19.png?w=1024" alt="Ultrahuman Ring Pro" class="wp-image-4200753" width="1024" height="554" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Mike Sawh</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die App, die diese Daten anzeigt, gehört zu den ausgereiftesten, die Sie bei einem Smart-Ring finden können. Sie steht der Oura-App in nichts nach, was die ansprechende Aufbereitung Ihrer Daten angeht, und regt Sie dazu an, sich tatsächlich damit auseinanderzusetzen.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-23-um-16.11.33.png?w=1024" alt="Ultrahuman Ring Pro" class="wp-image-4200754" width="1024" height="571" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Mike Sawh</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Was die Erfassung der Kerndaten angeht, müssen Sie die zweiwöchige Kalibrierungsphase unbedingt durchlaufen, bis Sie zuverlässige Ergebnisse erhalten. Die Daten zu den durchschnittlichen Herzfrequenzwerten wiesen während dieses Zeitraums erhebliche Abweichungen auf, stabilisierten sich jedoch nach diesen zwei Wochen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Daten zur Ruheherzfrequenz und die Messungen der Herzfrequenzvariabilität stimmten besonders gut mit zwei anderen Trackern überein, die ich parallel zum Pro trug.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bei der Betrachtung der Schrittzahlen stellte ich fest, dass die gemeldeten Gesamtwerte deutlich niedriger waren als bei zwei anderen Trackern, mit denen ich den Pro verglichen habe.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Leistung bei der Schlafaufzeichnung gehört zu den besten, die ich getestet habe, einschließlich Oura. Was die Schlafdauer, die Aufschlüsselung der Schlafphasen und den erfassten Zeitpunkt des Einschlafens betrifft, lieferte der Pro zuverlässige Werte.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-23-um-16.11.42.png?w=1024" alt="Ultrahuman Ring Pro" class="wp-image-4200755" width="1024" height="543" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Mike Sawh</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ultrahuman hebt sich von der Konkurrenz dadurch ab, dass es komplexe Daten in einem leicht verständlichen Format darstellt, beispielsweise bei der Bewertung des Gehirnalters oder der Erfassung des Schlafdefizits, das sich aus kumulierten schlechten Nächten ergibt. Es überwacht zudem, wie gut Ihr Gehirn während des Schlafs Abfallstoffe abbaut. Sie können auch die „PowerPlugs“ von Ultrahuman erkunden, bei denen es sich größtenteils um kostenlose Add-ons handelt, die eine individuellere Nachverfolgung ermöglichen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ich nutze derzeit das neue Parent-Modul, das besonders auf die kumulative Erholung achtet, berücksichtigt, dass der Schlaf wahrscheinlich unruhiger ist, und Ihnen Tipps gibt, wie Sie wieder in die richtige Bahn kommen können.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Bildschirmfoto-2026-07-23-um-16.11.49.png?w=1024" alt="Ultrahuman Ring Pro" class="wp-image-4200756" width="1024" height="577" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Mike Sawh</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wie bereits erwähnt, sind die meisten dieser PowerPlugs kostenlos. Es gibt jedoch auch solche, die Einblicke in spezielle Krankheiten wie Migräne bieten oder Daten mit einem Tesla synchronisieren; hierfür ist ein monatliches Abonnement erforderlich. Dabei handelt es sich um kostenpflichtige Funktionen, auf die die meisten Nutzer gut verzichten können.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Akkulaufzeit &amp; Aufladen</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Bis zu 15 Tage Akkulaufzeit</li>



<li>Bietet drei Akkubetriebsmodi</li>



<li>Ladeetui sorgt für weitere 45 Tage</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Akkulaufzeit ist ein wichtiges Thema beim Pro-Modell – und das nicht nur, weil er länger durchhält als der Air. Neben der Verlängerung der Akkulaufzeit von 4–6 Tagen auf 15 Tage stehen Ihnen drei Akkubetriebsmodi zur Verfügung, mit denen Sie das Beste aus jeder Ladung herausholen können.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn Sie den Turbo-Modus wählen, bei dem alle Sensoren aktiviert sind, können Sie mit einer Laufzeit von bis zu 12 Tagen rechnen. Diese verlängert sich auf über 15 Tage, wenn Sie sich für den Chill-Akkumodus entscheiden. Dabei liegt der Schwerpunkt auf der Schlafaufzeichnung, doch wichtige Momente Ihres Tages werden weiterhin erfasst, um sicherzustellen, dass die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse weiterhin von Nutzen sind.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ich habe mit dem Pro problemlos eine Akkulaufzeit von fast zwei Wochen erreicht, was eine beeindruckende Leistung ist. Das ist besser als beim Oura Ring 5 und liegt in Bezug auf die Akkuleistung auf Augenhöhe mit dem <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3063223/ringconn-gen-2-test.html" target="_blank">RingConn Gen 2</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zudem verfügen Sie nun über das Ladecase, das Ihnen eine zusätzliche Akkulaufzeit von 45 Tagen bietet. Sie müssen den Ring jedoch präzise im Ladegerät platzieren; ein akustisches Signal aus dem integrierten Lautsprecher bestätigt, dass der Ring wieder aufgeladen wird. Als der Akku auf 0 Prozent sank, benötigte der Pro weniger als eine Stunde, um wieder auf 100 Prozent zu kommen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Preis &amp; Verfügbarkeit</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zum Zeitpunkt der Erstellung dieses Artikels kann der Ultrahuman Ring Pro für 499 Euro im <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3181848/ultrahuman-ring-pro-test-review.html#" target="_blank">Ultrahuman Store</a> vorbestellt werden. Damit gehört er zu den teuersten Smart-Ringen auf dem Markt.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Er ist teurer als das günstigste verfügbare Modell des Oura Ring 5 und andere Smart-Ringe wie der <a href="https://whttps//www.pcwelt.de/article/3062918/samsung-galaxy-ring-test.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Samsung Galaxy Ring</a>. Der in Kürze erscheinende RingConn Gen 3 wird in den USA teurer sein als der Ring Pro, sollte in anderen Regionen jedoch günstiger sein.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wie der Ring Air bleibt auch der Pro ein Smart-Ring ohne Abonnement. Einige der PowerPlug-Software-Erweiterungen sind jedoch mit zusätzlichen Kosten verbunden.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sollten Sie den Ultrahuman Ring Pro kaufen?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die großen Verbesserungen des Ring Pro gegenüber dem Air liegen in dem größeren Akku und dem robusteren Design. Ich habe die Überwachungsleistung des Air nie als unzureichend empfunden, und wenn Sie noch ein Exemplar ergattern können und ein Fan des Software-Ansatzes von Ultrahuman sind, dann ist er nach wie vor eine kluge (und günstigere) Anschaffung.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vergleicht man den Ring Pro mit anderen Smart-Ringen, müssen wir über den Preis sprechen. Er ist teuer, und es gibt abonnementsfreie Alternativen zu einem günstigeren Preis. Ob diese Ihnen auf der Softwareseite das gleiche Maß an Sorgfalt und Aufmerksamkeit bieten, ist fraglich. Genau hier setzt sich der Ring Pro gegenüber einem Großteil der Konkurrenz durch.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Er ist vielleicht nicht der kleinste oder dünnste Ring, aber was der Ring Pro zu bieten hat, ist eine Kombination aus Hardware und Software, die ein hervorragendes Gesamtpaket ergibt.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technische Daten</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Bis zu 15 Tage Akkulaufzeit</li>



<li>Kompatibel mit Android und iOS</li>



<li>Wasserdicht bis zu 100 Metern</li>



<li>2,65 mm dick</li>



<li>Gewicht: 3,3–4,8 g</li>



<li>Erfasst den Blutsauerstoffgehalt, die Herzfrequenz und die Körpertemperatur</li>



<li>Erfasst den Schlaf und die tägliche Aktivität</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Every CIO I speak with today is wrestling with some version of the same question: How do we move faster with AI and deliver on our commitments?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It’s an understandable concern. <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4171959/ceos-top-priorities-for-it-leaders-today-2.html">Boards and CEOs are asking about AI</a>. Business leaders are experimenting with use cases. Employees are discovering tools daily, while technology vendors promise unprecedented gains in productivity, innovation, and competitive advantage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After hundreds of conversations with technology executives over the past year, I’ve become convinced that speed isn’t the real issue. The organizations pulling away from the pack aren’t necessarily adopting AI faster than everyone else. They’re executing more effectively — a subtle distinction that represents one of the defining leadership challenges of the AI era.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Technology has never been the hardest part of transformation. People, priorities, culture, and operating models are the biggest challenges. The ability to translate bold boardroom aspirations into thousands of thoughtful decisions made every day by architects, engineers, product managers, analysts, and business leaders is where competitive advantage is created. AI may be accelerating the pace of change, but it hasn’t changed that fundamental truth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve met plenty of executives who are exceptional in the boardroom. They know how to frame a vision, <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/272180/relationship-building-networking-how-to-wow-your-board-of-directors.html">influence a board</a>, and build confidence among investors and business leaders. I’ve also met remarkable technologists who instinctively understand the architectural decisions, engineering tradeoffs, and implementation details that determine how great ideas become reality. Modern CIOs, however, must move comfortably between both worlds. Afshean Talasaz is one who stands out among this rare breed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Long before becoming CIO of Colonial Pipeline, Talasaz built his career from the ground up as a business professional, data scientist, and technologist. He has designed enterprise platforms, built AI capabilities, led technology organizations, and partnered closely with executive leadership teams on business transformation. Today, as an executive in residence with our Practitioners for Practitioners (P4P) community, he helps CIOs and business leaders navigate one of the most significant technology shifts of our generation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While Talasaz brings deep knowledge of data and AI to the table, his greatest strength is his ability to create strategy and connect it with execution. He can spend the morning discussing enterprise reinvention with the board and the afternoon debating architectural principles with the teams responsible for bringing that vision to life.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That versatility gives Talasaz a unique lens on how CIOs <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4178006/state-of-the-cio-2026-cios-set-the-course-for-ai-roi.html">can deliver value with AI</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Software companies have a term for engineers who understand every layer of the technology stack: full-stack developers. Listen to Talasaz and it becomes evident that the AI era requires something similar from technology leaders: a full-stack CIO.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The full-stack CIO: Leading with clarity</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A full-stack CIO understands how every layer of the enterprise influences the next. They recognize that every strategic priority becomes a portfolio investment, every investment shapes an operating model, every operating model influences architecture, every architecture choice informs product decisions, every product decision shapes engineering priorities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best CIOs understand both ends of that journey. The extraordinary ones understand everything in between.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And those who execute best lead with clarity, Talasaz says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Everyone, from executives to middle managers to the people writing code, should be able to explain what we’re trying to achieve,” he emphasizes. “Clarity isn’t that we’ve handed out the PowerPoint. It’s that people genuinely understand where we’re going and can articulate it in their own language.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the unintended consequences of the AI boom is that organizations are beginning to confuse activity with alignment. They have AI councils, AI governance committees, AI innovation labs, AI centers of excellence, AI pilots, and AI roadmaps. Yet if you stop ten people in the hallway and ask a deceptively simple question, What business problem are we actually trying to solve? you’ll often hear ten different answers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a result, architects optimize for one objective while product teams optimize for another. Business units pursue opportunities that seem perfectly reasonable from their perspective. Engineers make thoughtful technical decisions based on the information available to them. Individually, none of those decisions are necessarily wrong. Collectively, however, they create organizational drift. AI doesn’t create that problem. It simply accelerates the consequences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And while AI can be a force multiplier for the positive when every decision is guided by a shared understanding of where the organization is headed, it can also be a force multiplier for the negative, resulting in an organization simply moving faster in different directions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“When we have the fundamentals right, the tech infrastructure, the operating models, the nuances of how our business actually runs, we get the impacts of AI in a positive way,” Talasaz says. “When we don’t have those in place, AI can amplify the gaps or mute the benefits.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At a time when so much of the conversation surrounding AI is focused on algorithms, agents, and automation, it’s an important reminder that organizations don’t execute strategy; people do.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reducing organizational friction</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most executives are familiar with the concept of VUCA that characterizes today’s business environment. But Talasaz stresses the importance of turning this concern inward: “If the world outside our organizations is becoming more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, what are we, as leaders, doing to the inside of our organizations?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leaders spend enormous amounts of time helping their organizations respond to external disruption but comparatively little time asking whether they are inadvertently re-creating those same conditions internally in response to those external needs. Are we reducing uncertainty or introducing more of it? Are we simplifying work or adding unnecessary complexity? Are we helping people focus on what matters most, or asking them to navigate competing priorities and shifting expectations?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Talasaz refers to this phenomenon as double VUCA — something I’ve witnessed repeatedly while working with CIOs over the past decade. Organizations often assume they’re struggling because of technology limitations when the real constraint is organizational friction. Teams wait for decisions. Priorities shift faster than roadmaps. Governance grows heavier. New committees are formed to solve problems created by existing committees. Everyone is working harder, yet the organization somehow feels slower.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI amplifies both outcomes. Organizations with clarity become dramatically more effective because AI accelerates good decisions. Organizations without clarity simply accelerate confusion.</p>



<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Operating model as strategy enabler</h1>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI governance is one way to achieve greater clarity, but as Talasaz says, governance shouldn’t primarily exist inside policy manuals that few people read.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead, AI governance should be embedded in the daily rhythms of the organization, shaping how teams collaborate, how decisions are made, how products move from ideas into production, and how innovation happens safely without requiring constant escalation. In other words, it’s all about your operating model.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“If you had to pick one thing that isn’t technology, your operating model is the most important element for executing data and AI at scale,” he says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The best operating models create enough clarity that capable people can make thousands of decisions independently and confidently, without having to wait for permission. By embedding good governance into the way it works, the organization becomes faster.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This advice echoes something I’ve heard repeatedly from some of the world’s most respected CIOs: High-performing organizations aren’t built on tighter control; they’re built on greater trust, supported by clear principles, shared expectations, and operating models that enable responsible decision-making at every level of the enterprise.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Talasaz points out that technology leaders tend to speak in terms of <em>transformation</em>. He suggests CIOs consider a different word: <em>reinvention.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As he explains, transformation implies replacing what exists today with something new. Reinvention starts with a more clear-eyed and practical premise: Some things absolutely must change; others represent years, sometimes decades, of accumulated expertise, customer trust, operational discipline, and competitive advantage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reinvention is about building on those strengths while also creating new ways to deliver value. The leaders making the greatest progress in their AI journeys seem to recognize that it’s less about abandoning the past than thoughtfully preparing the organization for the future.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Closing the gap between strategy and execution</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Full-stack CIOs must be able to map out the various layers of execution and planning that need to be done at every level of the organization to be successful. To help with this, Talasaz has developed a data and AI framework that draws on his own experiences “from the keyboard to the boardroom.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As Talasaz sees it, too many organizations have been doing good work in isolation. “They’re doing a lot of the right things,” he says. “They’re just not connected.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Boards may be discussing growth while business leaders redesign customer experiences. Product teams may be prioritizing new capabilities while architects modernize platforms. Data teams may be improving quality while engineers focus on delivery. Every group makes meaningful progress within its own domain, yet somewhere between strategy and execution, the connective tissue begins to disappear. Talasaz’s framework brings those connecting points to the forefront.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Crucially, the framework doesn’t begin with technology or AI or even with data. It begins with the experiences the organization hopes to create for its customers, employees, or partners. Many AI initiatives start with the question, “What can this technology do?” And indeed, we need to be inspired by the possibilities and challenged to think differently by what the technology can do. But, Talasaz emphasizes, we also need to ask what experiences we need to deliver for our business and how the technology can make that a reality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The framework challenges CIOs to answer that question first. Only after the experiences are clearly defined does the conversation move to the capabilities required to deliver it, the business activities that support those capabilities, the AI and data products that enable them, and finally the data foundation that makes everything possible.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This shift in perspective ensures that, rather than allowing technology investments to search for business value, the business experience defines the technology required to deliver it. For CIOs, that’s more than a planning exercise. It’s a fundamentally different way of leading.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Over the coming months, the P4P community will be convening a series of small CxO roundtables to explore these issues and work more deeply with Afshean Talasaz’s 6×6 Data and AI Framework. CIOs and other enterprise leaders interested in participating are welcome to <a href="mailto:droberts@ouellette-online.com?subject=P4P:%206x6%20Framework%20Roundtable">reach out to me directly</a>.</em></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google CEO Sundar Pichai has sought to allay concerns over the delayed release of the Gemini 3.5 Pro large language model. He dodged questions about it in Google’s quarterly earnings call on Wednesday by focusing on the company’s next frontier AI model, Gemini 4, and plans to release subsequent LLMs at an almost monthly cadence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His comments came a day after <a href="https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/gemini-3-6-flash-3-5-flash-lite-3-5-flash-cyber/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google unveiled Gemini 3.6 Flash</a> and 3.5 Flash Cyber but offered no update on the release of Gemini 3.5 Pro, the company’s delayed flagship reasoning model that many developers had expected to arrive weeks earlier.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google introduced the Gemini 3.5 family at its annual I/O conference, promising to release the Pro model in June. That timeline has since slipped, with <a href="http://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-16/google-gemini-launch-delayed-as-tech-falls-short-of-internal-goals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg suggesting Gemini 3.5 Pro is months late</a> because the model’s coding performance is falling short of internal expectations, especially when compared to better performance by similar models from OpenAI and Anthropic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of revisiting the Gemini 3.5 Pro timeline, Pichai used the earnings call to shift the discussion toward Gemini 4, when asked about how his company planned to navigate an increasingly competitive race to release frontier AI models by to Barclays Investment Bank analyst Ross Sandler.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We are creating a baseline on top of which you will see us rapidly iterate on subsequent model releases. And so picking up pace and releasing models almost at a monthly cadence is part of our road map as we are building Gemini 4 as well,” Pichai said during the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzExSq9DU9w" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">call</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sandler’s question followed one from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co analyst <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-anmuth-9229621/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Douglas Anmuth</a>, who asked Pichai if Google was releasing frontier AI models frequently enough to keep pace with rivals OpenAI and Anthropic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pichai had responded to Anmuth’s question that Google remained confident of competing at the frontier and was investing heavily in a larger Gemini 4 base model.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Analysts, though, aren’t as confident as Pichai.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While delays to Google’s frontier model roadmap have not triggered an exodus of existing customers, either because of high switching costs or because many enterprises already running multi-model architectures, they have made CIOs evaluating AI platforms more cautious about making new commitments, said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhupendrachopra" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bhupendra Chopra</a>, chief revenue officer at IT consulting firm Kanerika.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A monthly model release cadence could prove to be a double-edged sword for enterprises and their CIOs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While a monthly release cadence could help enterprises gain faster access to improvements in model performance, cost and capabilities, it will also require CIOs to invest more heavily in testing, governance and version management to safely adopt those updates, said <a href="https://greyhoundresearch.com/svg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanchit Vir Gogia</a>, chief analyst at Greyhound Research.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Similarly, <a href="https://pareekh.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pareekh Jain</a>, principal analyst at Pareekh Consulting, said enterprises will embrace a faster release cadence only if each successive model delivers measurable improvements in performance, cost or safety, rather than simply changing version number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The challenge for CIOs, Jain said, is not just keeping up with model releases; it’s deciding whether each new version is worth the cost of validating it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>This article first appeared on <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4200818/google-ceo-distracts-from-gemini-3-5-pro-delay-with-talk-of-gemini-4-and-monthly-releases.html">InfoWorld</a>.</em></p>

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI has launched Presence, an enterprise service for deploying voice and chat agents that can resolve customer and employee requests, potentially automating some work now handled by frontline support teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The agents can answer questions and operate IT systems, and enterprises can decide what actions the agents may take and when they should seek human approval for actions or transfer a case to a human.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI is already using Presence internally for its English-language phone support channel, where it verifies callers and uses account information to complete approved actions. The company said the system resolves 75% of inbound issues without human assistance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another OpenAI service, Codex, can be used to monitor agents and suggest updates or improvements to processes. In OpenAI’s own tests, suggestions from Codex helped reduce handoffs to humans by 15 percentage points over 10 days, it said. Presence also includes simulation and evaluation tools that allow companies to test an agent before deployment. The tests assess whether it reaches the correct outcome, follows company policy, and hands a case to an employee when required.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI intends each Presence deployment to deal with one kind of task, for example billing issues, insurance claims, or employee IT service requests, with agents getting only the knowledge and system access required for that task.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Presence is not a self-service product: Enterprises will have to sign up for the limited availability program, with integration performed by OpenAI or selected <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4136024/openai-partners-with-consulting-giants-to-deploy-enterprise-ai-agents.html">global systems integrators</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies exploring or testing Presence include Spanish bank BBVA, which is evaluating the service for everyday banking support in Mexico, and Japanese technology group SoftBank, which is using it in trials involving Japanese-language customer interactions. Australian insurer IAG is assessing whether the technology can help it respond to surges in customer demand during severe weather events.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Workforce impact</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI’s announcement did not address the potential effect of Presence on employment. But its claimed automation rate raises questions about how the technology could affect staffing in customer service and other support functions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://pareekh.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pareekh Jain</a>, CEO of Pareekh Consulting, said CIOs should regard the 75% figure as evidence that the technology can work, rather than as a benchmark that every enterprise can expect to reach.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain said OpenAI’s deployment benefits from being built around the company’s own products and data. Large enterprises may achieve lower automation rates because they must contend with fragmented legacy systems, uneven knowledge bases and more complex compliance demands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Most organizations should expect lower initial automation levels that improve over time as the AI agent is refined,” Jain said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first workforce effect is more likely to be <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4015750/cios-see-ai-prompting-new-it-hiring-even-as-boards-push-for-job-cuts.html">slower hiring than immediate layoffs</a>, according to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tulikasheel/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tulika Sheel</a>, senior vice president at Kadence International.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The roles most exposed are likely to be repetitive, high-volume functions such as frontline customer support and routine back-office processing,” Sheel said. “However, I would expect the first impact to be on hiring and team growth rather than immediate large-scale job cuts. Over time, enterprises may redesign roles around AI-assisted workflows, with humans focusing more on complex cases, escalation, and relationship management.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain said Tier-1 support agents handling predictable queries would face the most exposure. Broader reductions would become more likely only after companies reorganize their operations around the technology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, <a href="https://omdia.tech.informa.com/authors/lian-jye-su" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lian Jye Su</a>, chief analyst at Omdia, said Presence is unlikely to increase the threat of job displacement because companies have used similar customer-support automation from vendors such as Genesys, NiCE, Five9 and AWS for years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enterprises are more likely to use Presence alongside employees, with AI handling routine requests while people remain responsible for work requiring judgment and empathy, Su said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cost and operational risks</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Analysts said CIOs should examine whether Presence can maintain resolution quality as usage grows, since fewer human handoffs could leave employees dealing with a more difficult mix of cases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The key question is not simply how many tasks AI can handle, but whether it can handle them reliably at scale,” Sheel said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The financial case will depend partly on the cost of connecting Presence to existing systems and maintaining the controls needed to govern its use, according to Jain. “Often the biggest cost of enterprise AI is not tokens but <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4128310/openai-responds-to-claude-cowork-with-its-own-platform-to-help-build-deploy-and-manage-ai-agents.html">integration and governance</a>,” Jain added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies will need to determine what systems and data the agents can access, monitor their performance, and audit the actions they take. Those investments could offset early savings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Su said the complexity of enterprise IT will make it difficult for OpenAI to automate entire workflows on its own. Enterprises will still need to work with other technology providers and human employees, while CIOs will favor systems that can be audited and integrated with existing infrastructure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain said the economics could improve if companies use the same integrations and governance controls across additional workflows.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/cloudflare-net-q1-earnings-revenues-230528107.html">Cloudflare recently beat Q1 2026 earnings</a>. Revenue up 34% year over year. EPS ahead of consensus. Full-year guidance raised. Then, in the same breath, they announced 1,100 layoffs, 20% of the company. CEO Matthew Prince’s explanation: “The way we work at Cloudflare has fundamentally changed.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/block-q1-earnings-beat-strong-144200216.html">Block did the same thing</a>. Beat guidance, raised outlook, cut 4,000+ jobs. Both framed it as architecting for the AI era.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not a contradiction. This is the new math boards are running. And if you’re a CIO who hasn’t started running it yourself, <a href="mailto:https://www.cio.com/article/4077996/cios-be-ready-for-agentic-ai-or-be-out-of-a-job.html">you’re behind</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The benchmark has moved</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI-native companies have quietly reset what “efficient” means for a technology organization. Midjourney generates over $500M in revenue with roughly 160 employees, over $3M per head. Anthropic hit a $14B annualized run rate in early 2026 with fewer than 3,000 employees. Across the top AI-native startups, <a href="mailto:https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulbaier/2026/03/31/ai-native-firms-lead-in-revenue-per-employee/">the average revenue per employee is $3.48M</a>, nearly twelve times the traditional SaaS benchmark of $300K.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="mailto:https://www.saastr.com/what-to-do-if-your-business-decelerates/">Boards aren’t comparing you to your 2019 self anymore</a>. They’re comparing you to Anthropic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the pressure Cloudflare and Block are responding to. They’re not cutting people because the business is struggling. They’re cutting because investors have internalized a new denominator. Headcount is no longer a proxy for capacity; it’s a liability on the efficiency ratio.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For CIOs, this creates a hiring problem that looks nothing like the cloud or mobile talent gaps of the past decade. Those gaps were about volume: hire 100 cloud engineers, absorb the cost, build the capability… This one is about density; you’re not looking for 100 people. You’re looking for 10 who can deliver what 100 couldn’t, and justify $1M or more in value per seat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finding bodies to fill seats has never been easier. Finding people who operate at that level of leverage is a different problem entirely.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Acqui-hires’ are a shortcut with a hidden cost</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies have figured out that recruiting AI-native talent one by one is too slow and that it’s faster to buy a team. Google’s acquisition of the Windsurf founders, Meta bringing in the Scale AI team, Accenture’s string of AI-focused acquisitions: <a href="mailto:https://tomtunguz.com/ai-acqui-hire-wave/">these are acqui-hires</a> dressed up as M&amp;A. The premium on experienced AI talent is high enough, and the urgency real enough, that organizations are skipping traditional hiring loops entirely and buying their way in.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve been on the other side of this. My company, MadKudu, was acquired by HG Insights specifically to bring AI-native capability into an established enterprise business. HG needed change agents who had already figured out how to build and ship in this new era, not just people who’d read about it. That’s the thesis behind most of these deals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s a cost that doesn’t show up in the acquisition price.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI-native teams are fast because they operate with a different set of defaults: full access to tools, minimal governance layers, the ability to experiment and ship without a six-week approval cycle. That operating model is not a perk; it’s the fundamental mechanism. It’s why a team of 10 can do what an enterprise team of 100 can’t.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you acqui-hire that team and then slot them into your existing approval processes, you’ve bought the people and killed the engine. The change agents you paid for become change-frustrated. The attrition that follows is expensive and predictable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The harder realization: acquiring an AI-native team means accepting how they work. That requires deliberately carving out space for them to operate differently, not just tolerating it but institutionalizing it. The acquisition is an organizational change program, not just a hiring event.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The CIO’s real problem</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The governance stack most enterprise organizations run was designed for a headcount world. Every tool vetting cycle, every vendor review, every security approval was calibrated assuming you were managing a large team where consistency and control were the primary objectives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That calculus breaks when your goal is talent density. The same approval processes that protect against data leaks are now the reason your best people can’t do their best work. When it takes six weeks to approve a tool that your competitor’s team is already shipping with, you’ve traded velocity for the perception of safety.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The practical fix is structured experimentation: clear guardrails, defined boundaries, but explicit permission to try tools before deciding whether to roll them out broadly. Gating everything prevents you from ever discovering what 10x productivity looks like.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The skills inventory question is also more nuanced than it sounds. Job titles won’t tell you where the leverage is. You need to map the actual tasks within each function and assess which can be automated or augmented with AI. That’s where you find the people who, with the right tools, become your $1M/employee talent, not because you hired differently, but because you enabled better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is also where the build-versus-buy question gets genuinely tricky. As AI reshapes how products are built and delivered, your internal operating model — how you work, how fast you ship, how you use data — is becoming core IP. Outsourcing delivery means outsourcing the part of the organization where your competitive advantage is now being built.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Closing the gap without slowing down</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="mailto:https://www.saastr.com/the-great-ai-talent-grab-the-latest-20vc-with-jason-harry-and-rory/">The AI talent wars</a> are not primarily a recruiting problem. They’re a rethinking of what organizations are supposed to look like.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Boards have a new benchmark. Cloudflare, Block, Amazon, Meta and others have already started restructuring to meet it, publicly, painfully, even while beating their numbers. The question for CIOs isn’t whether this pressure arrives; it’s whether you’re ahead of it or behind it when it does.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The organizations that navigate this well won’t win by outbidding competitors for a handful of elite engineers. They’ll win by designing operating systems that amplify the leverage of the talent they do have, by enabling their best people rather than constraining them, and by treating AI fluency as a core organizational capability rather than a niche specialization.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Talent density is the new headcount model. The sooner your governance, your tooling and your board conversations reflect that, the better positioned you’ll be when the next efficiency report lands.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have worked alongside enterprise technology for more than 30 years and watched AI evolve from a lab experiment into the modern boardroom’s core focus. However, the last few years of implementing AI alongside our customers have delivered our most profound reality checks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The initial hype has faded, leaving CIOs to drive real enterprise value. Based on my experience implementing Google, OpenAI and Anthropic technologies, here are the fundamental, technology-agnostic lessons every leader must anchor their strategy around.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>AI as a leadership multiplier</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most common tactical error we see is treating AI as an isolated technology project. What I have observed among our customers is that true success does not come from organizations that define a standalone “AI strategy,” but rather from those leaders that integrate AI into their business strategy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When our customers isolate AI and define an AI strategy, it inevitably treats it like a “technological toy” to experiment with. This approach yields fragmented, orphaned initiatives that fail to scale because they are fundamentally disconnected from their core corporate objectives. What I learned is that AI is not the ultimate destination; it is a powerful catalyst. We have replaced “What can AI do for our customers?” with a more strategic question, “How does AI accelerate their existing business goals?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Think of AI like electricity. No modern corporation designs a standalone “electricity strategy.” Instead, all companies route it invisibly across the entire organization to illuminate offices, power production lines and drive communication. AI must be woven into the enterprise fabric in the exact same way, acting as an underlying utility that supercharges your existing operational model.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Integrating AI into the broader business strategy also dictates how we measure success. It forces a shift away from short-term tech vanity metrics and anchors the technology into a long-term roadmap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When AI remains trapped within the IT department of our customers, we notice that it is relegated to a mere “software experiment.” To become a true competitive advantage, we observed that AI requires intense cross-functional orchestration. This perspective does not diminish the merit of the technical team; their expertise is fundamental for establishing the architecture, data governance and tools your enterprise requires. However, while IT builds the foundational infrastructure, it lacks the organizational authority to decide what should be built on top of it. Only the CEO or the owner of the company can step in to ensure AI leaves the “toy project” phase and integrates into the DNA of the organization.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The requirement for top-down, executive ownership stems from three critical realities observed in the field:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Silo-smashing and data collaboration:</strong> True enterprise AI is data-hungry and that data lives across disparate business lines, finance, operations, marketing and customer service. Only the CEO possesses the cross-functional authority to demand that data silos be dismantled.</li>



<li><strong>Cultural transformation and fear mitigation:</strong> AI triggers widespread anxiety over job displacement across all industries and hierarchies. When relegated to an “IT project,” resistance spikes as teams view it as a threat to their livelihoods. When I saw the CEO lead this cultural shift directly is when I noticed the best results.</li>



<li><strong>C-Suite education and strategic alignment:</strong> The mandate for AI capability cannot just be delegated downward; the transformation must begin at the very top. I have conducted more than 70 presentations for the Board of Directors and C-Level teams. These people need to be actively educated not on technical code, but on specific business use cases, return on investment (ROI) frameworks and how AI resolves core organizational bottlenecks.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/c-suite-insights/ceo-survey.html">PwC’s data found that only 12% of enterprises have achieved both cost and revenue benefits from AI</a>. Those elite 12% succeeded precisely because their CEOs embedded AI extensively across <em>strategic decision-making and cross-functional workflows</em>. AI is simply too disruptive and too critical to be left exclusively in the hands of technical experts. If AI is not on the CEO’s weekly agenda, it is fundamentally missing from the company’s true strategy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>AI as a new operational framework</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traditional IT systems have operated on strict algorithmic certainty: if you input a specific set of data, the system executes an immutable line of code and guarantees the same, predictable output every single time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI completely breaks this paradigm. Because modern AI is built on probabilistic models, it does not execute static formulas; instead, it predicts the most likely correct response based on mathematical probabilities. This means that AI solutions carry an inherent, small percentage of uncertainty and variability. A prompt entered today might yield a slightly different, though contextually valid, output tomorrow.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Executive leadership and organizational cultures must be actively educated to accept and navigate this fundamental shift. Traditional quality assurance frameworks for software are designed for a 100% success rate. Applying this rigid standard to AI will paralyze your initiatives, keeping 80% of your projects trapped eternally in the pilot phase. This happened to us in a food and beverage company in Latin America a couple of years ago. After this experience, we started to include conditions in our contracts that tolerate statistical margins of error and still define the project as a success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In terms of cost calculation, we had to teach CIOs and business managers to forget the monthly subscription model for AI and learn to manage the primary unit of exchange in modern AI: the token.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To understand AI costs, executives must understand how large language models process data. AI models do not read full words; instead, they break text, images or code down into “pieces” called tokens. As a baseline, every 100 words process as approximately 130 to 140 tokens. Because the major AI providers use the token as their currency, <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2604.22750">your business is billed dynamically based on the exact volume of tokens consumed</a> by every query submitted (input) and every response generated (output).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many leaders believe AI costs are fixed due to flat-rate enterprise tiers ($25–$30/user). This is a temporary illusion. These venture-capital-subsidized rates mask true operational costs and come with dynamic usage limits. Modeling long-term ROI on them guarantees a severe budget shock when true consumption pricing takes over.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The solution is not to halt AI adoption; doing so means losing your competitive edge. Instead, the cost per token must cease to be treated as a technical footnote relegated to the IT department. It must be elevated to a core business variable.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Risks in the AI adoption model</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the beginning of the AI boom, I have seen all our customers making a critical tactical error that could cost them heavily in the medium term: they are focusing only on operational efficiency (reducing costs with AI).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have observed that an alarmingly high percentage of companies remain trapped in pilot phases focused exclusively on short-term cost reduction. <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/your-ai-budget-is-growing-your-returns-arent-heres-why/">Bain &amp; Company’s global Automation and AI Pathfinder Survey </a>found that the largest share of companies measuring their AI initiatives (exactly 40%) realized cost reductions of 10% or less, heavily missing their internal targets. Our customers are putting too many resources and effort into marginal financial gains and in doing so, they are jeopardizing their most valuable assets: service quality, resilience and customer trust.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Utilizing AI solely to slash headcount or cut operational corners is a dangerous trap that introduces severe field liabilities. A financial service organization in Latin America announced that they saved $1 million in customer support by replacing humans with AI chatbots. However, the mid-term reality revealed a different story: a damaged brand reputation due to AI errors and an influx of frustrated clients fleeing because the automated system cannot handle special cases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Putting a company on an extreme AI diet might make it look leaner on next quarter’s financial statement, but over-indexing on cost-cutting will ultimately leave the business too weak to compete when market dynamics shift. We are now inviting our customers to change the question from <em>“How much money will AI save us?”</em> to <em>“How will we leverage AI to exponentially increase the long-term value of our enterprise?”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deploying enterprise AI is a marathon, not a sprint, and the terrain changes with every mile. The organizations that thrive in this next era will be those that transition from fascination to discipline, treating AI not as a magic bullet for immediate savings, but as a core capability that demands rigorous governance, architectural foresight and cultural maturity. Navigating this shift requires moving past the theoretical hype and anchoring decisions in raw, field-tested reality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we continue to deploy these technologies across industries, the blueprint for success is being rewritten in real time. Let’s keep this conversation going as we map out the future of business intelligence together.</p>

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Late in a large enterprise SAP transformation, the strategic governance conversations began to drift. Instead of executive decisions, we found ourselves debating whether the program needed dedicated testing, whether cutover required a full weekend, whether twenty Agile teams really needed coordination support and whether offshore resources were adding value at all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The questions were not coming from the delivery teams. They were coming from the executive sponsor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The sponsor had recently been elevated into a senior leadership role and had never sponsored a technology transformation at this scale. The challenge was not authority. The sponsor had every right to ask any question they wanted. The challenge was that strategic governance had quietly turned into a debate about delivery practices, because the sponsor did not yet have the transformation context to focus the conversation anywhere else.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not a story about a bad sponsor. The executive in this case was a capable senior leader with strong judgment and authentic intent. They had been placed into a role they had not yet been prepared for, and the pattern that followed was structural, not personal. It is one of the more common patterns I have observed across enterprise transformation programs, and one of the most consistently misdiagnosed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most program failures are not execution failures. They are sponsor mismatches.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When governance becomes a debate about delivery practices</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the sponsor does not understand what an enterprise transformation actually requires, governance forums stop functioning as decision bodies and start functioning as practice debates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You see it in the questions that get asked. Why do we need a dedicated testing phase? Can the Build timeline be compressed? Why does cutover need a full weekend? Why do we need more Scrum Masters across 20 product teams? Can the US team simply work longer hours instead of using offshore resources? On one program, the sponsor suggested shifting the entire project’s working hours to India time, despite roughly 85 percent of the delivery organization being based in the United States.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of these questions are unreasonable in isolation. Each one targets a real cost or timeline pressure. The problem is what is missing underneath them: an understanding of the operational risks the original choices were designed to mitigate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When sponsors ask delivery-practice questions without that context, the program leadership team ends up defending the work instead of advancing it. Decision velocity drops. Trust between the program and its sponsor erodes. Senior delivery talent disengages from governance forums where the conversation never reaches the decisions they need made. What looks from the outside like an active sponsor producing engagement is, from inside the program, an active drain on the cycles needed to deliver.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The compounding cost is not unique to any single program. <a href="https://www.pmi.org/blog/why-executive-sponsorship-fuels-projects">PMI’s research on executive sponsorship</a> consistently identifies sponsor engagement quality, rather than sponsor presence alone, as one of the strongest predictors of project success. The visible symptom is debate. The actual cost is unmade decisions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Authority is rarely the issue. Literacy is</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When transformations stall under a mismatched sponsor, the diagnostic instinct is to question the sponsor’s authority. Are they senior enough? Do they have the cross-functional reach? Can they unblock?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In most of the programs I have led or advised, authority was not the limiting factor. The sponsor in the SAP program above had ample authority. They could unblock any decision the program needed. What had not been developed was the transformation literacy to know which decisions mattered, which were technical noise and which were execution risks that should not be optimized away.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is what I have come to think of as the literacy problem. Sponsors elevated into transformation roles often have deep functional expertise (finance, operations, business unit leadership) but limited exposure to the distinct functions of PMO, organizational change management, agile delivery, testing and cutover, and how each one reduces a specific category of implementation risk. They are not expected to be SAP configuration experts. But they need enough transformation literacy to recognize which questions actually belong in a steering committee.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://hbr.org/2015/05/how-to-be-an-effective-executive-sponsor">Harvard Business Review’s research on effective executive sponsorship</a> has emphasized that sponsorship effectiveness depends as much on judgment as on authority. Judgment is where literacy becomes operational. A sponsor with authority but limited transformation literacy will optimize for speed and cost in ways that consistently underestimate risk. A sponsor with both will make the tradeoffs the program actually needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.prosci.com/resources/articles/change-management-best-practices">Prosci’s longstanding benchmark studies on change management</a> have ranked active and visible executive sponsorship as the single greatest contributor to change success for two decades. The word that matters in that finding is active. Active sponsorship without transformation literacy can introduce real cost. Not because the sponsor is acting against the program, but because the optimization choices they make are based on incomplete information about what the program is built to protect against.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shift the conversation from delivery practices to business risk</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the sponsor relationship is already in place and cannot be changed, the program leadership team has one move that consistently works: shift the conversation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the SAP program above, we stopped explaining why the testing phase existed. We started explaining the business risk of reducing it. We stopped debating the number of Scrum Masters. We started connecting delivery capacity to coordination across more than twenty Agile teams and the business cost of losing that coordination. We reframed offshore support as a way to maintain delivery momentum around the clock rather than asking the U.S. team to sustain fifteen-hour days.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The shift is from defending delivery practice to explaining business risk. The sponsor does not need to understand why testing takes the time it does. They need to understand what the program is exposed to if testing is compressed. They do not need to know how many Scrum Masters are statistically optimal for twenty Agile teams. They need to know what coordination breaks when the number is wrong.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This reframing accomplishes two things. First, it brings the conversation back to the level at which sponsors actually make decisions: tradeoffs between business outcomes and business risks. Second, it builds transformation literacy in the sponsor over time, almost as a byproduct. By the third or fourth iteration of business-risk-framed conversations, the sponsor begins to ask the right questions on their own.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In practice, this happens through small but deliberate moves. When the sponsor asks why a phase needs the time it takes, the program lead names two or three things that could go wrong if the time is cut and what each would cost the business. When the sponsor asks why a role is needed, the program lead names the work that would not get done without it. Every delivery-practice question gets converted into a business-risk answer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The program leadership team’s job is not to make the sponsor an expert in SAP delivery. It is to provide enough transformation context so that executive decisions reflect both business priorities and implementation realities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are a few phrases I have used with executive sponsors over the years that capture the underlying issue. The sharpest one:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If the decision has to go above the sponsor, they are not the sponsor.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sponsorship is defined by what the sponsor can decide without asking someone else. That is the test. Anything else is the appearance of sponsorship, not the substance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For CIOs supporting enterprise transformation, the implication is direct. Sponsor selection, or sponsor preparation when selection is not an option, is not a hierarchy question. It is a transformation capability question. The same execution discipline that goes into defining decision rights, structuring governance and protecting delivery momentum should apply, with equal rigor, to assessing sponsor fit and building sponsor literacy before the program begins.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A sponsor does not need to be the technical expert. They do need to know when to trust the people who are.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Model Context Protocol (<a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4029634/what-is-model-context-protocol-how-mcp-bridges-ai-and-external-services.html">MCP</a>), the emerging standard for connecting AI models to external tools and enterprise data, is undergoing its biggest architectural overhaul yet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The latest <a href="https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/changelog" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">release candidate</a>, scheduled for release on July 28, removes protocol-level sessions in favor of a stateless architecture, a change which industry experts say is intended to make MCP easier to deploy across standard cloud infrastructure as enterprises move AI pilots into production.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The session-based model made sense when MCP servers were local processes on a developer’s laptop. In production, it became an operational tax,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/muskan-bandta2004" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Muskan Bandta</a>, cloud associate at ZopDev.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“When your infrastructure team asks whether MCP services can scale like other cloud applications, the answer used to be ‘not quite.’ With the move to a stateless architecture, the answer is now yes,” Bandta added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier versions of the protocol maintained information about every client connection, meaning servers had to keep track of each session throughout an interaction. While that approach worked well for local development, it complicated deployments across multiple servers because requests often had to be routed back to the same machine, limiting scalability and making MCP a less natural fit for modern cloud architectures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Under the new stateless design, every request contains the information needed for any available server to process it independently. Applications that need to maintain context across multiple requests can still do so, but developers must now manage that state explicitly rather than relying on the protocol itself,” she said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This transition to a stateless design goes beyond simplifying infrastructure by fundamentally changing how AI applications manage and share context across tools, according to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/znamit/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amit Jena</a>, AI development manager at IT consulting firm Kanerika.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of keeping application state hidden inside protocol sessions, the new design makes it explicit, allowing AI models to access, reason over, and pass that information between tools, giving developers greater control over how context is preserved and shared across tools, Jena said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It should also make AI workflows more portable, resilient, and easier to orchestrate across distributed environments, he said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MCP’s new features</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other changes to MCP include the addition of a Multi Round-Trip Requests (MRTR) mechanism that changes how AI agents request additional information they need to complete a task.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of relying on a persistent connection between the client and server throughout the interaction, the new mechanism lets the server request additional input through a standard request-response exchange before continuing the task, Jena said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Routable transport headers, another addition, enable API gateways and other networking infrastructure to identify and route MCP requests without inspecting their contents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They reduce processing overhead, lower latency, and let enterprise teams enforce routing, rate-limiting and security policies more efficiently using existing API management infrastructure, Jena said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MCP is also getting an updated authorization framework built around OAuth 2.1 and OpenID Connect; interactive MCP Apps; and deterministic caching of tool and resource listings to improve LLM prompt-cache hit rates, potentially saving on token costs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rebuilding the trust boundary</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The MCP release steering committee also decided to deprecate some legacy features, including Roots, Sampling, Logging, the older HTTP+SSE transport and Dynamic Client Registration, although these will continue to work in this version and any other released over the next year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The deprecation of Sampling is likely to have the biggest impact because it changes who is responsible for interacting with foundation models, said Jena.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Sampling let MCP servers invoke the <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2335213/large-language-models-the-foundations-of-generative-ai.html" target="_blank">LLM</a> through the client, which meant the server had a callback path into the model without owning that connection. Deprecating it means rebuilding that trust boundary,” Jena said. “Your server now calls the model provider directly. That changes your network architecture, your auth model, and depending on how you’ve built cost attribution, your billing flow.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The year-long transition period will be enough for teams to audit their sampling dependencies now, said Jena: “The risk is that teams who haven’t implemented sampling themselves won’t know if a third-party MCP server they’re depending on uses it.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Updated MCP SDKs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To accompany the protocol update, there are updated <a href="https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MCP SDKs</a> for <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2253770/what-is-python-powerful-intuitive-programming.html" target="_blank">Python</a>, <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2257305/what-is-typescript-strongly-typed-javascript.html" target="_blank">Typescript</a>, <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2253031/whats-the-go-language-really-good-for-3.html">Go</a>, and <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4131649/the-best-new-features-of-c-14.html">C#</a>. These support both the old and new protocol versions, so new clients can continue communicating with older servers, while updated servers will also support older clients, reducing the risk of immediate disruptions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That backward compatibility should make the transition largely incremental, except for enterprises that built custom infrastructure around MCP’s earlier session-based architecture, Bandta said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Identifying and auditing those session dependencies may not be easy, Jena warned.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Session management complexity tends to be hidden across multiple layers — the gateway config, the deployment scripts, the monitoring dashboards. The code change is small; finding everywhere the assumption lives is what takes time,” he said.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[SpaceX's Friday launch of its massive Starship rocket "went quite smoothly," reports CNN, with a SpaceX spokesperson calling this mission "Lucky Number 13" (as the 13th integrated flight test for a Starship spacecraft with a Super Heavy rocket booster):


During Starship V3's inaugural test, there were numerous engine issues as several on the booster failed to relight and the Starship spacecraft experienced a nail-biting engine outage. SpaceX also was forced to replace six engines on this vehicle ahead of today's flight because of a likely issue with moisture that prevented at least four from starting up correctly during an initial launch attempt last week... [Friday's Super Heavy rocket booster] fired all 33 of its engines in a pristine performance off the launchpad. The rocket booster also managed to relight 13 engines, as planned, to steer itself back toward a controlled landing. Only when Super Heavy attempted to relight its engines for a controlled landing burn over the Gulf waters did problems arise. The landing was still controlled, though Huot said the vehicle was traveling a bit faster than the company had hoped when it made touchdown. (SpaceX always intended to discard this Super Heavy booster in the ocean.) 

The Starship spacecraft had no obvious performance issues, making it all the way through its engine burn and managing to reignite one engine mid-flight as part of a test. It also made a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean — executing its "softest splashdown" to date in a "dream scenario," according to SpaceX's Dan Huot. The touchdown came about an hour after takeoff, as planned. During its coasting phase, Starship also deployed 20 Starlink test satellites, paving the way for operational missions later down the line in which SpaceX plans to deploy large batches of these satellites in a single launch. In another big win, SpaceX said it was able to make contact with each of those satellites. 

CNN adds that SpaceX "is facing intense pressure to get Starship ready for a crucial NASA test flight next year that could pave the way for the next moon landing. This flight was also the first for SpaceX as a publicly traded company. Last week's aborted launch attempt sparked a selloff, and shares are still trading below their IPO price. 


"To cap off the roaring success of today's flight test, SpaceX shared some stunning visuals of the upper Starship spacecraft sailing through space."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A large Danish study found a modest but consistent association between long-term road traffic noise exposure and higher Parkinson's disease risk, with a 3% increase for every 11.5 dB rise in noise at the most exposed side of a home. The Guardian reports: The researchers modeled noise exposure at the most and least exposed exterior of the residence of each participant and calculated the difference in noise levels. The magnitude of the effect was modest but consistent; at the most exposed facade, for every 11.5dB rise in noise level, the risk of Parkinson's disease rose by 3% over the study period. Having a quiet part of the home may mitigate the association between exposure to road traffic noise and higher risk of Parkinson's disease, according to the findings.
 
The study, published in Jama Neurology, included 3.1 million Danish participants aged 40 and over, and followed them for 18 years. It was established using nationwide health register data, making it the largest study on road traffic noise and Parkinson's disease. Previous research linked the rise in neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease, with exposure to environmental toxins. Environmental risk factors such as air pollution, microplastics and pesticides have become the main focus of prevention strategies. The study is one of the first to make the link to noise pollution.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p>Read the source config to apply one quantization policy across dense and routed MoE layers. Keep the tied output head and router at source precision, quantize supported attention and expert projections, selectively promote sensitive expert down projections, and emit per-tensor metadata for mixed quantization blobs.</p>
<p>Correct dense expert loading, BF16 source-layout handling, expert global-scale shapes and dtypes, routing-score scaling, and mixed-precision expert dispatch. Gate/up and down projections select quantized or dense execution independently so promoted BF16 down projections do not force quantized gate/up weights through the dense fallback.</p>
<p>Optimize the forward pass with compatible gate/up fusion, sorted standard GatherMM and GatherQMM operations for larger prefills, model-local mlx.Compile closures for elementwise MoE work, and cache-backed 512-token prefill chunks. This keeps the implementation on maintained MLX operations without custom kernels.</p>
<p>Add focused tests for Laguna configuration variants, quantization policy and metadata, dense and routed expert loading, mixed-precision dispatch, compiled-versus-eager parity, fused projections, routing, and prefill chunking.</p>

As Android developers, you have many choices when it comes to the agents, tools, command-line interfaces (CLI), and LLMs you use for app development. Whether you use Gemini in Android Studio,  Antigravity 2.0, Antigravity CLI, or third-party agents like Anthropic's Claude Code or OpenAI'sCodex, our mission remains the same: to ensure that high-quality Android development is possible everywhere.

  <p><span></span></p>
<p><span></span></p>
<div class="separator">
    <div>
        </div></div>
<p></p>

  <p>At <b>Google I/O ‘26</b>, we shared the latest leaps forward in agentic development, and showcased some of the newest capabilities of <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-cli">Android CLI</a>—now stable at version 1.0 and ready for all Android developers to use. From new skills to enabling agent access to powerful Android Studio capabilities, we’re giving your agents the right tools to build alongside you.</p>

  <div>If you’re already using Android CLI and want to jump into using all the new features, just run <span><code>android update<code></code></code></span>. Otherwise, read further to learn more about how we’re making the agents you choose be better at building for Android.</div>

  <h3>Android development unlocked for Antigravity</h3>
  <p><a href="https://antigravity.google/">Google Antigravity</a> now includes an optional bundle of Android resources—including the Android CLI and skills—that you can install. You can either install the bundle during onboarding after installation, or later from the <b>Settings &gt; Customizations &gt; Build With Google Plugins</b> menu.</p><p>This provides Antigravity with all the powerful tools and knowledge of Android CLI, enabling it to perform the core tasks necessary for Android app development more easily and efficiently—from creating projects to deploying your app on a new Android virtual device.</p><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivI2fhgZRJRpz8TXcX4OC2CALzgOfHhKyVmVG0IaMsibqaAUVbZORx-5fbVrYUKlp0Fl1qk1wZ02jbrYSfFGRCtOvnOzWWYdw8G3or9ul_QY2yvT6Wm-kEIjAJtfj75kNWlSswAqoUCLvSefnFY3JMw7NQOA8hkDn3nc232oyEK1VN5ZM_UHbAEJWolWE/s16000/agy-android-cli%20(1).png"></div><i><div><i>You can now easily install Android CLI for use with Google Antigravity 2.0.</i></div></i><h3>Unlocking Android Studio capabilities for any agent</h3><p>Android CLI provides a lightweight interface for AI Agents to perform tasks and retrieve knowledge about Android development. However, there's benefits to specialization — Android Studio contains over a decade of Android expertise, built to handle even the most complex Android projects. This includes Android Studio's powerful static analysis engine, refactoring tools, dependency management, UI design and rendering libraries, and more. AI Agents can now tap into Android Studio's tools to gain many of these same capabilities.</p><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRp6RfqiD9adFdIQS9Fm_a3p_5X6K5Fjo5rEQhOeOqFpvjlQ-04DHav5atkLF7IZvnpdMaQqG_oBAhmcvCPRtAvsW7AH0Q3VF18y-TBUITLXBglNbR2o99sC-hJgj_D-OhF51rLO_OYi1RXdm6GBfgZqfsTdQa1CY6_g10D2LwLun3S1CjfqOY2pqp02Y/s16000/agy-android-studio%20(1).png"></div><div><i>Your agents can now use Android CLI to access powerful capabilities of Android Studio.</i></div><p>The latest version of Android CLI introduces the new <code>android studio</code> command. This enables the agent of your choice to leverage the deep, contextual capabilities of Android Studio to better understand and perform actions on an open Android project. By running Android Studio alongside your preferred agent with Android CLI, your agent’s tasks can more efficiently navigate the codebase to produce more precise code changes. And, when you use Android CLI to create and iterate on your project, transitioning to Android Studio is much easier, so that you can use the purpose built tools—such as, performance profilers, Compose Previews, and Android Device Streaming—to get that production-grade polish.</p>

  <p>When you have a project open in the latest <a href="https://developer.android.com/studio/preview">preview version</a> of Android Studio Quail, you (or your agent) can run the following command to check whether Android CLI has a connection established with your open project:</p>

<pre><span><p dir="ltr"><span>$ android studio check</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>pid: </span><span>32942</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>version: </span><span>Android Studio</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>Projects:</span></p><span>    </span><span>READY</span><span>     JetSet /Users/adarshf/AndroidStudioProjects/jetset-main</span></span></pre>

  <p>From there, the agents can use the <code>android studio</code> command to access powerful IDE tools to interact with projects more efficiently. Key commands include:</p><p></p><ul><li><b>analyze-file:</b> Analyzes a file for errors and warnings using the editor's built-in inspections.</li><li><b>find-declaration:</b> Finds the exact definition site of a symbol (class, method, variable, field, constant, or Android resource/color) across the project using semantic resolution.</li><li><b>find-usages: </b>Finds all references and declarations of a symbol (class, method, variable, or Android resource) across the entire project using semantic analysis.</li><li><b>render-compose-preview: </b>Renders a Jetpack Compose UI Preview and returns a path to the image and UI hierarchy if successful.</li><li><b>version-lookup:</b> Get the latest information about which versions for specified app dependencies are available in common repositories, such as the Google Maven repository. By providing a programmatic solution, dependency management is less tedious and much less prone to flakiness.</li><li><b>open-file: </b>Opens a file directly in Android Studio. This is useful if the agent wants to direct your attention to view Compose Previews, performance traces, or other specific files in the IDE.</li></ul><p></p><ul>
  </ul>

  <p>For example, agents can now run the following commands to render a Compose preview for a new layout for your Android app, and then open the previews in Android Studio for you to take advantage of seeing multiple Compose Previews side by side and make AI-assisted edits right from the IDE.</p>

<pre><span><p dir="ltr"><span>$ android studio </span><span>find-declaration</span><span> HotelDetailScreen</span></p><p dir="ltr"><span>$ android studio </span><span>analyze-file</span><span> .../JetPacker/feature/detail/src/main/java/com/example/jetset/feature/detail/HotelDetailScreen.kt</span></p><span>$ android studio </span><span>open-file</span><span> feature/detail/src/main/java/com/example/jetset/feature/detail/HotelDetailScreen.kt</span></span></pre>

  <p>To learn more about how to use these commands, run <code>android help</code>. And, to make sure your agents understand how to work with this tool, make sure to update the Android CLI skill by running <code>android init</code>.</p>

  <h3>More ways to get started</h3>
  <p>To make integrating Android CLI into your environments as seamless as possible, we’re making it available in more ways. You can now download and install Android CLI using more package managers: apt-get, winget, and homebrew. For example, you can run the following to install Android CLI using winget:</p>

  <pre>winget install -e --id Google.AndroidCLI</pre>

  <p>We’ve also updated the installation to a user-local directory, by default. You can find the commands for all supported operating systems plus additional download options on the <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-cli/archive">Android CLI page</a>.</p>

  <h3>Support for Journeys</h3>
  <div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip7lO5BVjTIeJXDWyrGOdl4KpPTo8_oEcf0qLFUBRfPgOazlG7C9eLWDLdnNYb68-rlon4uOE4qo62WC_U7SaAOYwLG3Vbr0v_lRsh-iNoPzVMmFbAgKXXN1hz9Qj7rMImyybqHCU34ryMlml2fCquAyfNgp1yWiZu-CsP1Jowx4o0z69_wkNtYR0GQIM/s16000/android-cli-write-journey.png"></div><div><i>Journeys are natural language descriptions of core user experiences.</i></div><div><span><span><br></span></span></div>We are also introducing support for <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-cli/journeys">Journeys</a>. With Journeys tools and skills included with Android CLI, any agent of your choice can now create and run Journeys—which are natural language descriptions of user journeys for your app that are saved directly to your project.</div><div> <div class="separator"><img border="0" data-original-height="576" data-original-width="960" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeAW4kjqfV1t_mAw_iYwgWSczw3q-h3VEOAuDAe12uBel0niX6M2KAoGrs6M2UHhT3t1GvBZs-c3w0R87W6HgCAzHQZOdFjixUHyYCZRzhOgB_RtOkVh0Ph8cDFki0sWI8i5CFNXxGxBHai0uh0RZw5E9kcJUvl8DJtPT3tnkaQm5r8UHuWMstopnTnnI/s16000/android-cli-journey-run.gif"></div><p><i>(sped up) An agent running a Journey it generated for an app.</i></p>Agents can run these journeys using the Android CLI to navigate your app exactly like a user would. This unlocks entirely new ways to test, validate, or collect data across the critical experiences of your app, all driven by natural language and executed by your agent.
  
  <h3>Expanding Android skills</h3>
  <p>To help models better understand and execute specific patterns that follow our best practices, we are continuing to expand our <a href="https://github.com/android/skills">library of Android skills</a>. We’re shipping new skills that make Android development everywhere more capable, efficient, and productive:</p><p></p><ul><li><b>Display Glasses and Jetpack Compose Glimmer for XR: </b>Provides guidelines for developing projected applications for Android Display Glasses using the Jetpack Compose Glimmer UI toolkit.</li><li><b>Migration to CameraX:</b> Helps you migrate legacy Android camera implementations (Camera1 or raw Camera2 APIs) to CameraX.</li><li><b>Perfetto SQL:</b> Translates natural language data prompts into Perfetto SQL queries and executes them against a local trace file.</li><li><b>Adaptive UI:</b> Instructions to make or update an app's UI so that it adapts to different Android devices</li><li><b>Testing setup: </b>Creates a basic testing strategy.</li><li><b>Styles:</b> Helps with adoption of the new Jetpack Compose Style API for new components, and supports migration to Styles API. </li><li><b>AppFunctions: </b>Analyzes Android codebases to recommend and implement new AppFunctions, and refines KDoc documentation for Model Context Protocol optimization.</li></ul><p></p><p>You can add these new skills to your workflow directly from the command line. To help your agents understand and use Android CLI right away, you can initialize your environment and install the base android-cli skill by running:</p>
<pre>android init
</pre>
  <p>From there, you can browse and set up your agent workflow by searching for the exact capabilities your agent needs:</p>

Here’s a recap of 17 of our favorite announcements for Android developers; you can also <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/KvTRMSa1w4E?si=QBAxNvihPwJCJUuS">see what was announced last week</a> in <a href="https://developer.android.com/events/show">The Android Show: I/O Edition</a>. Stay tuned over the next two days as we dive into all of the topics in more detail!<h2><strong><span>Build High Quality Android Apps Using Agents</span></strong></h2>

  <h3><strong><span>1: Android CLI: helping you build with any agent, LLM, and tool</span></strong></h3>
  <a href="https://goo.gle/CLI_IO26">Android CLI is now stable</a>. It offers programmatic tools that allow any AI agent, including Claude Code, Codex, or Antigravity, to perform core Android tasks much more easily and efficiently. With today’s release, it also provides a bridge to tap directly into the "heavy-lifting" power of Android Studio to give you the production-ready polish needed for professional Android development. By leveraging the new android studio commands, developers can now grant their preferred agents the ability to perform semantic symbol resolution, analyze files for warnings, and even render Jetpack Compose previews. This release also enables official support for "Journeys" through new <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-skills">Android skills</a>, which enables agents to execute end-to-end UI tests under your direction. Watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqmpZocmR8o&amp;list=PLOU2XLYxmsIKL_eEgkKJWDRhYUEvS9eYz&amp;index=23">developer keynote</a>, and tune into the <a href="https://io.google/2026/explore/pa-keynote-7">What’s New in Android tools talk</a> for more information.    <p><span></span></p><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXrW3yDK9uH_I8MDyVxgYbPAXfrNTJvlMkXhaZFrM1X9ob0LvQbGe_ZC6anUeO_VNd181iptI_MIuEEpX-9GZdf6ZTJCN-WHpPzDCLOeSblo8vrjliSZ0rRrHwIsERWBjbbosP-M_WvA2pva9mF5FWVygAwQbdiW3SLZgJj9TpRIruG4H-ILsvSq_b4dc/w640-h442/agy-android-cli%20(2).png"></div><div class="separator"><span><i>You can now easily install Android CLI for use with Google Antigravity 2.0.</i></span></div><p></p>

  <h3><strong><span>2: Build production-ready apps with ease in Google AI Studio</span></strong></h3>
  Developers and creators can now <a href="http://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/05/build-android-apps-google-ai-studio.html">build native Android apps, simply with a prompt in Google AI Studio</a>. The apps are built with development best practices like Jetpack Compose, Kotlin, and APIs that leverage our recommended developer patterns. Google AI Studio enables developers to prototype, iterate via an embedded emulator, and deploy to physical devices without heavy local installations. Developers are then able to take those apps and share them to Android devices, as well as share them with others for testing through Google Play Console’s internal testing track. If a developer wants to prepare their app for a wider release, they’re able to take it to Android Studio for advanced debugging, testing, and UI polish. Watch the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqmpZocmR8o&amp;list=PLOU2XLYxmsIKL_eEgkKJWDRhYUEvS9eYz&amp;index=23">developer keynote</a>, and tune into the <a href="https://io.google/2026/explore/pa-keynote-7">What’s New in Android tools talk</a> for more information.<br><br><div><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdRaw1v6rolr4alo0C6AWKdFchsMEQgtOGfmk2Ramb0IoOB7smDcVU3yC7YJMkvVQuCPJ9vQW53tQjaV-5wcgOGzMtFDmb_Jbv40an1kvQdqYburXnsONvLqckKL2MWuShi3XmQEstW761oOLjujOk3FMsh3FyAiy5-Pe7xdTwFdfkWOmEnHhQfUJhtCo/w640-h544/image1.gif"></div><i><div class="separator"><i>Use the embedded Android Emulator to create Android apps in Google AI Studio</i></div></i></div><h2><strong><span>3: Accelerating AI coding assistance with Android Bench</span></strong></h2>
  <a href="http://d.android.com/bench">Android Bench</a> is our LLM leaderboard for Android development challenges. The goal is to accelerate model improvements, so you have more useful options for AI assistance. Many of you have been using open-weight models for AI assistance, so we’re now adding commonly used ones, such as Gemma 4, to the leaderboard, so you can see how LLMs that offer offline access and additional flexibility for power-users measure up. We're continuously working on increasing the difficulty of challenges we’re giving LLMs, to continue encouraging more useful improvements. <h3><strong><span>4: Convert iOS apps to Android with the Migration Assistant in Android Studio</span></strong></h3>
  The Migration Assistant in Android Studio is designed to port apps from platforms like iOS, React Native, or web frameworks to native Android. By simply selecting an existing project, developers can have the agent intelligently map features, convert assets like storyboards and SVGs, and implement Android best practices using Jetpack Compose and our recommended Jetpack libraries. This effectively transforms what used to be weeks of manual porting into a streamlined agentic workflow that only takes hours. We shared a preview of the incoming feature in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqmpZocmR8o&amp;list=PLOU2XLYxmsIKL_eEgkKJWDRhYUEvS9eYz&amp;index=23">developer keynote</a>. </div><div><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK7UKI_nzS7gOkDXYONAjCNbQ4eSqlgT8qqMT5D4qf0OjQUNtxj4Urpq-eTROMEDgrqLKGlwMm_lHA7ayG_BC1DkitQI1ZKsF5gYr-mPIxFUsz_8JPcVHFAtnHZoO2CrVjMEvJrqvBz8_WU1I0T1P2diDprR2B47PcA21oS3RLtbgrhmrpiWV-MAw9ks4/w640-h360/image9%20(1).gif"></div><div class="separator"><i>A sneak peek of the Migration Assistant converting an iOS app into a native Android app</i></div>

  <h2><strong><span>Building AI Into Your Apps</span></strong></h2>

  <h3><strong><span>5: Building Intelligent Apps with generative AI</span></strong></h3>
  Generative AI enables you to create apps that are more intelligent, personalized, and agentic than ever before. This year, we introduced the latest advancements in on-device intelligence with a preview of Gemini Nano 4 for tasks like data extraction and summarization. We also expanded cloud capabilities via Firebase AI Logic, allowing developers to leverage Gemini models with robust grounding (including URL, Maps, and web search) to build smarter, more capable assistants. Furthermore, we unveiled our hybrid inference approach and the new <a href="https://goo.gle/ADK_IO26">Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Android</a>, alongside communication protocols like AG-UI and A2UI that simplify the creation of autonomous, agentic experiences. To start integrating these powerful features, explore the <a href="https://developer.android.com/ai">developer documentation</a>, and watch the technical deep dive session where we showcase all these technologies.

  <h3><strong><span>6: Experiment with AppFunctions today</span></strong></h3>
  AppFunctions is an <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/appfunctions/package-summary">Android platform API</a> with an accompanying <a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/appfunctions">Jetpack library</a> to simplify building Android MCP integrations. It empowers your apps to behave like on device MCP servers, contributing functions that act as tools for use by agents and assistants. AppFunctions integration with Gemini is currently in a private preview with trusted testers, and you can begin preparing your apps already. You can sign up for the <a href="http://goo.gle/eap-af">Early Access Program</a> and start experimenting using the <a href="http://d.android.com/ai/appfunctions">API guidance</a>, <a href="https://github.com/android/appfunctions">sample</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/android/skills/blob/main/device-ai/appfunctions/SKILL.md">skill</a> today.

  <h2><strong><span>The Future is Adaptive</span></strong></h2>

  <h3><strong><span>7: Android is now Compose First; Views are now in maintenance mode.</span></strong></h3>
  Compose is our standard for UI development, and we are moving to a Compose-first approach for all future guidance and libraries. Building on five years of evolution, the latest releases deliver a more mature toolkit, from the highly customizable Styles API to refined shared element transitions and enhanced input support. These updates allow you to build beautiful, adaptive apps with less code and better performance. Learn more about what Compose-first means for Android Development in <a href="http://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/05/android-ui-development-is-compose-first.html">our blog post</a>. <br><br></div><div class="separator"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq9kh5gxOfSdY2w9ZeKdWropXpqP7rj4KtodIZA5B_j7ujQu-blrsQKKC0lI4VEsEycpLEwsZeJhHaNOY1Xe9DrIHDwVszYfQN0GQlwxz8xoVfg1oiIr9zNlUyqqdCl2M7pyHoHgVvC7omKRthmXNaO3GE5Q15XeZ1ALiugszd8qHxpWuHo2Eh79zYW4M/w640-h416/image5.png"></div><div><div><i>Build Android UI with Compose</i></div><h3><strong><span>8: Building seamless Android experiences across devices with Jetpack Compose</span></strong></h3><div>The Android ecosystem is now <a href="https://goo.gle/AdaptiveApps_IO26">Adaptive by Default</a>, moving fluidly across phones, foldables, tablets, cars, XR, and expanding usages with <a href="https://developer.android.com/googlebook">Googlebook</a> and connected displays. With over 580 million large-screen devices, and users on multiple devices spending up to 14x more on apps, the investment in adaptive design presents a massive opportunity. <a href="https://developer.android.com/compose">Jetpack Compose</a> is the definitive engine for this transition, offering core tools like our latest <a href="http://goo.gle/nav3">Jetpack Navigation 3</a> release, new experimental <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/grid">Grid</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/flexbox">FlexBox</a> layouts, enhanced non-touch input support, and <a href="https://developer.android.com/media/camera/camerax">CameraX</a> for correct camera previews across any window size. Furthermore, new <a href="https://developer.android.com/tools/agents/android-skills">skills</a> in Android Studio make updating your existing app to adopt these adaptive patterns easier than ever.

  Android 17 marks a shift toward a single, Compose-based development model for all widgets. By unifying the experience across mobile, Wear OS, and cars through Jetpack Glance, you can soon scale UI components across the ecosystem with a familiar workflow. <br><br>The breakthrough this year is the integration of RemoteCompose. On mobile and cars, it powers high-fidelity animations, while on Wear OS, it allows Wear Widgets (formerly Tiles) to render complex UI logic natively on remote surfaces. This ensures peak performance on low-power hardware while allowing a cohesive user journey—like checking a flight status on your car dashboard and seeing gate change updates on your wrist.</div><div><br></div><div><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA5s4g4hCW89qdeC2oqrTtxh6q7t9q3-wkOSt3tfVzCT3vhLUd1GMYJrhCjK04O2jyxBGl0R2pclnRq3Kb0f0Td-hV9aukKvZQTfGpGJS6GLK0MqUkpVW_0qiNC1eMGe6NPPhlCHrnQWFYhmbdSzpDnUHh5tjvpmUzZOvY2w_dX1LBnpNctSRmeahXUl4/w640-h320/blog_widgets.gif"></div><div><i>Four widgets are shown cycling through in the Android Auto interface.

<p>Android 17 marks the start of our transition to an intelligence system, putting your apps at the center. It's shifting to an adaptive-first development standard by introducing mandatory large-screen resizability, all while delivering next-generation privacy, security, media, camera, and performance. We'll cover all that in this post, as well as how we're bringing together next generation tools, libraries, and agent skills to help your apps embrace the opportunity.</p>

<p>Throughout the past year, from our Canary channel to our Beta releases, we’ve collaborated with you in the developer community to build a platform you and your users can trust. To that end, this moment marks the availability of the source code at the <a href="https://source.android.com/">Android Open Source Project</a> (AOSP). This allows you to <a href="https://cs.android.com/">examine the source code</a> for a deeper understanding of how Android works.</p>

<p>Let's dive deeper into Android 17.</p>

<h3>An intelligence system</h3>

<p>With deep integration between hardware, software and AI, we’re transforming Android from an operating system to an intelligence system. It's about delivering new helpful experiences that anticipate user needs, and it brings more opportunities for engagement with your apps. To that end, Android 17 expands the capabilities of AppFunctions, a platform API with a corresponding Jetpack library. It allows you to contribute your app's unique capabilities as orchestratable "tools" for Android MCP, the on-device equivalent of the <a href="https://modelcontextprotocol.io/">Model Context Protocol</a>. AI agents and assistants (like Google Gemini) can discover and execute AppFunctions to perform workflows on behalf of the user with direct access to the app's local state.</p>

<p>The Jetpack library, currently in alpha, makes adding AppFunctions as easy as annotating a class and adding KDoc comments.</p>

<pre><code>/**
 * A note app's [AppFunction]s.
 */
class NoteFunctions(
    private val noteRepository: NoteRepository
) {
    /**
     * Adds a new note to the app.
     *
     * @param appFunctionContext The execution context.
     * @param title The title of the note.
     * @param content The note's content.
     */
    @AppFunction(isDescribedByKDoc = true)
    suspend fun createNote(
        appFunctionContext: AppFunctionContext,
        title: String,
        content: String
    ): Note {
        return noteRepository.createNote(title, content)
    }
}</code></pre>

<p>We’ve also launched an <a href="http://github.com/android/skills/tree/main/on-device/appfunctions">AppFunctions agent skill</a> that analyzes your app’s key workflows, automatically generates the required Kotlin code, optimizes your KDocs for LLM tool-calling, and provides ADB commands for testing and debugging.</p>

<p>The Gemini integration is currently in a private preview with trusted testers, but you can begin preparing your apps now. In addition to ADB commands to execute your AppFunctions, we've provided a <a href="http://github.com/android/appfunctions/releases/initial">test agent app</a> that includes an interface to discover and execute your app functions and simulate an AI agent integration. Join our integration early access program at <a href="http://goo.gle/eap-af">goo.gle/eap-af</a> for a chance to be among the first apps to deploy AppFunctions to production.</p>

<h3>Adaptive-first</h3>
<p>Your users no longer rely on a single form factor; they transition between phones, foldables, tablets, laptops, automotive displays, and immersive XR environments. Now, with over <a href="https://developer.android.com/blog/posts/adaptive-development-for-the-expanding-android-ecosystem">580 million large screen devices</a> in the hands of users and the <a href="https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/meet-googlebook/">forthcoming launch of Googlebooks</a>, the next generation of ChromeOS built on the Android stack, adaptive is no longer just a technical goal. It’s a massive opportunity to reach highly engaged users, which is one of the reasons we're shifting to an <a href="https://developer.android.com/adaptive-apps">adaptive-first development standard</a>.</p>

<h2>No resizability/orientation restrictions on large screens</h2>
<p>To ensure apps deliver a premium experience across all form factors, including mobile devices running in desktop mode on connected displays, Android 17 (API level 37) removes the developer opt-out for orientation and resizability restrictions on <a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/large-screens">large screen devices</a> (sw &gt; 600 dp) for apps targeting API level 37. The system will ignore legacy manifest attributes and runtime APIs, including screenOrientation, setRequestedOrientation(), resizeableActivity=false, and aspect ratio constraints (minAspectRatio/maxAspectRatio). Games (based on <a href="https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9859673?hl=en">app category</a> in Google Play) remain exempt. Your app must be ready to adapt to any window size, respect the user's preferred device posture, and support free-form windowing natively.</p>

<h2>Next-gen multitasking: App Bubbles, Bubble Bar, and desktop interactive PiP</h2>
<p>Android 17 introduces powerful new windowing capabilities that redefine how users multitask, demanding even greater layout flexibility from your apps:</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>App Bubbles:</strong> Moving beyond the messaging bubbles API, users can now transform any app into a floating bubble by long-pressing its icon on the launcher. This feature is available across phones, foldables, and tablets, enabling lightweight multitasking for any workflow.</li>
    <li><strong>The Bubble Bar:</strong> On large screens (tablets and foldables), the system taskbar now includes a dedicated Bubble Bar to organize, transition between, and dock these floating app bubbles.</li>
    <li><strong>Desktop interactive PiP:</strong> In desktop environments, Android 17 introduces interactive Picture-in-Picture (PiP). Unlike traditional PiP windows which are read-only, these pinned windows remain fully interactive while staying always-on-top of other application windows.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Activity recreation updates</h2>
<p>To prevent disruptive state loss and stutter, Android 17 updates the default behavior for Activity recreation. The system will no longer restart activities by default for typical configuration changes that do not require a full UI redraw (including <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/pm/ActivityInfo#config_keyboard">CONFIG_KEYBOARD</a>, <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/pm/ActivityInfo#config_keyboard_hidden">CONFIG_KEYBOARD_HIDDEN</a>, <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/pm/ActivityInfo#config_navigation">CONFIG_NAVIGATION</a>, <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/pm/ActivityInfo#config_touchscreen">CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN</a>, and <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/pm/ActivityInfo#config_color_mode">CONFIG_COLOR_MODE</a>).<br>
Instead, running activities will receive these updates via onConfigurationChanged(), enabling smooth transitions. If your application explicitly relies on a full restart to reload resources for these changes, you must now explicitly opt-in using the new <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/R.attr#recreateonconfigchanges">android:recreateOnConfigChanges</a> manifest attribute.</p>

<h2>Continue On</h2>
<p>Android 17 adds Continue On to help users seamlessly transition a task between Android devices. The user sees a suggestion for the most recently opened app from their mobile device in their tablet taskbar, providing a one-tap affordance to launch the app and deep-link where they left off. Continue on can support app-to-web transitions, including falling back to using the web if the app isn't installed.</p><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc8K42DCZ0VTYpFhTlEazp9_AthhqYdm786k1NFolZrP7HwXk2QlF7UV1CU7ECK9N-CiHSfSbH_E2_cXwL3zUuesP-shpa1nau5QmVWDOQeErnCMtvZUw_wwAHNewZZ5S3811f0n_FNoX4U9kyptZQONM_eDB1AAHaoFjMFgTCC7G1d0X2iRo1MN8sev0/s1920/Continue%20On.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc8K42DCZ0VTYpFhTlEazp9_AthhqYdm786k1NFolZrP7HwXk2QlF7UV1CU7ECK9N-CiHSfSbH_E2_cXwL3zUuesP-shpa1nau5QmVWDOQeErnCMtvZUw_wwAHNewZZ5S3811f0n_FNoX4U9kyptZQONM_eDB1AAHaoFjMFgTCC7G1d0X2iRo1MN8sev0/s16000/Continue%20On.png"></a><i>Handoff Suggestion on a Tablet</i></div><p><br></p>

<h2>Go adaptive-first with Jetpack Compose</h2>
<p>To help you adapt your apps to meet the new Android 17 requirements, we've launched the <a href="https://github.com/android/skills/tree/main/jetpack-compose/adaptive">Jetpack Compose adaptive skill</a>. This AI-powered developer workflow helps you implement the best adaptive practices:</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Adaptive navigation:</strong> Automatically transition between bottom navigation bars on mobile and edge-anchored navigation rails on large screens using NavigationSuiteScaffold from the Material 3 Adaptive library.</li>
    <li><strong>Multi-pane layouts:</strong> Implement list-detail and supporting pane layouts natively using Navigation 3 Scenes (ListDetailSceneStrategy and SupportingPaneSceneStrategy) instead of fragile fragment transactions.</li>
    <li><strong>FlexBox &amp; Grid APIs:</strong> Utilize Compose 1.11's dynamic layout components to easily adjust row and column spans on the fly, ensuring your content always fills the space beautifully.</li>
    <li><strong>Advanced non-touch input:</strong> Leverage Compose 1.11's enhanced trackpad and mouse support, including native focus rings and new APIs (like TrackpadInjectionScope and performTrackpadInput) to easily test and deliver a true "laptop-class" experience on Googlebooks and Desktop Mode.</li>
    <li><strong>Dynamic window states:</strong> Leverage Compose's reactive state model to seamlessly adapt your UI when the app transitions from full screen to a floating App Bubble or an interactive Desktop PiP window, ensuring a premium experience even at minimal dimensions.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Android is Compose-first</h2>
<p>Compose offers the easiest way to build adaptive apps, and that's just one of the <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/first#why-compose-first">many reasons</a> we believe that all Android UI should be built with Compose. To that end, <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/first">Android development is now Compose-first</a>. All new Android APIs, libraries, tools, and developer guidance will be built exclusively for Jetpack Compose. Legacy View components (in the android.widget package) and View-based Jetpack libraries (like Fragments, RecyclerView, and ViewPager) are now in maintenance mode. They will receive only critical bug fixes, and no new features.</p>

<h3>Performance &amp; efficiency</h3>
<p>App performance means a smooth user interface, fast app start times, and efficient multitasking; Android 17 has impactful improvements in all of these areas.</p>

<h2>App memory limits</h2>
<p>Memory usage is one of the silent foundations of overall performance. When a foreground app or service grows unchecked, memory management spikes CPU and battery utilization and eventually leads to the termination of other well-behaved cached apps and background jobs, ultimately forcing slower cold starts and impaired multitasking. </p>

<p>Starting in Android 17, the system will enforce strict app memory limits based on a device's total RAM, abruptly terminating offending processes. New things to help you navigate these tighter requirements:</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>R8 Optimizer:</strong> The R8 optimizer significantly reduces your app's bytecode memory footprint by shrinking classes, methods, and fields into shorter names, and stripping out unused code and resources. Use R8 in full mode along with the new <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/app-optimization/r8-configuration-analyzer">R8 configuration analyzer</a> to make sure your app is getting the most from R8.<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQePgjeISaotpA-miDPKel-qgAYtepLjMMBaiKZQqTf_iYRTJurn_iAFdC7utLnKRKAh9OhSjF_D83skA2PPg7xts0ORX7aVxBkoax6b9uEPqTlGiY_sh8Xv7U1pr0h4Nm8FLo-h3IJD8FhTJc-gOtpBwyLCnDBUPRJAuaaBjsIOhvUmTXFSna0ykksak/s2048/R8%20Configuration%20Analyzer.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="397" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQePgjeISaotpA-miDPKel-qgAYtepLjMMBaiKZQqTf_iYRTJurn_iAFdC7utLnKRKAh9OhSjF_D83skA2PPg7xts0ORX7aVxBkoax6b9uEPqTlGiY_sh8Xv7U1pr0h4Nm8FLo-h3IJD8FhTJc-gOtpBwyLCnDBUPRJAuaaBjsIOhvUmTXFSna0ykksak/s16000/R8%20Configuration%20Analyzer.png"></a></div></li></ul><div><span><u><br></u></span></div><div><span><u><br></u></span></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The R8 Configuration Analyzer</div><ul><li><strong>LeakCanary in Android Studio Panda:</strong> The profiler now features native LeakCanary integration as a dedicated task, fully integrated with your IDE and source code.</li>
    <li><strong>ApplicationExitInfo:</strong> If your app is terminated by these limits, getDescription() from ApplicationExitInfo will return "MemoryLimiter:AnonSwap".</li>
    <li><strong>On-Device Anomaly Detection:</strong> Part of ProfilingManager, you can leverage trigger-based profiling using TRIGGER_TYPE_ANOMALY to automatically capture heap dumps when the memory limit is reached.</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>val profilingManager = applicationContext
   .getSystemService(ProfilingManager::class.java)

val triggers = ArrayList&lt;ProfilingTrigger&gt;().apply {
  add(ProfilingTrigger.Builder(
    ProfilingTrigger.TRIGGER_TYPE_ANOMALY).build())
}
profilingManager.addProfilingTriggers(triggers)</code></pre>

<p>And, we're working to surface more in-field memory metrics to you within Google Play Console.</p>

<h2>Generational garbage collection</h2>
<p><a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions">Android 17</a> introduces more frequent, less resource-intensive young-generation collections to <a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/platform#art">ART</a>'s Concurrent Mark-Compact garbage collector (GC). By separating short-lived objects from stable, long-lived ones, the system runs frequent, lightweight "young-generation" sweeps rather than expensive full-heap scans, drastically reducing CPU usage, power drain, and UI stutter. Our testing has shown significant improvements in GC interference with application threads and a reduction in the maximum memory resident set size (RSS). ART improvements are also available to over a billion devices running Android 12 (API level 31) and higher through Google Play System updates.</p>

<h2>Lock-Free MessageQueue</h2>
<p>For apps targeting SDK 37 or higher, the core <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/MessageQueue"><b>android.os.MessageQueue</b></a> now implements a lock-free architecture, significantly reducing missed frames, improving app startup time, and radically improving the performance of busy queues in multithreaded scenarios. Note: This can break apps that use reflection on private <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/MessageQueue"><b>MessageQueue</b></a> fields and methods.  The <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/TestLooperManager#peekWhen()"><b>peekWhen</b></a> and <b><a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/TestLooperManager#poll()">poll</a> </b>APIs have been added to <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/TestLooperManager"><b>TestLooperManager</b></a> for instrumentation testing without relying on <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/MessageQueue"><b>MessageQueue</b></a> internals.</p>

<h2>Static final fields now truly final</h2>
<p>Starting from Android 17, apps targeting SDK 37 or higher won’t be able to modify “static final” fields, allowing the runtime to apply performance optimizations more aggressively. An attempt to do so via reflection (or deep reflection) will lead to an IllegalAccessException being thrown. Modifying them via JNI’s <b><code>SetStatic&lt;Type&gt;Field</code></b> methods family will immediately crash the application.</p>

<h2>Custom notification view restrictions</h2>
<p>To reduce memory usage we are further restricting the size of <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notifications/custom-notification">custom notification views</a>. This update closes a loophole that allows apps to bypass existing limits using URIs. This behavior is gated by the target SDK version and takes effect for apps targeting API 37 and higher.</p>

<h3>Privacy &amp; Security</h3>
<p>Maintaining user trust is at the heart of the Android ecosystem. Android 17 introduces robust features that protect sensitive data while simplifying user experiences.</p>

<h2>Privacy-preserving choices</h2>
<p>Historically, apps required broad, permanent permissions to access information like contacts, precise location and media files. Android 17 continues the shift toward privacy-preserving choices that grant temporary, session-based access only to the data the user explicitly selects:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>System-Level Contact Picker:</strong> Utilizing <code>ACTION_PICK_CONTACTS</code>, apps can request temporary access only to specific fields (e.g., email or phone number) chosen by the user, eliminating the need for the broad <code>READ_CONTACTS</code> permission. It also fully supports work/personal profile separation.</li>
    <li><strong>Customizable Photo Picker aspect ratio:</strong> Using<b><code>PhotoPickerUiCustomizationParams</code></b>, you can customize the system photo picker to show thumbnails in portrait mode. This is perfect for apps that always display photos and videos in portrait such as video based social media apps.</li>
    <li><strong>System-rendered Location Button:</strong> A new system-rendered location button that you can embed in your app grants precise location access for the current session only.</li>
    <li><strong>EyeDropper API:</strong> A new system-level API, <code>ACTION_OPEN_EYE_DROPPER</code>, allows your app to create a system-powered eyedropper enabling the user to select color from any pixel on the display. This provides a secure, privacy-preserving color-picking experience that eliminates the need for broad, sensitive screen capture or media projection permissions.</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>val eyeDropperLauncher = registerForActivityResult(ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult()) { result -&gt;
   if (result.resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
       val color = result.data?.getIntExtra(Intent.EXTRA_COLOR, Color.BLACK)
       // Use the picked color in your app
   }
}
fun launchColorPicker() {
   val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_OPEN_EYE_DROPPER)
   eyeDropperLauncher.launch(intent)
}</code></pre>

<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8m_oR9WymjE9G26nGUCqdhS9GrBd6FXN3ujWbjq7ECD6OMGhS4xUApWkAWpPpRef7lwLhsRE2jYL9FADoF_FX2eMXD-0hp9JVaCzrDhfU8RYJ9qv-Ds9YIwyQK7yHKidW0oOtX1rpg2pG9x2yNp3UkGJDPqUlHX7hiLb-bvDue67FPZK1O-22SuXbO8I/s1267/Eyedropper%20Tester.webp"><img border="0" data-original-height="713" data-original-width="1267" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8m_oR9WymjE9G26nGUCqdhS9GrBd6FXN3ujWbjq7ECD6OMGhS4xUApWkAWpPpRef7lwLhsRE2jYL9FADoF_FX2eMXD-0hp9JVaCzrDhfU8RYJ9qv-Ds9YIwyQK7yHKidW0oOtX1rpg2pG9x2yNp3UkGJDPqUlHX7hiLb-bvDue67FPZK1O-22SuXbO8I/w640-h360/Eyedropper%20Tester.webp" width="640"></a></div><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><br></h3><h3><span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><i>Picking a color from anywhere on the screen with the system EyeDropper</i></span></span></h3><h2>Local network access</h2>
<p>Apps targeting Android 17 now either require the <code><a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/Manifest.permission#access_local_network">ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK</a></code> runtime permission or the use of system-mediated, privacy-preserving device pickers for local network communication, such as talking to smart home devices or casting receivers. Because <code>ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK</code>  falls under the existing <code><a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission_group#NEARBY_DEVICES">NEARBY_DEVICES</a></code> permission group, users who have already granted other <code><a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/Manifest.permission_group#NEARBY_DEVICES">NEARBY_DEVICES</a></code> permissions will not be prompted again. </p>

<h2>SMS OTP protection</h2>
<p>Android 17 expands SMS one-time-password (OTP) protection by delaying access to SMS messages for three hours:</p>
<ul>
  <li>WebOTP Format: <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/behavior-changes-all#sms-otp-all-apps">Delayed for all apps that are not the intended recipient (domain mismatch)</a>.</li>
  <li>Standard SMS OTP: <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/behavior-changes-17#sms-otp-protection">Delayed for all apps targeting SDK 37+</a>.</li>
  <li>Exemptions: Default SMS, assistant, and connected companion apps are exempt. Apps are strongly encouraged to migrate to the <a href="https://developer.android.com/identity/sms-retriever">SMS Retriever</a> or <a href="https://developers.google.com/identity/sms-retriever/user-consent/overview">SMS User Consent APIs</a>.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)</h2>
<p>Android 17 is ready for the next generation of cryptographic security:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Keystore Integration: Supported devices can generate ML-DSA (Module-Lattice-Based Digital Signature Algorithm) keys in secure hardware to produce quantum-safe signatures, exposed via standard JCA APIs.</li>
  <li>Hybrid APK Signing: Introducing the v3.2 APK Signature Scheme, which combines classical signatures with ML-DSA signatures to secure app delivery.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Safer native dynamic code loading </h2>
If your app targets SDK 37 or higher, the Safer Dynamic Code Loading (DCL) protection <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/behavior-changes-14#safer-dynamic-code-loading">introduced in Android 14</a> for DEX and JAR files now extends to native libraries. All native files loaded using System.load must be marked as read-only. Otherwise, the system throws UnsatisfiedLinkError

<h2>Smarter password protection for physical inputs</h2>
<p>With Android 17, we're making it safer to enter passwords, PINs, and other secrets when using a physical keyboard by no longer showing the last typed character by default.</p>
<p>Users can still easily customize these display settings to match their preferences (availability may vary by device manufacturer).</p>
<p>These enhanced privacy protections are automatically supported byAndroid's built-in SDK components and will be supported in Compose 1.12 for SecureTextFields. </p>

</h2><p>Android 17 introduces new <a href="https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/platforms/android/android-17-creator-features/">creator features</a> that give access to pro-quality cameras and media, all while improving the experience for consumers.</p>

<ul>
  <li><a href="https://developer.android.com/media/platform/integrate-eclipsa-video">Eclipsa Video</a>: HDR video standard built upon the <a href="https://github.com/SMPTE/st2094-50">SMPTE ST 2094-50 specification</a> that introduces new metadata to help devices adapt content for their display headroom and ambient light conditions, as well as improve the simultaneous display of standard and HDR content.</li>
  <li>RAW14 image format: New support for the <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/graphics/ImageFormat#raw14">RAW14 image format</a> provides a way for your professional camera app to capture the highest level of detail and color depth from compatible camera sensors.</li>
  <li>Vendor-defined camera extensions: Vendor-defined extensions enable hardware partners to define and implement custom camera extension modes, providing access to the best and latest camera features.</li>
  <li>Extended HE-AAC software encoder: A new system-provided Extended HE-AAC software encoder, supports both low and high bitrates using unified speech and audio coding, providing significantly better audio quality for voice messages in low-bandwidth conditions, including support for loudness metadata.</li>
  <li><a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/media-formats#video-formats">Versatile Video Coding (H.266)</a>:  Enables OEMs to add codec support by defining the <a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/media-formats#video-formats">video/vvc</a> MIME type in <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaFormat"><code>MediaFormat</code></a>, adding new VVC profiles in <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaCodecInfo"><code>MediaCodecInfo</code></a>, and integrating support into <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaExtractor"><code>MediaExtractor</code></a>.</li>
  <li>Camera device type: New APIs that query the underlying device type to identify if a camera is built-in hardware, an external USB webcam, or a virtual camera.</li>
  <li>Constant Quality for Video Recording: <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder#setVideoEncodingQuality(int)"><code>SetVideoEncodingQuality</code></a> in <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaRecorder"><code>MediaRecorder</code></a> configures a constant quality (CQ) mode for video encoders to ensure uniform visual fidelity across the entire video.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Better support for hearing aids</h2>
<ul>
  <li>Bluetooth LE Audio hearing aid support: Android now includes a specific device category for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Audio hearing aids with the new <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioDeviceInfo#TYPE_BLE_HEARING_AID"><code>AudioDeviceInfo.TYPE_BLE_HEARING_AID</code></a> constant, so your app can distinguish hearing aids from regular headsets to provide a tailored experience for users with assistive listening devices.</li>
  <li>Granular audio routing for hearing aids: Android 17 allows users to independently manage where specific system sounds are played. They can choose to route notifications, ringtones, and alarms to connected hearing aids or the device's built-in speaker, helping to avoid unwanted in-ear interruptions while maintaining a Bluetooth connection for hearing aid management apps.</li>
</ul>

<h2>CameraX and  Media3</h2>
<p><a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/camerax">CameraX</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/media3">Media3</a> have been updated for Android 17. They are there to do the heavy lifting, smoothing the rough edges of media development and simplifying building reliable camera capture,  smooth media playback, and creative and complex editing experiences. </p>

<p>We've released an <a href="https://github.com/android/skills/tree/main/camera">agent skill</a> that can migrate legacy Android camera implementations (Camera1 or raw Camera2 APIs) to CameraX.</p>
  
<p>Note: You'll need to update your CameraX version to either 1.5.2 or 1.6.0+ to avoid a crash related to an added dynamic range mode on Android 17 devices.</p>

<h3>Get your apps, libraries, tools, and game engines ready!</h3>
<p>If you develop an Android SDK, library, tool, or game engine, it's critical to prepare any necessary updates now to prevent your downstream app and game developers from being blocked by compatibility issues and allow them to target the latest SDK features. Please let your downstream developers know if updates are needed to fully support Android 17.</p>

<p>Testing involves installing your production app or a test app making use of your library or engine using Google Play or other means onto a device or emulator running Android 17 Beta 4. Work through all your app's flows and look for functional or UI issues. Each release of Android contains platform changes that improve privacy, security, and overall user experience; review the app impacting behavior changes for apps <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/behavior-changes-all">running on</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/behavior-changes-17">targeting</a> Android 17 to focus your testing, including the following:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Resizability on large screens: Once you target Android 17 (SDK 37), you can no longer opt out of maintaining orientation, resizability and aspect ratio constraints <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/changes/ff-restrictions-ignored">on large screens</a>.</li>
  <li>Dynamic code loading: If your app targets SDK 37 or higher, the Safer Dynamic Code Loading (DCL) protection <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/14/behavior-changes-14#safer-dynamic-code-loading">introduced in Android 14 </a>for DEX and JAR files now extends to native libraries. All native files loaded using System.load() must be marked as read-only. Otherwise, the system throws UnsatisfiedLinkError.</li>
  <li>Enable CT by default: <a href="https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/security-config#CertificateTransparencySummary">Certificate transparency (CT)</a> is enabled by default. (On Android 16, CT is available but apps had to <a href="https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/security-config#certificateTransparency">opt in</a>.)</li>
  <li>Local network protections: Apps targeting SDK 37 or higher have <a href="https://developer.android.com/privacy-and-security/local-network-permission#android-17-enforcement">local network access blocked by default</a>. Switch to using privacy preserving pickers if possible, and use the new <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/Manifest.permission#access_local_network"><b><code>ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK</code></b>permission for broad, persistent access.</a></li>
  <li>Background audio hardening: Starting in Android 17, the audio framework enforces <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/changes/bg-audio">restrictions on background audio interactions</a> including audio playback, <a href="https://developer.android.com/media/optimize/audio-focus">audio focus</a> requests, and <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager#adjustStreamVolume(int,%20int,%20int)">volume change</a> APIs. Based on your feedback, we’ve made some changes since beta 2, including targetSDK gating while-in-use FGS enforcement and exempting alarm audio. Full details available in the <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/changes/bg-audio">updated guidance</a>.</li>
  <li>NPU access declaration: Apps targeting Android 17 that need to directly access the NPU must declare <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/content/pm/PackageManager#feature_neural_processing_unit">FEATURE_NEURAL_PROCESSING_UNIT</a> in their manifest to avoid being blocked from accessing the NPU. This includes apps that use the <a href="https://ai.google.dev/edge/litert/next/npu">LiteRT NPU delegate</a>, vendor-specific SDKs, as well as the deprecated <a href="https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/neuralnetworks">NNAPI</a>.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Get started with Android 17</h3>
<p>Your Pixel device should get Android 17 shortly if you haven't already been on the Android Beta. If you don’t have a Pixel device, you can <a href="https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/get#on_emulator">use the 64-bit system images with the Android Emulator</a> in Android Studio. If you are currently on Android 17 Beta 4.1 and have not yet taken an Android 17 QPR1 beta, you can opt out of the program and you will then be offered the release version of Android 17 over the air.</p>
<h3>Getting the Android 17 beta on partner devices</h3>

By bringing Google's Visual Positioning System (VPS) to Android XR, Android XR enables anchoring digital content to the physical world with sub-meter accuracy and precise orientation in supported areas.* To explore what the Geospatial API could unlock, our team built a demo: the XR Geospatial Tour.</p>

<p>Imagine walking into a new city, putting on a pair of wired XR glasses (like the upcoming XREAL Project Aura), and instantly having a knowledgeable, local guide showing you around. You don't need to stare down at a 2D map—instead, 3D models gently guide your path, and an intelligent voice tells you about the historical landmarks right in front of you. We combined the <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/xr/arcore/Geospatial">Geospatial APIs</a>, <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic">Gemini API using Firebase AI Logic</a>, <a href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/maps-grounding">Google Maps Grounding</a>, and <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk">Jetpack XR SDK</a> to create a hands-free, immersive walking tour experience.</p>

<div class="separator">
  
<p>*Disclaimer: Video and Tour Guide application are for demonstration purposes only. Some sequences have been shortened. Any hardware depicted may be under development; final product details may differ.</p>

<p>Let’s walk through the implementation details and show how we tied these APIs together to build a world-scale spatial experience.</p>

<h3>1. Pinpointing the User with ARCore Geospatial API (VPS)</h3>
<p>Enhance your navigation experience on XR by combining the power of GPS with the precision of VPS. The accuracy and precise orientation that comes with VPS allows 3D waypoints to align with the physical world.</p>

<p>This is why the Geospatial API on Android XR can help you build custom experiences. By using advanced computer vision, VPS tries to provide a <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/xr/runtime/math/GeospatialPose">GeospatialPose</a> (including latitude, longitude, and heading) that is more accurate than GPS.</p>

<p>Here's how we retrieve the user's Geospatial pose by mapping the device's orientation to a Geospatial coordinate:</p>
<pre><div>// Retrieve the current geospatial pose from the ARCore session</div><code><div>val result = geospatial.createGeospatialPoseFromPose(arDevice.state.value.devicePose)</div><div>if (result is CreateGeospatialPoseFromPoseSuccess) {</div><div>    val pose = result.pose</div><div>    Log.d("VPS", "Accurate Location: ${pose.latitude}, ${pose.longitude}")</div><div>}</div></code></pre>

<p>Because the entire experience relies on this accuracy, we monitor the horizontalAccuracy and orientationYawAccuracy until they meet our thresholds. If the user is indoors or in an unrecognized area, we prompt them to "walk to an outdoor public space and look around".</p>

<h3>2. Crafting the Itinerary with Gemini API &amp; Google Maps Grounding</h3>
<p>Once we have a location, we use the <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic">Gemini API using Firebase AI Logic</a> to prompt the Gemini model to act as a local tour guide. We pass the user's coordinates to the model and ask it to output a structured JSON response containing nearby walking tours:</p>

<pre><div>   val configForTools = ToolConfig(</div><code><div>      functionCallingConfig = null,</div><div>      retrievalConfig = retrievalConfig {</div><div>        latLng = FirebaseLatLng(pose.latitude, pose.longitude)</div><div>        languageCode = "en"</div><div>      }</div><div>    )</div><div></div><div>    val responseJsonSchema = Schema.obj(</div><div>      mapOf(</div><div>        "locationIntro" to Schema.string(),</div><div>        "tours" to Schema.array(</div><div>          Schema.obj(</div><div>            mapOf(</div><div>              "title" to Schema.string(),</div><div>              "description" to Schema.string(),</div><div>              "stops" to Schema.array(</div><div>                Schema.obj(</div><div>                  mapOf(</div><div>                    "name" to Schema.string(),</div><div>                    "detailedName" to Schema.string(),</div><div>                    "description" to Schema.string()</div><div>                  )</div><div>                )</div><div>              )</div><div>            )</div><div>          )</div><div>        )</div><div>      )</div><div>    )</div><div></div><div>    val model = Firebase.ai(backend = GenerativeBackend.googleAI()).generativeModel(</div><div>      modelName = "gemini-3.5-flash",</div><div>      tools = listOf(Tool.googleMaps()),</div><div>      generationConfig = generationConfig {</div><div>        responseMimeType = "application/json"</div><div>        responseSchema = responseJsonSchema</div><div>      }</div><div>    )</div><div></div><div>   val result = model.generateContent("The user is at latitude ${pose.latitude} and longitude ${pose.longitude}. Generate exactly 3 diverse tours near this location (e.g., historical, food, nature). All tour ideas should be walking distance only.")</div></code></pre>

<p>Large Language Models are great at generating rich descriptions, but they can sometimes hallucinate exact latitude/longitude coordinates. To solve this, we used <a href="https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/maps-grounding">Google Maps Grounding</a> to ground the AI.</p>

<h3>3. A Voice to Guide You: Gemini 2.5 TTS</h3>
<p>To make the tour guide feel truly present, we implemented dynamic voiceovers.</p>

<p>Using the gemini-2.5-flash-tts model, we can configure our model generation config to natively return audio data instead of just text! Here’s how you can request the ResponseModality.AUDIO:</p>

<pre><div>val ttsModel = Firebase.ai(backend = GenerativeBackend.googleAI())</div><code><div>    .generativeModel(</div><div>        modelName = "gemini-2.5-flash-tts",</div><div>        generationConfig = generationConfig {</div><div>            // Instruct the model to return Audio</div><div>            responseModalities = listOf(ResponseModality.AUDIO)</div><div>        }</div><div>    )</div><div></div><div>val response = ttsModel.generateContent("Say in a neutral but positive voice:\n$prompt")</div><div></div><div>// Extract the raw audio bytes from the response</div><div>val audioBytes = response.candidates.firstOrNull()?.content?.parts</div><div>    ?.filterIsInstance&lt;InlineDataPart&gt;()</div><div>    ?.firstOrNull { it.mimeType.contains("audio") }?.inlineData</div></code></pre>

<h3>4. Bringing it to Life in 3D with Jetpack XR</h3>
<p>The final piece of the puzzle is rendering this data in the user's field of view. The Jetpack XR SDK makes it intuitive to transition from  a 2D Android UI to spatial computing.</p>

<p>We used Jetpack Compose for XR to build spatial components. To represent points of interest along the tour, we built a Composable called InfoSphere, which contains a GltfModel of a 3D orb that floats in space and can be interacted with to reveal information.</p>

<p>Using Jetpack XR SDK, we can place 3D models alongside the Compose UI using <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/xr/compose/subspace/SpatialBox.composable">SpatialBox</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/xr/compose/subspace/SceneCoreEntity.composable">SceneCoreEntity</a>. We also used <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/xr/scenecore/InteractableComponent">InteractableComponent</a> to respond to user taps.</p>
<pre><div>@Composable</div><code><div>fun InfoSphere(</div><div>    content: InfoBubbleContent,</div><div>    session: Session,</div><div>    sphereModel: GltfModel,</div><div>    isSelected: Boolean,</div><div>    onClick: () -&gt; Unit</div><div>) {</div><div>    // SpatialBox lets us arrange 3D components and SpatialPanels together</div><div>    SpatialBox(</div><div>        SubspaceModifier</div><div>            .offset(x = 2.dp, y = 1.dp, z = (-3).dp) // Positioned in 3D space</div><div>    ) {</div><div>        // Smoothly animate the visibility of our 2D Compose UI Panel</div><div>        AnimatedSpatialVisibility(visible = isSelected) {</div><div>            SpatialPanel {</div><div>                InfoBubble(content) // Regular 2D Compose UI</div><div>            }</div><div>        }</div><div>        // Render our interactive 3D sphere</div><div>        SceneCoreEntity(</div><div>            factory = {</div><div>                GltfModelEntity.create(session, sphereModel).also { entity -&gt;</div><div>                    // Make the 3D model respond to user taps</div><div>                    entity.addComponent(InteractableComponent.create(session) { inputEvent -&gt;</div><div>                        if (inputEvent.action == InputEvent.Action.UP) {</div><div>                            onClick()</div><div>                        }</div><div>                    })</div><div>                }</div><div>            }</div><div>        )</div><div>    }</div><div>}</div></code></pre>

<p>By combining <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/xr/compose/subspace/animation/AnimatedSpatialVisibility.composable">AnimatedSpatialVisibility</a> for traditional Compose UI surfaces with SceneCoreEntity 3D elements, we're able to seamlessly blend data into the physical world.</p>

<h3>Explore what’s possible with Android XR today</h3>
<p>Building the XR Geospatial Tour app showed us that the barrier to entry for world-scale spatial experiences is lower than ever for Android developers. With the Geospatial API now available in preview on Android XR, your apps can seamlessly understand the physical world around them. By combining <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/jetpack-xr-sdk/ui-compose">Compose for XR</a>’s APIs with the high-precision location data of VPS and the generative capabilities of Gemini, we can create experiences that understand both where the user is and what they are looking at.</p>

<p>To help you get hands-on with Android XR, we are thrilled to open applications for the <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/xr/catalyst">Android XR Developer Catalyst Program</a>, which includes XREAL Project Aura. Starting today, you can apply to get access to an XREAL Project Aura devkit or our display glasses devkit over the coming months! </p>

While 99% of apps on Play have been registered automatically, you should check your <a href="https://play.google.com/console/u/0/developers/5700313618786177705/android-developer-verification">Play Console Home page</a> to register any remaining apps by September 30, 2026 to avoid global removal from Google Play and ensure a seamless user installation experience. </blockquote><br><blockquote>You can also use Play Console to register apps you distribute outside of Google Play to ensure they can be installed on certified Android devices.</blockquote><span><div><br></div></span><div>Last year, we introduced <a href="https://developer.android.com/developer-verification">Android developer verification</a> to strengthen ecosystem security and stop malicious actors from hiding behind anonymity to release harmful apps. Millions of apps have been registered since the verification launched in March, covering nearly all installs on Google Play and a large majority of installs from outside of Google Play. We appreciate the feedback and partnership from industry leaders, developers, and Android communities that helped us design this experience and drive strong adoption.<h2>Initial launch across seven stores and four countries</h2>

<p>These new developer verification protections will take effect on September 30, 2026, starting with users in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.</p>

<p>This rollout is an <b>industry-wide effort to create a safer ecosystem</b>. We will begin by verifying app installations from the following stores:</p>

<ul>
    <li>Google (Google Play)</li>
    <li>Honor (HONOR App Market)</li>
    <li>OPlus (OPPO App Market)</li>
    <li>Samsung (Galaxy Store)</li>
    <li>Transsion (Palm Store)</li>
    <li>vivo (V-Appstore)</li>
    <li>Xiaomi (GetApps)</li>
</ul>

<p>Following this initial phase with our partners, we will expand these protections globally for all apps on certified Android devices in 2027.</p><h2>Automate your workflow with new APIs</h2>

<p>To further streamline app registration, we are<b> launching a suite of developer-requested APIs</b> to help you register apps in bulk or directly through your continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. The Android Developer ID Status API will let you check if a package name has already been registered, and the Android Developer Console API will let you register and manage package names directly within your development environment.

In our <a href="http://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/07/build-intelligent-android-apps-introduction-jetpack.html" target="_blank">previous post we introduced Jetpacker</a>, the demo app we'll use throughout this series.</p>

<p>In this blog post, we will share how you can use Gemini Nano through <a href="https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai/prompt/android">ML Kit’s Prompt API</a> to build intelligent on-device features.</p>
<div>
  
  
</div>

<p>Building intelligent on-device features refers to the ability to process prompts and data directly on a device without sending data to a server. This offers a few advantages:</p>
<ul>
  <li>User data can be processed <b>locally</b> on the device, preserving user privacy</li>
  <li>Functionality of the model is <b>reliable</b> even with spotty or no internet connection</li>
  <li>No additional cloud inference <b>cost</b>, since everything runs on the user’s hardware</li>
</ul>

<p>With the benefits of on-device in mind, we identified three features to add in Jetpacker that can improve the user experience: summarizing trip itineraries, managing expenses, and capturing voice notes.</p>

<h2><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3FDrGSpGJqSapXXQ7052s1NR8rzvmmW-xbyOaAcg8bdTA6ZH7p6ZWE664FjlaoDLfREd-RlQil7gV-VjnCoq76o06haLoSxBzlIDAvM-dKvm_TCgPvqHU3ZlzBTXZ9XtAyMk26QWB8PvU5aUmzO0RBuMxqxJdC1wk7xl_1PXd1KHvuMCeHeAP9zhgSjg/s1848/Screenshot%202026-07-02%20at%2012.57.08%E2%80%AFPM.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="1256" data-original-width="1848" height="434" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3FDrGSpGJqSapXXQ7052s1NR8rzvmmW-xbyOaAcg8bdTA6ZH7p6ZWE664FjlaoDLfREd-RlQil7gV-VjnCoq76o06haLoSxBzlIDAvM-dKvm_TCgPvqHU3ZlzBTXZ9XtAyMk26QWB8PvU5aUmzO0RBuMxqxJdC1wk7xl_1PXd1KHvuMCeHeAP9zhgSjg/w640-h434/Screenshot%202026-07-02%20at%2012.57.08%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="640"></a></div><div><span><span><i>On-device features in Jetpacker: Summarizing trip itineraries, managing expenses, and voice notes</i></span></span></div><div class="separator"><br></div>High quality tailored summarization of short texts</h2>

<p>The itinerary screen gives users a quick overview of all activities for a given trip. Since this screen contains a lot of information, it can quickly become overwhelming. To help users prepare without feeling overwhelmed, we can add a ‘<b>Get ready for your trip</b>’ section at the top.</p>
<p><em></em></p>
<div class="separator"><em><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtWrJplvxl7ymB4kMN_Tg4tYYkL7G1Ory0hSptzqsbw_xCu4I9l_4SQPQ9CUXs_Jc7qtT1KcpltBds0aYgIvXiK_-qp6fnoX3QmYnGyqGgr2d5f2uzQkyMK-_Iebwp9Ap0aJA4c8Pz4Zy01O5AM6kk_qZ4Blx_bY-_2xIxSA8DMva2LWBbCN_Hb_c37KE/s2499/Screenshot_20260702_111934.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="2499" data-original-width="1183" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtWrJplvxl7ymB4kMN_Tg4tYYkL7G1Ory0hSptzqsbw_xCu4I9l_4SQPQ9CUXs_Jc7qtT1KcpltBds0aYgIvXiK_-qp6fnoX3QmYnGyqGgr2d5f2uzQkyMK-_Iebwp9Ap0aJA4c8Pz4Zy01O5AM6kk_qZ4Blx_bY-_2xIxSA8DMva2LWBbCN_Hb_c37KE/w189-h400/Screenshot_20260702_111934.png" width="189"></a></em></div>
<div><span><span><i>The romantic Paris trip is summarized as a classic Parisian adventure blending art, sights, and delicious food. A tip and some useful phrases are also added.</i></span></span></div>
<p></p>

<p>By inputting a trip itinerary and asking an LLM to summarize it, we can generate a quick summary of the trip along with packing tips and useful local phrases. This is a great use case for an on-device model for several reasons:</p>
<ul>
  <li><b>Performance and quality</b>: Both the input and output text are relatively short. With that, we can expect the performance and quality of an on-device solution to be on par with more powerful cloud models.</li>
  <li><b>Scalability</b>: Shifting inference on-device allows us to scale this feature from a few users to millions without worrying about managing increasing cloud inference costs.</li>
  <li><b>Low latency and reliability</b>: On-device inference guarantees low latency, providing a reliable experience even when users are offline.</li>
</ul>

<p>To build with on-device, we use <b>Gemini Nano</b>, Google’s most efficient model optimized for mobile devices. Gemini Nano was first introduced a few years ago, and is now running on over 140 million devices. The latest version of the model, <a href="https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/04/AI-Core-Developer-Preview.html">Gemini Nano 4, is built on the architecture foundation of the recently released Gemma 4 model</a>, and is further optimized for maximum battery and performance efficiency.</p>

<p>Using ML Kit’s <b>Prompt API</b>, we can take advantage of Gemini Nano 4’s new model capabilities to prototype our on-device features. We’ll create a prompt that includes the itinerary of a trip and ask the model to generate a summary along with any preparation tips.</p>

<pre><code>// implementation("com.google.mlkit:genai-prompt:1.0.0-beta3") 

// Define the configuration for Gemini Nano 4 E2B preview model
val previewFastConfig = generationConfig {
    modelConfig = modelConfig {
        releaseStage = ModelReleaseStage.PREVIEW
        preference = ModelPreference.FAST
    }
}

val geminiNano2BPreviewModel = Generation.getClient(previewFastConfig)

val tripItinerary = ...

val getReadyForYourTripSummary = geminiNano2BPreviewModel
 .generateContent("Given this trip itinerary: $tripItinerary, 
     generate the following: overall vibe, tips on how to prepare for this
     trip, and common short phrases to learn for the trip.")</code></pre>

<p>Finding the optimal prompt usually requires some iteration, and the AICore app is perfect for this step in the process. After opting into the <a href="https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai/aicore-dev-preview">developer preview option for AICore</a>, we can download preview models such as Gemini Nano 4 to test prompts and see the model’s expected outputs. With a few iterations on the prompt, we were able to improve the speed of the response from 13 seconds to under 2 seconds! Check out the final code implementation and prompt <a href="https://github.com/android/ai-samples/blob/40b999ef0e85693eac4de06e58335f0f5f125fa6/jetpacker/android/feature/trip/itinerary/enrichment/src/main/kotlin/com/example/jetpacker/feature/itinerary_enrichment/TripSummaryAndTipsProviderImpl.kt#L100" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaY2Q7rzlrAj2i410lc3qqtKwI3m6ufAi27R5S94LVFJKEJPnxmvShIcAWdD_Cx9lhTz9tmKW_DVcmNg0rZFBKpqYj0M9niFJwa-AurlyV2SHuErI7Z9H59Q9S936I4ErUQ_NFRNSJpUBXwDVmw6vKNVpIkBrYPJNUpCIyNXl5Z17x7jEl5Kn9BGgFuLg/s553/Screen%20Recording%202026-07-02%20at%2012.28.51%E2%80%AFPM.gif"><img border="0" data-original-height="553" data-original-width="496" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaY2Q7rzlrAj2i410lc3qqtKwI3m6ufAi27R5S94LVFJKEJPnxmvShIcAWdD_Cx9lhTz9tmKW_DVcmNg0rZFBKpqYj0M9niFJwa-AurlyV2SHuErI7Z9H59Q9S936I4ErUQ_NFRNSJpUBXwDVmw6vKNVpIkBrYPJNUpCIyNXl5Z17x7jEl5Kn9BGgFuLg/w359-h400/Screen%20Recording%202026-07-02%20at%2012.28.51%E2%80%AFPM.gif" width="359"></a></div>

<div><span><span><i>The first iteration of our prompt generated way too many tokens, and optimizing it helped keep responses quick and to the point.</i></span></span></div>

<h2>Local processing for sensitive user input</h2>

<p>Next, to help users enjoy their trip even more, we’ll build a simple expense manager that takes the manual work out of sorting through receipts and calculating budgets.</p>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsHCjYJhDefKk1_FHnyB8mXO6XGrVWPrWkkxUikHNrWly2YqLjD8GyN-qGXOBlZCJPug-VbVgBr8awg8I-TEl6d9udKhq_zKem9Xcdb7FzFlA4B77Iko2Rbf8R0XIPB30owcMoh-7KJ1paQnzDrNHSdvwYotNxt166QqJdNAf1d8wEwIFkL9qIEYUKmoQ/s1282/7.13_BlogGif_Transparent.gif"><img border="0" data-original-height="1282" data-original-width="613" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsHCjYJhDefKk1_FHnyB8mXO6XGrVWPrWkkxUikHNrWly2YqLjD8GyN-qGXOBlZCJPug-VbVgBr8awg8I-TEl6d9udKhq_zKem9Xcdb7FzFlA4B77Iko2Rbf8R0XIPB30owcMoh-7KJ1paQnzDrNHSdvwYotNxt166QqJdNAf1d8wEwIFkL9qIEYUKmoQ/w191-h400/7.13_BlogGif_Transparent.gif" width="191"></a></div>
<br>
  
<div><span><span><i>Taking a photo of a restaurant bill, data is parsed and shown in the expense overview screen of the app.</i></span></span></div>

<p>Since receipts might contain sensitive information like credit card number and addresses, this is another great use case for an on-device solution. With on-device, users can be confident that private information will be processed locally on the device without any of their data being sent to the cloud.</p>

<p>In addition, Gemini Nano 4 has improved model capabilities for multimodality, especially for image understanding tasks like OCR and visual data extraction, making it a great solution for tasks like extracting information from receipts.</p>

<p>For this use case, the prompt will analyze an image of the receipt, and output information such as: a generated title, amount spent and category of the expense. To ensure the model outputs the information in the preferred format, we can use <a href="https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai/prompt/android/structured-output">ML Kit’s Structured Output API</a> to seamlessly output a Kotlin data object that we define.</p>

<pre><code>// implementation("com.google.mlkit:genai-prompt:1.0.0-beta3")
// ksp("com.google.mlkit:genai-schema-compiler:1.0.0-alpha1")

@Generable("Information extracted from an expense receipt")
data class ParsedReceipt(
  @Guide("Generated title for the expense less than 6 words. Based on restaurant or activity name.")
  val title: String,
  @Guide("Total amount of the expense. Look for values at the bottom and words like total or balance due.")
  val amount: Double,
  @Guide("Type of expense", enumValues = ["travel", "food", "shopping", "entertainment", "other"])
  val category: String,
)

val prompt = "Determine if the image is a receipt or expense. 
    If it is NOT a receipt or expense, output the text 'NOT_A_RECEIPT'.
    Otherwise, parse the receipt information."

val request = generateContentRequest(ImagePart(bitmap), TextPart(prompt)) {}
val requestWithStructuredOutput = generateTypedContentRequest(request, ParsedReceipt::class)

// Define the configuration for Gemini Nano 4 E4B preview model  
// When selecting models, you can specify which performance charactertists are most important
//  for your use case. Use ModelPreference.FULL when you want to prioritize reasoning power over speed. 
//  Use ModelPreference.FAST when complex logic is not required and latency is a priority.
val previewFullConfig = generationConfig {
    modelConfig = modelConfig {
        releaseStage = ModelReleaseStage.PREVIEW
        preference = ModelPreference.FULL
    }
}

val geminiNano4BPreviewModel = Generation.getClient(previewFullConfig)
val response = geminiNano4BPreviewModel.generateContent(requestWithStructuredOutput)
val parsedReceipt: ParsedReceipt? = response.candidates.firstOrNull()?.response</code></pre>

<h2>Multimodal input</h2>

<p>Lastly, to help users record audio memos during the trip, let’s build a fully on-device voice notes feature. Using <a href="https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai/speech-recognition/android">ML Kit’s Speech Recognition API</a>, we’ll enable users to record short voice notes that are automatically transcribed to text. With the transcribed text, we’ll use ML Kit’s Prompt API to identify which trip activity is associated with the recorded voice note, letting users easily recap their trip as they scroll through the trip’s itinerary.</p><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnAm4XPVEJkfPmRFKJWh2sS-4rVz_eFollYxU5DWb7kAkSQdP4xhAEosziS_vpxv6yoAkvHiSp6SGYOp2_qp_cJWgfbJGnDOadaMP6Bc30a6rYnSP34sEubNAWXqsmd3cpYOoL8rCUhQn0_4GT3165aSFinlnHZjVnXYNYBAw8AdVtJpuRG2gDbi-uRII/s2499/Screenshot_20260702_115529.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="2499" data-original-width="1183" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnAm4XPVEJkfPmRFKJWh2sS-4rVz_eFollYxU5DWb7kAkSQdP4xhAEosziS_vpxv6yoAkvHiSp6SGYOp2_qp_cJWgfbJGnDOadaMP6Bc30a6rYnSP34sEubNAWXqsmd3cpYOoL8rCUhQn0_4GT3165aSFinlnHZjVnXYNYBAw8AdVtJpuRG2gDbi-uRII/w189-h400/Screenshot_20260702_115529.png" width="189"></a></div>

<p><em>The Roman holiday itinerary shows voice note extracts.</em></p>

<p>The <a href="https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai/speech-recognition/android">ML Kit GenAI Speech Recognition API </a>allows you to transcribe audio content to text fully on-device using two distinct modes. <b>Basic mode</b> uses a traditional on-device speech recognition model and is available on most Android devices with API level 31 and higher. <b>Advanced mode</b> uses Gemini Nano to offer broader language coverage and better quality, and is currently supported on Pixel 10 devices.</p>

<p>For our feature we combine the Speech Recognition API with the ML Kit GenAI Prompt API:</p>

<pre><code>// implementation("com.google.mlkit:genai-prompt:1.0.0-beta3")
// implementation("com.google.mlkit:genai-speech-recognition:1.0.0-alpha1")

val tripEvents = ... 

// Set up speech recognition
val speechRecognizerOptions =
    speechRecognizerOptions {
        locale = Locale.US
        preferredMode = SpeechRecognizerOptions.Mode.MODE_ADVANCED
    }
val speechRecognizer: SpeechRecognizer = SpeechRecognition.getClient(speechRecognizerOptions)

suspend fun transcribeVoiceNote(recognizer: SpeechRecognizer) {
    // Display partial text as the user is recording audio
    var partialTextResponse = ""

    // Display the full text once user is finished recording audio
    var transcription = ""

    val request: SpeechRecognizerRequest
        = speechRecognizerRequest { audioSource = AudioSource.fromMic() }
    recognizer.startRecognition(request).collect { response -&gt;
        when (response) {
            is SpeechRecognizerResponse.PartialTextResponse -&gt; {
                partialTextResponse = response.text
            }
            is SpeechRecognizerResponse.FinalTextResponse -&gt; {
                transcription = response.text
                processAndCategorizeVoiceNote(transcription, tripEvents)
            }
        }
    }
}

fun processAndCategorizeVoiceNote(transcribedVoiceNote: String, events: List<event>) {
    val prompt = "Given the voice note $transcribedVoiceNote
     and the following events for this trip: $events, rewrite this transcription
     to remove filler words. Then, identify which events from the
     list this rewritten transcription matches to."

     // Utilize ML Kit's Prompt API to process voice note and tag it with the relevant trip activities
     Generation.getClient().generateContent(prompt)
}</event></code></pre>

In our <a href="http://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/07/android-on-device-inference.html">previous post</a> we explored how to build intelligent on-device features using Gemini Nano through ML Kit's Prompt API.</p>

<p>In this post, we will look at how you can leverage <b><a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic">Firebase AI Logic</a> </b>to build cloud-hosted and hybrid AI features: </p>
<ul>
  <li>Grounding answers in real-world context</li>

<div>
  
  
</div><p><br></p><p>Sometimes a use case requires AI models with greater world knowledge, a much larger context window, or the ability to handle complex queries. In those scenarios, we can leverage cloud models. </p>

<p>Other times, you want the best of both worlds: using hybrid inference to run on-device when available to lower costs, while falling back to the cloud to ensure compatibility for all devices.</p><br><div class="separator"><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwlTUF1Kzkbrf2w64KO3jZJZZ_wLEu34vq6Cb7PX2alVUhFVdbkiWuXCkzUS-bPJkHMbmuNJ_Ov0HYZzujr69jCU9gPvmKaKMZt2q4-TolSDFCLABBIY1IBRY9Zn7D5S10hFcJD2kuVCm3N2glpqDJoHiqAZat4z6oyXxxwH4ZCGVBgfPObMevoJrgNPg/s8000/features_upscaled.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="4744" data-original-width="8000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwlTUF1Kzkbrf2w64KO3jZJZZ_wLEu34vq6Cb7PX2alVUhFVdbkiWuXCkzUS-bPJkHMbmuNJ_Ov0HYZzujr69jCU9gPvmKaKMZt2q4-TolSDFCLABBIY1IBRY9Zn7D5S10hFcJD2kuVCm3N2glpqDJoHiqAZat4z6oyXxxwH4ZCGVBgfPObMevoJrgNPg/s1600/features_upscaled.png"></a></div><em>Cloud and hybrid features in Jetpacker: Museum assistant with web grounding, hybrid restaurant review drafting, and 
  support chat featuring custom-routed live translation.</em></div>

<p>Let’s look at how we implemented three cloud and hybrid features in <a href="https://github.com/android/ai-samples/tree/main/jetpacker" target="_blank">Jetpacker</a>:</p>
<ul>
  <li>a museum assistant with web grounding</li>
  <li>hybrid restaurant review drafting</li>
  <li>hotel support chat featuring custom-routed live translation.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Use LLM grounding for up-to-date informationMuseum assistant chatbot with LLM grounding</h2>
<p>The <b>Museum assistant </b>is an interactive chatbot designed to help users plan their museum visits. It provides visitors with up-to-date details regarding specific exhibits, current opening hours, ticket pricing, and more.</p><br><div class="separator"><em><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3pxeCVJfOo5G7McNB4RCIhoCUch8CHSAWI7gHijJJcE95b0gbu3lyAO1xIWc6mKllkpylSPBnVfU6RYnwfay4z6dH7TlufPuNw3Lw7s-bEuR4Ajx8IHK8k6zJcOHitqMRdDv8EVL-fCN6uuDo1QTnOgk_RW-AEM1_hZaJWbCGezMQF_D9Hia-Rm2T4-c/s4880/museum_assistant_upscaled.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="4880" data-original-width="2392" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3pxeCVJfOo5G7McNB4RCIhoCUch8CHSAWI7gHijJJcE95b0gbu3lyAO1xIWc6mKllkpylSPBnVfU6RYnwfay4z6dH7TlufPuNw3Lw7s-bEuR4Ajx8IHK8k6zJcOHitqMRdDv8EVL-fCN6uuDo1QTnOgk_RW-AEM1_hZaJWbCGezMQF_D9Hia-Rm2T4-c/w314-h640/museum_assistant_upscaled.png" width="314"></a></div>Museum assistant is a chatbot that answers questions, such as </em></div><div class="separator"><em>‘How can I get a ticket discount for Le Louvre?’</em></div>

<p>When building AI features, getting the model to answer with fresh, accurate, and specific real-world information is a common challenge. While cloud models possess massive amounts of world knowledge, they might not know about seasonal exhibits or the current day’s opening hours. </p><div class="separator"><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8He5M2JC5EwXZwa-M52UAXHSO4dWy4gx3aZoY2ZXM-x25pV4kc6BsICe_fG4Zn6-R37_UgTQ8LBSsrNcP50e3aQLgxNbHOfWLBqzaSqQ78ZDmNEJadZNc-I5bduHr0UtWOxYMTFAHgffxcuzaETHPe3lvfRod2rkeOUXnRaLJ_vIiAfO_xRKpESbX3L8/s8000/grounding_upscaled.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="4452" data-original-width="8000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8He5M2JC5EwXZwa-M52UAXHSO4dWy4gx3aZoY2ZXM-x25pV4kc6BsICe_fG4Zn6-R37_UgTQ8LBSsrNcP50e3aQLgxNbHOfWLBqzaSqQ78ZDmNEJadZNc-I5bduHr0UtWOxYMTFAHgffxcuzaETHPe3lvfRod2rkeOUXnRaLJ_vIiAfO_xRKpESbX3L8/s1600/grounding_upscaled.png"></a></div><br><em><br>Grounding data is added to the context window to enable the model</em></div><div class="separator"><em> to answer questions correctly and accurately.</em></div>

<p>To bridge this gap, we can use grounding techniques to add extra context to the model’s context window. The <a href="https://firebase.google.com/products/firebase-ai-logic" target="_blank">Firebase AI Logic SDK</a> supports three types of grounding:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong><a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/url-context">URL grounding</a>:</strong> Grounding responses using content from a specific webpage (e.g. current ticket prices or museum rules).</li>
  <li><strong><a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/grounding-google-search">Google Search grounding</a>:</strong> Letting the model query the real-time Google search index for up-to-date details.</li>
  <li><strong><a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/grounding-google-maps">Maps grounding</a>:</strong> Using Google Maps location data.</li>
</ul>

<p>In Jetpacker, we dynamically construct the available tools based on enabled feature flags and initialize the generative model using the Firebase AI SDK:</p>

<pre><code>// implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-ai-logic")

private var toolList = mutableListOf&lt;Tool&gt;()

init {
    if (ENABLE_SEARCH_GROUNDING) {
        toolList.add(Tool.googleSearch())
    }
    if (ENABLE_URL_GROUNDING) {
        toolList.add(Tool.urlContext())
    }
}

private val generativeModel = Firebase.ai(backend = GenerativeBackend.googleAI())
    .generativeModel(
        modelName = "gemini-3-flash",
        systemInstruction = content {
            text("You are a helpful museum assistant answering questions about a museum. Use plain text.")
        },
        tools = toolList
    )</code></pre>

<p>When the user queries the assistant, if URL grounding is enabled, we append the specific museum resource URLs directly into the prompt:</p>

<pre><code>val groundingText = if (FeatureFlags.ENABLE_URL_GROUNDING) {
    "\n If the following message above is about the rules and terms to visit Le Louvre, " +
    "if needed answer this urls ${urlList.joinToString()}"
} else {
    ""
}

val prompt = "$text $groundingText"

var response = chat.sendMessage(prompt)
</code></pre>

<h2>Hybrid inference: On-device review generation with Maps deep link</h2>
<p>Not every AI task requires a cloud-based model, and not every device is online. To help developers balance latency, cost, and offline availability, we recently introduced the <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/ai-logic/hybrid/android/get-started?api=dev">Firebase API for Hybrid Inference</a>.</p>

<p>In Jetpacker, the <b>restaurant review</b> feature lets users review select topics and automatically drafts a review. To enable this for all users, we prioritize local execution with Gemini Nano, and fall back to cloud models on devices that don’t support Gemini Nano. </p><div class="separator"><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVa1o2Zh3v3Babi7gGmzOFYAKPEgS0HWmvisiKgK-QsSRh_ZhjTjuUYSS_QIH0JQw9NsqrkYe4Quud6cfCGwVc61_7HKcACj6c9yywWySn5xyHGgemBR5tYPP8q3bmLadaN6uLXspE9LqrcZkVdckEGHWDhdfYVa-xo8QomDaRn03mau2fHVyK0Fr1FaU/s4680/review_upscaled.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="4680" data-original-width="2392" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVa1o2Zh3v3Babi7gGmzOFYAKPEgS0HWmvisiKgK-QsSRh_ZhjTjuUYSS_QIH0JQw9NsqrkYe4Quud6cfCGwVc61_7HKcACj6c9yywWySn5xyHGgemBR5tYPP8q3bmLadaN6uLXspE9LqrcZkVdckEGHWDhdfYVa-xo8QomDaRn03mau2fHVyK0Fr1FaU/w327-h640/review_upscaled.png" width="327"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator"><em>The restaurant review feature uses hybrid inference to draft a review based on topics</em></div><div class="separator"><em><br></em></div>

<pre><code>// implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-ai-logic")
// implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-ai-ondevice:16.0.0-beta03")


// Initialize the model with hybrid routing configuration
val reviewModel = Firebase.ai.generativeModel(
    modelName = "gemini-3.1-flash-lite",
    onDeviceConfig = OnDeviceConfig(
        inferenceMode = InferenceMode.PREFER_ON_DEVICE
    )
)</code></pre>

<p>The Hybrid Inference API supports four distinct routing modes:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>PREFER_ON_DEVICE:</strong> Prioritizes local execution and falls back to cloud if Gemini Nano is unavailable.</li>
  <li><strong>PREFER_IN_CLOUD:</strong> Prioritizes cloud execution and falls back to on-device if the device goes offline.</li>
  <li><strong>ONLY_ON_DEVICE:</strong> Restricts execution strictly to the device.</li>
  <li><strong>ONLY_IN_CLOUD:</strong> Restricts execution strictly to the cloud.</li>
</ul>

<p>Once the review is generated, we copy it to the clipboard and use an intent to open Google Maps directly to the restaurant's review page, providing a seamless user experience:</p>

<pre><code>private fun copyAndOpenMapsReview(context: Context, reviewText: String, placeId: String) {
    val clipboard = context.getSystemService(Context.CLIPBOARD_SERVICE) as ClipboardManager
    val clip = ClipData.newPlainText("User Review", reviewText)
    clipboard.setPrimaryClip(clip)

    val uri = Uri.parse("https://search.google.com/local/writereview/mobile?placeid=$placeId")
    val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri).apply {
        setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps")
    }
    context.startActivity(intent)
}</code></pre>

<h2>Custom hybrid routing: Hotel support chat translation with simulated personas</h2>
<p>The <b>hotel support chat</b> was built to let users finalize logistics and check on hotel details. This feature uses system instructions to configure a localized receptionist assistant. By passing specific information—such as the preferred language and hotel information—in the instructions, we can set up a conversational persona representing a specific hotel.</p>

<pre><code>private val generativeModel = Firebase.ai(backend = GenerativeBackend.googleAI())
    .generativeModel(
        systemInstruction = content {
            text("""
              You are a helpful hotel receptionist at $hotelName only speaking $language. 
              Answer politely in $language. The bar closes at 10pm and breakfast is from 7am to 10am.
              There's someone at the desk 24/7. You can retrieve your luggage from the storage room 
              at the back of the lobby at any time.
              """)
        },
        modelName = "gemini-3-flash-preview"
    )</code></pre>

<p>Because receptionist responses are in the hotel's local language (for example, French for Hotel Le Meurice in Paris), we need to translate messages to the user’s preferred language. </p><div class="separator"><em><br><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikIB_NnUYK8GnEpI3foNLO2_AQ2lNZhoc9gFB-CjERDjMwrdQ2T45y6jzrJAafi4Jz7eF_SBkXG7csDwpajKctp5yo1hsBjIacIfK3aHvvQjCUu22qZBj7dLl5Q4aGFJRD4hwTlMMNgZD8sIuYpCrRjMmpa5ybXDzi9nkTMZoiJOEn8jLmqBsgTXcVTDY/s4112/translation_upscaled.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="2364" data-original-width="4112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikIB_NnUYK8GnEpI3foNLO2_AQ2lNZhoc9gFB-CjERDjMwrdQ2T45y6jzrJAafi4Jz7eF_SBkXG7csDwpajKctp5yo1hsBjIacIfK3aHvvQjCUu22qZBj7dLl5Q4aGFJRD4hwTlMMNgZD8sIuYpCrRjMmpa5ybXDzi9nkTMZoiJOEn8jLmqBsgTXcVTDY/s1600/translation_upscaled.png"></a></div><div class="separator"><em>Hotel support chat messages are automatically translated to the user’s preferred language </em></div></em></div>

<p>While hybrid models can configure simple routing preferences, complex scenarios require custom routing logic. In Jetpacker, we implement a custom routing stack that takes into account:</p>
<ul>
  <li><strong>Language identification:</strong> Using the on-device <a href="https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/language/identification/android">ML Kit Language Identification API</a>, we can detect the incoming message language.</li>
  <li><strong>On-device translation (Gemini Nano):</strong> <a href="https://developers.google.com/ml-kit/genai/prompt/android">ML Kit’s Prompt API</a> lets us translate common language pairs directly on the device, saving bandwidth and cloud cost.</li>
  <li><strong>Cloud translation (Gemini 3 Flash):</strong> For more complex languages, we use Gemini Flash 3 to get a higher quality translation.</li>
</ul>

<pre><code>// implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-language-id:17.0.0") 

// ML Kit for Language Identification (powered by Google Play Services)
private val languageIdentifier = LanguageIdentification.getClient()

// On-device translator model (prefer Gemini Nano) for translating common language pairs
private val hybridTranslationModel = Firebase.ai(backend = GenerativeBackend.googleAI())
    .generativeModel(
        modelName = "gemini-3-flash",
        onDeviceConfig = OnDeviceConfig(mode = InferenceMode.PREFER_ON_DEVICE)
    )

// Cloud translator model for more complex language pairs
private val cloudTranslationModel = Firebase.ai(backend = GenerativeBackend.googleAI())
    .generativeModel(
        modelName = "gemini-3-flash"
    )</code></pre>

<p>When a message needs to be translated, we identify the source language and apply our custom routing logic, executing either on-device or cloud translation:</p>

<pre><code>fun translateMessage(message: SupportChatMessage) {
    viewModelScope.launch {
        // 1. Detect language using ML Kit Language Identification
        val sourceLang = try {
            Tasks.await(languageIdentifier.identifyLanguage(message.text))
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            "Undefined"
        }

        // 2. Custom routing: we've verified the translation quality for English and Korean with Gemini Nano, and will translate message on-device for those two languages
        val routeToCloud = sourceLang != "en" &amp;&amp; sourceLang != "kr"

        val prompt = "Translate the following text to $selectedLanguage. Just return the translated sentence: ${message.text}."

        val (translatedText, routePrefix) = if (routeToCloud) {
            val result = cloudTranslationModel.generateContent(prompt)
            result.text to "[Cloud]"
        } else {
            val result = hybridTranslationModel.generateContent(prompt)
            result.text to "[On-Device]"
        }

        if (translatedText != null) {
            _translations.update { current -&gt;
                current + (message.id to "$routePrefix: $translatedText")
            }
        }
    }
}</code></pre>

<p>In this example, the custom routing logic only takes into consideration the translation’s source and target language. However, based on your app’s use case, you can expand the routing logic to include other factors such as the on-device model version, network connectivity, battery status, and more.</p>

<h2>Securing the AI Pipelines: Firebase App Check</h2>
<p>Lastly, using AI in the cloud opens up possibilities of API key abuse or unauthorized billing. To secure API calls, we integrated <a href="https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-check"><b>Firebase App Check</b></a> using both Play Integrity (production) and the local Debug Provider (for local development or emulators).</p>

<p>In the <a href="https://github.com/android/ai-samples/blob/main/jetpacker/android/app/src/main/kotlin/com/example/jetpacker/JetPackerApplication.kt">JetPackerApplication.kt</a> file, we install the debug provider at startup and trigger anonymous authentication to establish a secure user session:</p>

<pre><code>//  implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-appcheck-playintegrity") 
//  implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-appcheck-debug")  
//  implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-auth") 

override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    Firebase.initialize(context = this)
    Firebase.appCheck.installAppCheckProviderFactory(
        DebugAppCheckProviderFactory.getInstance()
    )
    Firebase.auth.signInAnonymously()
}</code></pre>

<p>When building locally on an emulator, App Check prints a local token secret to logcat:</p>

<p>Enter this debug secret into the allow list in the Firebase Console: a8c2dd4c-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-ef6c114ba27e</p>

<p>Once registered in the Firebase console, local requests are fully verified and authenticated by App Check, protecting our backend while letting us test the app locally.</p>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>By combining cloud model capabilities (grounding, system instructions) with on-device capabilities (hybrid routing, translation, security app checks), we created a travel app that is smart, secure, and available offline.</p>

For developers, this means that the variety of form factors, screen sizes, and device postures your app needs to support is expanding once again.</p>

<p>With devices like the Galaxy Z Fold8, the ecosystem is expanding to include hardware with a landscape-first natural orientation and a wider aspect ratio in its main display state. Whether a user is unfolding a large display, flipping open a cover screen, or glancing at their wrist, users expect a flawless experience. To help you meet this moment, we’re sharing actionable guidance and new tooling updates to enable you to build adaptively proactively.</p>

<div class="separator">
  </div>

<h2>Rethink layout architecture for dynamic displays, including ultra-wide foldables</h2>

<p>Building for the latest foldables means dropping assumptions about display orientation and size. This is especially true for the Galaxy Z Fold8, which adopts an ultra-wide display, adding to the variety of aspect ratios to account for.  Devices with this landscape-first natural orientation show the limitations of hardcoded layout rules when users unfold the device. That’s why we’ve introduced <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/adaptive-apps/guides/foldables/trifolds-and-landscape-foldables" target="_blank">dedicated guidance for building for landscape foldables and trifolds.</a></p><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdDMq9mmhR2NzEVD5cgQgT3Y5DgMZOV5FrjsJb-wSiZVvJjIiDQuUkfv0cjBHQMREjOKPqz9n6wPf-x5Hn6H7uT2_JiXA3Nykcr1UwnwDRK9jGFurhTRKR-5t1BN62ISXFznXhQ_e-03Mo6uIh5-BDVmNbA1Q4RY9rSg4VxBO0K6E6Dc4kViNpvuYefY/s1302/Samsung%20fold8%20phones.png"><img border="0" data-original-height="442" data-original-width="1302" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdDMq9mmhR2NzEVD5cgQgT3Y5DgMZOV5FrjsJb-wSiZVvJjIiDQuUkfv0cjBHQMREjOKPqz9n6wPf-x5Hn6H7uT2_JiXA3Nykcr1UwnwDRK9jGFurhTRKR-5t1BN62ISXFznXhQ_e-03Mo6uIh5-BDVmNbA1Q4RY9rSg4VxBO0K6E6Dc4kViNpvuYefY/s1600/Samsung%20fold8%20phones.png"></a></div><br><p>To build a responsive UI that handles these physics seamlessly, focus on the following core pillars:</p>

<p></p><ul><li><b>Build fluid, adaptive layouts: </b>Wide aspect ratios and compact vertical heights require fluid UIs that scale responsively. Our updated <a href="https://developer.android.com/design/ui/mobile/guides/layout-and-content/adapt-layout" target="_blank">adaptive design guidance</a> advises considering the window class width first to determine layout changes, then adjusting for height. To let individual components fluidly adapt to the grid, structure your layout using flexible containers that allow your content to automatically wrap, span, and reflow. For design inspiration browse our <a href="https://developer.android.com/design/ui/gallery/social/pawparazzi" target="_blank">adaptive sample app</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/design/ui/gallery/social/dual-screen?hl=en" target="_blank">dual-screen</a> design galleries.</li><li><b>Track actual app space:</b> Your app's display space rarely matches the physical device size, especially on an ultra-wide screen during multi-window, split-screen, or multitasking states. Sometimes even the orientations differ. Leverage <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/adaptive-apps/guides/use-window-size-classes?hl=en" target="_blank">Window Size Classes</a> using the <a href="https://developer.android.com/blog/posts/jetpack-window-manager-1-5-is-stable" target="_blank">Jetpack Window Manager library</a> to calculate the exact space your app occupies.</li></ul><div><br></div>
  
<div class="separator">
  </div></div><div class="separator"><br></div><div class="separator"><div class="separator"><ul><li><b>Leverage the latest Jetpack Compose Update: </b>Start by adopting the stable <a href="https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/04/jetpack-compose-april-2026-updates.html" target="_blank">Jetpack Compose April '26 release</a> (<a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/bom" target="_blank">Compose BOM</a> version <code>2026.04.01</code>).Take advantage of the new structural layout tools to manage complex architectures. The new <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/grid" target="_blank">Grid</a> API allows you to define dynamic tracks and column spans without the performance overhead of a lazy list. Pair Grid with the new <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/flexbox" target="_blank">FlexBox</a> layout API to easily handle multi-axis alignment and dynamic item wrapping. You can also use the new <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/compose/layouts/adaptive/mediaquery" target="_blank">MediaQuery</a> API to adapt your UI to its environment, using conditions to detect signals like device posture, window size, and keyboard types. </li><li><b>Make your app fold aware: </b>Use the Jetpack WindowManager library, which provides an API surface for foldable device window features such as folds and hinges. When your app is<a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/adaptive-apps/guides/foldables/make-your-app-fold-aware" target="_blank"> fold aware</a>, it can adapt its layout to avoid placing important content in the area of folds or hinges and use folds and hinges as natural separators.</li><li><b>Maintain app continuity:</b> Avoid breaking the user journey when the device configuration shifts. Retain your UI state using <a href="https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/viewmodel?hl=en" target="_blank">ViewModel</a> to ensure smooth transitions when a user folds or unfolds their device.</li></ul><div class="separator"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdxp09YbiUc9EzTGhIJ2fcoV67rLKb6Sm9UOVCISO4Xa0VVVnFUJG9PXSAYCq7gnHILLx8xoIx-L2C0blhugbADUa3nM0AOx8UQzGImu194B94Kt-CKAuK1CrGHUz10fBFs02Lmly-HO-fmBHFuZ9knuYRb6EP9v4-SpR7Ja-oeJZErJDUVEgEje0d7J8/s1920/7.22_MorphToTablet_Gif.gif"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdxp09YbiUc9EzTGhIJ2fcoV67rLKb6Sm9UOVCISO4Xa0VVVnFUJG9PXSAYCq7gnHILLx8xoIx-L2C0blhugbADUa3nM0AOx8UQzGImu194B94Kt-CKAuK1CrGHUz10fBFs02Lmly-HO-fmBHFuZ9knuYRb6EP9v4-SpR7Ja-oeJZErJDUVEgEje0d7J8/w640-h360/7.22_MorphToTablet_Gif.gif" width="640"></a></div><div><h2>Ensure seamless camera capture on foldable devices</h2><div>Camera implementation on foldables brings unique hardware quirks. Moving from a compact outer display to an expanded inner display introduces distinct layout aspect ratios while device rotation remains unchanged. If an app assumes a fixed portrait relationship between the camera sensor and the device layout, the app will likely suffer from sideways, stretched, or cropped previews during these folding transitions.</div><div> </div><div>When optimizing your app's media pipeline, migrate your capture experiences to <a href="https://developer.android.com/media/camera/camerax" target="_blank">CameraX</a> using the CameraX migration <a href="https://github.com/android/skills/blob/main/camera/camerax/SKILL.md">skill</a>. The library’s <a href="https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/camera/view/PreviewView" target="_blank">PreviewView</a> automatically handles sensor orientation, device rotation, and scaling behind the scenes. This guarantees a clean, stable preview regardless of how the user holds or positions the device. If you are maintaining an existing Camera2 codebase, integrate the <a href="https://developer.android.com/develop/adaptive-apps/guides/foldables/trifolds-and-landscape-foldables#solution_2_cameraviewfinder" target="_blank">CameraViewfinder</a> library to apply these complex aspect ratio and rotation transformations automatically without needing a total architecture overhaul.</div></div><h2>Extend glanceable interactions to Wear OS 7</h2><div>The opportunity to build for this new generation of devices extends right to the wrist. Launching with Wear OS 7, Wear Widgets give you a fresh surface to provide users with instant, glanceable access to their essential updates. You can build these highly expressive experiences using <a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/glance-wear" target="_blank">Jetpack Glance</a> and <a href="https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/compose-remote" target="_blank">RemoteCompose</a>. Crucially, Widgets built with this framework can now populate multi-widget tiles that were previously reserved for first-party widgets. </div><div><br></div>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[BrianFagioli writes: The Linux Foundation has announced Akrites, a new initiative to coordinate vulnerability disclosure and remediation for critical open source software as AI dramatically speeds up vulnerability discovery. Founding members include AWS, Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Red Hat, NVIDIA, IBM, Cisco, JPMorganChase, and others. Akrites will provide a shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT), a standardized coordinated vulnerability disclosure process, and act as a "maintainer of last resort" for abandoned but widely used packages.
 
The goal is to reduce duplicate reports, avoid conflicting patches, and help upstream maintainers address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. As AI makes it easier to find security flaws, can a coordinated industry effort help protect open source, or does it risk giving large corporations too much influence over the ecosystem? "Akrites is the largest coordinated effort in history to create systems and deploy tooling that leverages the collective power of the community to make everyone safer," the Linux Foundation said in an open letter. "Akrites participants will contribute engineering resources; work to build and ship fixes; or fund the engineers who do. Some companies have contributed mightily already. The reality is, collectively, we need to contribute more."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA["Git and email are the two really only tools I use," Linus Torvalds said at Open Source Summit India 2026. But ZDNet reports that he also shared his thoughts on Rust, C, and patch-checking tools:



"I use Google as a way to look things up." He added, "I'm unusual; most of the other maintainers end up using many more tools, and I think a lot of them are starting to use AI tools for patch checking," while he "works at a higher level. I work with people, not tools." 

When asked about Rust both in Git and the kernel, he pushed back against hype: "I'm not sure Rust is going to take over the world. I still think Rust is very interesting, [but] I still find C to be a much simpler tool." Torvalds continued, "I'm much more excited about all the tools we have for verification of C," including "automated patch verification tools" and "automated email checking tools for patches like Sashiko." Summing up, Torvalds told the Mumbai audience: "I'm more of a hack-and-slash kind of person, and I still like the raw and simple power of C, and I don't think that's going to change." 

Torvalds also warned against overestimating Rust's benefits: "Rust fixes a few easy bugs that you can make in C, but it does not fix the logic errors, right? It does not think for you, and when you write incorrect code, the language does not matter. The end result will be incorrect." On mixed C/Rust code bases, he pointed out that guarantees are limited: "The guarantees that Rust give you only apply in the Rust-only parts of your code base, and wherever you interact with C code, all bets are off," with most Rust code in Linux talking to "core kernel C code" that is "much better quality... because that code has been tested in every single environment." 

At the same time, Torvalds pointed out, "some of our big and more high-profile bugs in the kernel lately have been logic errors" rather than the kind of memory errors Rust prevents. 

"It was just bad programming, which sadly happens even in carefully maintained subsystems and important kernels that are supposed to be very secure."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[ZDNet reports on June's Open Source Summit India 2026 in Mumbai, where Linux stable kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman gave a talk titled "Rust and Linux: How the Rust Language is Going to Help Linux Succeed."




 Kroah-Hartman said in his keynote that "the [Linux] kernel is moving toward Rust. Git is moving toward Rust. Lots of projects are starting to move toward Rust."
 

He didn't always feel that way. Kroah-Hartman added, "A number of years ago, when a friend of mine said, 'Ah, you got to try this new language. It's called Rust.' I was like, 'What? No, C is great.' His friend continued, "'No, no, no! It makes programming fun again.' I'm like, 'Nah, programming is fun in C.' He was right. I should have done it then. Rust is actually fun. It makes programming fun. It takes a lot of stuff away from having to worry about the compiler, which can fix a lot of your problems for you, and it makes code a little bit better." 

So, Kroah-Hartman has moved from being a Rust skeptic to one of its strongest champions inside the kernel. He now regards Rust as a permanent part of Linux, not an experiment. His case is straightforward: Rust's ownership and type system can eliminate most of the "stupid little tiny things" that dominate kernel Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), while making life easier for overworked maintainers. "Rust," in short, "makes my life so much easier...." In India, he said Linux sees "about 13 CVEs a day" and has been running at "almost nine changes an hour" for a decade or more. Most of those vulnerabilities, he argued, are not exotic attacks but simple C mistakes — unchecked pointers, forgotten unlocks, and sloppy cleanup paths: "This is what we're fixing 13 times a day. Small, trivial, little bugs like this all the time.... I've seen every CVE the kernel has done in the past 25 years. I think 80% would be gone, just because they would be caught by Rust." The remaining 20% are the logic bugs he'd prefer to focus on...." 

 Moreover, Rust is becoming the default for new work in key subsystems. "New drivers for some subsystems are only going to be accepted in Rust...." he said. Binder, the Android IPC mechanism at the heart of billions of devices, now has parallel C and Rust implementations in the kernel. The C version "will go away soon," leaving the Rust version "as the bedrock of all Android devices going forward."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p>Its purpose is to provide network defenders with the tools needed to defend against China-nexus cyber actors and their tactic of using large scale networks of compromised devices (covert networks) to route their cyber activity. </p>
<h3><strong>Introduction  </strong></h3>
<p>Over the past few years there has been a major shift in the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by China-nexus cyber actors, moving away from the use of individually procured infrastructure, and towards the use of externally provisioned, large-scale networks of compromised devices. </p>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW149482171 BCX8">
<p>The NCSC believes that the majority of China-nexus threat actors are using these networks (hereafter “covert networks”), that multiple covert networks have been created and are being constantly updated, and that a single covert network could be being used by multiple actors. These networks are mainly made up of compromised Small Office Home Office (SOHO) routers, as well as Internet of Things (IoT) and smart devices. </p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW149482171 BCX8">
<p>Anyone who is a target of China-nexus cyber actors may be impacted by the use of covert networks. They have been <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/ncsc-and-partners-issue-warning-about-state-sponsored-cyber-attackers-hiding-on-critical-infrastructure-networks" target="_blank"><u>used by Chinese state-sponsored actors Volt Typhoon</u></a> to pre-position offensive cyber capabilities on critical national infrastructure. The group <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/ncsc-and-partners-issue-advice-to-counter-china-linked-campaign-targeting-thousands-of-devices" target="_blank"><u>Flax Typhoon used a different covert network</u></a> of compromised infrastructure to conduct cyber espionage. </p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW149482171 BCX8">
<p>The use of covert networks of compromised devices - also known as botnets - to facilitate malicious cyber activity is not new, but China-nexus cyber actors are now using them strategically, and at scale.  </p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW149482171 BCX8">
<p>This advisory describes the typical makeup of a covert network and what they are being used for. It also includes protective advice for organizations being targeted by cyber activity using a covert network as an access vector.</p>
<h3><strong>Covert Networks </strong></h3>
<p>Covert networks are used to connect across the internet in a low-cost, low-risk, deniable way, disguising the origin and attribution of malicious activity. Actors have been observed using them for each phase of their Cyber Kill Chains, from performing scans as part of reconnaissance, to the delivery of malware, communicating with said malware, and exfiltrating stolen data from a victim. They can also be used for general deniable internet browsing, allowing threat actors to research exploitation techniques, new TTPs, and their victims without attribution. Some covert networks are also used by legitimate customers to browse the internet, making it challenging to attribute malicious activity. </p>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW53561783 BCX8">
<p>There is evidence that covert networks used by China-nexus actors are created and maintained by Chinese information security companies. A network known to network defenders as Raptor Train, which in 2024 infected more than 200,000 devices worldwide, was controlled and managed by the Chinese company, Integrity Technology Group. This company was also <a href="https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/court-authorized-operation-disrupts-worldwide-botnet-used-peoples-republic-china-state" target="_blank"><u>assessed by the FBI</u></a> to be responsible for the computer intrusion activities attributed to China-based hackers known as Flax Typhoon. </p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW53561783 BCX8">
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Botnet operations represent a significant threat to the UK by exploiting vulnerabilities in everyday internet-connected devices with the potential to carry out large-scale cyber attacks – NCSC Director of Operations, Paul Chichester </strong></p>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW53561783 BCX8">
<p>Covert networks mostly consist of compromised SOHO routers, but they also pull in any vulnerable device they can exploit at scale. Raptor Train was made up of thousands of SOHO routers and IoT devices, such as web cameras and video recorders, as well as firewalls and Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices. The KV Botnet used by Volt Typhoon <a href="https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/us-government-disrupts-botnet-peoples-republic-china-used-conceal-hacking-critical" target="_blank"><u>was mainly made up of vulnerable Cisco and NetGear routers</u></a>. The edge devices were vulnerable because they were “end of life” – out of date and no longer receiving updates or security patches by their manufacturers. </p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW53561783 BCX8">
<p>The cyber security industry has been aware of examples of these networks for some time and has publicly reported on the widespread scale of the threat and its implications. Mandiant Intelligence produced a <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/china-nexus-espionage-orb-networks" target="_blank"><u>public blog in May 2024</u></a> talking about covert networks in which they highlighted a key issue for defenders – indicator of compromise (IOC) Extinction. If a particular threat group could now come from one of many covert networks, each with potentially hundreds of thousands of endpoints, and each used by multiple threat actors, old network defense paradigms of static malicious IP block lists will be less effective. This is compounded by the dynamic nature of these networks where new nodes will be added as old devices are patched or removed from use. </p>
<h3><strong>Typical Network Topology</strong></h3>
<p>The number of covert networks used by China-nexus cyber actors is large, with new networks regularly developed and deployed. The existing covert networks change too, either because of defensive or legal action, or simply as a result of software updates and new exploits being used to target different technologies for incorporation into the network. </p>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW21942648 BCX8">
<p>Because of this, a description of all known covert networks in detail, including how they are constructed and how they communicate, would immediately be out of date – and for most network defenders would not be practically useful. </p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW21942648 BCX8">
<p>However, most covert networks of compromised devices use the same basic set up. Understanding this generalized structure can aid researchers and defenders by helping them to understand which part of a network they may have found, and how to defend against it. </p>

  </figure>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW75515976 BCX8">
<p>The diagram above illustrates the basic setup of a covert network, where typically an actor will connect to the network via an on-ramp or entry node. Their traffic will be forwarded through multiple compromised devices, used as traversal nodes, before exiting the network from an exit node, usually in the same geographic region as the target. </p>
<h3><strong>Protective Advice </strong></h3>
<p>Defending from attackers using covert networks is not straightforward, and defensive tactics will be different based on the levels of resource and the nature of the target organization. General advice for good cyber security practice should be followed, and some key messages can be found in the appendix of this advisory.  </p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW75515976 BCX8">
<p>The following advice is specifically tailored to steps which can be taken to combat the risk of attacks coming from large, dynamic networks of compromised devices. </p>
</div>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW75515976 BCX8">
<p>Further guidance for all organizations facing cyber security threats is available on the NCSC website. </p>
<p><em>This guidance should be considered alongside all applicable laws and regulations of the UK and co-sealing countries relating to the security of networks and data. It will be each organization’s responsibility to ensure compliance with any such laws and regulations. Organizations should note that following the recommended actions set out below will not remove all risks.</em></p>
<h4><strong>All organizations</strong></h4>
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW75515976 BCX8">
<p>The NCSC recommends the following steps for all affected organizations to either take themselves, or ask their managed service and/or security providers to investigate for them: </p>
<ul>
<li>Map and understand network edge devices, developing a clear understanding of organizational assets and what should be connecting to them.</li>
<li>Baseline normal connections, especially to corporate virtual private networks (VPNs) or other similar services.
<ul>
<li>Would you expect connections from consumer broadband ranges?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Leverage available dynamic threat feeds which include covert network infrastructure.</li>
<li>Implement multifactor authentication for remote connections.</li>
</ul>
<p>Smaller organizations should consider creating and actioning a <a href="https://cybertoolkit.service.ncsc.gov.uk/" target="_blank"><u>free NCSC Cyber Action Toolkit</u></a>. </p>
<h4><strong>Larger or more at-risk organizations</strong></h4>
<div class="SCXW242856196 BCX8">
<div class="OutlineElement Ltr SCXW242856196 BCX8">
<p>Some more comprehensive measures may be appropriate if the risk to an organization is high enough, to be conducted either in-house or through a security provider:  </p>
<ul>
<li>Apply IP address allow lists rather than deny lists for connections to corporate VPNs for remote workers.</li>
<li>Use geographic allow lists or profile incoming connections based on operating system, time zones, and/or organization specific system configuration settings.</li>
<li>Implement zero trust policies for connections.</li>
<li>Enforce machine certificates for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections.</li>
<li>Reduce the internet-facing presence of the IT estate.</li>
<li>Investigate machine learning techniques to profile normal network edge activity to detect and block anomalies. </li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberessentials/overview" target="_blank"><u>The NCSC's Cyber Essentials</u></a> can help protect organizations of all sizes. </p>
<h4><strong>Largest or most at-risk organizations</strong> </h4>
<p>If Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) tracking is part of an organization’s in-house capability, or if it is part of the service provided by a security vendor, consider tracking China-nexus covert networks as APTs in their own right.</p>
<ul>
<li>Active hunting – look for connections from IP addresses likely to be part of a covert network of compromised devices, for instance those hosting SOHO routers or IoT devices.</li>
<li>Track and map covert networks reported by industry or government by looking at banners and certificates.</li>
<li>Use threat reporting and threat feeds to create and implement dynamic blocklists and create alert rules to detect incoming threats.</li>
<li>Consider using NetFlow feeds to look upstream and map covert networks to find new nodes. </li>
</ul>
<p>The <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/cyber-assessment-framework" target="_blank"><u>NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework</u></a> provides guidance for organizations under the highest levels of threat, including those operating essential services, in sectors such as energy, healthcare, transport, digital infrastructure and government.  </p>

<h3> <strong>Appendix: Cyber Security Best Practices </strong></h3>
<p>In addition to the protective advice outlined in this advisory, a number of cyber security best practices will also be useful in defending against the activity described in this advisory. </p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Protect your devices and networks by keeping them up to date</strong>: use the latest supported versions, apply security updates promptly, use antivirus and scan regularly to guard against known malware threats. See NCSC Guidance: <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/device-security-guidance/policies-and-settings/antivirus-and-other-security-software" target="_blank"><u>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/device-security-guidance/policies-and-settings/antivirus-and-other-security-software</u></a></li>
<li><strong>Prevent and detect lateral movement in your organization’s networks</strong>. See NCSC Guidance: <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/preventing-lateral-movement" target="_blank"><u>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/preventing-lateral-movement</u></a></li>
<li><strong>Implement architectural controls for network segregation</strong>. See NCSC Guidance: <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/10-steps-network-security" target="_blank"><u>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/10-steps-network-security</u></a></li>
<li><strong>Set up a security monitoring</strong> <strong>capability</strong> so you are collecting the data that will be needed to analyze network intrusions. See NCSC Guidance: <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/introduction-logging-security-purposes" target="_blank"><u>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/introduction-logging-security-purposes</u></a> and <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/logging-made-easy" target="_blank"><u>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/logging-made-easy</u></a></li>
<li><strong>Use modern systems and software.</strong> These have better security built-in. If you cannot move off out-of-date platforms and applications straight away, there are short term steps you can take to improve your position. See NCSC Guidance:  <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/mobile-device-guidance/managing-the-risks-from-obsolete-products" target="_blank"><u>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/mobile-device-guidance/managing-the-risks-from-obsolete-products</u></a></li>
<li><strong>Restrict intruders' ability to move freely around your systems and networks</strong>. Pay particular attention to potentially vulnerable entry points such as third-party systems with onward access to your core network. During an incident, disable remote access from third-party systems until you are sure they are clean. See NCSC Guidance: <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/preventing-lateral-movement" target="_blank"><u>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/preventing-lateral-movement</u></a> and <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/assessing-supply-chain-security" target="_blank"><u>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/assessing-supply-chain-security</u></a><u>.</u></li>
<li><strong>Deploy a host-based intrusion detection system</strong>. A variety of products are available, free and paid-for, to suit different needs and budgets.</li>
<li><strong>Further information</strong>: Invest in preventing malware-based attacks across various scenarios.  See NCSC Guidance: <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/mitigating-malware-and-ransomware-attacks" target="_blank"><u>https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/mitigating-malware-and-ransomware-attacks</u></a> </li>

<h2><strong>Targeting details</strong></h2>
<p>Critical infrastructure sectors most at risk from the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) Center 16 cyber actors’ targeting include:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Communications,</li>
<li>Defense Industrial Base,</li>
<li>Energy,</li>
<li>Financial Services,</li>
<li>Government Services and Facilities, especially organizations at the state and local level, and</li>
<li>Healthcare and Public Health.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Technical details</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Note: </strong>This advisory uses the <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/matrices/enterprise/" target="_blank">MITRE ATT&amp;CK® Matrix for Enterprise</a><a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Foot12"><sup>12</sup></a> framework, version 19. See <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#AppA"><strong>Appendix A</strong></a> for tables of the activity mapped to MITRE ATT&amp;CK tactics and techniques. This advisory also uses MITRE DEFEND<sup>TM</sup> version 1.4.0.</p>
<p>The Russian FSB Center 16 cyber actors primarily use scanning to identify poorly configured networking devices, primarily routers, for exploitation. The actors scan for Internet IP ranges with active Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agents that accept common or default community strings for authentication [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1595/001/" target="_blank">T1595.001</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1595/002/" target="_blank">T1595.002</a>]. These scans, run via proxies, consist of SNMP Set-Requests from a spoofed IP address [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1027/" target="_blank">T1027</a>] containing Object Identifiers (OIDs) that instruct the SNMP agent on poorly configured networking devices to [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1569/" target="_blank">T1569</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1602/001/" target="_blank">T1602.001</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1090/" target="_blank">T1090</a>]:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Copy its configuration to a file, often called “config.bkp” or “output.txt” [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1003/" target="_blank">T1003</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1602/002/" target="_blank">T1602.002</a>].</li>
<li>Transfer the file, typically using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), to an actor-controlled leased virtual private server (VPS) or compromised FTP server [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1583/003/" target="_blank">T1583.003</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1090/" target="_blank">T1090</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1071/" target="_blank">T1071</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1048/" target="_blank">T1048</a>].</li>
</ul>
<p>While SNMP scanning is the primary method the actors use to discover and exploit poorly configured networking devices, they occasionally exploit common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) in Cisco devices, Cisco’s Smart Install (SMI) functionality, and web portals to manage network devices. The actors previously exploited at least the following CVEs [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1584/008/" target="_blank">T1584.008</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1588/005/" target="_blank">T1588.005</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1190/" target="_blank">T1190</a>, <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1068/" target="_blank">T1068</a>]: </p>
<ul type="disc">
<li><a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-0171" target="_blank">CVE-2018-0171</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2008-4128" target="_blank">CVE-2008-4128</a><a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Foot13"><sup>13</sup></a></li>
</ul>
<p>Many of these TTPs overlap with activity by other malicious cyber actors, such as <a href="https://media.defense.gov/2025/Aug/22/2003786665/-1/-1/0/CSA_COUNTERING_CHINA_STATE_ACTORS_COMPROMISE_OF_NETWORKS.PDF" target="_blank">Salt Typhoon</a>. Even though this CSA focuses on Russian FSB Center 16 cyber activity, the mitigations below should detect and counter these and similar TTPs used by other actors.</p>
<h2><strong>Mitigation actions</strong></h2>
<p>The authoring agencies highly recommend network defenders implement the following mitigations to harden networks against this exploitation:</p>
<ul>
<li>Disable Cisco Smart Install on all devices [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ApplicationConfigurationHardening" target="_blank">D3-ACH</a>]. [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Work2">2</a>]</li>
<li>Use SNMPv3 with “authPriv” configured to the most modern encryption standard that is supported by the device instead of SNMPv1 or SNMPv2 [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ApplicationConfigurationHardening" target="_blank">D3-ACH</a>]. [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Work3">3</a>]
<ul>
<li>Disable SNMPv1 and SNMPv2. These are legacy protocols and should no longer be needed on current devices. If they are necessary, change all community strings from defaults and only allow read-only community strings rather than read-write access.</li>
<li>SNMPv3 adds strong authentication and data encryption that are unavailable in SNMPv1 and v2. SNMPv3 replaces clear text shared passwords, known as community strings, with more securely encoded parameters, and authenticates and encrypts data [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:MessageAuthentication" target="_blank">D3-MAN</a>, <a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:MessageEncryption" target="_blank">D3-MENCR</a>].</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Use strong, unique passwords for local accounts on network devices and configure credentials to be stored securely to prevent reuse of compromised passwords [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:CredentialHardening" target="_blank">D3-CH</a>].
<ul>
<li>Cisco devices protect passwords in the configuration file using different hashing types. Use hashing type 8 for user credentials. Avoid using hashing type 0, 4, and 7 as they are insecure or store passwords in plaintext in the configuration file. [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Work4">4</a>]</li>
<li>Monitor for unusual credentials that do not conform to standard organizational naming conventions [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:PlatformMonitoring" target="_blank">D3-PM</a>]. </li>
<li> Monitor for and alert on logins using local accounts. Local accounts should only be used in emergency situations when accounts supported by centralized authentication servers are unavailable. Centralized authentication to network devices should support multi-factor authentication where feasible. [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Work3">3</a>]</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Monitor and restrict access to SNMP OIDs using a Management Information Base (MIB) allow list [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ApplicationConfigurationHardening" target="_blank">D3-ACH</a>]. [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Work5">5</a>] Reference the vendor-specific MIB for the network devices and monitor OIDs for indications of reconnaissance or misconfiguration in logs or intrusion detection systems (IDS). IDS rules should be written for inbound SNMP Set-Requests that contain OIDs targeting sensitive device data [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:PlatformMonitoring" target="_blank">D3-PM</a>].<br>
<ul type="square">
<li>Example OIDs include:
<ul>
<li>1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1 (Cisco Config Copy)</li>
<li>1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.5 (Config Copy Server Address, value for this OID is where the configuration file is being sent to) </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Restrict management protocols [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:NetworkTrafficFiltering" target="_blank">D3-NTF</a>].
<ul>
<li>Use Access Control Lists (ACLs) to only allow management protocols, such as SNMP, from management devices, preferably on an out-of-band network. [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#Work3">3</a>]</li>
<li>On edge firewalls and devices deny all external communications on the following ports unless mission critical, with strict monitoring if blocking is not feasible:
<ul>
<li>User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 69 (TFTP) </li>
<li>Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port 4786 (SMI)</li>
<li>UDP ports 161 and 162 (SNMP)</li>
<li>TCP/UDP ports 10161 and 10162 (SNMPv3)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Update network device software and firmware images, especially to patch known vulnerabilities, and upgrade end-of-life devices to supported ones. <br>
<ul type="square">
<li>Use an attack surface management service to identify and secure Internet-facing systems with weak configurations and known vulnerabilities [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:NetworkVulnerabilityAssessment" target="_blank">D3-NVA</a>].

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Rust team is happy to announce a new version of Rust, 1.96.0. Rust is a programming language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.</p>
<p>If you have a previous version of Rust installed via <code>rustup</code>, you can get 1.96.0 with:</p>
<pre class="giallo z-code"><code><span class="giallo-l"><span>$</span><span> rustup update stable</span></span></code></pre>
<p>If you don't have it already, you can <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/install.html" rel="external">get <code>rustup</code></a> from the appropriate page on our website, and check out the <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/releases.html#version-1960-2026-05-28" rel="external">detailed release notes for 1.96.0</a>.</p>
<p>If you'd like to help us out by testing future releases, you might consider updating locally to use the beta channel (<code>rustup default beta</code>) or the nightly channel (<code>rustup default nightly</code>). Please <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/new/choose" rel="external">report</a> any bugs you might come across!</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/05/28/Rust-1.96.0/#what-s-in-1-96-0-stable"></a>
What's in 1.96.0 stable</h3>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/05/28/Rust-1.96.0/#new-range-types"></a>
New <code>Range*</code> types</h4>
<p>Many users expect <code>Range</code> and related <code>core::ops</code> types to be <code>Copy</code>, but this is not the case: they implement <code>Iterator</code> directly, and <a href="https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/rust-1.95.0/index.html#copy_iterator" rel="external">it is a footgun to implement both <code>Iterator</code> and <code>Copy</code> on the same type</a> so this has been avoided. <a href="https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3550-new-range.html" rel="external">RFC3550</a> proposed a set of replacement range types that implement <code>IntoIterator</code> rather than <code>Iterator</code>, meaning they can also be <code>Copy</code>. The standard library portion of that RFC is now stable, introducing:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>core::range::Range</code></li>
<li><code>core::range::RangeFrom</code></li>
<li><code>core::range::RangeInclusive</code></li>
<li>Associated iterators</li>
</ul>
<p>A Rust version in the near future will also add <code>core::range::RangeFull</code> and <code>core::range::RangeTo</code> as re-exports from <code>core::ops</code> (these do not implement <code>Iterator</code> and already implement <code>Copy</code>), and <code>core::range::legacy::*</code> as the new home for the current ranges. Range syntax like <code>0..1</code> still produces the legacy types for now, but will be updated to <code>core::range</code> types in a future edition.</p>
<p>With these stabilizations, it is now possible to store slice accessors in <code>Copy</code> types without splitting <code>start</code> and <code>end</code>:</p>
<pre class="giallo z-code"><code><span class="giallo-l"><span class="z-keyword">use</span><span class="z-entity z-name z-namespace"> core</span><span class="z-keyword z-operator">::</span><span class="z-entity z-name z-namespace">range</span><span class="z-keyword z-operator">::</span><span class="z-entity z-name z-type">Range</span><span>;</span></span>
<span class="giallo-l"></span>
<span class="giallo-l"><span>#</span><span>[</span><span>derive</span><span>(</span><span class="z-entity z-name z-type">Clone</span><span>,</span><span class="z-entity z-name z-type"> Copy</span><span>)</span><span>]</span></span>

<span class="giallo-l"></span>
<span class="giallo-l"><span class="z-keyword">impl</span><span class="z-entity z-name z-type"> Span</span><span> {</span></span>
<span class="giallo-l"><span class="z-keyword">    pub</span><span class="z-keyword"> fn</span><span class="z-entity z-name z-function"> of</span><span>(</span><span class="z-variable z-language">self</span><span>,</span><span class="z-variable"> s</span><span class="z-keyword z-operator">:</span><span class="z-keyword z-operator"> &amp;</span><span class="z-entity z-name z-type">str</span><span>)</span><span class="z-keyword z-operator"> -&gt;</span><span class="z-keyword z-operator"> &amp;</span><span class="z-entity z-name z-type">str</span><span> {</span></span>

<span class="giallo-l"><span>    }</span></span>
<span class="giallo-l"><span>}</span></span></code></pre>
<p>The new <code>RangeInclusive</code> also makes its fields public, unlike the legacy version which avoided exposing the exhausted iterator state. This isn't a concern with the new type since it must be converted to begin iteration.</p>
<p>Library authors should consider making use of <code>impl RangeBounds</code> in public API, which accepts both legacy and new range types. If a concrete type is needed, prefer using new ranges as this will eventually become the default.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/05/28/Rust-1.96.0/#assert-matching-patterns"></a>
Assert matching patterns</h4>
<p>The new macros <code>assert_matches!</code> and <code>debug_assert_matches!</code> check that a value matches a given pattern, panicking with a <code>Debug</code> representation of the value otherwise. These are essentially the same as <code>assert!(matches!(..))</code> and <code>debug_assert!(matches!(..))</code>, but the printed value improves the possibility of diagnosing the failure.</p>
<p>These new macros have not been added to the standard prelude, because they would collide with popular third-party crates that provide macros with the same name. Instead, they should be manually imported from <code>core</code> or <code>std</code> before use.</p>

<p>WebAssembly targets no longer pass <code>--allow-undefined</code> to the linker which means that undefined symbols when linking are now a linker error instead of being converted to WebAssembly imports from the <code>"env"</code> module. This change prevents modules from linking unless all linking-related symbols are defined to catch bugs earlier and prevent accidental issues with symbol naming or similar.</p>
<p>Undefined linking-related symbols are often indicative of build-time related bugs or misconfiguration. If, however, the old behavior is intended then it can be re-enabled with <code>RUSTFLAGS=-Clink-arg=--allow-undefined</code> or by editing the source code and using <code>#[link(wasm_import_module = "env")]</code> on the block defining the symbol.</p>
<p>This change was <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/04/04/changes-to-webassembly-targets-and-handling-undefined-symbols/" rel="external">previously announced</a> on this blog, and now takes effect in Rust 1.96.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Highlights</h3>
<ul>
<li>The profile backup mechanism has been enabled by default for all desktop platforms in Nightly, as well as Beta! The current plan is to have this ride out to Firefox 151 for Windows, macOS and Linux on May 18th!
<ul>
<li>This feature, when enabled, will create a copy of your profile data in the background and store it in a single file on your file system that you can restore from.</li>
<li>You will be able to manage this feature in Settings under Sync (for now)
<ul>
<li><a href="https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/files/2026/06/image6.png"><img alt="Firefox settings page showing the Backup feature in dark mode. Backup is enabled, with details of the most recent backup and a “Backup now” button. The page displays the backup file name and a backup location folder path, along with “Choose…” and “Show in folder” buttons. A “Sensitive data” section includes an option to back up passwords and payment methods with encryption, and a disabled “Change password” button." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2074" height="517" src="https://blog.nightly.mozilla.org/files/2026/06/image6.png" width="657"></a></li>

<li>As followups to the recent addition to the WebExtension tabs API to <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Working_with_the_Tabs_API#working_with_tab_split_views">support the new SplitView tabs feature</a>, tabs.group() and tabs.ungroup() have been fixed to work correctly with split view tabs, and fixed split views being prepended instead of appended to tab groups when adopted into a new window –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2029099"> Bug 2029099</a> /<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2029534"> Bug 2029534</a></li>
<li>Adaptive autofill has been enabled on Nightly.
<ul>
<li>Previously, autofill only completed domains (e.g. typing red autofilled<a href="http://reddit.com/"> reddit.com</a>). Now it can also complete full URLs for pages you visit often (e.g. red →<a href="http://reddit.com/r/firefox"> reddit.com/r/firefox</a>), learning from what you actually click in the address bar. If a suggestion isn’t helpful, you can now dismiss it so autofill learns what not to show you too.

<h3>Project Updates</h3>
<h4>Add-ons / Web Extensions</h4>
<h5>Addon Manager &amp; about:addons</h5>
<ul>
<li>In preparation for the Project Nova restyling of the about:addons page, we have refactored about:addons into separate per-component ES modules, splitting the monolithic aboutaddons.js and aboutaddons.html into 16 dedicated component files under components/ (with no behavior or UI changes) –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2032014"> Bug 2032014</a>
<ul>
<li>NOTE: if you have working on patches with changes to about:addons internals it is very likely you’ll need to rebase and solve merge conflicts hit on top of this refactoring, the internals are still largely the same as before but don’t hesitate to reach out to the Addons team if you have doubts / questions or need help to figure out how to adapt your patch of top of these changes</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h5>WebExtensions Framework</h5>
<ul>
<li>Fixed exportFunction to preserve the constructibility of the wrapped function instead of unconditionally making all exported functions implicitly as constructors –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2033173"> Bug 2033173</a>
<ul>
<li>Thanks to Gregory Pappas for contributing this improvement to the Content Scripts’ Xray Wrappers helpers!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Fixed a Firefox 151 regression where extension content scripts accessing location.ancestorOrigins caused subsequent page script reads of the same property to fail with “Permission denied”, breaking sites like Gmail –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2034329"> Bug 2034329</a>
<ul>
<li>Thanks to Simon Farre for promptly investigating and fixing this recent regression!</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h5>WebExtension APIs</h5>
<ul>
<li>Updated sessions.getRecentlyClosed() to remove the hardcoded cap when maxResults is omitted –<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1392125"> Bug 1392125</a>
<ul>
<li>Shoutout to Amine Zroual for contributing this enhancement to the sessions WebExtensions API!</li>
</ul>
</li>

<li>We did our first region-specific trainhop on May 11th (just 15% of the US), and turned on HNT Nova (and sometimes Widgets) for those clients to get some advance-data of its behaviour in the wild! A note that HNT Nova gets turned on for everybody when Firefox 151 ships on May 19th.

</ul>
<h4>DevTools</h4>

<h4>WebDriver</h4>
<ul>
<li>Sameem updated the “Take Element Screenshot” command from WebDriver Classic to <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2013176">crop screenshots of elements which exceed the viewport</a>. This aligns with the specification and avoids errors when attempting to capture huge elements.</li>
<li>Alexandra Borovova updated the events for new top-level browsing contexts: <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1930594">we will not send anymore “browsingContext.domContentLoaded” and “browsingContext.load” events for them, instead the “browsingContext.contextCreated” event will be sent when a tab is ready to be used</a>. This is required to align with the expected per-spec behavior.</li>

<li>Dre fixed the List widget that was creating a new list too eagerly on the New Tab Page (<a href="https://bugzil.la/2033592">2033592</a>) — prevents accidental list creation and improves the Lists UI reliability.</li>
<li>Maxx Crawford<a href="https://bugzil.la/2035176"> fixed Weather widget small card layout issues with opt-in location options and an error message displayed</a>, resolving card overflow and removing the spurious opt-in error so users see a compact Weather card and correct location prompts on New Tab.</li>
<li>Reem Hamoui<a href="https://bugzil.la/2037301"> added key dates state to the Sports widget</a>, enabling the Sports card to surface event deadlines/key-date highlights on New Tab so sports users see timely date info.</li>
<li>Scott Downe<a href="https://bugzil.la/2037541"> added a manage widgets option to the New Tab nova widgets context menu</a>, giving users a direct context-menu entry to open the widget management flow from any widget with Nova enabled.</li>
<li>Scott Downe added a reusable Newtab widget base component to centralize lifecycle, focus/keyboard handling, DOM templates, and telemetry hooks, reducing duplication and making widget behavior more consistent; see<a href="https://bugzil.la/2037947"> Newtab widget base component</a>.</li>
<li>Dre converted per-widget expansion handling to a shared widget expansion handler to unify expand/collapse state management and prevent widgets from incorrectly retaining or losing expanded state; see<a href="https://bugzil.la/2038048"> Convert widget expansion handling to shared widget expansion</a>.</li>
<li>Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py]<a href="https://bugzil.la/2038881"> updated the Sports widget to populate the “follow teams” state from the /teams endpoint</a>, so follow/unfollow toggles now reflect server-side subscriptions and reduce incorrect follow states.</li>
<li>Scott Downe<a href="https://bugzil.la/2038981"> moved widget menu items</a> within New Tab widgets to standardize menu ordering and action grouping, so users find Add/Remove/Configure entries in expected positions across platforms.</li>
<li>Dre<a href="https://bugzil.la/2039346"> fixed a World Clock city search bug </a>for the word clocks widget, restoring expected search filtering/matching so city lookups return correct results.</li>
<li>Scott Downe fixed an issue where the New Tab small weather widget size change didn’t always apply by correcting the widget size update path (JS/CSS layout interactions), improving consistent rendering for small-tile weather across responsive breakpoints and platforms; see<a href="https://bugzil.la/2040033"> Newtab small weather widget size change doesn’t always work</a>.</li>
<li>Nina Pypchenko [:nina-py]<a href="https://bugzil.la/2040269"> added a group stage section to match highlights</a> in the sports widget on New Tab so users now see stage-aware grouping and stage labels on match highlight cards, making tournament context (group vs knockout) visible while browsing highlights.</li>
<li>Dre<a href="https://bugzil.la/2040376"> fixed the small world clock widget not expanding to large while editing clocks</a> so users can enter edit mode and expand the widget as expected; the change wires the edit-mode resize handler to update widget size/class during edits.</li>
<li>Maxx Crawford<a href="https://bugzil.la/2040480"> added WCW OMC message strings</a> so World Cup widget messaging flows on New Tab now display the correct copy (localized where available) instead of falling back to missing-text behavior.</li>
<li>Reem Hamoui<a href="https://bugzil.la/2040552"> added a “View all” button and a list view for the results tab at medium widget size</a> so Sports widget users on medium New Tab tiles can expand results and scroll full lists without resizing the widget.</li>
<li>Maxx Crawford<a href="https://bugzil.la/2040674"> added WCW “Watch Live” stream strings to the Sports widget strings bundle</a> so the widget can surface a localized “Watch Live” CTA for applicable events.</li>

</ul>
<h4>Picture-in-Picture</h4>
<ul>
<li>kpatenio <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2041113">adjusted our YouTube site specific wrapper so that the URL bar toggle appears more reliably</a>, especially when selecting videos from the YouTube search page.</li>
<li>Thanks to Sylvestre for patching <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2037420">some</a> <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2042141">bugs</a> to prevent some spurious console errors!</li>

<h4>Performance Tools (aka <a href="https://profiler.firefox.com/">Firefox Profiler</a>)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Firefox Profiler now has a CLI! We also added a profiler-analysis skill to the Firefox codebase. Once you capture a performance profile, you can ask Claude or an AI to analyze it by providing a link or local path. You can use it to analyze a performance regression or debug an issue if you have a profile at hand.
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/@firefox-devtools/profiler-cli">https://www.npmjs.com/package/@firefox-devtools/profiler-cli</a></li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="c43"><em><span class="c11 c1">This is the technical companion to our update on Distilled, </span><span class="c11 c1 c17"><a class="c5" href="https://blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-security/keeping-the-web-open-and-private-in-the-bot-era/">“Keeping the web open and private in the bot era.”</a></span><span class="c11 c1"> Here we take a deeper look at the problem space, the design we’re proposing, and the problems still left to </span><span class="c1 c11">solve</span></em><span class="c13 c11 c1"><em>.</em> </span></p>
<h3 class="c24"><span class="c2 c1">Bots (and privacy-preserving browsers) not welcome </span></h3>
<p class="c40"><span class="c0">Browse a news site in a private window. Shop at a major retailer with a VPN. Visit a video streaming platform with anti-fingerprinting defenses tuned up. You’ll see the same responses: registration walls, block pages, and endless CAPTCHAs. The message is clear: </span><span class="c13 c11 c1">if we think you might be a bot, you’re not welcome</span><span class="c0">. </span></p>
<p class="c53"><span class="c0">Websites have valid reasons for wanting to block bots. Bots enable volumetric abuse</span><span class="c1">, abuse that wouldn’t otherwise be feasible if they had to be carried out by humans</span><span class="c0">. </span><span class="c0"> For example</span><span class="c1">: SEO comment spam, credential stuffing and DDoSing</span><span class="c0">.</span><span class="c0"> Consequently many sites employ dedicated anti-abuse tooling which aims to keep the bots out whilst minimizing friction for human visitors. </span></p>
<p class="c21"><span class="c0">Unfortunately, that tooling is increasingly failing at both tasks. Browser privacy protections are </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/fingerprinting-protections/">dismantling</a></span><span class="c0"> the passive signals that anti-abuse systems depended on to identify and distinguish </span><span class="c0">visitors</span><span class="c0">. Meanwhile advances in generative AI have rendered CAPTCHAs ineffective: bots now solve them </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://www.usenix.org/system/files/usenixsecurity23-searles.pdf">faster and more reliably</a></span><span class="c0"> than </span><span class="c0">humans</span><span class="c0">. </span></p>
<p class="c33"><span class="c0">Many sites are switching to more invasive mechanisms and now ask visitors to disclose </span><span class="c1">identifying information</span><span class="c0">,</span><span class="c0"> e.g. an email address, a federated login or </span><span class="c1">disabling their VPN</span><span class="c0">. This means greater friction for users, since providing these details on a first visit takes time. It also compromises their privacy, since these details enable the same kinds of cross-site tracking that browser privacy protections were intended to mitigate. </span></p>
<p class="c38"><span class="c0">This </span><span class="c1">leaves</span><span class="c0"> users </span><span class="c1">with a</span><span class="c0"> dilemma. The more effectively they protect their privacy, the harder it is for websites to distinguish them from bots and the worse the treatment they receive. Website operators are also suffering. The additional friction they inflict upon well-behaved visitors harms their site, but many are willing to pay the costs if it mitigates volumetric abuse. </span></p>
<p class="c44"><span class="c1">Browser-based AI agents make this tension more acute. Sites may want to allow agents which are acting on behalf of individual users while blocking agents engaged in volumetric abuse. However, with no effective mechanisms to distinguish the two, websites are opting to block </span><span class="c17 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/3730567.3732913">both</a></span><span class="c0">. That hurts users, who should be free to choose the user agent they use to access the web; it hurts new browsers and agents, which struggle to interoperate; and it hurts sites, which lose legitimate visitors.</span></p>
<p class="c30"><span class="c0">The consequence is that the web gets worse for everyone. Users get more friction or less privacy or both. Website operators see more volumetric abuse and the friction they add drives away users </span><span class="c1">who</span><span class="c0"> would otherwise want to consume their content or services. New user</span><span class="c1"> </span><span class="c0">agents struggle to access the same content as conventional browsers. </span></p>
<h3 class="c12"><span class="c20 c1">The</span><span class="c20 c1"> Costs of </span><span class="c2 c1">Convenient</span><span class="c2 c1"> Solutions</span></h3>
<p class="c9"><span class="c0">Some large ecosystem players have put forward solutions that leverage their control of the dominant operating systems and their deep integration with consumer hardware. These rely on device attestation: identifiers and privileged code baked into devices at the hardware level, which let manufacturers prove what software is running on a user’s device. Exposing this functionality to the web means attesting to sites that the user is running approved software with trusted hardware and therefore isn’t a bot. There have been two substantive proposals.</span></p>
<p class="c9"><span class="c0">Google’s Web Environment Integrity, <a href="https://www.theregister.com/software/2023/11/02/google-abandons-web-environment-integrity-api-proposal/335969">abandoned in 2023</a>, was the blunt version. It attested to the user agent itself, as well as the operating system and device in use. Users would have lost control in two ways: once to the attester, which would decide which operating systems and devices could be blessed, and again to the website, which would decide which software to accept. If sites had adopted allow-lists of approved user agents, building a new browser would have become virtually impossible, and sites could have withdrawn access from any user agent they chose.</span></p>
<p class="c9"><span class="c0">Apple’s Private Access Tokens, <a href="https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=huqjyh7k">deployed</a> across their ecosystem in 2022, have more subtle issues. Built on the Privacy Pass protocol standardized at the IETF, they get a lot right: a user receives a renewed, limited batch of one-time tokens that can be presented to websites without linking their visits together. This provides privacy for users and has shown rate limits to be an effective tool for sites – both points we’ll return to later in this post.</span></p>
<p class="c9"><span class="c1">However, Private Access Tokens rely on device attestation, requiring that the hardware manufacturer be in overall control of the user’s device. Presenting a PAT tells a website you are locked into Apple’s rules for what counts as acceptable software. </span><span class="c1">Due to PAT’s technical design</span><sup class="c1"><a href="https://hacks.mozilla.org/?p=48374#:~:text=PAT%20requires">[1]</a></sup><span class="c1">, there’s no way to open the system to other sources of scarcity without compromising the system’s privacy properties, meaning that if more widely deployed, access to the web would</span><span class="c1"> become tied to having bought expensive hardware from a small, hard to change set of vendors</span><span class="c1">. </span></p>
<p class="c9"><span class="c1">Both approaches are ultimately hostile to users and to the openness of the web. Both are premised on parts of a user’s device that sit within the manufacturer’s control and beyond the user’s own. Were they widely deployed, the web would become just another walled garden with centralized gatekeepers controlling acceptable hardware, operating systems and software. As convenient as these solutions are for the players who already dominate the ecosystem, we think there’s a better path.</span></p>
<h3 class="c24"><span class="c2 c1">A Better Path Forward </span></h3>
<p class="c24"><span class="c1">Bots’ harms arise from their ability to operate beyond human scale. For sites to prevent volumetric abuse they</span><span class="c0"> don’t actually need to know </span><span class="c1">the user’s</span><span class="c0"> identity or </span><span class="c1">receive cryptographic</span><span class="c0"> proof that they’re running approved softwar</span><span class="c1">e. If sites knew their visitors were restricted to a rate </span><span class="c1">limit</span><span class="c1"> set by a site, that would be enough.  </span></p>
<p class="c34"><span class="c1">Rate limits</span><span class="c0"> only make sense if </span><span class="c1">they’re</span><span class="c0"> </span><span class="c1">tied to</span><span class="c0"> something scarce; something an attacker can’t cheaply replicate to evade the limit. </span><span class="c0">Without anchoring to a scarce resource, like the trusted hardware used in Private Access Tokens, attackers can generate as many fresh identities as they need to bypass the rate limit. </span></p>
<p class="c56"><span class="c1">However, </span><span class="c0">hardware is just one option for </span><span class="c1">scarcity</span><span class="c0">. Anything a user already has that an attacker can’t trivially spin up at scale will work</span><span class="c1">: e</span><span class="c0">mail addresses and phone numbers are naturally scarce</span><span class="c1">. A paid subscription costs an attacker the same as a real user.  </span><span class="c0">Even maintaining an account on a free service requires </span><span class="c1">some</span><span class="c0"> non-trivial work. </span></p>
<p class="c39"><span class="c0">What if we could use these scarce signals across the web? We</span><span class="c1"> could build </span><span class="c0">an open ecosystem with many parties offering scarcity signals, each site choosing which to accept. By </span><span class="c0">opening up who can provide a signal, and letting sites choose which to accept, we can avoid transferring control to device manufacturers and the resulting harms. </span></p>
<p class="c39"><span class="c1">As a concrete example of who might be well positioned to provide such a signal, we can consider VPN providers acting as a subscription service. Sites routinely block VPN users indiscriminately, whether through a deliberate policy choice or through an indirect consequence of rate limiting visitors per IP address. But a VPN subscription is a perfect source of scarcity. If the VPN provider could vouch for its users so that sites could rate limit each user individually – then users would be able to browse the web with less friction and without giving up their VPN usage. </span></p>
<p class="c35"><span class="c0">The catch is that building </span><span class="c1">a system that can enable this</span><span class="c0"> on the open web whilst </span><span class="c1">maintaining user’s privacy</span><span class="c0"> is genuinely difficult. </span><span class="c1">It requires that we take information from one site — that this user holds some scarce thing — and expose it to other sites so that they can use that as the basis for their rate limiting. </span><span class="c0">Letting one site verify a signal from another is </span><span class="c1">the sort of </span><span class="c0">information flow</span><span class="c1"> </span><span class="c0">that privacy-pr</span><span class="c1">eserving </span><span class="c0">browsers have spent the last decade locking down to </span><span class="c1">prevent cross-site tracking</span><span class="c0">. </span></p>
<p class="c35"><span class="c1">Our goal would be that no more than the minimum information gets through: a single bit communicating whether the user is below the rate limit set by the site. Leaking anything more – like the source of the scarcity that the rate limit is anchored to – would be unacceptable. Enabling a new cross-site information flow might feel like compromising privacy to gain better access, but reality is more nuanced. If a new system moves sites away from demanding that visitors be identifiable (whether through fingerprinting or login forms), </span><span class="c1">it can be a win for both privacy and access.</span></p>
<h3 class="c24"><span class="c2 c1">The Foundations </span></h3>
<p class="c50"><span class="c0">The good news is that the cryptographic foundations for a privacy preserving approach already exist. The </span><span class="c1 c3"><a class="c5" href="https://privacypass.github.io/">Privacy Pass protocol</a></span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://privacypass.github.io/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1782228494401139&amp;usg=AOvVaw3uoXdqARBZKjQF5H8uwYKY">,</a></span><span class="c0"> </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://www.petsymposium.org/2018/files/papers/issue3/popets-2018-0026.pdf">originally developed in 2018</a></span><span class="c0"> to reduce the friction of Cloudflare CAPTCHAs for Tor users, introduced the core primitive: a token that is </span><span class="c13 c11 c1">unlinkable </span><span class="c0">between issuance and redemption. You prove something to an issuer (e.g. by </span><span class="c1">solving a CAPTCHA</span><span class="c0">), receive some tokens, and later present a token to a website. The website can verify the token is legitimate, but can’t link it to the user it was issued to. </span></p>
<p><img alt="A diagram showing the protocol flow for Privacy Pass." class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48375" height="1639" src="https://hacks.mozilla.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/pact-drawings-1.excalidraw1-scaled.png" width="2560"></p>
<p class="c27"><img alt="" title=""><span class="c20 c1 c57"><strong>Figure 1</strong>: </span><span class="c0"><em>In Privacy Pass, a CAPTCHA provider can issue tokens to a client which can then be used to bypass challenges for future site visits. Even if the CAPTCHA provider and sites collude, they can’t use the tokens to identify the user or their browsing history.</em> </span></p>
<p class="c52"><span class="c0">Privacy Pass has gone on to be successfully deployed in systems where the issuer and verifier have a prior trust relationship: </span><span class="c0">Apple</span><span class="c0"> uses it to authenticate users of </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://hacks.mozilla.org/feed/">Private Cloud Compute</a></span><span class="c0"> </span><span class="c1">and</span><span class="c0"> </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/iCloud_Private_Relay_Overview_Dec2021.PDF">Private Rel</a></span><span class="c17 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/iCloud_Private_Relay_Overview_Dec2021.PDF&amp;sa=D&amp;source=editors&amp;ust=1782228494402463&amp;usg=AOvVaw0KGoiSPg-8NLvNvIiSSbPt">ay</a></span><span class="c1"> </span><span class="c0">without linking their activity to their identity, </span><span class="c0">Chrome</span><span class="c0"> uses it for </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://github.com/GoogleChrome/ip-protection">two-hop IP protection</a></span><span class="c0">, and </span><span class="c0">Kagi</span><span class="c0"> uses it to provide </span><span class="c17 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html">private search</a></span><span class="c0">. </span><span class="c0">These deployments work in part because a small number of parties have agreed in advance on who issues tokens and who accepts them. </span></p>
<p class="c18"><span class="c0">Applying this approach to an open system where any site can act as</span><span class="c0"> an issuer</span><span class="c0"> </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k3QJG2D_Sq4zJiJRn9DfY80hEHuz9UWrJdTt8LbRsMM/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.r8jxzjcoeumo">brings real challenges</a></span><span class="c0">.</span><span class="c0"> Firstly, even though tokens are unlinkable, knowing a user has access to a specific issuer is a privacy leak on its own, because you can infer that the user meets the relevant issuance criteria. </span><span class="c1">If one site can learn that you have a token from another site, that reveals that you have been to that site, which can be a major privacy problem. </span><span class="c0">This compounds if </span><span class="c1">sites </span><span class="c0">can learn the set of issuers </span><span class="c1">you have visited</span><span class="c0">, since it becomes a fingerprint which can be used to identify </span><span class="c1">you</span><span class="c0">. </span></p>
<p class="c8"><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/11/27/zero-knowledge-proofs-illustrated-primer/">Generic techniques</a></span><span class="c0"> exist for proving a statement in zero knowledge: we can prove that </span><span class="c1">a client</span><span class="c0"> ha</span><span class="c1">s</span><span class="c0"> a token from a set of acceptable issuers without revealing which specific issuer it is. We’ll call this issuer blinding. </span><span class="c0">The generic approach is often slow, but </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-orru-zkproof-sigma-protocols-01.html">bespoke approaches</a></span><span class="c0"> tailored to the underlying cryptography can improve this considerably. </span></p>
<p class="c54"><span class="c0">Another challenge is how sites using rate limits decide who to trust to issue tokens. If an issuer misbehaves then the site’s rate limits become ineffective, enabling volumetric abuse. However, if we need to prevent the site from learning which issuers a user has access to, the site is only going to know that one of its trusted issuers was used, not which one. This makes mistakes or misbehaviour by an issuer difficult to detect, and makes it hard for sites to evaluate new issuers. Solving this challenge is essential for openness. Without adequate information, </span><span class="c0">sites are likely to lean towards conservative issuer selection. </span><span class="c1">That could lead to less choice between Anchors, which in turn could lead to a new form of gatekeeper being created.</span><span class="c0"> </span></p>
<p class="c32"><span class="c0">To solve this, sites at least need a way to calculate an aggregate score for each issuer they use. This should roughly correspond to how much of the traffic it considers abusive to have come from users using that particular issuer. Mozilla has long invested in systems like </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/partnership-ohttp-prio/">Prio</a></span><span class="c0"> which use multiparty computation (MPC) to protect user privacy whilst enabling aggregate measurements of system behaviour. </span></p>
<p class="c59"><span class="c0">Privacy Pass also struggles to handle dynamic adjustments to rate limits. Once tokens have been issued, they’re difficult to invalidate without either revoking all active tokens or risking attacks which can compromise the privacy of users. It’s also beneficial if sites can adjust rate limits on a per </span><span class="c1">client</span><span class="c0"> basis, for example by increasing rate limits where they become more confident the </span><span class="c1">client</span><span class="c0"> is benign and withdrawing access </span><span class="c1">when abuse is detected</span><span class="c0">. </span></p>
<p class="c47"><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-schlesinger-cfrg-act-00.html">Anonymous Credit Tokens</a></span><span class="c0"> </span><span class="c0">offer a useful building block to solve this problem. Conventional Privacy Pass schemes rely on issuing a bucket of tokens but ACT works differently by enabling the use of a credential with state. For example, an ACT credential can hold an internal counter. When the credential is presented, the site can check the counter is over some threshold and mutate it, increasing or decreasing </span><span class="c1">the counter whenever</span><span class="c0"> the site’s perception of the holder has improved or worsened. Critically, the exact value is never leaked to the site, preventing the site from tracking the holder and ensuring successive presentations of the same credential can’t be linked. </span></p>
<h3 class="c24"><span class="c2 c1">Putting it together </span></h3>
<p class="c19"><span class="c1">So how can we combine these techniques to build a system which can enable privacy-preserving rate limiting on the open web? In May 2026, we participated in a </span><a href="https://pactworkshop.com/"><span class="c17 c1">W3C CG Meeting</span></a><span class="c0"> in collaboration with Cloudflare, Chrome and other web stakeholders in which we started sketching out a design we’re calling PACT – Private Access Control Tokens. </span></p>
<p class="c19"><span class="c0">Rate limits need a starting point, a source of scarcity to anchor on. We’ll call an entity that provides such a source an </span><span class="c2 c1">Anchor</span><span class="c0">. To a user who meets the Anchor’s criteria, like having a subscription,</span><span class="c0"> an account in good standing</span><span class="c0">, or a verified phone number, an Anchor issues a batch of </span><span class="c2 c1">Endorsement </span><span class="c0">tokens, following the Privacy Pass model. In practice, Anchors could be any website which has access to this kind of signal. An Endorsement conveys</span><span class="c1"> </span><span class="c0">scarcity to other sites. </span></p>
<p class="c51"><span class="c0">That’s enough for a simple system where access is </span><span class="c1">either granted or denied</span><span class="c0">. But as we discussed earlier, we also want the ability to increase access where a visitor behaves benignly and decrease it where they don’t. </span><span class="c1">The state needed to enforce a rate limit</span><span class="c0"> can’t live in the Endorsement, because Endorsements cross trust boundaries between unrelated sites. We need a second object that can hold that state, scoped to the party that maintains it. </span></p>
<p class="c48"><span class="c0">We’ll call that the party that handles rate limiting for a site a </span><span class="c2 c1">Moderator </span><span class="c0">and the stateful object a </span><span class="c2 c1">Credential</span><span class="c0">. </span><span class="c1">A Credential is specific to a Moderator and, unlike endorsements, we limit each site to nominating a single Moderator. In the common case the site itself plays the Moderator role, so there’s no new entity or trust boundary. </span><span class="c1">A Moderator can also be a third-party service shared across many sites, allowing those sites to cooperatively share a rate limit.</span><span class="c0"> </span></p>
<p class="c48"><span class="c0">In the terminology of the previous section, the Anchor is the issuer of Endorsements, and the Moderator both verifies Endorsements and issues Credentials. A Moderator manages rate-limit policy: it decides which Anchors it trusts, accepts their Endorsements, and issues a Credential in return.</span></p>
<p class="c14"><img alt="" title=""><img alt="A diagram showing an overview of the PACT system" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48381" height="1655" src="https://hacks.mozilla.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/pact-drawings-5.excalidraw21-scaled.png" width="2560"></p>
<p class="c14"><strong><span class="c1 c20">Figure 2: </span></strong><span class="c1"><em>(1) Clients acquire Endorsements from Anchors in the course of normal browsing to sites they have relationships with. (2) Clients can exchange Endorsements for a stateful Credential from a Moderator. (3) Credentials can be used to access sites which use that Moderator. Credentials can be updated over time.</em> </span></p>
<p class="c41"><span class="c0">Directly revealing which Anchor backed an Endorsement would leak a lot of information about the user. The issuer blinding techniques from the previous section solve this: when an Endorsement is redeemed, the Moderator only learns that it came from one of </span><span class="c1">the </span><span class="c0">Anchors it trusts, but not which one. </span></p>
<p class="c28"><span class="c0">When a Moderator covers more than one site, we let Credentials be presented across all of them but partition cookies and storage as</span><span class="c1"> we would for any other third party site</span><span class="c0">. The unlinkability of </span><span class="c1">Credential</span><span class="c0"> presentations keeps this from creating a new cross-site identifier. The benefit is that good behaviour on one site improves access on every site the Moderator covers, and bad behaviour cuts it everywhere. Websites can already build the same capability with a shared account system, so this doesn’t create a new way to lock users out, but it </span><span class="c1">does provide a</span><span class="c0"> new way to grant access without requiring users to give up their privacy. </span></p>
<p class="c28"><span class="c0">Enabling Moderators that cover many sites carries a centralisation risk, simila</span><span class="c1">r </span><span class="c0">to the concentration we see today in anti-abuse providers. The mitigation is that the choice of Moderator stays with each site, and the choice of trusted Anchors stays with each Moderator. Th</span><span class="c1">is</span><span class="c0"> </span><span class="c1">can’t</span><span class="c0"> reverse the centralisation pressure the web already faces, but it </span><span class="c1">ensures this system won’t lead to additional lock-in</span><span class="c0">: a new Anchor or a new Moderator can be adopted without coordinating with a dominant vendor. </span></p>
<p class="c46"><span class="c0">The </span><span class="c1">system then has three flows</span><span class="c0">.</span><span class="c0"> First, the user </span><span class="c1">receives</span><span class="c0"> Endorsements from an Anchor in the course of normal interaction</span><span class="c1">, based on the Anchor’s positive view of the user</span><span class="c0">. This is </span><span class="c0">a relatively rare operation for any given user and Anchor. After all, as our source of scarcity, Endorsements should not be too easy to accumulate.</span></p>
<p class="c10"><img alt="" title=""><img alt="A diagram showing the PACT Anchor Flow" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48377" height="1789" src="https://hacks.mozilla.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/pact-drawings-3.excalidraw1-scaled.png" width="2560"></p>
<p class="c10"><strong><span class="c20 c1">Figure 3</span></strong><span class="c1">: <em>In the course of normal browsing, clients browse to websites they have a relationship with. These sites can act as Anchors by issuing Endorsements to clients.</em></span></p>
<p class="c26"><span class="c0">Second, when the user arrives at a site that works with a Moderator, the browser spends an Endorsement from an Anchor the Moderator trusts and receives a Credential in return. The presentation hides </span><span class="c13 c11 c1">which </span><span class="c0">Anchor was used, and </span><span class="c1">neither the Anchor nor the Moderator can trace the Endorsement back to where it was issued</span><span class="c0">. The Moderator decides what initial balance the Credential starts with. If the user has no Endorsements from suitable Anchors at all, existing mechanisms (CAPTCHAs, account creation, federated login) </span><span class="c1">could be used to</span><span class="c0"> bootstrap a Credential the same way, so the system degrades to today’s experience rather than locking the user out.</span></p>
<p class="c7"><img alt="" title=""><img alt="A diagram showing the protocol flow between Anchors and Moderators" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48378" height="1789" src="https://hacks.mozilla.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/pact-drawings-4.excalidraw1-scaled.png" width="2560"></p>
<p class="c7"><span class="c20 c1"><strong>Figure 4</strong></span><span class="c1"><strong>:</strong><em> When the client browses to a site, it can prompt the client for a Credential from the Moderator it uses. If the Client doesn’t have a suitable Credential, but does have a suitable Endorsement, it can exchange it for a Credential with the Moderator. In practice, the Moderator and the Site might be the same server. </em></span><em><span class="c0"> </span></em></p>
<p class="c25"><span class="c0">Third, as the user browses, the browser presents the Credential and the Moderator updates </span><span class="c1">the internal state of the Credential</span><span class="c0">. The </span><span class="c1">Moderator can reward </span><span class="c0">behaviour that looks benign and </span><span class="c1">penalize suspicious activity</span><span class="c0">, </span><span class="c1">but can’t track the use of the Credential or identify it if it’s used on other sites the Moderator covers</span><span class="c0">. </span><span class="c0">Revocation falls out of the same mechanism: a Moderator </span><span class="c1">can refuse to return an updated Credential</span><span class="c0">.</span><span class="c0"> </span></p>
<p class="c7"><img alt="" title=""><img alt="A diagram showing the PACT Moderator Flow" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48379" height="1618" src="https://hacks.mozilla.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/pact-drawings-5.excalidraw1-scaled.png" width="2560"></p>
<p class="c7"><strong><span class="c20 c1">Figure 5</span></strong><span class="c0"><strong>:</strong> <em>The Client can present the Credential on sites which use the matching Moderator. Sites can check if the Credential is in good standing. The sites can then adjust the access the Credential has in response to behaviour. E.g. increasing it when they gain confidence in the client or reducing it in response to malicious behaviour.</em></span></p>
<p class="c23"><span class="c0">In practice, all of this would happen transparently to the user through a WebAPI that sites acting as Anchors or Moderators would call from JavaScript. In an ideal ecosystem, users would accumulate Endorsements through normal browsing, just by virtue of the sites they already visit, and the rest of the flow would happen in the background as they move around the web, leaving </span><span class="c1">users</span><span class="c0"> with meaningfully less friction. </span></p>
<p class="c16"><span class="c0">AI agents acting on behalf of a user slot into the same flow. An agent can carry its user’s Credentials, in which case the user remains accountable for how the agent </span><span class="c1">behaves.</span><span class="c0"> </span><span class="c1">S</span><span class="c0">ites would not need to grant any more access than they would to the user themselves. Alternatively, the operator of an agent can run its own Anchor and vouch for its agents the way other Anchors vouch for human users. </span><span class="c0">Sites retain control over which Anchors they accept, so they can choose how to treat agent traffic without needing a separate detection mechanism. </span></p>
<p class="c6"><span class="c0">Several mechanisms combine to keep the information about a user that flows out close to a single bit. Cryptographic unlinkability ensures successive Credential presentations cannot be tied to each other or to the original issuance, so a user’s visits cannot be </span><span class="c1">joined</span><span class="c0"> into a history. Each site is bound to a single Moderator, so the set of Moderators a user has Credentials with never becomes a cross-site fingerprint. The Anchor-to-Credential exchange happens in an isolated browsing context, so during ordinary browsing the only thing the site or its Moderator ever observes is a Credential presentation: </span><span class="c1">the site only learns if </span><span class="c0">the user has a valid Credential below the rate limit, or </span><span class="c1">nothing</span><span class="c0">. </span><span class="c1">W</span><span class="c0">hen the Moderator updates a </span><span class="c1">Credential</span><span class="c0">, it</span><span class="c0"> adjusts the credentials state without learning what it is.</span></p>
<p class="c6"><span class="c1">The additional privacy given to users from </span><span class="c0">Issuer blinding</span><span class="c1"> makes participating in the system more challenging for Moderators</span><span class="c0">. Because the Moderator can’t see which Anchor backed a Credential at issuance, it can’t give a Credential from a strong Anchor </span><span class="c1">more access</span><span class="c0"> than one from a weak Anchor: doing so would itself leak which Anchor was used. The initial </span><span class="c1">access</span><span class="c0"> has to be uniform across the Moderator’s whole pool of Anchors, which in practice means setting it at the strength of the weakest. </span><span class="c1">However, this is only relevant for that initial access, the Moderator can update credentials according to the holder’s behavior, enabling Credential’s to accrue access over time.</span></p>
<p class="c42"><span class="c0">Building an open ecosystem also requires that sites can make effective decisions about the Anchors they choose to trust</span><span class="c1">. M</span><span class="c0">ultiparty computation systems like </span><span class="c0">Prio</span><span class="c0"> enable aggregate scoring without compromising pr</span><span class="c1">ivacy</span><span class="c0">. When users present Credentials, they can provide an encrypted share which identifies the anchor they use</span><span class="c1">d and can be privately aggregated to compute the quality of an issuer.</span></p>
<h3 class="c24"><span class="c2 c1">Next Steps </span></h3>
<p class="c49"><span class="c1">We think the</span><span class="c0"> architecture we</span><span class="c1">’ve </span><span class="c0">sketched </span><span class="c1">for PACT </span><span class="c0">has the right shape, but many of the details still need to be worked out</span><span class="c1"> and the entire system needs rigorous privacy and security analysis.</span></p>
<p class="c45"><span class="c0">We want to do that work in the open. The IETF is the natural venue for the cryptographic protocols underneath, and the W3C for the WebAPI surface that sits on top. </span><span class="c0">We’ll be </span><span class="c1">bringing</span><span class="c0"> </span><span class="c3 c1"><a class="c5" href="https://github.com/Moderation-of-unLinkable-Endorsements">draft specifications</a></span><span class="c1"> to these bodies as soon as they’re ready</span><span class="c0">, and we welcome collaborators from across the ecosystem: browser vendors, site operators, anti-abuse providers, and the cryptography community. </span></p>
<p class="c29"><span class="c0">If successful, we think we can provide a system which will keep the web open and </span><span class="c1">private</span><span class="c0">, while still giving sites the rate-limiting signal they need. </span></p>

<p>In this post we walk through what folks have found on their journey to learn the Rust programming language with ups and downs covered.</p>
<p>As a disclaimer, LLMs (Large Language Models) come up in this post because our interviewees brought them up. We're scoping discussion to their use as a learning tool, covering research and example generation, not broader questions about AI (Artificial Intelligence) in software development.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#many-paths-to-needing-rust"></a>
Many paths to needing Rust</h3>
<p>The interviews surfaced several different paths into Rust: curiosity, embedded work, job-market pressure, organizational adoption, and reassignment after a team or company chose Rust. That last path matters because many learners are not evaluating Rust from a blank slate; they are trying to become productive after Rust has already arrived in their work.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Funny enough, I've advocated for more niche languages than Rust in the past. Rust has pretty much stopped being as much of a niche language as it was, but it's not Java." -- Fractional CTO</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#rust-learning-resources"></a>
Rust learning resources</h3>
<p>Likely as expected, the folks that we talked to reach for a range of resources to learn Rust. Some reach for official documentation, such as <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/" rel="external">The Rust Programming Language Book</a> and find that sufficient to build on what the compiler was already showing them.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I started with the official Rust documentation because there are a lot of great examples of how features like the borrow checker work." -- Software engineer at an Automotive supplier</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Others needed more passes and more formats, sometimes reaching for resources the community maintains, such as <a href="https://rustlings.rust-lang.org/" rel="external">Rustlings</a>, <a href="https://danielkeep.github.io/tlborm/book/index.html" rel="external">The Little Book of Rust Macros</a>, and <a href="https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/" rel="external">Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"The first time I went through the chapter in [The Rust Programming Language] on borrow checking, I was like, what is this? I read it again, then I watched a YouTube video of someone explaining the chapter." -- Rust freelance consultant</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"Rust book, Rustlings, Zero to Production in Rust, Jon Gjengset tutorials. A bunch of books. It's not a one-pass reading. Can't say how many times I've gone through it." -- Software engineer working on video streaming and storage</p>
</blockquote>
<p>These resources have brought up an entire generation of Rust programmers. But, to some, there is a perception that these resources have trouble keeping pace with the language.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"We'd like to use [The Rust Programming Language/'the book'], but we've found that it's out of date, unfortunately. We've looked at the GitHub repo and found it's got a lot of unresolved issues and unmerged PRs" -- Principal Software Engineering work on Rust adoption in a regulated industry</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Whether or not this is factually true, Rust's growth has nonetheless put more scrutiny on these materials. Companies evaluating adoption and engineers getting reassigned to Rust teams are looking at them with fresh eyes and finding the gaps that affect their own evaluation.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#beginner-stumblings-and-unlearning-habits"></a>
Beginner stumblings and unlearning habits</h3>
<p>It's pretty typical for Rust to be the 2nd, 3rd or Nth programming language that someone picks up. They'd end up writing their most familiar language in Rust, whether C++ patterns, Java patterns, or whatever they knew, for months or even years. Eventually they got comfortable enough to start writing idiomatic Rust.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"There's a bit of a drop in productivity compared to C if you're already familiar with it just because you're learning new rules, new syntax."  -- Principal Firmware Engineer (mobile robotics)</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"In the beginning it was more poking around the code and adding and removing some ampersands and asterisks to try to make sense of <code>mut</code> and not <code>mut</code> and whatever." -- Senior engineer with 20 years of Java experience in cloud and IoT</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We also spoke with someone who found that not having much of a programming background seemed to benefit people picking up Rust. Not having worn-in grooves from other languages may play a role here, and it's worth investigating further.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I had someone who had never programmed much before start working on the internals of [our Rust project]. She was just fine with getting into Rust. It's more of the senior people that struggle as they need to unlearn practices which may work in other languages, but it's not the 'Rust' way." -- Researcher, Automotive OEM R&amp;D Lab</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#learning-to-work-with-the-borrow-checker"></a>
Learning to work with the borrow checker</h3>
<p>We heard a lot about learning to work with the borrow checker instead of against it. People get there through different paths, but a few patterns came up repeatedly.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#the-compiler-as-teacher"></a>
The compiler as teacher</h4>
<p>Rust's diagnostics did the teaching on their own, especially around lifetimes.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"If you mess up the lifetimes in a piece of code that you've written by hand, I usually find that Rust's diagnostics are very helpful" -- Researcher working on static analysis of Rust programs</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"Whatever's missing, the compiler usually fills in: it tells me 'you need to declare the lifetime of this reference', so I know and can figure it out. That all generally works pretty well." -- Senior Software Engineer</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#learning-by-doing"></a>
Learning by doing</h4>
<p>Others felt like they only really internalized the borrow checker after writing a lot of Rust. It took projects, coding challenges, prototyping and so on until at some point it clicked.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I actually did not understand the borrow checker until I spent a lot of time writing Rust" -- Founder of a startup built on Rust</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"Besides the prototyping work, I also did coding-challenge-type stuff to get familiar with Rust for Advent of Code. [..] It eventually clicked to the point where I wasn't fighting with Rust, it was working for me. I had that experience other people describe: when I managed to get my program to fit with Rust, it worked. I didn't spend time debugging." -- Principal Software Engineer, large SaaS provider</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#letting-go-of-clone-guilt"></a>
Letting go of "clone guilt"</h4>
<p>Some learners arrive with the assumption that good Rust means zero clones, zero copies, lifetimes threaded through everything. They set the bar at optimal before they've learned how to write idiomatic Rust, and it makes the borrow checker feel harder than it needs to be at the outset.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"On one of my first projects, I was like, 'I don't ever want to copy or clone anything,' so I carefully wove through all the lifetimes and got myself into a bit of a bind. Then I saw someone else just cloning the struct I was working with, and it was super cheap. Sometimes you can just clone and it's going to be okay." -- Researcher at a university</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The experienced Rust developers we spoke with consistently said the same thing: clone freely while you're learning, then optimize when you understand the problem. Rust's reputation for performance and correctness feeds this. Newcomers assume anything less than optimal is wrong before they've written a first working program, and clone guilt is how that shows up.</p>
<p>We think it could be an interesting area of future study to check into the patterns Rust programmers employ at different levels of experience and under which circumstances. One member of the Rust Vision doc team that's very experienced with Rust noted that there's kind of an "expected shape" they understand as passing the compiler. This knowledge influences how they approach writing code which wouldn't take that shape and they naturally find themselves understanding when to use so-called workarounds, such as passing around indices into arrays or <code>Vec</code>s.</p>

Multi-paradigm, but not the OOP some are used to</h3>
<p>The Rust programming language is multi-paradigm, and how that lands depends on what you're coming from. We heard some that came from a functional background were delighted with digging into learning how much Rust inherits from that lineage. Some others noted that they and others on their teams struggled to unlearn the object-oriented style they'd come to use heavily in other languages like C++ and Java.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Developers coming from C++ tend to think object-oriented. I think that's a difference between C++ and Rust." -- Architect at Automotive OEM</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"I had exactly that thing, where I would apply all my years of Java and JS thinking, where I could just create some object, not care about it, return it, have it sloshing around between various functions. Found myself reaching for these patterns and then being told 'no, you cannot do that'." -- Principal Engineer at a SaaS company</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Developers coming from functional programming had less to unlearn: strong typing, pattern matching, and an expression-oriented style were already familiar.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"My background has been more functional programming, strong typing. That originated for me as a Lisper: once a Lisper, always a Lisper." -- Principal Software Engineer working on Rust tooling for safety-regulated industries</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"The languages I primarily used before Rust were things like OCaml. Way back, I came from C and C++, the classic languages, and then I spent quite a long time doing primarily pure functional stuff. These days I've ended up back in what I like to think of as a pragmatic center ground [with Rust]." -- Fractional CTO</p>

Teaching Rust in academia</h3>
<p>We spoke with a university professor that's been teaching Rust generally. In the academic environment, they were able to use proxies for some things such as "traits are like interfaces in Java" because the students had already gone through a set of courses in their first and second years that taught them Java. They introduced concepts slowly throughout the course, choosing to deal with some more complex topics like generics later. The outcome generally was that students had no problem picking up Rust in this setting.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I couldn't see any big difference on the embedded side. We also teach an embedded class, and we did an experiment. Half of the students' feedback was worse on the Rust class, mostly because they needed to build the project themselves. The C students just got one from [an LLM], absolutely no problem." -- University Professor, on teaching Rust</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The C cohort leaned on LLMs for the project in ways the Rust cohort couldn't. We don't yet have a clear answer for why.</p>
<p>What did come through clearly was the Rust cohort's experience with the community. Some students needed to figure out which drivers to use for the embedded project and how to use them. Their professor encouraged them to open issues and ask questions directly on GitHub, and the maintainers responded. Students who had never contributed to open source before were getting answers from the people who wrote the code.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#learning-using-llms"></a>
Learning using LLMs</h3>
<p>Some experienced folks shared that they saw LLMs as a tool that can help someone come up to speed quickly, either as a research tool or for generating example Rust code to understand concepts.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I'm optimistic that there's a way to work [LLMs] in that will cut down that learning curve. One of the big things these tools bring is reducing the learning curve in general; these are very good tools to help you navigate a space that you don't know yet." -- Maintainer of large open source Rust crate</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"I try [LLMs] out once a month, usually for generating an example or something like this. Just like with Stack Overflow: when you read an example, you should read it carefully and try to understand it. Not copy and paste it, but type it in your own words in code and then check it, because that's where the teeny tiny little mistakes are." -- Founder of startup built on Rust</p>
</blockquote>
<p>For some learners, an LLM is just another way to find answers, no different than a search engine.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"So for the most part, picking up Rust - how do I learn? I'll [use web search for] things, I'll ask [an LLM], I'll just poke around and read the code." -- Senior Software Engineer working in a regulated space</p>
</blockquote>
<p>One founder went further and claimed that LLMs change who can become a Rust developer. One consulting company founder described hiring high school graduates with no systems programming background and training them as Rust developers, with LLMs filling in the learning gaps that would previously have required years of experience.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"At the beginning, I was worried, but now that we have [LLMs] supporting development, the difficulty of the language doesn't matter. I'm seeing a huge opportunity behind strong runtime languages like Rust. [..] In [Developing Country] we hire 20-25 high school graduates, train them to be Rust programmers, then they enhance our workforce worldwide." -- Founder of a consulting company</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We heard this from one organization. This is a claim that the combination of Rust's compiler and LLM tooling can dramatically shorten the path from beginner to working developer. Whether it generalizes depends on questions we can't answer from a single interview: how long these developers stay, what kind of code they can maintain independently, and whether this training/learning model works outside this company's particular structure. If it holds up, the pool of people who can become Rust developers is much larger than the usual hiring profile suggests.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#organizational-considerations-for-rust-learners"></a>
Organizational considerations for Rust learners</h3>
<p>We spoke with a number of folks on teams that are using Rust in larger organizations. Teams wanted to know that everyone would end up at roughly the same level of competence, which led a good number to invest in training courses to get there. Some leaders found that staff was able to ramp well enough by reading The Rust Programming Language, going through Rustlings, and then picking up lower risk and priority tickets to work on. Having a sense of community was also important within companies; it helps people know they are not alone when they are asked to work on Rust after, say, a reorganization happens.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"[..] the idea with the class as opposed to 'just read the Rust book on your own' was that this gives everyone kind of the same baseline going in."  -- Principal Firmware Engineer (mobile robotics)</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"So typically we're going to have people work through Rustlings, work through The Rust Programming Language. We have them then start to pick up lower risk tickets to work on." -- Principal Engineer at a large SaaS provider</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>"We've got an internal Slack channel for Rust learning where people can drop questions and others will come in and answer them. That helps build up understanding and community." -- Software Engineer at a large corporation</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Some organizations found that while the person they'd hire would need to learn Rust, it was still preferable to the alternative of hiring someone for a critical piece of software written in another language.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"They needed to grow and maintain this C++ codebase. They had a C++ wizard, and they tried for about two years to find someone with the same level of expertise. They ended up hiring people that didn't know Rust and ramping them up, creating FFI bindings from the C++ side so they could work in Rust. And you can feel it: the borrow checker is teaching these people the right way to handle their systems." -- Principal Engineer at an Automotive OEM</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The community and helping each other aspect seems to grow bonds as organizations mature.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Our team is [all about] mentorship. I've mentored people coming up to speed on Rust, and people help each other hugely." -- Principal Software Engineer at a large SaaS company</p>
</blockquote>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#silent-attrition"></a>
Silent attrition</h3>
<p>We identified some cases where people have approached Rust and bounced off of it, for one reason or another. In the below case, someone with a background in a language with fewer guardrails found themselves frustrated enough with Rust to walk away.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"All of that means that that embedded ecosystem is very frustrating to somebody who comes from C and is like, why can't I just get a pointer to this peripheral and then write into the registers. What are you doing to me? [..] My friend never got over that. He looked at it and said, I'm not going to deal with this and walked away." -– A second University Professor</p>
</blockquote>
<p>There may be language features that for a particular domain are not seen as comfortable or usable yet, such as async Rust usage in a safety domain. We'd like to map which language features feel off-limits in which domains; async in safety-critical work probably isn't the only case.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"We're not fully sure how async [Rust] will work out in the long run in our domain. [..] People don't feel comfortable yet since C++14 doesn't provide such concepts. [..] It's the chicken-and-egg problem again: we probably need to gain some experience to see whether we can actually benefit from these new concepts in the automotive and safety domains." -- Team Lead at Automotive Supplier (ASIL D target)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>We heard in at least one case, that while the language was challenging and there was a near bounce, the tooling helped keep them coming back and trying.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"Well, I think my early impressions of Rust - one is I find C++ so intimidating, and I think a big part of why I was able to succeed at [..] learning Rust is the tooling. I mean, all this makes sense [..] but it's like, for me, getting started with Rust, the language was challenging, but the tooling was incredibly easy." -- Founder of another startup built on Rust</p>
</blockquote>
<p>While it might be considered more of a community concern, if there are interactions online and in spaces that point to learners having
so-called "skill issues" this feeds into the narrative that Rust must be hard to learn. We may be unintentionally turning away Rust Project contributors and maintainers due to the vibes being put out when new learners show up in certain spaces.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"People are very helpful, but generally the attitude is: if your program is very complicated, it's mostly a skill issue. There's not that much empathy when people get stuck learning, and a lot of people are just pushed away by it. There's probably a huge number of people who silently stop wanting to write Rust, because at some point it gets complicated and the feedback they get is 'you just need to be a better programmer, obviously'." -- Software Engineer at a SaaS Provider</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#feedback-on-near-bounces-from-survey"></a>
Feedback on near-bounces from survey</h4>
<p>We found a few interesting perspectives collected in the Rust Vision doc survey which we administered with examples of bouncing and coming back:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>"I started before 1.0, got stuck very soon when trying to translate patterns from C++ to Rust (due to borrow checking). I tried again after 1.0 and it stuck. [..]" -- Survey Respondent A</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Survey Respondent A went on to share in a more detailed response about a perceived weakness in Rust learning materials related to lifetimes and the borrow checker are explained. There was an observation that it's fairly easy to run into more complex situations with lifetimes and the borrow checker. They felt that the current state of this sort of material and tutorials is fairly superficial and can leave learners stuck when they run into those more complex situations.</p>
<p>One respondent that bounced once and came back shared challenges around usage of async. In concert with Rust's memory-safety and the borrow checker, they found some of the nitty-gritty details of async were difficult to learn. While we're aware of the Rust Project's continuous efforts to improve Rust's async story, this is another data point of a user that faced challenges.</p>
<p>Another survey respondent shared how they had multiple times bounced in trying to learn Rust. They returned after a year or so and found Rustlings to be highly motivating. We note that having multiple pathways for folks to learn Rust opens up more possibilities for those that nearly bounced, just like this person.</p>

Need more focused work on silent attritrion</h4>
<p>The thing that stood out most to us was the lack of real, first-hand knowledge of having bounced when learning Rust. While this is an obvious effect of soliciting answers to our survey and opportunities to interview through Rust channels and our networks, this cohort is good future candidate where interviews could start.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#conclusions"></a>
Conclusions</h3>
<p>Across these conversations, the experience of learning Rust depended heavily on context. Why someone was learning and what support they had mattered as much as the borrow checker. The same kinds of examples kept coming up: a training course that got a team to a shared baseline, a maintainer answering a student's first GitHub issue, and a colleague whose code showed that cloning was okay.</p>
<p>That context is largely something the community has a hand in. With that in mind, here is what we take away from what we heard, and what we still don't know.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#what-seems-worth-trying"></a>
What seems worth trying</h4>
<p><strong>Learning materials aimed at unlearning.</strong> Syntax barely came up when people described their struggles. People struggled with unlearning habits from previous languages, whether OOP structuring from C++ and Java or the instinct to grab a raw pointer to a peripheral. Most of our learning materials teach Rust from first principles, and that works. What we didn't come across is much written for, say, the engineer with ten years of Java who lands on a Rust team after a reorg: material that names the patterns they'll reach for that won't transfer, and shows what to do instead. The professor we spoke with did a version of this in the classroom, leaning on "traits are like interfaces in Java" and saving generics for later in the course, and the students did fine. Something similar could work outside the classroom too.</p>
<p><strong>Put the "clone freely while you're learning" advice somewhere official.</strong> Every experienced developer we spoke with gave the same advice, but learners seem to mostly pick it up by accident, like the researcher who happened to see someone else cloning the struct they had been carefully threading lifetimes through. Saying it early in official materials would take some of the steepness out of the curve. The broader version belongs there too: idiomatic Rust doesn't have to mean optimal Rust, especially on a first project.</p>
<p><strong>Diagnostics are already a primary learning resource: several people told us the compiler taught them lifetimes before any documentation did.</strong> Diagnostics reach learners right at the moment they're stuck. When writing new ones, it seems worth keeping the confused newcomer in mind alongside the expert, because for a lot of people this is where the learning happens.</p>
<p><strong>Is "the book" actually out of date?</strong> Whether or not The Rust Programming Language or other materials are actually behind, a team evaluating Rust looked at its repository, saw unresolved issues and unmerged PRs, and moved on. As more companies evaluate adoption, more people will look at these materials with the same fresh eyes. Visible issue triage and some communication about what's current and what's planned would address the perception, separately from whatever content work may or may not be needed.</p>
<p><strong>How stuck learners get treated is shaping who stays.</strong> We heard about students getting answers on GitHub from the maintainers who wrote the code, and we heard about learners being told their struggles were a skill issue. The first group came away with a lasting good impression of Rust. Some of the second group walked away entirely, and because they leave quietly, it's easy to underestimate how many of them there are. The welcoming side of the community came up unprompted as a reason people stayed, so we know it makes a difference when we get this right.</p>
<p><strong>Every organization we spoke with described essentially the same ramp-up for bringing a team to Rust.</strong> Teams that brought groups of developers to Rust described roughly the same approach: get everyone to a shared baseline with a training course or with The Rust Programming Language and Rustlings, start people on lower-risk tickets, and give them somewhere internal to ask questions. Several organizations also found that hiring developers without Rust experience and ramping them up worked out better than continuing to search for rare expertise in another language. None of this is complicated, and teams weighing adoption don't need to invent a training program from scratch.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/06/25/vision-doc-journeys-to-learning-rust/#what-we-still-don-t-know"></a>
What we still don't know</h4>
<p>The biggest gap is the people we didn't reach. Nearly everyone we spoke with stuck with Rust long enough to be reachable through Rust channels, so the stories of bouncing off came to us second-hand: a friend who walked away from embedded Rust, colleagues who quietly stopped after the responses they got. As we wrote in <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/12/03/lessons-learned-from-the-rust-vision-doc-process/" rel="external">our first post</a>, finding people who decided against Rust takes targeted outreach. If the proposed User Research team comes together, talking with learners who bounced would make a good early project, and learning is probably the area where that research would teach us the most.</p>
<p>We also don't know what to make of LLMs as a learning tool yet. They came up as a search engine, as an example generator, and in one organization's case as something that makes training high school graduates into working Rust developers possible. We saw a classroom where the C cohort leaned on LLMs in ways the Rust cohort couldn't, and we don't have an explanation for it. All of this comes from a handful of conversations, so we treat it as a set of leads to follow up on. Given how quickly the tools are changing, it seems better to study this deliberately than to wait and see what folklore develops.</p>
<p>The folks we spoke with showed that people do get there: with enough passes through the materials and enough code written, it eventually clicks. The opportunities above are mostly about making it work for the people who didn't pick Rust on purpose, and for the ones who would have stuck around if their early experience had gone a little differently.</p>]]></content:encoded>

What's in 1.97.0 stable</h3>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/09/Rust-1.97.0/#symbol-mangling-v0-enabled-by-default"></a>
Symbol mangling v0 enabled by default</h4>
<p>When Rust is compiled into object files and binaries, each item (functions,
statics, etc) must have a globally unique "symbol" identifying it. To avoid
conflicts when linking together different Rust programs, Rust mangles the
original name of items to include additional context such as the module path,
defining crate, generics, and more. Historically, this mangling was based on
the <a href="https://refspecs.linuxbase.org/cxxabi-1.86.html#mangling" rel="external">Itanium ABI</a>,
also (sometimes) used by C++.</p>
<p>The new mangling scheme resolves a number of drawbacks from the previous one:</p>
<ul>
<li>Generic parameter instantiations preserve their values, rather than being tracked solely behind a hash</li>
<li>Inconsistencies: not all parts used the Itanium ABI, meaning that custom demangling was still necessary</li>
</ul>
<p>Since Rust 1.59, the compiler has supported opting into a Rust-specific
mangling scheme via <code>-Csymbol-mangling-version=v0</code>. Since November 2025, this
scheme has been enabled by default on nightly, and 1.97 is now enabling it on
stable Rust. The legacy mangling scheme can only be enabled on nightly, and the
current plan is to fully remove it.</p>
<p>See the previous <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/11/20/switching-to-v0-mangling-on-nightly/" rel="external">blog post</a> for more details.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/09/Rust-1.97.0/#cargo-support-for-denying-warnings"></a>
Cargo support for denying warnings</h4>
<p>It's common practice to deny warnings in CI. Historically, doing so is
typically done through <code>RUSTFLAGS=-Dwarnings</code>. With Rust 1.97, Cargo controls
how warnings interact with build success: either silencing them (via <code>allow</code>
level), rendering without failing (default, <code>warn</code>), or denying them (via <code>deny</code>).</p>
<p>As a  result of Cargo configuration determining the behavior, using this
feature doesn't invalidate the underlying build cache, meaning that it's easy
to temporarily opt-in. For example, if warnings are adding unwanted noise while
working through fixing errors after a refactor, you can run
<code>CARGO_BUILD_WARNINGS=allow cargo check</code>, temporarily silencing them.</p>
<p>In CI, jobs can instead set <code>CARGO_BUILD_WARNINGS=deny</code> to deny warnings. This
can be combined with <code>--keep-going</code> to collect all errors and warnings rather
than stopping on the first failing package.</p>
<p>See the <a href="https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#buildwarnings" rel="external">documentation</a> for more details.</p>
<h4><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/09/Rust-1.97.0/#linker-output-no-longer-hidden-by-default"></a>
Linker output no longer hidden by default</h4>
<p>rustc invokes a linker on behalf of users. Historically, rustc has silenced
linker output by default if the link completes successfully. This can mask real
problems, though, so in Rust 1.97 we are enabling linker messages by default.
These are emitted as a warning lint, for example:</p>
<pre class="giallo z-code"><code><span class="giallo-l"><span>warning: linker stderr: ignoring deprecated linker optimization setting '1'</span></span>
<span class="giallo-l"><span>  |</span></span>
<span class="giallo-l"><span>  = note: `#[warn(linker_messages)]` on by default</span></span></code></pre>
<p>Common linker messages that have been diagnosed as false positives or intentional behavior
are filtered out by rustc. Several defects have already been fixed as a result
of no longer hiding this output on nightly.</p>
<p>Note that currently, <code>linker_messages</code> is a special lint that is <em>not</em> affected
by the <code>warnings</code> lint group. This is intentional as rustc generally doesn't
control linker output as precisely, and it's not uncommon for output to only
appear on some platforms. If you are seeing what you think is a false positive
output from the linker, please <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/new/choose" rel="external">file an issue</a>.</p>
<p>To silence the warning in the mean time, you can configure the lint level to

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Another six months have passed since our <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/01/21/crates-io-development-update/" rel="external">last development update</a>, and the crates.io team has been busy. Here's a summary of the most notable changes and improvements made to <a href="https://crates.io/" rel="external">crates.io</a> since then.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#source-code-viewer"></a>
Source Code Viewer</h3>
<p>Crate pages now have a "Code" tab that lets you browse the contents of published crate versions directly on crates.io. This shows you the exact files that <code>cargo</code> downloads when you add a crate as a dependency, which might differ from the linked repository. This makes it much easier to audit your dependencies, including files that never appear in the repository, like the normalized <code>Cargo.toml</code> files that <code>cargo</code> generates.</p>
<p><img alt='Source code viewer showing the "Code" tab of the serde crate' src="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/code-tab.png"></p>
<p>The viewer comes with a file tree sidebar with search functionality, syntax highlighting, and GitHub-style line selection, where clicking or dragging line numbers produces shareable <code>#L10-L20</code> URLs.</p>
<p>Under the hood, the server now builds a zip file for every published version. Since the <code>.crate</code> files that <code>cargo</code> consumes are gzipped tarballs without random access support, a background job re-packs each of them into a seekable zip archive plus a JSON manifest describing the contained files. Both are served from our static CDN. The frontend then fetches only the manifest and loads each file on demand with an HTTP range request. Because of this architecture, browsing crate sources essentially adds no load on the crates.io API servers. Existing crate versions have been backfilled, so this works for old releases too.</p>
<p>The rendering library behind the code viewer is a diff renderer at heart, and that's no accident: a version-to-version diff viewer built on the same infrastructure is currently in the works. This will allow you to review exactly what changed between two published versions, right on crates.io. Stay tuned!</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#untangling-crates-io-accounts-from-github"></a>
Untangling crates.io Accounts from GitHub</h3>
<p>At the end of May, the crates.io team accepted <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3946" rel="external">RFC #3946</a>. Crates.io accounts always have been tightly coupled to GitHub: signing in means "Log in with GitHub", and your crates.io identity is your GitHub username. The RFC changes that. It introduces usernames that are native to crates.io and independent of linked GitHub accounts, as a prerequisite for eventually supporting login via other identity providers.</p>
<p>The implementation of crates.io usernames has started, but there is still a lot left to do, most visibly the ability to change your crates.io username. After that is complete, there will be future RFCs and implementation for signing in with identity providers other than GitHub. Since all of this touches authentication and account security, we are deliberately taking it slow and rolling these changes out in small, carefully reviewed steps.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#advisories-and-suggestions"></a>
Advisories and Suggestions</h3>
<p>In our <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/01/21/crates-io-development-update/" rel="external">January update</a> we introduced the "Security" tab, which shows security advisories from the <a href="https://rustsec.org/" rel="external">RustSec</a> database. We have since taken this integration one step further: crates that RustSec has flagged as unmaintained now show a warning banner directly on their crate pages, linking to the corresponding advisory for details and possible alternatives. Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/djc" rel="external">Dirkjan Ochtman</a> for implementing this feature!</p>
<p><img alt="Unmaintained warning banner on the ansi_term crate page" src="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/unmaintained-banner.png"></p>
<p>Related to this, some popular crates have been largely absorbed into the Rust standard library over the years, like <code>lazy_static</code>, which has been superseded by <code>std::sync::LazyLock</code> since Rust 1.80. Crate pages of such crates now show a friendly "You might not need this dependency" banner describing the standard library replacement, and superseded crates in dependency lists get a small light bulb icon with a similar hint.</p>
<p><img alt='"You might not need this dependency" banner on the lazy_static crate page' src="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/std-replacement-banner.png"></p>
<p>The dataset behind this feature lives in the new <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/std-replacement-data" rel="external">rust-lang/std-replacement-data</a> repository, together with a documented inclusion policy: standard library replacements only, every entry must cite the stable <code>std</code>, <code>core</code>, or <code>alloc</code> API and Rust version, and crate maintainers get a notice-and-comment window before an entry is added. New entries can be proposed upstream and can benefit other tools too.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#ferris"></a>
Ferris</h3>
<p>The most delightful change of this cycle: the Ferris on our error pages now follows your mouse cursor with its eyes:</p>
<p><img alt="Ferris' eyes following the mouse cursor on the error page" src="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/ferris.gif"></p>
<p>Getting a 404 error on crates.io is now slightly less sad.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#svelte-frontend-migration-completed"></a>
Svelte Frontend Migration Completed</h3>
<p>In our <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/01/21/crates-io-development-update/" rel="external">January update</a>, we announced that we were experimenting with porting the crates.io frontend from Ember.js to <a href="https://svelte.dev/" rel="external">Svelte</a>. This experiment has concluded successfully: the new frontend reached feature parity, went through a <a href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2026/04/17/crates-io-svelte-public-testing/" rel="external">public testing phase</a> in April, became the default at the beginning of May, and the Ember.js app has been removed from our repository.</p>
<p>We designed this change to be invisible for our users, since the new frontend is a 1:1 port of the previous design and functionality. For the team and our contributors, however, it is a big deal: the frontend is now built on a more modern framework, which should make it easier for new contributors to get started. It also allows us to iterate faster, as the source code viewer above demonstrates.</p>
<p>We want to thank the <a href="https://emberjs.com/teams/" rel="external">Ember.js team</a> for a framework that served crates.io well for many years, and the Svelte team for making the transition so enjoyable.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" href="https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/07/13/crates-io-development-update/#miscellaneous"></a>
Miscellaneous</h3>
<p>These were some of the more visible changes to crates.io over the past six months, but a lot has happened "under the hood" as well:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Search performance</strong>: Relevance-sorted search queries previously ranked every crate matching the query, which could take 1-2 seconds for short or common search terms. Ranking is now bounded to the 1,000 matching crates with the highest recent download counts.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Reverse dependencies performance</strong>: The reverse dependencies endpoint no longer recomputes the full dependent set on every request. It is now served from a precomputed table kept in sync by database triggers, turning an expensive join into a bounded index scan and greatly reducing the chance of getting a timeout error.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>New ARCHITECTURE.md</strong>: If you've ever wondered how crates.io actually works, our <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/blob/main/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md" rel="external"><code>ARCHITECTURE.md</code></a> document got a complete rewrite. It is now organized around the high-level systems that make up crates.io and how they fit together, and includes walkthroughs of what happens when you run <code>cargo publish</code>, why a typical crate download never touches our API servers, and how download counts are derived from CDN access logs.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Definition lists</strong>: READMEs now render Markdown <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/pull/13950" rel="external">definition lists</a>, a widely used Markdown extension. Our markdown renderer <a href="https://crates.io/crates/comrak" rel="external">comrak</a> already supported them, the extension just wasn't enabled yet. Thanks to <a href="https://github.com/mistaste" rel="external">@mistaste</a> for this contribution!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>CDN cache tags</strong>: Files uploaded to our static CDN now carry cache-tag metadata, allowing us to invalidate all cached files of a crate or a specific release in a single operation, instead of issuing one invalidation per file URL.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Caching improvements</strong>: We removed a global <code>Vary: Cookie</code> response header that was preventing our CDNs from caching public API responses and frontend assets effectively. Per-user responses now use <code>Cache-Control: no-store</code> instead, resulting in better cache hit rates at the CDN edge.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Accessibility</strong>: We have made crates.io friendlier to screen readers: decorative icons are now hidden from the accessibility tree, heading hierarchies have been fixed, and lists are marked up as proper lists. ARIA snapshot tests now ensure that regressions can't slip in unnoticed. We plan to continue to improve crates.io accessibility over the coming months.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Git index performance</strong>: The background worker's local clone of the git index is now a bare and shallow repository, eliminating roughly 250,000 checked-out files and the full commit history from its disk, improving its performance as we see increased rates of crate publication. The periodic index squashing now goes through the GitHub API instead of generating large git packs locally, which had previously caused out-of-memory failures on the production worker.</p>
</li>
</ul>

Tesla’s Optimus AI robot can now walk short distances by itself, carry an object of its arm&#039;s size, and use basic tools with the help of artificial intelligence. CACTI from Meta AI consists of four stages that handle data collection, data augmentation, visual representation learning, and imitation policy training separately to enable scalability in robot learning. <br />

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Agentic AI has advanced from the promises-and-pilots phase of 2025 to reality and rollouts in 2026. In the process, agentic AI is transforming virtually every aspect of <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/272365/what-is-crm-software-for-managing-customer-data.html">customer relationship management (CRM)</a>, the platform that manages sales, marketing, and customer service.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Last year, everybody was dipping their toes into the water,” says <a href="https://futurumgroup.com/keith-kirkpatrick/">Keith Kirkpatrick</a>, research director at The Futurum Group. This year, agentic AI has built momentum from the boardroom down, with companies recognizing that having an AI strategy is imperative. “They feel like if they don’t embrace it now, their competitors will.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.deloitte.com/global/en/about/people/profiles.gx-harry-datwani+f20748dc.html">Harry Datwani</a>, a principal at Deloitte Digital, adds that enterprise CRM customers have transitioned from “proof of concept” to “scale and execution.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Across sales, service, marketing, even in the commerce space, enterprises are really using AI and agentic,” he says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“CRM in 2026 is undergoing a structural shift, not just an incremental evolution,” says Forrester analyst <a href="https://www.forrester.com/analyst-bio/kate-leggett/BIO2629">Kate Leggett</a>, noting that AI is becoming a core part of CRM infrastructure, not just a feature or an add-on. According to Forrester data, around 70% of companies are already using AI in their CRM systems, she says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here are the hot AI-driven trends in CRM this year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CRM becomes an action hero</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">CRM platforms have traditionally served as passive, static systems of record. Now, agentic AI is transforming CRM into a powerful, real-time solution that can act autonomously.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Organizations that rethink CRM as a real-time, AI-powered system of action — and embrace agentic AI to handle complex, unpredictable work — are better positioned to deliver exceptional customer experiences,” says IDC analyst <a href="https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=PRF005191">Neil Ward-Dutton</a>. “This approach not only enhances satisfaction and loyalty but also drives operational efficiency and business agility.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Forrester’s Leggett says that AI-powered CRM platforms have advanced from simple data capture to real-time decision-making and execution. Standard capabilities include next-best action recommendations, call summaries, automated updates, generated emails, knowledge creation, predictive forecasting, and deal scoring.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She adds that AI agents can now execute workflows, such as routing cases, sending follow-ups, and updating records (with human oversight). They can also handle end-to-end service and sales tasks autonomously, including case resolutions and sales development activities.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Agentic drives workforce changes</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI use in CRM systems is also impacting workforce strategies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We used to hire for deep expertise,” says Constellation Research analyst <a href="https://www.constellationr.com/user/liz-miller">Liz Miller</a>. “AI has commoditized expertise because I can take all that data from my CRM and train my AI models to go deep, to know everything about any product I’ve ever sold, from what has worked, what hasn’t, every price, every sale.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now, instead of hiring candidates with deep expertise, organizations are looking for candidates who can go wide. “I can train a model to have deep expertise. What I can’t train for is experience, because experience is what happens when a person has gone broad across a lot of different scenarios and faced complexity across that broad scenario,” says Miller.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, AI systems can automate many aspects of marketing, Miller notes, but there’s no substitute for creativity: people who can interrogate the data and come up with innovative marketing campaigns that connect with customers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.servicenow.com/workflow/author/terence-chesire.html">Terence Chesire</a>, group vice president of ServiceNow CRM and industry workflows, says that organizations are using agentic AI to free up team members from repetitive, lower-value activities. Those employees have now moved to higher-level roles “where they’re working on transformational deals rather than just building a spreadsheet.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“That’s what we’re seeing as super-exciting as organizations not just free up people, but the speed and effort reduction and the friction reduction in what they can do,” he adds.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Data layer takes center stage</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI’s promise to deliver actionable customer and marketing intelligence has placed even greater emphasis on the importance on sound data management practices for CRM.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The light bulb has flashed on very brightly for our clients,” says Deloitte’s Datwani. “Everyone is talking about AI agents, but your ability to really extract value is inextricably linked to the quality of your data and the ability to make that data accessible. What we’re finding is that despite large investments over time our clients still have fragmented data. And so, they are data rich and insight poor.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The good news, says Datwani, is that AI agents themselves can <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/2140371/gen-ai-can-be-the-answer-to-your-data-problems-but-not-all-of-them.html">help clean up and organize data</a>. And vendors such as <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4030966/snowflake-and-databricks-vie-for-the-heart-of-enterprise-ai.html">Snowflake and Databricks</a>, along with the traditional CRM powerhouses, are offering powerful data analytics solutions. “Everyone is battling for that data layer,” Datwani says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Forrester’s Leggett adds that CRM platforms are converging with <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/308839/top-8-customer-data-platforms.html">customer data platforms (CDPs)</a>, real-time event streams, and external data sources to create connected customer data networks. These real-time, connected data models can help organizations deliver hyper-personalization at scale.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Agentic ushers in pricing complexity</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The shift from license- or subscription-based pricing to an <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3624540/how-will-ai-agents-be-priced-cios-need-to-pay-attention.html">outcome or consumption pricing model</a> has the potential to help CIOs tie their CRM costs to specific business metrics, such as the number of customer service calls resolved per hour. But it has also introduced a <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4184688/it-hurtles-toward-the-great-enterprise-pricing-reset.html">new level of complexity</a> when it comes to budgeting for CRM costs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, Chesire says ServiceNow’s CRM pricing plan starts with a baseline subscription model, and on top of that, customers get a certain number of AI tokens per user and can buy additional tokens as AI usage ramps up.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, Salesforce has <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4189183/salesforce-unveils-ai-help-agent-with-pay-per-resolution-pricing.html">rolled out pay-per-resolution pricing</a> with its recently unveiled AI Help Agent and last month <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4183667/salesforce-to-acquire-usage-based-billing-specialist-m3ter.html">acquired usage-based billing specialist m3ter</a>. Oracle is also <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4184271/oracle-wades-into-outcome-based-ai-billing-waters.html">piloting outcome-based AI pricing</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All these approaches undercut the predictability of the subscription model, which will complicate CIOs’ cost calculus, Deloitte’s Datwani says. “Now, as you start to think about consumption and tokens, costs might look different. As folks are opening up the architecture with things like headless CRM, what will the cost model look like for API calls or MCP server calls? So, there’s many more variables,” he adds.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The rise of multi-agent orchestration</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To act autonomously, agents need to access multiple data sets and software platforms seamlessly. As a result, the proliferation of agents, some embedded within specific vendor platforms and some created in-house, is going to require an orchestration layer, Futurum’s Kirkpatrick says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He points out that organizations need to monitor and manage agents, enforcing the same type of policy-based access control that exists for people. Organizations also need to set limits on what domains a specific agent can get into, what types of data they can access, what lines can’t they cross.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kirkpatrick predicts that a <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4138739/21-agent-orchestration-tools-for-managing-your-ai-fleet.html">new class of orchestration tools</a> will emerge, although it’s not clear whether that orchestration layer will be provided by the leading CRM vendors, hyperscalers, or third parties.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Datwani agrees. “The orchestration layer is an interesting area, where the traditional vendors are in on it, the hyperscalers are also offering it, and there are third parties. It’s my belief that there’s not going to be a clear winner.”<em></em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The interface becomes conversational</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enterprise users who have traditionally had to manually wrangle with CRM systems are likely to find the ability to employ voice commands using a natural language interface to be a game changer. For starters, a salesperson can say, “I have a meeting today with Customer X. Help me prepare.” The agent will collect relevant data, ingest it, and provide a summary with recommendations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">ServiceNow’s Chesire says voice-enabled CRM systems have an “almost magical” ability to record, transcribe, and understand the content of a call between a salesperson and a customer or potential customer. The system can then “build a quote” based on that conversation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the customer service side of the equation, AI-driven voice technology enables customers to speak to an AI agent, describe the problem using natural language, and get a response. The agent has the capability to, for example, solve a credit card dispute, order a replacement product, send out a service rep, or do whatever is needed to resolve the issue, says Chesire.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Beyond that, agentic technology is capable of understanding the underlying business process flaws that led to the product snafu, and make recommendations for ways to fix whatever led to the issue in the first place, he adds.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Agentic drives business process transformation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With the emergence of outcome-based pricing, organizations are taking a fresh look at how they measure the benefits of CRM systems. That conversation is leading to an even more important analysis of underlying business processes. Or, as Constellation’s Miller says, “The old adage of applying new technology to old processes only gets you more expensive old processes.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“When we survey customers, we hear time and time again that the reason why they want to apply AI into their organizations is to foster exponential opportunity and exponential growth,” she says. “How do we get there with CRM has started to become the new conversation.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Miller, AI systems breach the walls of siloed data and can take a fresh look at legacy workflows. They also don’t get sucked into turf wars between marketing and sales teams. As a result, they often recommend new actions that can lead to better processes. “I think it’s starting to happen. You’re starting to see applications where AI is beginning to accelerate decision-making and decision velocity,” she says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The next phase of maturity is going to be, how do we start to spread AI across our platforms so that we are seeing that holistic end-to-end relationship that we have always wanted to optimize. How do we thread that across platforms and across solutions. We’re starting to see organizations on the leading edge really start to pull those strategies together,” says Miller.</p>

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For years, I have been saying that cybersecurity is no longer a technology problem. It has become a business leadership challenge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet, despite record levels of spending, ever-growing security teams, increasingly sophisticated technologies and a constant stream of new regulations, organizations continue to suffer major cyber incidents with alarming regularity. Every week seems to bring news of another ransomware attack, supply chain compromise or data breach affecting organizations that many would have assumed were well protected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The obvious conclusion is that we are asking the wrong questions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Too many executive teams remain preoccupied with the latest threat actor, the newest security product the CISO wants to buy or the latest vulnerability making headlines. Those issues matter, but they are not what should be keeping CEOs awake at night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In my view, there are three far more fundamental issues that deserve the attention of every chief executive.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Corporate complexity, and the widening gap between business leadership and cybersecurity reality</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps the biggest cybersecurity risk facing large organizations today is not technical at all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is the growing disconnect between executive perception and operational reality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many boards genuinely believe their organizations are reasonably well protected. They receive regular dashboards showing improving maturity scores, increasing compliance levels, falling vulnerability counts and reassuring traffic-light reports.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately, cyber attackers do not read dashboards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behind those executive reports often lies an increasingly complex technology landscape, thousands of unmanaged digital assets, ageing infrastructure, rampant shadow IT, fragmented ownership, inconsistent governance and security teams struggling to keep pace with relentless business change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The problem is rarely a lack of effort.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is that corporate complexity has reached a level where traditional governance mechanisms are no longer capable of providing an accurate picture of organizational resilience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Executives believe they understand the level of cyber risk they face because they receive regular reports. Those reports often measure activity rather than resilience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Governance committees end up debating around another percentage point of phishing awareness or vulnerability remediation, while fundamental issues remain unaddressed in the background.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Organizational inertia, and the need for executive structure to evolve faster</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cyber criminals continue to evolve rapidly. Large organizations generally do not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the second issue that should concern every CEO.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout my career, I have observed organizations repeatedly responding to new cyber threats by adding another technology platform, another monitoring capability, another compliance framework or another governance committee.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Very rarely do they stop to redesign how cybersecurity operates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The result is what I described several years ago as the “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cybersecurity-Spiral-Failure-How-Break/dp/1637353057/">Cybersecurity Spiral of Failure</a>”.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>As complexity and regulation increase, organizations invest in more security products.</li>



<li>More products create more complexity.</li>



<li>More products and greater complexity generate more alerts.</li>



<li>More alerts require more analysts.</li>



<li>More analysts produce more reports.</li>



<li>More reports continue to build up executive confidence.</li>



<li>Meanwhile, the underlying structural weaknesses remain largely unchanged, technical debt piles up and costs escalate.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And when the inevitable breach eventually happens, reality reveals itself, but distrust also sets in between senior executives and security teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not a funding problem. Nor is it a skills problem. It is fundamentally an operating model problem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many organizations continue trying to solve twenty-first century challenges using governance, accountability, organizational and reporting structures designed twenty-five years ago.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cybersecurity function itself has evolved dramatically. Many executive structures have not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This organizational inertia extends beyond technology: It affects budgeting cycles, <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4193990/reallocating-cybersecurity-capital-in-the-mythos-era.html">investment priorities</a>, procurement processes, accountability models and decision-making speed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cyber attackers innovate every day. Organizational change often takes years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That imbalance should worry every CEO.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Accelerating technological disruption, and how it challenges organizations in areas where they are intrinsically weak</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The third issue is potentially the most significant over the coming decade.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Artificial intelligence, autonomous agents and machine identities</li>



<li>Software supply chain complexity.</li>



<li>Quantum computing, and post-quantum cryptography</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each of these developments represents far more than another technical trend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, they fundamentally change the dynamics of cybersecurity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artificial intelligence is transforming countless business processes. At the same time, it is also increasing both the speed and sophistication of cyber-attacks while simultaneously transforming defensive capabilities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Organizations have become increasingly dependent on software ecosystems that extend far beyond their own direct control. Engaging with the supply chain in ways that lead to a genuine appreciation of the risks involved has become a key challenge for most cybersecurity practices.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quantum computing may eventually invalidate much of today’s cryptographic algorithms, forcing organizations into one of the largest technology efforts since Y2K — but without the benefit of a fixed deadline and faced by a problem that is considerably more complex and hyperconnected IT estates that have little to do with those of the late 90s.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of these challenges can be solved overnight: They require clear governance, sustained investment over a few years and cross-functional organizational coordination.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most large organizations are weak on those three fronts: This is precisely why CEOs should be focusing on them now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Waiting until some of those risks become obvious will almost certainly be too late.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Businesses naturally prioritise immediate commercial pressures. Cybersecurity often involves preparing for risks whose timing remains uncertain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But one of the greatest leadership failures I keep seeing remains the inability of organizations to act decisively on known unknowns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That tension explains why many organizations delay action until external events force them to respond. Unfortunately, cybersecurity rarely rewards late action.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leadership will determine who succeeds</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cybersecurity discussions still frequently focus on technology. I believe they should focus far more on leadership.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Technology will continue evolving. Threat actors will continue adapting. Regulations will continue expanding. Those developments are inevitable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What remains within the control of every CEO is how their organization responds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Does cybersecurity remain an IT issue? Or is it recognised as an integral part of business resilience?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How is cybersecurity accountability assigned at executive level? Or does it still rest largely with a CISO hidden in the organization?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Does the board spend sufficient time discussing resilience? Or does cybersecurity appear only when approving budgets or reviewing incidents?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These questions will increasingly determine organizational success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The companies that navigate the next decade successfully will not necessarily be those spending the most on cybersecurity. Nor will they be those deploying the latest security technologies first.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They will be the organizations whose leadership recognises that cybersecurity has become a permanent business capability — embedded into governance, strategy, operational decision-making and organizational culture.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That transformation cannot be delegated. It begins with the CEO.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And perhaps that is the single biggest issue that should keep every chief executive awake at night: Not when the next cyber-attack will happen, but whether their organization is evolving quickly enough on those matters to meet a threat landscape that is changing much faster than the business itself.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is a business analyst?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Business analysts (BAs) are responsible for bridging the gap between IT and the business using <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/191313/what-is-data-analytics-analyzing-and-managing-data-for-decisions.html">data analytics</a> to assess processes, determine requirements, and deliver data-driven recommendations and reports to executives and stakeholders.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BAs engage with business leaders and users to understand how data-driven changes to process, products, services, software, and hardware can improve efficiencies and add value. They must articulate those ideas but also balance them against what’s technologically feasible and financially and functionally reasonable. Depending on the role, a business analyst might work with data sets to improve products, hardware, tools, software, services, or process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), a nonprofit professional association, considers the business analyst an agent of change, and says that <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/191157/what-is-business-analytics-using-data-to-predict-business-outcomes.html">business analysis</a> is a disciplined approach to introduce and manage change to organizations, whether they’re for-profit businesses, governments, or nonprofits.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impact of AI on business analyst role</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As AI becomes commonplace in the tech industry, business analysts are embracing it as a tool to automate repetitive work in the role. AI tools can be used for workflow and diagramming, process mapping, data analysis, and to automate meeting minutes and transcribe meetings where requirements are established, all designed to speed up the process of analyzing data, creating visuals, and transcribing and writing user stories and acceptance criteria.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI tools can also help identify patterns, insights, and unique data points that might go unnoticed by humans, and allow a faster time to generate insights for organizations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, as with all AI tools, they still require humans to oversee prompts, scripting, and evaluate AI outputs to ensure they’re accurate and valid. While they can’t replace the work of BAs, AI can help them spend more time on thoughtful analysis and decision making, rather than mundane tasks such as gathering and summarizing data, and querying.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analyst job description</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BAs are responsible for creating new models that support business decisions by working closely with finance and IT teams to establish initiatives and strategies aimed at improving revenue and optimizing costs. They need a strong understanding of regulatory and reporting requirements, and have plenty of experience in forecasting, budgeting, and financial analysis combined with knowing KPIs, according to Robert Half Technology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Robert Half, a BA’s job description typically includes budgeting and forecasting, planning and monitoring, variance analysis, pricing, reporting, and creating a detailed business analysis in an effort to outline problems, opportunities, and solutions for a business. It also says BAs should be able to define business requirements and report them back to stakeholders.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since BAs are tasked with prioritizing technical and functional requirements, identifying what clients want, and determining what’s feasible to deliver, the role requires a deep understanding of systems, how they function, who’ll need to be involved, and the necessary steps to get everyone on board.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The role is constantly evolving, especially as companies rely more on data to advise business operations. Every company has different issues that a business analyst can address, whether it’s dealing with outdated legacy systems, changing technologies, broken processes, poor client or customer satisfaction, or large, siloed organizations.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analyst skills</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The BA position requires both hard and soft skills, as they need to know how to pull, analyze, and report data trends, share that information with others, and apply it to business goals and needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not all BAs need a background in IT if they have a general understanding of how systems, products, and tools work. Alternatively, some have strong IT backgrounds and less experience in business, but are interested in shifting away from IT into this hybrid role, which often acts as a communicator between the business and IT sides of the organization. So having extensive experience in either area can be beneficial for BAs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.iiba.org/career-resources/new-to-business-analysis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to the IIBA</a>, some of the most important skills and experience for a business analyst are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Oral and written communication skills</li>



<li>Interpersonal, organizational, facilitation, and consultative skills</li>



<li>Analytical thinking and problem solving</li>



<li>Being detail-oriented and able to deliver a high level of accuracy</li>



<li>Knowledge of business structure</li>



<li>Stakeholder and cost-benefit analysis</li>



<li>Processes modeling</li>



<li>Understanding networks, databases, and other technologies</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analyst salary</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The average annual salary for an IT business analyst is $80,692, according to <a href="https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Business_Analyst%2C_IT/Salary" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from PayScale</a>. The highest paid BAs are in New York, where the average salary is 14% higher than the national average. Dallas, Texas, is second, with reported salaries 6.4% higher than the national average, closely followed by Washington, D.C., where salaries are 6.3% higher than the national average.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some skills are in higher demand than others, with the potential to boost salary. According to Payscale, these are associated with higher BA salaries. These skills, and the amount they can boost your salary, include:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><div class="overflow-table-wrapper"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>Skills</td><td>Salary Boost</td></tr><tr><td>ScrumMaster</td><td>44%</td></tr><tr><td>Microsoft Azure</td><td>30%</td></tr><tr><td>Supply Chain</td><td>27%</td></tr><tr><td>Oracle eBusiness Suite</td><td>25%</td></tr><tr><td>Master Data Management (SAP MDM)</td><td>24%</td></tr><tr><td>SAP Sales and Distribution (SAP SD)</td><td>24%</td></tr><tr><td>Product Support</td><td>18%</td></tr><tr><td>Microsoft Dynamics GP</td><td>18%</td></tr><tr><td>SAP Quality Management (SAP QM)</td><td>18%</td></tr><tr><td>Workday Software</td><td>15%</td></tr></tbody></table> </div></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analyst certifications</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although business analysis is a relatively new discipline in IT, a handful of organizations already offer certifications to help boost your résumé and prove your merit as an analyst. Organizations such as the IIBA, IQBBA, IREB, and PMI each offer their own tailored certifications for business analysis. These include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>IIBA <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/189169/ecba-certification-an-entry-level-credential-for-business-analysts.html">Entry Certificate in Business Analysis (ECBA)</a></li>



<li>IIBA Certification of Competency in Business Analysis (CCBA)</li>



<li>IIBA Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP)</li>



<li>IIBA Agile Analysis Certification (AAC)</li>



<li>IQBBA Certified Foundation Level Business Analyst (CFLBA)</li>



<li>IREB Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering (CPRE)</li>



<li>PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PBA)</li>



<li>Certified Analytics Professional (CAP)</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For more information about how to earn one of these certifications — and how much they cost — click <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/228834/6-business-analyst-certifications-to-advance-your-analytics-career.html">here</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analytics tools and software</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BAs typically rely on software such as Microsoft’s Excel, PowerPoint, and Access, as well as SQL, Google Analytics, and Tableau. These tools help BAs collect and sort data, create graphs, write documents, and design visualizations to explain findings. You won’t necessarily need programming or database skills for a BA position, but if you already have these skills, they won’t hurt. The type of software and tools you’ll need to use, however, will depend on your job title and what the organization requires.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Predicting an outage is tricky business, but CIOs might want to circle Oct. 11, 2026, through Jan. 11, 2027, for likely trouble of a potentially widespread and puzzling nature.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s because a relatively trivial update to DNSSEC on Oct. 11, one that will take full effect by Jan. 11, is likely to deliver a series of seemingly unrelated system outages. This will come from oceans of dependencies from third-party, shadow, agentic, gen AI, SaaS, homegrown, and legacy apps — among many other quiet executable hiding spots, including virtual environments and containers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshithak/">Sai Joshitha Kathari</a>, senior site reliability engineer at payment card giant Visa, says most enterprises have far more DNS-related exposure than they realize because of these many dependencies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This has the potential to create real downstream destruction when unresolved failures sit underneath important business functions,” Kathari says. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The danger is that so many of these issues are either unknown to IT or handled by a third-party vendor and no one in IT has had reason to ask those vendors about DNS updates. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The risky areas are usually not the obvious managed DNS services. They are the older internal applications, hardcoded resolvers, containerized workloads, sidecar configurations, custom scripts, partner integrations, VM images, stale base images, and service-to-service dependencies that nobody has touched in a long time,” Kathari explains. “These systems can keep working quietly for years, then fail during a DNS or certificate-related change because they bypassed the normal platform standards.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Independent technology analyst <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carmi/">Carmi Levy</a> says that CIOs need to take this event very seriously. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The two-pronged deadline — October 11, 2026, when the new Key Signing Key (KSK) begins signing the root zone, and January 11, 2027, when the old key is retired — should be marked in red on everyone’s calendar, just as December 31, 1999, once was,” Levy says. “Failure to comply could result in websites, critical business applications, and related resources dropping off the face of the Earth once the transition is complete.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Levy adds: “Custom-built code that lives outside conventional support mechanisms may or may not function when the DNS changes go into effect.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/press-material/release-2026-05-20-en">DNSSEC update itself</a> is straightforward, but it is also the first significant DNSSEC change — specifically a change in the trust anchor — since 2018. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The rollout statement noted that “the trust anchor is formally known as the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) root zone Key Signing Key (KSK). The KSK is the cryptographic key at the core of the DNSSEC trust anchor and is used to verify that DNS responses are legitimate and have not been modified in transit.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expect nearly every enterprise to be impacted</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimdavies/">Kim Davies</a>, vice president of IANA Services and president of public technical identifiers at ICANN, says the extent of the impact on enterprises is unknowable, given the nature of shadow IT and other edge cases. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But based on the massive number of dependencies both known and unknown in the typical global enterprise, Davies guesses that just about every enterprise will be impacted, to varying degrees. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“In highly complex organizations, it is very likely there will be some impact in the corners, in the margins, of the organization,” Davies tells CIO. “DNS is such a core technology that underpins everything.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the updates propagate, hiccups will materialize, Davies notes. “When the system cannot validate the [DNS] information, it will treat it as suspect and DNS lookups will fail.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Visa’s Kathari says, “Enterprises should expect some secondary DNS-related glitches when major DNSSEC-related changes happen, not necessarily because the core infrastructure teams will ignore the update, but because large environments have many hidden dependency paths.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Making this problem far worse, Kathari notes, is that the glitches will likely initially look like anything other thana DNS glitch. That will force IT staff to waste a vast number of hours chasing causes that ultimately prove to be unrelated to the incidents. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The impact for CIOs is that DNS failures rarely announce themselves as DNS failures. They look like application timeouts, broken logins, failed API calls, queue lag, payment failures, partner connectivity issues, or random regional instability,” Kathari explains. “That makes troubleshooting slower because teams may spend hours looking at the application, database, network, or cloud provider before realizing name resolution is part of the failure path.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://greyhoundresearch.com/svg/">Sanchit Vir Gogia</a>, chief analyst at Greyhound Research, agrees that IT will likely spin its wheels chasing the wrong ghosts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“A validation failure rarely stays in its lane. It surfaces as an application error, an API timeout, or a reachability problem, which turns a resolver fault into a coordination failure,” Gogia says. “The application team blames the network, the network team blames the cloud, and the user simply watches work stop.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Images and templates are the frontier most teams miss,” Gogia adds. “A resolver fixed in summer can be broken again in October the instant a stale golden image is redeployed, because automation no longer lets configuration drift slowly. It restores yesterday’s assumptions at machine speed.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is widely expected that enterprises will not have any problems executing the change or, more likely, relying on their hyperscalers to properly handle the change. That is the concern. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“CIOs are being distracted so much with AI and this is such a deep in the weeds infrastructure issue that this can and willcatch people off-guard,” <a href="https://acceligence.com/talent/profiles/justin-greis/">Justin Greis</a>, CEO of consulting firm Acceligence, tells CIO. “I think we’ll see a meaningful number of enterprise disruptions associated with the DNSSEC trust anchor rollover. Not because the update itself is especially difficult, but because it will expose weaknesses that already exist inside many organizations.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most enterprise IT operations have had no reason to compile a comprehensive list of all DNS dependencies, but many will be instantly discovered in January. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potentially widespread fallout</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A major retailer, for example, might suddenly be unable to connect with FedEx to arrange for deliveries or a hospital may find that test results are no longer being shared with patient portals. It might manifest as an assembly line that halts because an IIoT component can no longer share files with its vendor system or a truck fleet that stops being tracked. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“There will almost certainly be systems that fall through the cracks. Some will be legacy applications that rely on outdated DNS configurations that have not been updated in years,” Greis says. “Others will be business-unit-developed tools, contractor-built solutions, embedded systems, manufacturing and industrial systems, or highly customized workloads that operate outside normal IT oversight. These are the types of systems that often surface during infrastructure events like this.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Greis adds that many enterprises will discover in January problems created by their own automation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Over time, enterprises build layers of processes, templates, and deployment mechanisms that are reused across teams and environments,” Greis notes. “Even after DNS infrastructure is updated correctly, older settings can inadvertently be reintroduced through routine updates and system changes, creating intermittent and difficult-to-diagnose failures.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The good news from this situation is that enterprises are not going to likely lose all DNS access if any of these glitches occur. But that may be of no comfort because even if the disruptions are only with small edge cases, that can still cause massive operational disruptions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cricketliu/">Cricket Liu</a>, EVP and chief evangelist at Infoblox, gives the example of a DNS server that responds to factory-floor system queries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Or let’s say this disrupts [an enterprise’s key] SaaS application. All name resolution may stop and it will show a server failure. It will not deliver a response whenever I look anything up. That’s not subtle at all,” Liu says. “It’s highly likely that companies are going to see some effects.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Back in 2017, the switchover was relatively uneventful, giving some CIOs hope that January 2027 will also be a non-event. But given the technology advancements in the last 10 years and the resulting tidal wave of new enterprise tech dependencies, few are realistically expecting no problems this go around. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impossible to predict what will happen</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the top network experts on DNS effects in enterprises is <a href="https://blog.apnic.net/author/geoff-huston/">Geoff Huston</a>, chief scientist at the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), the regional Internet Registry administering IP addresses for the Asia Pacific region.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Huston says it is difficult to project what will happen in January until it happens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Just like the last time, we are flying blind with this key roll. Because nothing really terrible happened last time, there is some confidence that nothing terrible will happen this time, but we just can’t tell in advance as there are no good measurement approaches that allow us to peek inside the trust state of recursive resolvers,” he says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for potential edge-case glitches, Huston says it is possible, but if third-party vendors do not properly handle the update, there will be other issues as well, as the KSK cryptographic key used within DNSSEC signs and validates the keys that protect DNS records. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“If it is not standards-compliant, then you have more problems than just the KSK roll,” Huston says, “as it raises the obvious question of ‘What else is not correctly implemented in the DNS resolver that I’m running?’”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a silver lining, Acceligence’s Greis says any hiccups that result from the DNS KSK update may be a gift in disguise for CIOs. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The irony is that some of the most business-critical components in the technology stack are often the least visible because they work in the background,” Greis says. January “may reveal how much modern business resilience depends on infrastructure that many organizations rarely examine until something breaks. For CIOs, that’s the real lesson. This is not fundamentally a story about a DNS update. It is a story about operational visibility, resilience, and governance. Organizations that treat the rollover as a routine infrastructure task will likely complete the update and move on. Organizations that use it as an opportunity to understand and strengthen the foundations of their technology environment may gain far more value than simply avoiding an outage.”</p>

<p>Add Laguna XS 2, XS 2.1, and S 2.1 support to the MLX model and create paths.</p>
<p>Read the source config to apply one quantization policy across dense and routed MoE layers. Keep the tied output head and router at source precision, quantize supported attention and expert projections, selectively promote sensitive expert down projections, and emit per-tensor metadata for mixed quantization blobs.</p>
<p>Correct dense expert loading, BF16 source-layout handling, expert global-scale shapes and dtypes, routing-score scaling, and mixed-precision expert dispatch. Gate/up and down projections select quantized or dense execution independently so promoted BF16 down projections do not force quantized gate/up weights through the dense fallback.</p>
<p>Optimize the forward pass with compatible gate/up fusion, sorted standard GatherMM and GatherQMM operations for larger prefills, model-local mlx.Compile closures for elementwise MoE work, and cache-backed 512-token prefill chunks. This keeps the implementation on maintained MLX operations without custom kernels.</p>
<p>Add focused tests for Laguna configuration variants, quantization policy and metadata, dense and routed expert loading, mixed-precision dispatch, compiled-versus-eager parity, fused projections, routing, and prefill chunking.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Instagram is banning videos filmed with Meta smart glasses that harass strangers in public, including prank videos targeting service workers and pickup-artist clips of women who may not realize they are being recorded. "If you're posting content that is taking advantage of people and harassing them, like a lot of these pickup line kind of videos that we've heard of and seen, then we're going to take the content down," said Instagram head Adam Mosseri in response to a question on his Instagram stories last week. "We don't want people to be surreptitiously taking videos of other people and harassing them and then posting them on our platform. So we're trying to fight that every way we can." Business Insider reports: It's unclear how many videos have been removed under this new policy. Business Insider found that two large accounts of pickup artists who filmed themselves approaching women in public while wearing the glasses had been deactivated. (Both previously had more than a million followers.)
 
A Meta spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider that these accounts were booted for violating the policy about posting harassing content that had been filmed with the glasses. Meta did not directly respond to questions about how this new policy is being enforced or what exactly constitutes a violation.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://www.anthropic.com/">Anthropic</a> released Claude <a href="http://anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5">Opus 5</a> on Friday, a model the company says delivers nearly all the intelligence of its top-of-the-line Claude <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/fable">Fable 5</a> at half the cost — a launch that signals how the AI race is shifting from raw capability to the economics of daily use.</p><p>The model, available immediately on all of Anthropic's platforms, is priced at $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens, unchanged from its predecessor, <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-8">Opus 4.8</a>. It becomes the new default model on <a href="https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11049741-what-is-the-max-plan">Claude Max</a>, Anthropic's premium consumer tier, and the strongest model available on <a href="https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8325606-what-is-the-pro-plan">Claude Pro</a>.</p><p>The positioning is deliberate. Anthropic is not claiming <a href="http://anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5">Opus 5 </a>is its smartest model — that distinction still belongs to <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/fable">Fable 5</a>, and rival systems retain an edge in certain domains. Instead, the company is making a subtler argument that may matter more to enterprise buyers: that the most economically important AI work happens in a middle band of difficulty, where near-frontier intelligence delivered efficiently and cheaply beats frontier intelligence delivered expensively.</p><p>"Opus 5 as your daily driver, the model you hand complex work to and review when it's done," an Anthropic spokesperson said in an interview with VentureBeat, describing how the company's lineup now stratifies. "Fable 5 for your most ambitious work, the days-long autonomous projects nothing could take on before... Sonnet 5 for work you run at scale, where speed and cost per call decide what ships. Haiku 4.5 for subagents and instant answers."</p><h2><b>How Claude Opus 5 benchmark results stack up against Fable 5 and rival AI models</b></h2><p>On paper, the results are striking. Anthropic says <a href="http://anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5">Opus 5</a> sets new state-of-the-art marks on coding and knowledge-work evaluations including <a href="https://www.frontierbench.ai/announcement">Frontier-Bench</a> and <a href="https://artificialanalysis.ai/evaluations/gdpval-aa">GDPval-AA</a>. On <a href="https://www.frontierbench.ai/announcement">Frontier-Bench v0.1</a>, an agentic terminal coding benchmark, Opus 5 scores 43.3 percent — more than double Opus 4.8's 18.7 percent and well ahead of Fable 5's 33.7 percent — at a lower cost per task, according to the company. On <a href="https://arcprize.org/arc-agi/3">ARC-AGI 3</a>, an evaluation of novel problem-solving, Anthropic reports Opus 5 scored three times as high as the next best model. On <a href="https://github.com/xlang-ai/OSWorld-V2">OSWorld 2.0</a>, a computer-use benchmark, the company says the model surpasses Fable 5's best result at just over a third of the cost.</p><p>The numbers come with honest caveats that are themselves notable in an industry prone to superlatives. Anthropic acknowledges <a href="http://anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5">Opus 5</a> remains behind <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/mythos">Mythos 5</a>, a competing model, on cybersecurity tasks and biology research, and an OpenAI-family model still leads on one agentic coding benchmark.</p><p>The more revealing caveat came from Anthropic itself, when asked where <a href="http://anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5">Opus 5</a> still falls short of <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/fable">Fable 5</a>. The spokesperson's answer amounted to a candid admission about what benchmarks do and don't capture.</p><p>"The evals where Opus 5 wins are bounded tasks with a specific outcome, which is where it's strongest. What those evals don't measure is duration," the spokesperson told VentureBeat. "One way to put it: Opus 5 is the best tool for the jobs benchmarks can see, and Fable 5 is what you reach for when the job outruns the benchmark."</p><p><a href="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/fable">Fable 5</a>, by contrast, "is for the longest, most autonomous jobs, where the model has to stay coherent across many connected steps over hours or days with dense source material," the spokesperson said, advising customers to "run both on a representative workload, one bounded task and one long-horizon job." That framing — bounded tasks versus long-horizon autonomy — may become the defining axis of model differentiation in 2026, as benchmarks saturate and the hardest remaining problems involve sustained, multi-day agentic work rather than discrete puzzles.</p><h2><b>Why token efficiency is becoming the real battleground for enterprise AI spending</b></h2><p>Threaded through the launch is a theme Anthropic clearly wants buyers to absorb: <a href="http://anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5">Opus 5</a> doesn't just score well, it scores well per dollar. The model ships with an adjustable "effort" setting that lets customers trade intelligence for speed and token savings, and Anthropic's charts emphasize performance at a given cost rather than peak performance alone.</p><p>Early customers echoed the point with unusual specificity. Harvey, the legal AI company, said Opus 5 achieved similar performance to Opus 4.8's maximum-reasoning mode "while generating 26% fewer tokens on average," according to Niko Grupen, its head of applied research. Richard Pham of Fundamental Research Lab said that on hard financial-modeling tasks, the model averaged nine percentage points higher accuracy "while using roughly one-third fewer turns and tool calls and 60% less time."</p><p>Wade Foster, chief executive of Zapier, said Opus 5 topped his company's AutomationBench leaderboard "without spending more tokens than prior Claude models," running a full churn-prevention workflow from start to finish. "Previous models didn't pass; Opus 5 hit 100%," he said. Scott Wu, chief executive of Cognition, the company behind the Devin coding agent, said that on FrontierCode 1.1, "Claude Opus 5 approaches Fable-level performance at half the cost," with particular strength in debugging and root-cause analysis.</p><p>The efficiency emphasis reflects commercial reality. Enterprise AI spending is no longer experimental, and inference costs — the price of actually running these models at scale — have become a board-level line item. </p><p>Anthropic's business skews heavily toward API and enterprise usage; according to a February 2026 analysis by <a href="https://research.contrary.com/company/anthropic">Contrary Research</a>, Claude held roughly 40 percent of the enterprise large language model market by usage as of late 2025, and Claude Code alone had reached about $1 billion in annualized revenue. For a company whose customers pay by the token, a model that does more with fewer tokens is not a nice-to-have. It is the product.</p><h2><b>Self-verifying AI agents and what they mean for the hidden costs of automation</b></h2><p>Beyond the numbers, Anthropic is selling a behavioral story: that <a href="http://anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5">Opus 5</a> verifies its work and iterates until it succeeds. The company offered several examples from testing that read like small parables of machine stubbornness.</p><p>In one <a href="https://www.frontierbench.ai/announcement">Frontier-Bench</a> task, the model was asked to reconstruct a machine part as a 3D CAD model from a drawing it was intentionally given no way to view. Rather than fail, Anthropic says, Opus 5 wrote its own computer vision pipeline to extract the geometry from raw pixels — and did so repeatedly, while no competing model solved the task in five attempts. In another case, given a real bug in a popular open-source package manager, the model found the root cause and fixed an edge case the community's own patch had missed; a competing model patched only the symptom and declared victory. An engineer at a trading firm, the company says, used Opus 5 to build a market data feed for a new exchange in a single session and, finding no live feed to validate against, watched the model build its own test harness to check its parsing code.</p><p>Customers described similar behavior in the wild. Cristian Rivera, a staff software engineer at Stripe, said he gave the model "a chief-of-staff role over my dev environments" for a weekend: "it built its own monitor, drove each box, and pulled me in only for the judgment calls."</p><p>This is the capability enterprises actually care about, and it is worth dwelling on why. The gap between a model that produces plausible output and one that verifies its output is the gap between a demo and a deployable system. Most of the hidden cost of enterprise AI today is human review — engineers checking the machine's work. A model that reliably checks its own work compresses that cost, which is precisely why customers keep citing fewer turns, fewer passes, and less time rather than higher raw scores.</p><h2><b>Inside Anthropic's safety strategy: capability gaps, classifiers, and model fallbacks</b></h2><p>The launch also showcases Anthropic's increasingly intricate approach to safety — one that now involves deliberately not teaching its models certain skills. The company says its automated behavioral audit found Opus 5 to be its most aligned model to date, scoring 2.3 on overall misaligned behavior, lower than <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-8">Opus 4.8</a>, <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-sonnet-5">Sonnet 5</a>, or <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/claude/fable">Fable 5</a>, with the lowest rates of deceptive behavior and the least susceptibility to being tricked into misuse.</p><p>On the capability side, Anthropic says it intentionally avoided training <a href="http://anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5">Opus 5</a> on cyber tasks, as it did with Opus 4.8. The model improved on them anyway — a side effect of general capability gains — and now nearly matches Mythos 5 at finding software vulnerabilities. But it remains far behind at exploiting them: on Anthropic's OSS-Fuzz evaluation, Opus 5 identified vulnerabilities at a 79.4 percent rate, close to Mythos 5's 80 percent, but succeeded at developing exploits in only 4 challenges versus Mythos 5's 13. That asymmetry — strong at defense-relevant discovery, weak at offense-relevant exploitation — appears to be by design, and the safeguards follow the same logic. Anthropic expects Opus 5's cyber classifiers to intervene about 85 percent less often than Fable 5's.</p><p>When a classifier does trigger, requests in <a href="http://claude.ai/">Claude.ai</a>, <a href="https://code.claude.com/docs/en/overview">Claude Code</a>, and <a href="https://claude.com/product/cowork">Claude Cowork</a> fall back to <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-4-8">Opus 4.8</a> by default — raising an obvious question: if a request is too risky for one model, why is it acceptable for another? "The model it falls back to has lower capability levels making the risk of harmful use lower as well," the spokesperson said, adding that "there is a message that lets the user know when this occurs and is visible in the chat."</p><p>The logic is defensible, but it reveals how AI safety actually works in 2026: risk is not a property of the question alone, but of the question multiplied by the capability of the system answering it. On biology, the calculus runs the other way. Opus 5 is now Anthropic's most capable generally available model for scientific research — scoring 10.2 percentage points higher than Opus 4.8 on the company's internal chemistry benchmark — though the spokesperson acknowledged that "Mythos 5 remains the stronger model for long-horizon, open-ended work like autonomous drug design campaigns."</p><h2><b>The business stakes behind the launch: a $380 billion valuation and massive compute bets</b></h2><p>The launch lands at a moment of extraordinary commercial momentum — and extraordinary obligations — for Anthropic. Reuters reported in February that the company was valued at <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/anthropic-valued-380-billion-latest-funding-round-2026-02-12/">roughly $380 billion</a> in its latest funding round, following a period in which, per Contrary Research's analysis, its annualized revenue climbed from about $1 billion at the end of 2024 to a projected $9 billion by the end of 2025, with internal targets reportedly <a href="https://research.contrary.com/company/anthropic">reaching $20 to $26 billion for 2026</a>. Those targets are underwritten by enormous infrastructure commitments, including a <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/news/microsoft-nvidia-anthropic-announce-strategic-partnerships">reported $30 billion Azure compute deal</a> alongside arrangements with Google Cloud and Nvidia — spending that only pencils out if enterprises keep expanding usage.</p><p>That is the context in which Opus 5's pricing strategy makes sense. Holding the price at Opus 4.8 levels while roughly doubling performance on key agentic benchmarks is effectively a steep price cut per unit of capability, designed to widen the funnel of workloads that are economical to automate. Every task that was marginal at Opus 4.8's cost-per-success becomes viable at Opus 5's — and every viable task is recurring token revenue.</p><p>The regulatory backdrop has grown more complex as well. A U.S. judge gave final approval this week to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/us-judge-approves-anthropics-15-billion-settlement-copyright-lawsuit-2026-07-20/">Anthropic's $1.5 billion copyright settlement with book authors</a>, Reuters reported, closing a chapter of litigation over the company's early training data. And in June, Reuters, citing Axios, reported that the U.S. government had moved to <a href="https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-blocks-foreign-access-anthropics-most-advanced-ai-models-axios-reports-2026-06-13/">block foreign access </a>to Anthropic's most advanced models — a reminder that frontier AI is now entangled with export policy in ways that shape which customers can buy what.</p><p>Also shipping Friday: a Fast mode running at roughly 2.5 times default speed at twice the base price, automatic fallback routing on the API, and mid-conversation tool changes that no longer invalidate the prompt cache — a small feature that agent developers may appreciate more than any benchmark. Consistent with prior Opus models, Opus 5 carries no data retention requirements for general access, a point the spokesperson flagged unprompted for customers with "a hard zero data retention requirement." Developers can access the model as claude-opus-5 on the <a href="https://platform.claude.com/login?returnTo=%2F%3F">Claude API</a> starting today.</p><p>Two questions will determine whether the bet pays off: whether <a href="http://anthropic.com/news/claude-opus-5">Opus 5's efficiency claims </a>survive contact with production workloads at scale, and whether enterprises embrace a world where safety classifiers, not users, sometimes decide which model answers. But the deeper message of Friday's launch is that the AI industry's center of gravity has moved. For three years, the labs competed on what their best model could do on its best day. With Opus 5, Anthropic is competing on something less glamorous and far more lucrative: what a very good model can do every day, for half the price. In a market where the frontier keeps moving, Anthropic is wagering that the real fortune lies just behind it.</p><p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco and AMD have expanded their partnership with a new package of hardware and security software that’s designed to help enterprise customers protect, deploy, and manage distributed AI resources.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During AMD’s <a href="https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/events/advancing-ai.html">Advancing AI event</a> this week, Cisco’s president and chief product officer <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4184554/how-jeetu-patel-made-cisco-unrecognizable.html">Jeetu Patel</a> took to the stage during AMD CEO <a href="https://www.amd.com/en/corporate/events/advancing-ai.html">Lisa Su’s keynote</a> to talk about how AI inference will be widely distributed and will require an architectural stack of software and tools that Cisco and <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4199402/helios-marks-amds-biggest-ai-infrastructure-push-yet.html">AMD</a> are partnering to develop.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The joint architecture combines AMD’s compact, high-performance Ryzen AI Halo hardware and a variety of Cisco networking, observability, governance, and security technologies. “AMD provides the deskside/local AI platform. At the foundation is AMD Ryzen AI Halo hardware, an isolated agent sandbox and the services needed for local-first inferencing, including model routing and token limits via AMD’s Semantic Router and local inference on Lemonade,” wrote Cisco’s <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yash-sheth-/">Yash Sheth</a>, senior director, engineering and research, in a <a href="https://blogs.cisco.com/ai/from-one-desk-to-the-whole-enterprise-making-local-ai-resilient">blog post</a> about the new package.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/ryzen-ai-halo.html?gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=24009436319&amp;gbraid=0AAAAApk3AUDJs1_xMEd2YjxcG8iJu-gS4&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw94bTBhDQARIsAN3vv0xmM9xu9mXa5H5zAbKFqNzUy1FPP5AS-lOA1qXh1a9bmw54LMQtYXgaArV-EALw_wcB">Ryzen AI Halo</a> (pictured below) is designed to support local AI inference on an AI PC using its CPU, GPU, and XDNA neural processing unit (NPU), according to AMD. A resilient AI platform should continue delivering useful AI services even when connectivity is limited, models need to change, or workloads shift, AMD stated.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"> width="1024" height="576" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"&gt;</figure><p class="imageCredit">AMD</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco then wraps that platform in a secure harness that includes its Splunk Agent Observability plus Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring to provide full-stack observability, tracking agent behavior, tokenomics and compute operation, according to Sheth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cisco also brings its <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4148823/cisco-goes-all-in-on-agentic-ai-security.html">AI Defense</a> for model and agent security; <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4179673/cisco-brings-agentic-ops-platform-and-security-overhaul-to-cisco-live.html">DefenseClaw</a> for security policy enforcement, so guardrails are enforced directly on-device, within the agent harness; and <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4180810/what-is-cisco-cloud-control-and-why-should-customers-care.html">Cisco Cloud Control</a> offering a single pane of glass for unified policy and control, Sheth stated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“To make deskside and local AI computing work at enterprise scale, every AI node must be treated as a secure, managed node in the enterprise network,” Sheth wrote.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The need for token efficiency and data sovereignty is driving a new class of computing, deskside computing, with users and teams putting AI agents right by their sides,” Sheth wrote. “Inference is moving to a hybrid architecture with thousands of ambient deskside agents in an enterprise helping employees have 24×7 productivity. That’s an extraordinary opportunity. It’s also a brand-new operating challenge.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As agentic AI moves from experimentation to real enterprise workflows, organizations need more than powerful endpoints. AI agents can run continuously and act on enterprise data, but create new requirements for network infrastructure, tokenomics, agent behavior, and security, according to a <a href="https://newsroom.amd.com/news/aai-2026-cisco-client-partnership-update/">statement</a> from AMD.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Running more AI locally can help improve responsiveness, keep sensitive data closer to users, and reduce dependence on cloud-only approaches, but enterprises also need a way to monitor and manage these systems at scale. AMD and Cisco are addressing that gap by collaborating to pair high-performance local AI compute with the observability, governance, and control infrastructure needed for enterprises to deploy it responsibly,” AMD stated.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“By combining AMD Ryzen AI Halo systems and our broader local AI software capabilities with Cisco’s enterprise networking, observability and security technologies, we are helping customers deploy AI in a way that is performant, secure, observable and manageable at scale,” said Jack Huynh, senior vice president and general manager, computing and graphics group with AMD, in a statement.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A few other interesting statistics and trends cited in AMD CEO Su’s keynote include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>AI adoption is accelerating across all industries, with agentic AI driving a surge in compute demand and shifting workloads from training to inference, which accounts for 60% of global AI compute capacity in 2026.</li>



<li>AI is moving beyond the cloud, with edge and personal devices becoming critical for real-time, distributed intelligence.</li>



<li>The AI accelerator market is projected to reach $1.4 trillion by 2030, nearly tripling previous forecasts, with GPUs expected to dominate but CPUs gaining new growth vectors due to agentic AI.</li>



<li>Server CPU market is forecasted to grow over 50% to $200 billion by 2030, fueled by rapid agentic AI adoption and the need for massive CPU infrastructure.</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader quotes a report from PYMNTS.com: Stripe is in talks to buy OpenRouter, an artificial intelligence (AI) startup that could sell for roughly $10 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal. The move would mark a significant step outside payments for a company that processes transactions for much of the internet. It also lands while Stripe pursues a far larger target: a bid for PayPal that would value the payments giant at about $53 billion.
 
The Journal reported Thursday (July 23) that a transaction could be announced soon, though the talks could still collapse or another buyer could step in. The exact price under discussion could not be learned. Several other large technology companies had also been weighing deals for OpenRouter. The startup was valued at $1.3 billion in May, according to PitchBook, meaning a sale near $10 billion would represent a steep markup in a matter of months. Its backers include Menlo Ventures and CapitalG, the growth fund of Google parent Alphabet.
 
OpenRouter sells software that lets customers reach AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic, along with open weight alternatives anyone can download and run. The Journal described the company's position this way: "OpenRouter is part of an emerging crop of startups that have found a lucrative niche between AI developers and the companies that want to use them." The platform lists hundreds of large language models and lets developers compare and switch between them.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Long-horizon execution in Large Language Models (LLMs) remains unstable even when high-level strategies are provided. Evaluating on controlled algorithmic puzzles, we demonstrate that while decomposition is essential for stability, extreme decomposition creates a “no-recovery bottleneck”. We show that this bottleneck becomes critical due to highly non-uniform error distribution, where consistent errors on a few “hard” steps become irreversible. To address this, we propose Lookahead-Enhanced Atomic Decomposition (LEAD). By incorporating short-horizon future validation and aggregating…]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Model Context Protocol (<a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4029634/what-is-model-context-protocol-how-mcp-bridges-ai-and-external-services.html">MCP</a>), the emerging standard for connecting AI models to external tools and enterprise data, is undergoing its biggest architectural overhaul yet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The latest <a href="https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/draft/changelog" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">release candidate</a>, scheduled for release on July 28, removes protocol-level sessions in favor of a stateless architecture, a change which industry experts say is intended to make MCP easier to deploy across standard cloud infrastructure as enterprises move AI pilots into production.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The session-based model made sense when MCP servers were local processes on a developer’s laptop. In production, it became an operational tax,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/muskan-bandta2004" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Muskan Bandta</a>, cloud associate at ZopDev.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“When your infrastructure team asks whether MCP services can scale like other cloud applications, the answer used to be ‘not quite.’ With the move to a stateless architecture, the answer is now yes,” Bandta added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier versions of the protocol maintained information about every client connection, meaning servers had to keep track of each session throughout an interaction. While that approach worked well for local development, it complicated deployments across multiple servers because requests often had to be routed back to the same machine, limiting scalability and making MCP a less natural fit for modern cloud architectures.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Under the new stateless design, every request contains the information needed for any available server to process it independently. Applications that need to maintain context across multiple requests can still do so, but developers must now manage that state explicitly rather than relying on the protocol itself,” she said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This transition to a stateless design goes beyond simplifying infrastructure by fundamentally changing how AI applications manage and share context across tools, according to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/znamit/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Amit Jena</a>, AI development manager at IT consulting firm Kanerika.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of keeping application state hidden inside protocol sessions, the new design makes it explicit, allowing AI models to access, reason over, and pass that information between tools, giving developers greater control over how context is preserved and shared across tools, Jena said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It should also make AI workflows more portable, resilient, and easier to orchestrate across distributed environments, he said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">MCP’s new features</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other changes to MCP include the addition of a Multi Round-Trip Requests (MRTR) mechanism that changes how AI agents request additional information they need to complete a task.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of relying on a persistent connection between the client and server throughout the interaction, the new mechanism lets the server request additional input through a standard request-response exchange before continuing the task, Jena said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Routable transport headers, another addition, enable API gateways and other networking infrastructure to identify and route MCP requests without inspecting their contents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They reduce processing overhead, lower latency, and let enterprise teams enforce routing, rate-limiting and security policies more efficiently using existing API management infrastructure, Jena said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MCP is also getting an updated authorization framework built around OAuth 2.1 and OpenID Connect; interactive MCP Apps; and deterministic caching of tool and resource listings to improve LLM prompt-cache hit rates, potentially saving on token costs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rebuilding the trust boundary</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The MCP release steering committee also decided to deprecate some legacy features, including Roots, Sampling, Logging, the older HTTP+SSE transport and Dynamic Client Registration, although these will continue to work in this version and any other released over the next year.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The deprecation of Sampling is likely to have the biggest impact because it changes who is responsible for interacting with foundation models, said Jena.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Sampling let MCP servers invoke the <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2335213/large-language-models-the-foundations-of-generative-ai.html" target="_blank">LLM</a> through the client, which meant the server had a callback path into the model without owning that connection. Deprecating it means rebuilding that trust boundary,” Jena said. “Your server now calls the model provider directly. That changes your network architecture, your auth model, and depending on how you’ve built cost attribution, your billing flow.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The year-long transition period will be enough for teams to audit their sampling dependencies now, said Jena: “The risk is that teams who haven’t implemented sampling themselves won’t know if a third-party MCP server they’re depending on uses it.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Updated MCP SDKs</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To accompany the protocol update, there are updated <a href="https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MCP SDKs</a> for <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2253770/what-is-python-powerful-intuitive-programming.html" target="_blank">Python</a>, <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2257305/what-is-typescript-strongly-typed-javascript.html" target="_blank">Typescript</a>, <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2253031/whats-the-go-language-really-good-for-3.html">Go</a>, and <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/4131649/the-best-new-features-of-c-14.html">C#</a>. These support both the old and new protocol versions, so new clients can continue communicating with older servers, while updated servers will also support older clients, reducing the risk of immediate disruptions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That backward compatibility should make the transition largely incremental, except for enterprises that built custom infrastructure around MCP’s earlier session-based architecture, Bandta said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Identifying and auditing those session dependencies may not be easy, Jena warned.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Session management complexity tends to be hidden across multiple layers — the gateway config, the deployment scripts, the monitoring dashboards. The code change is small; finding everywhere the assumption lives is what takes time,” he said.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="block-paragraph_advanced"><h2><strong>Introduction </strong></h2>
<p><span>Today, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) will begin rolling out a unified naming schema for tracking threat actors. This new naming taxonomy represents an effort to standardize tracking across platforms and public reporting.</span></p>
<h2><strong>Why are we Adopting a Different Naming System?</strong></h2>
<p><span>Historically, Mandiant and Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG) maintained distinct tracking systems, relying on parallel naming schemas that grew independently over time. The creation of GTIG has necessitated a new, fused tracking system, and a new naming system. Thinking to the future, GTIG’s new system will rely on cryptonyms. Relying on sequential numbers or disparate identifiers (e.g. APT1) fails to provide defenders the critical context needed to operate quickly. Threat tracking shouldn’t be an exercise in memorization, but rather one of intuition. The new naming convention aligns with industry standard threat actor naming systems. </span></p>
<h2><strong>Our New Schema</strong></h2>
<p><span>Our new schema utilizes a cryptonym-based approach, employing memorable two-word combinations for each distinct threat actor:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>The </span><strong>first word</strong><span> is a unique and memorable term chosen to represent the specific actor, particularly names that may have been used in prior public reporting. If no previously used term exists, this word is randomly generated to remove bias, then vetted by our analysts.</span></p>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<p role="presentation"><span>The </span><strong>second word</strong><span> categorizes threat clusters by motivation, attribution, or activity type based on which category we consider to be most important for defense and response strategies.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span>The table below provides a sample of how threat actor categories will map to the second word in each cryptonym:</span></p>
<div align="left">

</div>
<p><span>Table 1: Examples of Google’s new threat actor naming system categories</span></p>
<p><span>We know there are many threat actor tracking schemas in the industry, so we are intentionally seeking to keep this system as simple as possible to streamline operations and facilitate mapping to other naming taxonomies. However, a significant caveat remains: because no two organizations have the exact same visibility into the threat landscape, direct, apples-to-apples comparisons between threat actors are rarely possible. Transitioning to a convention that is simpler to follow and remember is a practical step toward managing a highly intricate tracking problem. </span></p>
<h2><strong>A Work in Progress</strong></h2>
<p><span>We have initially prioritized renaming several dozen of the most active groups, and will continue this process on a rolling basis. Previous names will remain indexed and searchable in the Google Threat Intelligence (GTI) platform, with MITRE ATT&amp;CK mappings and other vendor aliases preserved, see Figure 1. </span></p></div>

<p>Jedes neue <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1924183/das-beste-smartphone-im-test.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Android-Smartphone </a>durchläuft bei mir dasselbe Ritual: Noch bevor die erste App startet, klicke ich mich durch fünf Einstellungen, die – wie ich finde – jedes Handy von Werksseite aus schon (de-)aktiviert haben sollte. Welche das sind, zeige ich Schritt für Schritt.</p>



<p><strong>Hinweis:</strong> Ich selbst nutze ein Samsung-Smartphone. Die genauen Menüpfade und Bezeichnungen, die Sie in diesem Artikel finden, können bei anderen Android-Herstellern leicht abweichen. Die grundlegenden Funktionen finden Sie aber bei jedem Android-Gerät, meist nur unter leicht anderem Namen oder an anderer Stelle in den Einstellungen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">1. Personalisierte Werbung deaktivieren</h2>



<p>Google und viele App-Anbieter verknüpfen Ihr Nutzungsverhalten über eine sogenannte Werbe-ID mit Ihrem Profil, um Anzeigen zuzuschneiden. Ich schalte das ab, weil ich schlicht nicht möchte, dass mein halbes digitales Leben zu Werbezwecken ausgewertet wird:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Öffnen Sie <strong>Einstellungen &gt; </strong><strong>Sicherheit &amp; Datenschutz</strong><strong> &gt; </strong><strong>Weitere Datenschutzeinstellungen</strong>.</li>



<li>Deaktivieren Sie im Abschnitt <strong>Google</strong> die Funktion “Android-Personalisierungsdienst” und tippen Sie anschließend auf “Werbung” &gt; “Werbe-ID löschen”.</li>
</ol>



<p>Damit unterbinden Sie zwar nicht jede Form von Werbung, aber die Anzeigen werden deutlich weniger zielgerichtet auf Sie persönlich ausgespielt. Mehr zu versteckten Tracking-Funktionen von Google lesen Sie hier: <a href="https://pcwelt.de/article/1201382/diese-google-funktion-ueberwacht-sie-heimlich-so-schalten-sie-diese-ab.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diese Google-Funktion überwacht Sie heimlich – so deaktivieren Sie das</a>.</p>

<p>Wenn Sie es mit Datentracking ganz genau nehmen, empfehle ich Ihnen, unter <strong>myaccount.google.com</strong> noch die Aktivitätseinstellungen für Ihr Google-Konto zu prüfen.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">2. Sperrbildschirm-Benachrichtigungen ohne Inhalte anzeigen</h2>



<p>Standardmäßig zeigt Android Nachrichteninhalte, Absendernamen und teils sogar Codes für die <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1206889/zwei-faktor-authentifizierung-alles-was-sie-wissen-muessen.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1206889/zwei-faktor-authentifizierung-alles-was-sie-wissen-muessen.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung</a> direkt auf dem gesperrten Bildschirm an – lesbar für jeden, der Ihr Handy in die Hand nimmt! Das ändere ich als Erstes, sobald ein Gerät neu eingerichtet ist:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Gehen Sie zu <strong>Einstellungen &gt; Benachrichtigungen</strong>.</li>



<li>Wählen Sie “Inhalt bei Sperrung ausblenden”.</li>



<li>Stellen Sie auf “In gesperrtem Zustand ausblenden”.</li>
</ol>



<p>Sie können das Ganze auch einzeln pro App festlegen, statt nur systemweit: Öffnen Sie dazu <strong>Einstellungen &gt; Apps &gt; [gewünschte App] &gt; Benachrichtigungen</strong> und legen Sie dort separat fest, ob Nachrichteninhalte dieser App auf dem Sperrbildschirm angezeigt oder ausgeblendet werden sollen. </p>



<p>Eine ausführliche Übersicht weiterer Schutzmaßnahmen finden Sie in diesem Ratgeber: <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3067254/android-datenschutzeinstellungen-smartphone-schuetzen-tipps.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Schützen Sie Ihr Smartphone mit diesen 7 Android-Datenschutzeinstellungen</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">3. Akku-Optimierung pro App statt pauschalem Sparmodus</h2>



<p>Den generischen Energiesparmodus finde ich zu grob, zumal ich Apps habe, die im Sparmodus nicht optimal laufen können. Deshalb schränke ich gezielt die Apps ein, die im Hintergrund unnötig Strom ziehen, und passe ein paar Display-Einstellungen an:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Öffnen Sie zunächst <strong>Einstellungen &gt; Akku. </strong>Unterhalb der Nutzungsanzeige sehen Sie, welche Apps am meisten Akku verbrauchen. Öffnen Sie nun diese akku-hungrigen Apps unter <strong>Einstellungen &gt; Apps &gt; [App] &gt; Akku</strong> und stellen Sie die Einstellung von “Nicht eingeschränkt” auf “Optimiert” oder “Eingeschränkt”.</li>



<li>Reduzieren Sie unter <strong>Einstellungen &gt; Anzeige</strong> die Bildwiederholrate von 90/120 Hertz auf 60 Hertz (bei Samsung “Standard“), falls Sie keine animationsreichen Spiele spielen und auch sonst nicht besonders auf butterweiches Scrollen angewiesen sind. Beim reinen Surfen, Chatten oder Videoschauen fällt Ihnen der Unterschied kaum auf, da Filme und Serien ohnehin überwiegend mit deutlich niedrigerer Bildrate laufen.</li>



<li>Deaktivieren Sie <strong>Always-on-Display </strong>(unter<strong> Einstellungen &gt; Sperrbildschirm und AOD</strong>), wenn Sie es ohnehin selten ansehen.</li>
</ol>



<p>Diese drei Handgriffe bringen im Alltag oft mehr als jeder Sparmodus-Knopf. Hier finden Sie eine vollständige Liste weiterer Stellschrauben: <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3154399/smartphone-mehr-akkulaufzeit-einstellungen.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">13 Einstellungen, mit denen Ihr Smartphone-Akku länger hält</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">4. Berührungsempfindlichkeit für Displayschutzfolien aktivieren</h2>



<p>Ohne Panzerglasfolie auf dem Display geht bei mir gar nichts. Allerdings kenne ich noch die Zeiten, in denen ich mich mit hakeligen Wischgesten und dem Entsperren per Fingerabdruck herumschlagen musste, weil die Touchscreen-Eingaben durch die Folien stark gedämpft waren.</p>



<p>Eines Tages bin ich auf die Einstellung “Berührungsempfindlichkeit“ gestoßen und – siehe da – alle Folien-Probleme haben sich in Luft aufgelöst. Diese Einstellung ändere ich deshalb bei jedem neuen Handy mit Schutzfolie sofort<strong>:</strong></p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Öffnen Sie <strong>Einstellungen &gt; Anzeige</strong>.</li>



<li>Suchen Sie den Punkt “Berührungsempfindlichkeit” und aktivieren Sie ihn.</li>
</ol>



<p>Mit aktivierter Berührungsempfindlichkeit reagiert der Touchscreen wieder so präzise wie ohne Folie. Sie werden den Unterschied sofort bemerken.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-text-color has-vivid-red-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-vivid-red-background-color has-background">



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">5. Automatisches Backup sofort aktivieren</h2>



<p>Zum Glück habe ich noch nie ein Backup meiner Daten benötigt, aber allein der Gedanke an ein verlorenes, gestohlenes oder kaputtes Handy ohne Sicherung reicht mir, um bei jedem neuen Gerät sofort vorzusorgen. Denn das Aktivieren geht wirklich super schnell und reibungslos:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Öffnen Sie <strong>Einstellungen &gt; Konten und Sicherung</strong>.</li>



<li>Falls Sie ein Samsung-Handy haben: Tippen Sie unter <strong>Samsung Cloud</strong> auf “Daten sichern”<strong>,</strong> um Kontakte, Kalender, Notizen und App-Daten geräteseitig zu sichern.</li>



<li>Aktivieren Sie zusätzlich im selben Menü das Backup über <strong>Google Drive</strong>, damit Ihre wichtigsten Daten auch herstellerunabhängig gesichert sind.</li>



<li>Öffnen Sie außerdem <strong>Google Fotos</strong> und schalten Sie dort separat die <strong>automatische Sicherung</strong> für Fotos und Videos ein.</li>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In der beschaulichen Gemeinde <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neubulach" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neubulach</a> im Nordschwarzwald nähe Calw wird derzeit Bau- und Digitalgeschichte geschrieben. Denn hier findet eine Weltpremiere statt: Es entsteht der weltweit erste Supermarkt aus dem 3D-Betondrucker. Mieter wird der Discounter Netto.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mit einer Grundfläche von rund 1.700 Quadratmetern und einer gedruckten Wandfläche von über 1.300 Quadratmetern setzt das Projekt neue Maßstäbe für den industriellen Einsatz automatisierter Bauverfahren. Wo früher Maurer Stein auf Stein setzten, ziehen heute zwei mobile <a href="https://instatiq.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instatiq</a> P1 Roboter (Progress One) präzise ihre Bahnen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roboter statt Kelle und Mörtel</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Maschinen spritzen den Beton Schicht für Schicht übereinander, bis Wände mit einer Höhe von bis zu sieben Metern entstehen. Dabei können die Roboter auf der Baustelle flexibel umgesetzt und neu positioniert werden. Das ermöglicht den Bau großflächiger Gewerbeimmobilien in Rekordzeit.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So wurde der gesamte Wandrohbau inklusive aller baulichen Schnittstellen in nur etwa vier Wochen realisiert. „Mit dem ersten gedruckten Supermarkt zeigen wir, dass 3D-Druck im realen Gewerbebau angekommen ist“, erklärt Markus Schilling von Instatiq. Gleichzeitig zeigt das Projekt, dass der 3D-Druck nicht länger nur für <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2800278/die-ersten-haeuser-aus-dem-printer.html?utm=hybrid_search">kleine Pilotprojekte oder Wohnhäuser</a> reserviert ist. Für Optimisten stellt er gar eine wirtschaftlich relevante Alternative für den großflächigen Handel dar.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Grüner Beton</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Während die Druckroboter die Hauptarbeit an den Wänden leisten, wird die Konstruktion durch konventionelle Bauteile wie Stützen und Ringbalken ergänzt. Diese Verzahnung von digitaler Bauvorbereitung und klassischem Rohbau war eine der Herausforderungen, die durch die Zusammenarbeit von Firmen wie <a href="https://nelcon.de/">Nelcon</a> und der Köhler Bauunternehmung gemeistert wurde.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/3D-Druck-Supermarkt-Neubulach_05-scaled_16_9.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Printing" class="wp-image-4201216" width="1024" height="576" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>Schicht für Schicht werden die Wände aus fast CO₂-neutralem Beton gedruckt.</p></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Aleksej Keksel</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Doch nicht nur die Technik ist revolutionär, sondern auch das Material. Zum ersten Mal wird bei einem solchen Großprojekt der Near-Zero-Zement evoZero von <a href="https://www.heidelbergmaterials.de/de" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Heidelberg Materials</a> eingesetzt. Dieser Zement basiert auf der sogenannten CCS-Technologie (Carbon Capture and Storage). Dabei wird das CO₂ direkt im Werk im norwegischen Brevik abgeschieden und anschließend dauerhaft im Meeresboden gespeichert.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nachhaltiger Gewerbebau</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Ergebnis ist ein 3D-Druckbeton, der signifikant weniger CO₂ verursacht, ohne dass die Rezeptur oder die technischen Eigenschaften – wie Pumpfähigkeit und Formstabilität – verändert wurden. Matthias Fischer von Heidelberg Materials betont denn auch: „Hier kommen zwei zukunftsweisende Ansätze unter realen Bedingungen zusammen: innovative Materialien und neue Bauverfahren.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Hinter dem Projekt steht ein breites Partnernetzwerk. Bauherr ist die Bäckerei Sehne, die das Gebäude nach Fertigstellung an den Lebensmittelhändler Netto Marken-Discount vermieten wird. Für Netto ist die Filiale in Neubulach ein klares Bekenntnis zu Innovation und Ressourcenschonung. So heißt es bei dem Discounter: „Der Einsatz von 3D-Druck zeigt, wie sich innovative Technologien bereits heute effizient und nachhaltiger im Filialbau einsetzen lassen.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unter dem Strich ist der Supermarkt in Neubulach mehr als nur ein Gebäude. Er ist schlicht ein Beweis dafür, dass automatisiertes, schnelles und nachhaltigeres Bauen keine Zukunftsmusik mehr ist. Mit rund 292 Kubikmetern Druckbeton ist das Projekt laut Instatiq derzeit das weltweit größte realisierte 3D-gedruckte Gebäude.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The initial hype has faded, leaving CIOs to drive real enterprise value. Based on my experience implementing Google, OpenAI and Anthropic technologies, here are the fundamental, technology-agnostic lessons every leader must anchor their strategy around.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>AI as a leadership multiplier</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The most common tactical error we see is treating AI as an isolated technology project. What I have observed among our customers is that true success does not come from organizations that define a standalone “AI strategy,” but rather from those leaders that integrate AI into their business strategy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When our customers isolate AI and define an AI strategy, it inevitably treats it like a “technological toy” to experiment with. This approach yields fragmented, orphaned initiatives that fail to scale because they are fundamentally disconnected from their core corporate objectives. What I learned is that AI is not the ultimate destination; it is a powerful catalyst. We have replaced “What can AI do for our customers?” with a more strategic question, “How does AI accelerate their existing business goals?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Think of AI like electricity. No modern corporation designs a standalone “electricity strategy.” Instead, all companies route it invisibly across the entire organization to illuminate offices, power production lines and drive communication. AI must be woven into the enterprise fabric in the exact same way, acting as an underlying utility that supercharges your existing operational model.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Integrating AI into the broader business strategy also dictates how we measure success. It forces a shift away from short-term tech vanity metrics and anchors the technology into a long-term roadmap.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When AI remains trapped within the IT department of our customers, we notice that it is relegated to a mere “software experiment.” To become a true competitive advantage, we observed that AI requires intense cross-functional orchestration. This perspective does not diminish the merit of the technical team; their expertise is fundamental for establishing the architecture, data governance and tools your enterprise requires. However, while IT builds the foundational infrastructure, it lacks the organizational authority to decide what should be built on top of it. Only the CEO or the owner of the company can step in to ensure AI leaves the “toy project” phase and integrates into the DNA of the organization.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The requirement for top-down, executive ownership stems from three critical realities observed in the field:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Silo-smashing and data collaboration:</strong> True enterprise AI is data-hungry and that data lives across disparate business lines, finance, operations, marketing and customer service. Only the CEO possesses the cross-functional authority to demand that data silos be dismantled.</li>



<li><strong>Cultural transformation and fear mitigation:</strong> AI triggers widespread anxiety over job displacement across all industries and hierarchies. When relegated to an “IT project,” resistance spikes as teams view it as a threat to their livelihoods. When I saw the CEO lead this cultural shift directly is when I noticed the best results.</li>



<li><strong>C-Suite education and strategic alignment:</strong> The mandate for AI capability cannot just be delegated downward; the transformation must begin at the very top. I have conducted more than 70 presentations for the Board of Directors and C-Level teams. These people need to be actively educated not on technical code, but on specific business use cases, return on investment (ROI) frameworks and how AI resolves core organizational bottlenecks.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/issues/c-suite-insights/ceo-survey.html">PwC’s data found that only 12% of enterprises have achieved both cost and revenue benefits from AI</a>. Those elite 12% succeeded precisely because their CEOs embedded AI extensively across <em>strategic decision-making and cross-functional workflows</em>. AI is simply too disruptive and too critical to be left exclusively in the hands of technical experts. If AI is not on the CEO’s weekly agenda, it is fundamentally missing from the company’s true strategy.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>AI as a new operational framework</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traditional IT systems have operated on strict algorithmic certainty: if you input a specific set of data, the system executes an immutable line of code and guarantees the same, predictable output every single time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI completely breaks this paradigm. Because modern AI is built on probabilistic models, it does not execute static formulas; instead, it predicts the most likely correct response based on mathematical probabilities. This means that AI solutions carry an inherent, small percentage of uncertainty and variability. A prompt entered today might yield a slightly different, though contextually valid, output tomorrow.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Executive leadership and organizational cultures must be actively educated to accept and navigate this fundamental shift. Traditional quality assurance frameworks for software are designed for a 100% success rate. Applying this rigid standard to AI will paralyze your initiatives, keeping 80% of your projects trapped eternally in the pilot phase. This happened to us in a food and beverage company in Latin America a couple of years ago. After this experience, we started to include conditions in our contracts that tolerate statistical margins of error and still define the project as a success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In terms of cost calculation, we had to teach CIOs and business managers to forget the monthly subscription model for AI and learn to manage the primary unit of exchange in modern AI: the token.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To understand AI costs, executives must understand how large language models process data. AI models do not read full words; instead, they break text, images or code down into “pieces” called tokens. As a baseline, every 100 words process as approximately 130 to 140 tokens. Because the major AI providers use the token as their currency, <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2604.22750">your business is billed dynamically based on the exact volume of tokens consumed</a> by every query submitted (input) and every response generated (output).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many leaders believe AI costs are fixed due to flat-rate enterprise tiers ($25–$30/user). This is a temporary illusion. These venture-capital-subsidized rates mask true operational costs and come with dynamic usage limits. Modeling long-term ROI on them guarantees a severe budget shock when true consumption pricing takes over.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The solution is not to halt AI adoption; doing so means losing your competitive edge. Instead, the cost per token must cease to be treated as a technical footnote relegated to the IT department. It must be elevated to a core business variable.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Risks in the AI adoption model</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since the beginning of the AI boom, I have seen all our customers making a critical tactical error that could cost them heavily in the medium term: they are focusing only on operational efficiency (reducing costs with AI).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have observed that an alarmingly high percentage of companies remain trapped in pilot phases focused exclusively on short-term cost reduction. <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/your-ai-budget-is-growing-your-returns-arent-heres-why/">Bain &amp; Company’s global Automation and AI Pathfinder Survey </a>found that the largest share of companies measuring their AI initiatives (exactly 40%) realized cost reductions of 10% or less, heavily missing their internal targets. Our customers are putting too many resources and effort into marginal financial gains and in doing so, they are jeopardizing their most valuable assets: service quality, resilience and customer trust.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Utilizing AI solely to slash headcount or cut operational corners is a dangerous trap that introduces severe field liabilities. A financial service organization in Latin America announced that they saved $1 million in customer support by replacing humans with AI chatbots. However, the mid-term reality revealed a different story: a damaged brand reputation due to AI errors and an influx of frustrated clients fleeing because the automated system cannot handle special cases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Putting a company on an extreme AI diet might make it look leaner on next quarter’s financial statement, but over-indexing on cost-cutting will ultimately leave the business too weak to compete when market dynamics shift. We are now inviting our customers to change the question from <em>“How much money will AI save us?”</em> to <em>“How will we leverage AI to exponentially increase the long-term value of our enterprise?”</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deploying enterprise AI is a marathon, not a sprint, and the terrain changes with every mile. The organizations that thrive in this next era will be those that transition from fascination to discipline, treating AI not as a magic bullet for immediate savings, but as a core capability that demands rigorous governance, architectural foresight and cultural maturity. Navigating this shift requires moving past the theoretical hype and anchoring decisions in raw, field-tested reality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As we continue to deploy these technologies across industries, the blueprint for success is being rewritten in real time. Let’s keep this conversation going as we map out the future of business intelligence together.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traditional phishing techniques are in decline as a result of the <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4140890/microsoft-leads-takedown-of-tycoon2fa-phishing-service-infrastructure.html">disruption of the Tycoon2FA phishing-as-a-service (PHaaS) platform</a>, Microsoft said in a new report, “Email threat landscape: Q2 2026 trends and insights”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Phishing volume linked to the platform fell 92% from pre-disruption averages, including QR code phishing and CAPTCHA-gated phishing both declining from their March highs,” the company wrote in <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2026/07/23/email-threat-landscape-q2-2026-trends-and-insights/">the report</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The takedown reduced activity across multiple phishing categories, forcing attackers to shift to newer delivery methods.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Riding this shift in were a few notable phishing campaigns, including an automated <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/575559/business-email-compromise-scams-take-new-dimension-with-multi-stage-attacks.html">business email compromise</a> (BEC) campaign that reached 42,000 organizations in under three hours, and a multi-stage phishing campaign that used nested email (EML) files, calendar invitations, and a Microsoft authentication redirect to deliver malware.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To counter phishing attacks, Microsoft recommends blocking emails containing known bad URLs/ subject fields, enabling password-less authentication methods, or moving to <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4176814/security-experts-caution-mfa-alone-can-no-longer-stop-threat-actors.html">MFA</a> for accounts that still require passwords.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tycoon2FA disruption sent attackers exploring</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The take-down of <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4100393/hybrid-2fa-phishing-kits-are-making-attacks-harder-to-detect.html">Tycoon2FA</a> forced its operators to abandon portions of their infrastructure and rework hosting, domain registrations, and delivery mechanisms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“After falling 15% in March and another 22% in April, Tycoon2FA-linked phishing volume dropped 74% in May to just 1.5 million messages, then fell another 20% in June to 1.2 million, by far the lowest monthly volumes observed in at least a year,” Microsoft said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The decline extended to QR Code <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3557585/attackers-are-using-qr-codes-sneakily-crafted-in-ascii-and-blob-urls-in-phishing-emails.html">lures</a> and fake CAPTCHA <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3829416/fake-captcha-attacks-are-increasing-say-experts.html">pages</a>, two phishing techniques in which Tycoon2FA accounted for 12% and 14% of industry activity in June, respectively. This indicated that the platform’s customer base had not been able to migrate to a replacement infrastructure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But cutting off one head of the hacker hydra only gave rise to new tactics elsewhere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The adaptation came in the form of using Microsoft <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4160858/attackers-abuse-microsoft-teams-to-impersonate-the-it-helpdesk-in-a-new-enterprise-intrusion-playbook.html">Teams as a social engineering channel</a>. Attackers established conversations to build trust before attempting credential theft or delivering malicious payloads. “Teams-based phishing volume climbed steadily throughout Q2, with the average number of detected attacks rising 19% from March to April, holding roughly flat into May (+1%), then increasing another 10% into June,” Microsoft said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft also observed a highly automated BEC campaign that reached over 67,000 users using scripted emails, Amazon Simple Email Service (SES), and engagement tracking, alongside a separate phishing campaign targeting 107,000 users that abused Microsoft’s authentication flow and trusted cloud services, including Teams archive recording and ICS calendar invite, to disguise malware delivery behind legitimate infrastructure.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Phishing changes but the defense doesn’t</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While QR Code and Captcha-based phishing attacks dropped significantly in the second quarter, business email compromise (BEC) charted jumped 121% between March and April, before dropping down again in May.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">QR Code phishing represented 8.3 million attacks in June 2026, down from a peak of 18.7 million in March. Similarly, Captcha-gated phishing fell from 12 million attacks in March to 2.2 million in June.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BEC attacks hit 9 million in March, falling to 3.9 million in June.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But even as these phishing classics lost momentum and newer techniques emerged, Microsoft’s defensive advice remained rooted in the basics. It noted organizations should complement email filtering with phishing-resistant authentication such as passkeys and phishing-resistant <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3535222/mfa-adoption-is-catching-up-but-is-not-quite-there.html">MFA</a> to reduce the effectiveness of credential theft campaigns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company also recommended strengthening Exchange Online Protection and Microsoft Defender for Office 365 with capabilities such as Safe links and Zero-hour Auto Purge (ZAP), in which malicious emails already delivered to mailboxes are removed before they are read, alongside enforcing password-less authentication methods like Windows Hello, <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4040128/fido-undermined.html">FIDO </a>keys, and Microsoft Authenticator.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft concluded its report with a list of indicators of compromise (IoCs) from the threats observed in the quarter to support detection efforts.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But cutting off one head of the hacker hydra only gave rise to new tactics elsewhere.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The adaptation came in the form of using Microsoft <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4160858/attackers-abuse-microsoft-teams-to-impersonate-the-it-helpdesk-in-a-new-enterprise-intrusion-playbook.html">Teams as a social engineering channel</a>. Attackers established conversations to build trust before attempting credential theft or delivering malicious payloads. “Teams-based phishing volume climbed steadily throughout Q2, with the average number of detected attacks rising 19% from March to April, holding roughly flat into May (+1%), then increasing another 10% into June,” Microsoft said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft also observed a highly automated BEC campaign that reached over 67,000 users using scripted emails, Amazon Simple Email Service (SES), and engagement tracking, alongside a separate phishing campaign targeting 107,000 users that abused Microsoft’s authentication flow and trusted cloud services, including Teams archive recording and ICS calendar invite, to disguise malware delivery behind legitimate infrastructure.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Phishing changes but the defense doesn’t</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While QR Code and Captcha-based phishing attacks dropped significantly in the second quarter, business email compromise (BEC) charted jumped 121% between March and April, before dropping down again in May.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">QR Code phishing represented 8.3 million attacks in June 2026, down from a peak of 18.7 million in March. Similarly, Captcha-gated phishing fell from 12 million attacks in March to 2.2 million in June.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BEC attacks hit 9 million in March, falling to 3.9 million in June.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But even as these phishing classics lost momentum and newer techniques emerged, Microsoft’s defensive advice remained rooted in the basics. It noted organizations should complement email filtering with phishing-resistant authentication such as passkeys and phishing-resistant <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/3535222/mfa-adoption-is-catching-up-but-is-not-quite-there.html">MFA</a> to reduce the effectiveness of credential theft campaigns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company also recommended strengthening Exchange Online Protection and Microsoft Defender for Office 365 with capabilities such as Safe links and Zero-hour Auto Purge (ZAP), in which malicious emails already delivered to mailboxes are removed before they are read, alongside enforcing password-less authentication methods like Windows Hello, <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4040128/fido-undermined.html">FIDO </a>keys, and Microsoft Authenticator.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Microsoft concluded its report with a list of indicators of compromise (IoCs) from the threats observed in the quarter to support detection efforts.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is a business analyst?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Business analysts (BAs) are responsible for bridging the gap between IT and the business using <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/191313/what-is-data-analytics-analyzing-and-managing-data-for-decisions.html">data analytics</a> to assess processes, determine requirements, and deliver data-driven recommendations and reports to executives and stakeholders.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BAs engage with business leaders and users to understand how data-driven changes to process, products, services, software, and hardware can improve efficiencies and add value. They must articulate those ideas but also balance them against what’s technologically feasible and financially and functionally reasonable. Depending on the role, a business analyst might work with data sets to improve products, hardware, tools, software, services, or process.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), a nonprofit professional association, considers the business analyst an agent of change, and says that <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/191157/what-is-business-analytics-using-data-to-predict-business-outcomes.html">business analysis</a> is a disciplined approach to introduce and manage change to organizations, whether they’re for-profit businesses, governments, or nonprofits.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impact of AI on business analyst role</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As AI becomes commonplace in the tech industry, business analysts are embracing it as a tool to automate repetitive work in the role. AI tools can be used for workflow and diagramming, process mapping, data analysis, and to automate meeting minutes and transcribe meetings where requirements are established, all designed to speed up the process of analyzing data, creating visuals, and transcribing and writing user stories and acceptance criteria.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI tools can also help identify patterns, insights, and unique data points that might go unnoticed by humans, and allow a faster time to generate insights for organizations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, as with all AI tools, they still require humans to oversee prompts, scripting, and evaluate AI outputs to ensure they’re accurate and valid. While they can’t replace the work of BAs, AI can help them spend more time on thoughtful analysis and decision making, rather than mundane tasks such as gathering and summarizing data, and querying.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analyst job description</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BAs are responsible for creating new models that support business decisions by working closely with finance and IT teams to establish initiatives and strategies aimed at improving revenue and optimizing costs. They need a strong understanding of regulatory and reporting requirements, and have plenty of experience in forecasting, budgeting, and financial analysis combined with knowing KPIs, according to Robert Half Technology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Robert Half, a BA’s job description typically includes budgeting and forecasting, planning and monitoring, variance analysis, pricing, reporting, and creating a detailed business analysis in an effort to outline problems, opportunities, and solutions for a business. It also says BAs should be able to define business requirements and report them back to stakeholders.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since BAs are tasked with prioritizing technical and functional requirements, identifying what clients want, and determining what’s feasible to deliver, the role requires a deep understanding of systems, how they function, who’ll need to be involved, and the necessary steps to get everyone on board.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The role is constantly evolving, especially as companies rely more on data to advise business operations. Every company has different issues that a business analyst can address, whether it’s dealing with outdated legacy systems, changing technologies, broken processes, poor client or customer satisfaction, or large, siloed organizations.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analyst skills</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The BA position requires both hard and soft skills, as they need to know how to pull, analyze, and report data trends, share that information with others, and apply it to business goals and needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not all BAs need a background in IT if they have a general understanding of how systems, products, and tools work. Alternatively, some have strong IT backgrounds and less experience in business, but are interested in shifting away from IT into this hybrid role, which often acts as a communicator between the business and IT sides of the organization. So having extensive experience in either area can be beneficial for BAs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.iiba.org/career-resources/new-to-business-analysis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">According to the IIBA</a>, some of the most important skills and experience for a business analyst are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Oral and written communication skills</li>



<li>Interpersonal, organizational, facilitation, and consultative skills</li>



<li>Analytical thinking and problem solving</li>



<li>Being detail-oriented and able to deliver a high level of accuracy</li>



<li>Knowledge of business structure</li>



<li>Stakeholder and cost-benefit analysis</li>



<li>Processes modeling</li>



<li>Understanding networks, databases, and other technologies</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analyst salary</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The average annual salary for an IT business analyst is $80,692, according to <a href="https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Business_Analyst%2C_IT/Salary" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from PayScale</a>. The highest paid BAs are in New York, where the average salary is 14% higher than the national average. Dallas, Texas, is second, with reported salaries 6.4% higher than the national average, closely followed by Washington, D.C., where salaries are 6.3% higher than the national average.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some skills are in higher demand than others, with the potential to boost salary. According to Payscale, these are associated with higher BA salaries. These skills, and the amount they can boost your salary, include:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><div class="overflow-table-wrapper"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>Skills</td><td>Salary Boost</td></tr><tr><td>ScrumMaster</td><td>44%</td></tr><tr><td>Microsoft Azure</td><td>30%</td></tr><tr><td>Supply Chain</td><td>27%</td></tr><tr><td>Oracle eBusiness Suite</td><td>25%</td></tr><tr><td>Master Data Management (SAP MDM)</td><td>24%</td></tr><tr><td>SAP Sales and Distribution (SAP SD)</td><td>24%</td></tr><tr><td>Product Support</td><td>18%</td></tr><tr><td>Microsoft Dynamics GP</td><td>18%</td></tr><tr><td>SAP Quality Management (SAP QM)</td><td>18%</td></tr><tr><td>Workday Software</td><td>15%</td></tr></tbody></table> </div></figure>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analyst certifications</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Although business analysis is a relatively new discipline in IT, a handful of organizations already offer certifications to help boost your résumé and prove your merit as an analyst. Organizations such as the IIBA, IQBBA, IREB, and PMI each offer their own tailored certifications for business analysis. These include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>IIBA <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/189169/ecba-certification-an-entry-level-credential-for-business-analysts.html">Entry Certificate in Business Analysis (ECBA)</a></li>



<li>IIBA Certification of Competency in Business Analysis (CCBA)</li>



<li>IIBA Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP)</li>



<li>IIBA Agile Analysis Certification (AAC)</li>



<li>IQBBA Certified Foundation Level Business Analyst (CFLBA)</li>



<li>IREB Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering (CPRE)</li>



<li>PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PBA)</li>



<li>Certified Analytics Professional (CAP)</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For more information about how to earn one of these certifications — and how much they cost — click <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/228834/6-business-analyst-certifications-to-advance-your-analytics-career.html">here</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Business analytics tools and software</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">BAs typically rely on software such as Microsoft’s Excel, PowerPoint, and Access, as well as SQL, Google Analytics, and Tableau. These tools help BAs collect and sort data, create graphs, write documents, and design visualizations to explain findings. You won’t necessarily need programming or database skills for a BA position, but if you already have these skills, they won’t hurt. The type of software and tools you’ll need to use, however, will depend on your job title and what the organization requires.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For years, I have been saying that cybersecurity is no longer a technology problem. It has become a business leadership challenge.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet, despite record levels of spending, ever-growing security teams, increasingly sophisticated technologies and a constant stream of new regulations, organizations continue to suffer major cyber incidents with alarming regularity. Every week seems to bring news of another ransomware attack, supply chain compromise or data breach affecting organizations that many would have assumed were well protected.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The obvious conclusion is that we are asking the wrong questions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Too many executive teams remain preoccupied with the latest threat actor, the newest security product the CISO wants to buy or the latest vulnerability making headlines. Those issues matter, but they are not what should be keeping CEOs awake at night.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In my view, there are three far more fundamental issues that deserve the attention of every chief executive.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Corporate complexity, and the widening gap between business leadership and cybersecurity reality</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps the biggest cybersecurity risk facing large organizations today is not technical at all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is the growing disconnect between executive perception and operational reality.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many boards genuinely believe their organizations are reasonably well protected. They receive regular dashboards showing improving maturity scores, increasing compliance levels, falling vulnerability counts and reassuring traffic-light reports.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately, cyber attackers do not read dashboards.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Behind those executive reports often lies an increasingly complex technology landscape, thousands of unmanaged digital assets, ageing infrastructure, rampant shadow IT, fragmented ownership, inconsistent governance and security teams struggling to keep pace with relentless business change.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The problem is rarely a lack of effort.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is that corporate complexity has reached a level where traditional governance mechanisms are no longer capable of providing an accurate picture of organizational resilience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Executives believe they understand the level of cyber risk they face because they receive regular reports. Those reports often measure activity rather than resilience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Governance committees end up debating around another percentage point of phishing awareness or vulnerability remediation, while fundamental issues remain unaddressed in the background.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Organizational inertia, and the need for executive structure to evolve faster</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cyber criminals continue to evolve rapidly. Large organizations generally do not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the second issue that should concern every CEO.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Throughout my career, I have observed organizations repeatedly responding to new cyber threats by adding another technology platform, another monitoring capability, another compliance framework or another governance committee.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Very rarely do they stop to redesign how cybersecurity operates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The result is what I described several years ago as the “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cybersecurity-Spiral-Failure-How-Break/dp/1637353057/">Cybersecurity Spiral of Failure</a>”.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>As complexity and regulation increase, organizations invest in more security products.</li>



<li>More products create more complexity.</li>



<li>More products and greater complexity generate more alerts.</li>



<li>More alerts require more analysts.</li>



<li>More analysts produce more reports.</li>



<li>More reports continue to build up executive confidence.</li>



<li>Meanwhile, the underlying structural weaknesses remain largely unchanged, technical debt piles up and costs escalate.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And when the inevitable breach eventually happens, reality reveals itself, but distrust also sets in between senior executives and security teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not a funding problem. Nor is it a skills problem. It is fundamentally an operating model problem.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Many organizations continue trying to solve twenty-first century challenges using governance, accountability, organizational and reporting structures designed twenty-five years ago.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The cybersecurity function itself has evolved dramatically. Many executive structures have not.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This organizational inertia extends beyond technology: It affects budgeting cycles, <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4193990/reallocating-cybersecurity-capital-in-the-mythos-era.html">investment priorities</a>, procurement processes, accountability models and decision-making speed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cyber attackers innovate every day. Organizational change often takes years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That imbalance should worry every CEO.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Accelerating technological disruption, and how it challenges organizations in areas where they are intrinsically weak</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The third issue is potentially the most significant over the coming decade.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Artificial intelligence, autonomous agents and machine identities</li>



<li>Software supply chain complexity.</li>



<li>Quantum computing, and post-quantum cryptography</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Each of these developments represents far more than another technical trend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Together, they fundamentally change the dynamics of cybersecurity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artificial intelligence is transforming countless business processes. At the same time, it is also increasing both the speed and sophistication of cyber-attacks while simultaneously transforming defensive capabilities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Organizations have become increasingly dependent on software ecosystems that extend far beyond their own direct control. Engaging with the supply chain in ways that lead to a genuine appreciation of the risks involved has become a key challenge for most cybersecurity practices.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quantum computing may eventually invalidate much of today’s cryptographic algorithms, forcing organizations into one of the largest technology efforts since Y2K — but without the benefit of a fixed deadline and faced by a problem that is considerably more complex and hyperconnected IT estates that have little to do with those of the late 90s.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of these challenges can be solved overnight: They require clear governance, sustained investment over a few years and cross-functional organizational coordination.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most large organizations are weak on those three fronts: This is precisely why CEOs should be focusing on them now.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Waiting until some of those risks become obvious will almost certainly be too late.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Businesses naturally prioritise immediate commercial pressures. Cybersecurity often involves preparing for risks whose timing remains uncertain.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But one of the greatest leadership failures I keep seeing remains the inability of organizations to act decisively on known unknowns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That tension explains why many organizations delay action until external events force them to respond. Unfortunately, cybersecurity rarely rewards late action.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Leadership will determine who succeeds</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cybersecurity discussions still frequently focus on technology. I believe they should focus far more on leadership.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Technology will continue evolving. Threat actors will continue adapting. Regulations will continue expanding. Those developments are inevitable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What remains within the control of every CEO is how their organization responds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Does cybersecurity remain an IT issue? Or is it recognised as an integral part of business resilience?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How is cybersecurity accountability assigned at executive level? Or does it still rest largely with a CISO hidden in the organization?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Does the board spend sufficient time discussing resilience? Or does cybersecurity appear only when approving budgets or reviewing incidents?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These questions will increasingly determine organizational success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The companies that navigate the next decade successfully will not necessarily be those spending the most on cybersecurity. Nor will they be those deploying the latest security technologies first.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">They will be the organizations whose leadership recognises that cybersecurity has become a permanent business capability — embedded into governance, strategy, operational decision-making and organizational culture.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That transformation cannot be delegated. It begins with the CEO.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And perhaps that is the single biggest issue that should keep every chief executive awake at night: Not when the next cyber-attack will happen, but whether their organization is evolving quickly enough on those matters to meet a threat landscape that is changing much faster than the business itself.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Predicting an outage is tricky business, but CIOs might want to circle Oct. 11, 2026, through Jan. 11, 2027, for likely trouble of a potentially widespread and puzzling nature.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s because a relatively trivial update to DNSSEC on Oct. 11, one that will take full effect by Jan. 11, is likely to deliver a series of seemingly unrelated system outages. This will come from oceans of dependencies from third-party, shadow, agentic, gen AI, SaaS, homegrown, and legacy apps — among many other quiet executable hiding spots, including virtual environments and containers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshithak/">Sai Joshitha Kathari</a>, senior site reliability engineer at payment card giant Visa, says most enterprises have far more DNS-related exposure than they realize because of these many dependencies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This has the potential to create real downstream destruction when unresolved failures sit underneath important business functions,” Kathari says. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The danger is that so many of these issues are either unknown to IT or handled by a third-party vendor and no one in IT has had reason to ask those vendors about DNS updates. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The risky areas are usually not the obvious managed DNS services. They are the older internal applications, hardcoded resolvers, containerized workloads, sidecar configurations, custom scripts, partner integrations, VM images, stale base images, and service-to-service dependencies that nobody has touched in a long time,” Kathari explains. “These systems can keep working quietly for years, then fail during a DNS or certificate-related change because they bypassed the normal platform standards.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Independent technology analyst <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carmi/">Carmi Levy</a> says that CIOs need to take this event very seriously. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The two-pronged deadline — October 11, 2026, when the new Key Signing Key (KSK) begins signing the root zone, and January 11, 2027, when the old key is retired — should be marked in red on everyone’s calendar, just as December 31, 1999, once was,” Levy says. “Failure to comply could result in websites, critical business applications, and related resources dropping off the face of the Earth once the transition is complete.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Levy adds: “Custom-built code that lives outside conventional support mechanisms may or may not function when the DNS changes go into effect.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/press-material/release-2026-05-20-en">DNSSEC update itself</a> is straightforward, but it is also the first significant DNSSEC change — specifically a change in the trust anchor — since 2018. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The rollout statement noted that “the trust anchor is formally known as the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) root zone Key Signing Key (KSK). The KSK is the cryptographic key at the core of the DNSSEC trust anchor and is used to verify that DNS responses are legitimate and have not been modified in transit.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expect nearly every enterprise to be impacted</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimdavies/">Kim Davies</a>, vice president of IANA Services and president of public technical identifiers at ICANN, says the extent of the impact on enterprises is unknowable, given the nature of shadow IT and other edge cases. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But based on the massive number of dependencies both known and unknown in the typical global enterprise, Davies guesses that just about every enterprise will be impacted, to varying degrees. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“In highly complex organizations, it is very likely there will be some impact in the corners, in the margins, of the organization,” Davies tells CIO. “DNS is such a core technology that underpins everything.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the updates propagate, hiccups will materialize, Davies notes. “When the system cannot validate the [DNS] information, it will treat it as suspect and DNS lookups will fail.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Visa’s Kathari says, “Enterprises should expect some secondary DNS-related glitches when major DNSSEC-related changes happen, not necessarily because the core infrastructure teams will ignore the update, but because large environments have many hidden dependency paths.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Making this problem far worse, Kathari notes, is that the glitches will likely initially look like anything other thana DNS glitch. That will force IT staff to waste a vast number of hours chasing causes that ultimately prove to be unrelated to the incidents. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The impact for CIOs is that DNS failures rarely announce themselves as DNS failures. They look like application timeouts, broken logins, failed API calls, queue lag, payment failures, partner connectivity issues, or random regional instability,” Kathari explains. “That makes troubleshooting slower because teams may spend hours looking at the application, database, network, or cloud provider before realizing name resolution is part of the failure path.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://greyhoundresearch.com/svg/">Sanchit Vir Gogia</a>, chief analyst at Greyhound Research, agrees that IT will likely spin its wheels chasing the wrong ghosts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“A validation failure rarely stays in its lane. It surfaces as an application error, an API timeout, or a reachability problem, which turns a resolver fault into a coordination failure,” Gogia says. “The application team blames the network, the network team blames the cloud, and the user simply watches work stop.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Images and templates are the frontier most teams miss,” Gogia adds. “A resolver fixed in summer can be broken again in October the instant a stale golden image is redeployed, because automation no longer lets configuration drift slowly. It restores yesterday’s assumptions at machine speed.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is widely expected that enterprises will not have any problems executing the change or, more likely, relying on their hyperscalers to properly handle the change. That is the concern. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“CIOs are being distracted so much with AI and this is such a deep in the weeds infrastructure issue that this can and willcatch people off-guard,” <a href="https://acceligence.com/talent/profiles/justin-greis/">Justin Greis</a>, CEO of consulting firm Acceligence, tells CIO. “I think we’ll see a meaningful number of enterprise disruptions associated with the DNSSEC trust anchor rollover. Not because the update itself is especially difficult, but because it will expose weaknesses that already exist inside many organizations.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most enterprise IT operations have had no reason to compile a comprehensive list of all DNS dependencies, but many will be instantly discovered in January. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potentially widespread fallout</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A major retailer, for example, might suddenly be unable to connect with FedEx to arrange for deliveries or a hospital may find that test results are no longer being shared with patient portals. It might manifest as an assembly line that halts because an IIoT component can no longer share files with its vendor system or a truck fleet that stops being tracked. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“There will almost certainly be systems that fall through the cracks. Some will be legacy applications that rely on outdated DNS configurations that have not been updated in years,” Greis says. “Others will be business-unit-developed tools, contractor-built solutions, embedded systems, manufacturing and industrial systems, or highly customized workloads that operate outside normal IT oversight. These are the types of systems that often surface during infrastructure events like this.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Greis adds that many enterprises will discover in January problems created by their own automation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Over time, enterprises build layers of processes, templates, and deployment mechanisms that are reused across teams and environments,” Greis notes. “Even after DNS infrastructure is updated correctly, older settings can inadvertently be reintroduced through routine updates and system changes, creating intermittent and difficult-to-diagnose failures.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The good news from this situation is that enterprises are not going to likely lose all DNS access if any of these glitches occur. But that may be of no comfort because even if the disruptions are only with small edge cases, that can still cause massive operational disruptions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cricketliu/">Cricket Liu</a>, EVP and chief evangelist at Infoblox, gives the example of a DNS server that responds to factory-floor system queries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Or let’s say this disrupts [an enterprise’s key] SaaS application. All name resolution may stop and it will show a server failure. It will not deliver a response whenever I look anything up. That’s not subtle at all,” Liu says. “It’s highly likely that companies are going to see some effects.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Back in 2017, the switchover was relatively uneventful, giving some CIOs hope that January 2027 will also be a non-event. But given the technology advancements in the last 10 years and the resulting tidal wave of new enterprise tech dependencies, few are realistically expecting no problems this go around. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Impossible to predict what will happen</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the top network experts on DNS effects in enterprises is <a href="https://blog.apnic.net/author/geoff-huston/">Geoff Huston</a>, chief scientist at the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), the regional Internet Registry administering IP addresses for the Asia Pacific region.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Huston says it is difficult to project what will happen in January until it happens.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Just like the last time, we are flying blind with this key roll. Because nothing really terrible happened last time, there is some confidence that nothing terrible will happen this time, but we just can’t tell in advance as there are no good measurement approaches that allow us to peek inside the trust state of recursive resolvers,” he says.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As for potential edge-case glitches, Huston says it is possible, but if third-party vendors do not properly handle the update, there will be other issues as well, as the KSK cryptographic key used within DNSSEC signs and validates the keys that protect DNS records. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“If it is not standards-compliant, then you have more problems than just the KSK roll,” Huston says, “as it raises the obvious question of ‘What else is not correctly implemented in the DNS resolver that I’m running?’”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a silver lining, Acceligence’s Greis says any hiccups that result from the DNS KSK update may be a gift in disguise for CIOs. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The irony is that some of the most business-critical components in the technology stack are often the least visible because they work in the background,” Greis says. January “may reveal how much modern business resilience depends on infrastructure that many organizations rarely examine until something breaks. For CIOs, that’s the real lesson. This is not fundamentally a story about a DNS update. It is a story about operational visibility, resilience, and governance. Organizations that treat the rollover as a routine infrastructure task will likely complete the update and move on. Organizations that use it as an opportunity to understand and strengthen the foundations of their technology environment may gain far more value than simply avoiding an outage.”</p>

						<div class="article-column__content">
<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Late in a large enterprise SAP transformation, the strategic governance conversations began to drift. Instead of executive decisions, we found ourselves debating whether the program needed dedicated testing, whether cutover required a full weekend, whether twenty Agile teams really needed coordination support and whether offshore resources were adding value at all.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The questions were not coming from the delivery teams. They were coming from the executive sponsor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The sponsor had recently been elevated into a senior leadership role and had never sponsored a technology transformation at this scale. The challenge was not authority. The sponsor had every right to ask any question they wanted. The challenge was that strategic governance had quietly turned into a debate about delivery practices, because the sponsor did not yet have the transformation context to focus the conversation anywhere else.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not a story about a bad sponsor. The executive in this case was a capable senior leader with strong judgment and authentic intent. They had been placed into a role they had not yet been prepared for, and the pattern that followed was structural, not personal. It is one of the more common patterns I have observed across enterprise transformation programs, and one of the most consistently misdiagnosed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most program failures are not execution failures. They are sponsor mismatches.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When governance becomes a debate about delivery practices</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the sponsor does not understand what an enterprise transformation actually requires, governance forums stop functioning as decision bodies and start functioning as practice debates.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You see it in the questions that get asked. Why do we need a dedicated testing phase? Can the Build timeline be compressed? Why does cutover need a full weekend? Why do we need more Scrum Masters across 20 product teams? Can the US team simply work longer hours instead of using offshore resources? On one program, the sponsor suggested shifting the entire project’s working hours to India time, despite roughly 85 percent of the delivery organization being based in the United States.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">None of these questions are unreasonable in isolation. Each one targets a real cost or timeline pressure. The problem is what is missing underneath them: an understanding of the operational risks the original choices were designed to mitigate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When sponsors ask delivery-practice questions without that context, the program leadership team ends up defending the work instead of advancing it. Decision velocity drops. Trust between the program and its sponsor erodes. Senior delivery talent disengages from governance forums where the conversation never reaches the decisions they need made. What looks from the outside like an active sponsor producing engagement is, from inside the program, an active drain on the cycles needed to deliver.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The compounding cost is not unique to any single program. <a href="https://www.pmi.org/blog/why-executive-sponsorship-fuels-projects">PMI’s research on executive sponsorship</a> consistently identifies sponsor engagement quality, rather than sponsor presence alone, as one of the strongest predictors of project success. The visible symptom is debate. The actual cost is unmade decisions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Authority is rarely the issue. Literacy is</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When transformations stall under a mismatched sponsor, the diagnostic instinct is to question the sponsor’s authority. Are they senior enough? Do they have the cross-functional reach? Can they unblock?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In most of the programs I have led or advised, authority was not the limiting factor. The sponsor in the SAP program above had ample authority. They could unblock any decision the program needed. What had not been developed was the transformation literacy to know which decisions mattered, which were technical noise and which were execution risks that should not be optimized away.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is what I have come to think of as the literacy problem. Sponsors elevated into transformation roles often have deep functional expertise (finance, operations, business unit leadership) but limited exposure to the distinct functions of PMO, organizational change management, agile delivery, testing and cutover, and how each one reduces a specific category of implementation risk. They are not expected to be SAP configuration experts. But they need enough transformation literacy to recognize which questions actually belong in a steering committee.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://hbr.org/2015/05/how-to-be-an-effective-executive-sponsor">Harvard Business Review’s research on effective executive sponsorship</a> has emphasized that sponsorship effectiveness depends as much on judgment as on authority. Judgment is where literacy becomes operational. A sponsor with authority but limited transformation literacy will optimize for speed and cost in ways that consistently underestimate risk. A sponsor with both will make the tradeoffs the program actually needs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.prosci.com/resources/articles/change-management-best-practices">Prosci’s longstanding benchmark studies on change management</a> have ranked active and visible executive sponsorship as the single greatest contributor to change success for two decades. The word that matters in that finding is active. Active sponsorship without transformation literacy can introduce real cost. Not because the sponsor is acting against the program, but because the optimization choices they make are based on incomplete information about what the program is built to protect against.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shift the conversation from delivery practices to business risk</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When the sponsor relationship is already in place and cannot be changed, the program leadership team has one move that consistently works: shift the conversation.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the SAP program above, we stopped explaining why the testing phase existed. We started explaining the business risk of reducing it. We stopped debating the number of Scrum Masters. We started connecting delivery capacity to coordination across more than twenty Agile teams and the business cost of losing that coordination. We reframed offshore support as a way to maintain delivery momentum around the clock rather than asking the U.S. team to sustain fifteen-hour days.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The shift is from defending delivery practice to explaining business risk. The sponsor does not need to understand why testing takes the time it does. They need to understand what the program is exposed to if testing is compressed. They do not need to know how many Scrum Masters are statistically optimal for twenty Agile teams. They need to know what coordination breaks when the number is wrong.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This reframing accomplishes two things. First, it brings the conversation back to the level at which sponsors actually make decisions: tradeoffs between business outcomes and business risks. Second, it builds transformation literacy in the sponsor over time, almost as a byproduct. By the third or fourth iteration of business-risk-framed conversations, the sponsor begins to ask the right questions on their own.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In practice, this happens through small but deliberate moves. When the sponsor asks why a phase needs the time it takes, the program lead names two or three things that could go wrong if the time is cut and what each would cost the business. When the sponsor asks why a role is needed, the program lead names the work that would not get done without it. Every delivery-practice question gets converted into a business-risk answer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The program leadership team’s job is not to make the sponsor an expert in SAP delivery. It is to provide enough transformation context so that executive decisions reflect both business priorities and implementation realities.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are a few phrases I have used with executive sponsors over the years that capture the underlying issue. The sharpest one:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">If the decision has to go above the sponsor, they are not the sponsor.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sponsorship is defined by what the sponsor can decide without asking someone else. That is the test. Anything else is the appearance of sponsorship, not the substance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For CIOs supporting enterprise transformation, the implication is direct. Sponsor selection, or sponsor preparation when selection is not an option, is not a hierarchy question. It is a transformation capability question. The same execution discipline that goes into defining decision rights, structuring governance and protecting delivery momentum should apply, with equal rigor, to assessing sponsor fit and building sponsor literacy before the program begins.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A sponsor does not need to be the technical expert. They do need to know when to trust the people who are.</p>

<p>Ein Netflix-Abo hat mittlerweile so gut wie jeder, doch der eine oder andere wartet vielleicht noch auf eine Möglichkeit, das Streaming-Angebot kostenlos zu testen. Das war seit den Anfängen von Netflix nicht mehr möglich, doch jetzt gibt es wieder einen kostenlosen Probezeitraum.</p>



<p>Bis zu 30 Tage können Sie den Streamingtest jetzt kostenlos nutzen. Teilweise werden auch nur 14 Tage angeboten, der Gratis-Zeitraum scheint also je nach Standort oder genutztem Browser zu variieren. Auf der Webseite von <a href="https://www.netflix.com/de/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Netflix Deutschland</a> wurden uns auch nur 14 Tage für 0 Euro angezeigt. Es kann aber helfen, wenn Sie auf ein anderes Gerät wechseln oder Cookies löschen.</p>

<p><strong>Wichtig:</strong> Das Angebot gilt explizit nur für Neukunden, nicht für wiederkehrende Abonnenten. Allerdings ist es recht einfach, diesen Umstand zu umgehen, wenn Sie sich einfach mit einer anderen E-Mail-Adresse als zuvor registrieren. Dann haben Sie zwar keinen Zugriff auf Ihren alten Account inklusive persönlicher Daten, Listen und Streaming-Historie, doch das ist sicher zu verschmerzen.</p>



<p>Nach Ablauf des Probezeitraums müssen Sie sich für ein Abo entscheiden (oder vorher kündigen). Zur Wahl stehen<strong> Standard mit Werbung</strong> für 4,99 Euro monatlich, <strong>Standard</strong> ohne Werbung für 13,99 Euro monatlich oder <strong>Premium</strong> für 19,99 Euro monatlich.<a href="https://karrierewelt.golem.de/products/ldap-identitatsmanagement-fundamentals-virtueller-drei-tage-workshop"></a></p>



<p>Warum genau Netflix gerade jetzt ein Probe-Abo wieder einführt, ist nicht ganz klar. Vermutlich versucht der Anbieter aber, neue Abonnenten dazu zu gewinnen, nachdem die Zahlen zuletzt stagnierten. Zwar ist Netflix der größte Anbieter für Streaming, doch die Konkurrenz schläft nicht. Seit Januar 2026 gibt es beispielsweise auch <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1186579/hbo-max-in-deutschland-sehen-so-gehts.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HBO Max in Deutschland</a>, das mit großen Namen wie<em> Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, Harry Potter </em>oder <em>Superman </em>wirbt<em>.</em></p>

<p>Zwei große Änderungen hat es in den vergangenen Jahren bei Phishing-Angriffen gegeben: Die Kriminellen erstellen mithilfe von generativer KI sprachlich fast perfekte Mails, die in Stil, Struktur und Tonalität kaum noch von legitimen Nachrichten zu unterscheiden sind. Wo früher holpriges Deutsch sofort Misstrauen geweckt hat, liest sich heute eine Phishing-Mail wie eine echte Mitteilung von Microsoft, einer Bank oder einem Paketdienst.</p>



<p>Auch das Design wirkt meist höchst professionell. Zum anderen sind auch die technischen Tricks beim Datendiebstahl heute höher entwickelt. Einige Maschen umgehen sogar eine Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung. Das Ziel der Angreifer bleiben vor allem Zugangsdaten, Session-Tokens und persönliche Infos.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Microsoft-365-Log-in-Falle trickst Zwei-Faktor-Anmeldung aus</h2>



<p>Eine neue Angriffsmethode verwendet den originalen Microsoft-Anmeldedialog und kommt entsprechend fast ohne gefälschte Webseiten aus. Die Kriminellen nutzen dafür den Oauth-Device-Code-Flow. Das ist ein Anmeldeverfahren für Geräte oder Programme, die keinen brauchbaren Browser oder keine komfortable Texteingabe bieten, etwa Smart-TVs, IoT-Geräte, Drucker oder CLI-Tools. </p>



<p>Offiziell heißt er „OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant“. Mit der Methode lassen sich auch Konten übernehmen, die mit einer Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung geschützt sind.</p>



<p>Die Kriminellen schicken an ihre Opfer eine Phishing-Nachricht und geben vor, das Gerät der Opfer müsste für den Log-in ins Microsoft-365-Konto neu autorisiert werden. Die Nachrichten beginnen meist harmlos, etwa mit „Ihre Sitzung ist abgelaufen“, und bieten einen Link zur Neuanmeldung. Wenn das Opfer dem Link in der Nachricht folgt, landet es zunächst auf einer gefälschten Website, schließlich aber beim offiziellen Microsoft-Authentifizierungsverfahren für Geräte und Anwendungen (Oauth-Device-Code-Flow).</p>

Dafür kombinieren sie die echten Authentifizierungsseiten von Microsoft und Phishing-Webseiten.</p></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Proofpoint</p></div>



<p>Es handelt sich um echte Microsoft-Meldungen und Webseiten. Allerdings autorisiert das Opfer nicht den Zugang zu seinem eigenen PC oder Smartphone, sondern eine Anwendung der Kriminellen. Diese bekommen nach der Freigabe durch das getäuschte Opfer einen Access-Token. Damit kann die feindliche Anwendung per API auf das Microsoft-Konto zugreifen, ohne dass noch einmal ein Passwort eingegeben werden muss.</p>



<p>Übrigens: Die meisten dieser Angriffe verstecken den Link zur gefälschten Website in einem QR-Code. Dieser entgeht den Spam-Filtern eher als ein üblicher Link, und es lässt die meisten Opfer vom PC auf das Smartphone wechseln. </p>



<p>Auf diesem ist es wegen des kleineren Bildschirms und oft fehlender Sicherheits-Software noch wahrscheinlicher, dass das Opfer die Täuschung nicht bemerkt. <a href="https://tinyurl.com/2xhd6n6d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eine ausführliche Analyse der Angriffe auf Microsoft-365-Konten haben die Sicherheitsexperten von Proofpoint veröffentlicht</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Support-Masche: Ihr Computer ist gesperrt &amp; Co.</h2>



<p>Die Support-Masche ist zwar nicht neu, funktioniert aber nach wie vor: Noch immer fallen zahlreiche Menschen auf die perfide Betrugsstrategie herein. Zu den prominenten Opfern zählt Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner. </p>



<p>Mutmaßlich staatlich organisierte Angreifer kontaktierten sie über den Messenger-Dienst Signal und gaben sich als vermeintliche Signal-Support-Mitarbeiter aus. Unter einem Vorwand forderten sie Klöckner und weitere Politiker auf, ihre PIN einzugeben. Dadurch erlangten die Angreifer Zugriff auf die Signal-Konten der Betroffenen – und damit auf private Chats und Kontakte.</p>



<p>Das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz und das Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) haben gemeinsam einen <a href="https://tinyurl.com/yc89cfjd" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leitfaden veröffentlicht</a>, der potenziellen Opfern hilft zu prüfen, ob ihr Signal-Konto übernommen wurde.</p>

<p>Ebenfalls weiterhin verbreitet sind Angriffe durch angebliche Microsoft-Support-Mitarbeiter. Die Betrüger kontaktieren ihre Opfer per Telefon, E-Mail oder über gefälschte Pop-up-Warnungen im Browser. </p>



<p>Dabei behaupten sie, der Windows-PC habe ein Sicherheitsproblem – etwa sei der Computer gesperrt oder mit Schadsoftware infiziert. Anschließend versuchen sie, die Betroffenen zur Installation einer Fernwartungssoftware oder eines vermeintlichen Sicherheitstools zu bewegen. Tatsächlich erhalten die Angreifer dadurch oft vollständigen Zugriff auf den Rechner.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Gefälschter Microsoft Defender warnt</h2>



<p>Der Microsoft Defender ist ein Windows-Bordmittel und schützt PCs gegen alle bekannten PC-Viren. Entsprechend alarmierend ist für viele Nutzer eine Warnung dieses Antiviren-Tools. Eine gefälschte Form dieser Warnung erscheint mal per E-Mail, mal als Pop-up im Browser. In diesen Nachrichten wird behauptet, der Schutz des Defenders müsse kostenpflichtig erneuert werden. In der Folge werden die Nutzer auf gefälschte Shop-Webseiten geleitet, die eine Zahlung für einen Virenschutz verlangen.</p>



<p>Grundsätzlich gilt: Der Microsoft Defender ist auf Privat-PCs ein Bordmittel und kostenlos in Windows enthalten. Eine Zahlung ist nicht nötig. Sollte die Warnung per Mail bei Ihnen landen, löschen Sie diese einfach. Schlägt sie als Pop-up im Browser auf, schließen Sie einfach das Browser-Fenster, notfalls mit der Tastenkombination „Alt+F4”. </p>



<p><a href="https://tinyurl.com/yaz82hf3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Der Antivirenspezialist Norton hat eine Anleitung veröffentlicht</a>, die erklärt, wie sich solche Pop-up-Warnungen im Browser beseitigen lassen, falls sie sich im System festgesetzt haben.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. Microsoft-Onedrive: Cloud-Phishing über Freigaben</h2>



<p>Cloud-Dienste wie Onedrive von Microsoft nutzen viele Windows-Nutzer mehrmals täglich. Genau deshalb sind sie ein attraktives Ziel für Phishing. Statt klassischer E-Mails mit Dateianhängen erhalten die Nutzer Freigabe-Benachrichtigungen mit einem Betreff wie „Dokument wurde mit Ihnen geteilt“. Der Inhalt wirkt meist harmlos und oft beruflich relevant: Rechnungen, Projektpläne, Gehaltslisten oder interne Dokumente.</p>



<p>Besonders tückisch ist die Kombination aus echten und gefälschten Elementen. Manche Angriffe nutzen tatsächlich legitime Cloud-Plattformen, bieten dort aber manipulierte Dokumente an. Das Ziel dieser Angriffe sind mehrheitlich die Log-in-Daten der Opfer zu Ihren Cloud- und Mail-Konten. Diese werden dann von den Angreifern übernommen und etwa für neue Phishing-Attacken genutzt.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. Lieferdienste, Lieferdienste und noch mal Lieferdienste</h2>



<p>Phishing im Namen von Paketdiensten gehört zu den stabilsten Angriffsmustern überhaupt und wird gleichzeitig immer ausgefeilter. Der Grund ist die hohe Alltagstauglichkeit: Fast jeder erwartet regelmäßig Lieferungen und ist deshalb kaum misstrauisch, wenn eine Mail, SMS oder Whatsapp zum Thema Paketversand eintrudelt. Moderne Varianten enthalten nicht nur einfache Textlinks, sondern vollständige Tracking-Systeme.</p>

<p>Diese Seiten sind dynamisch aufgebaut und simulieren echte Logistikprozesse. Beim Sendungsverlauf heißt es dann etwa: „Zustellung fehlgeschlagen – bitte Adresse bestätigen“ oder „Letzte Möglichkeit zur Terminänderung“. Besonders kritisch ist die Kombination aus Zeitdruck und Kontext. Wer Opfer eines solchen Angriffs wird, gibt meist seine Log-in-Daten für Shopping- oder Zahlungsdienste preis. Oder er überweist den Angreifern direkt Geld, da angeblich Steuern, Bearbeitungsgebühren oder ein Expresszuschlag fällig sind.</p>

<p>Übrigens: Ab dem 1. Juli 2026 gibt es zusätzliche Abgaben auf Sendungen aus Nicht-EU-Ländern. Für Waren unter 150 Euro sind dann pauschal 3 Euro Zollgebühr und eine Einfuhrumsatzsteuer fällig. Einige Kurierdienste verlangen zusätzlich eine Servicepauschale für diese Zollanmeldung. Über die genauen Kosten informiert <a href="https://tinyurl.com/sztfupt4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">eine Seite der Verbraucherzentrale NRW</a>. Es lohnt sich, die tatsächlichen Kosten zu kennen, denn es ist wahrscheinlich, dass zu diesem Termin vermehrt Phishing-Mails zu diesem Thema versendet werden.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">6. Phishing zu Online-Banking gibt es immer</h2>



<p>Phishing zum Online-Banking gibt es fast schon so lange wie das Online-Banking selbst. Die Bedrohungslage ist aber so angespannt wie nie, denn die Angriffe sind nun wirklich zahlreich. <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y58m5smy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Über die neuesten Phishing-Fallen informieren unter anderem die Verbraucherzentralen</a>.</p>



<p>Beispiele aus dem Mai 2026 lauten etwa so: „Bestätigung Ihrer Mobilfunknummer erforderlich“. Absender ist vorgeblich die Easybank. Eine Fälschung von Commerzbank-Mails warnt vor einem fälligen „Photo-TAN Update“, bei dem ein „einmaliger Abgleich der Zugangsdaten“ nötig ist. </p>



<p>Andere Phishing-Mails geben vor, von der Deutschen Bank zu sein, und fordern eine Reaktivierung des „photoTAN-Sicherheitszertifikats“. Auch Kunden der DKB erhielten im Mai Phishing-Mails.</p>

Wer nicht reagiert, verliert angeblich „am nächsten Werktag“ den Zugriff auf sein Bankkonto.</p></figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Verbraucherzentrale</p></div>



<p>Sollten Sie eine Mail von Ihrer Bank bekommen, klicken Sie auf keinen Fall auf einen der Links in dieser Mail. Wenn Sie sich unsicher sind, ob Sie reagieren sollen, rufen Sie die Website Ihrer Bank über Ihren Browser auf. </p>



<p>Sollte es tatsächlich ein Anliegen der Bank geben, wird es Ihnen nach dem Einloggen in Ihr Online-Konto angezeigt. Oder Sie rufen Ihre Bank einfach per Telefon an und fragen, ob Informationen von Ihnen benötigt werden.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">7. Phishing per Post: Kreditbetrug per Postident-Verfahren</h2>



<p>Diese Phishing-Angriffe erreichen Sie per Post in Ihrem echten Briefkasten. Die Briefe geben vor, von Ihrer Bank zu stammen, und fordern Sie auf, Ihre Daten erneut per Postident zu bestätigen. Postident ist ein Verfahren der Post, mit dem Sie Ihre Identität gegenüber anderen, etwa einer neuen Bank oder einem Kreditinstitut, bestätigen können. Wer das beigefügte Schreiben nutzt, legitimiert in der Regel einen hohen Kredit bei einer anderen Bank.</p>



<p>Schäden von 15.000 bis 25.000 Euro sind hier keine Seltenheit. Vorangegangen ist meist ein Diebstahl Ihrer genauen Daten (Postadresse, Hausbank, Arbeitgeber, Verdienst), den die Angreifer dann nutzen. An die Daten kommen die Kriminellen etwa über gefälschte Wohnungsinserate bei Immoscout24 oder ähnlichen Portalen. Wer sich auf eine Wohnung oder ein Haus mit Gehaltszetteln und weiteren Angaben bewirbt, hat bereits alle wichtigen Daten für den Postident-Betrug verraten. Seien Sie beim Postident-Verfahren stets besonders vorsichtig. Konkrete Tipps lesen Sie <a href="https://tinyurl.com/bdbnmxhn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hier</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sicherheitstipps: Phishing erkennen und blockieren</h2>



<p><strong>An diesen Merkmalen erkennen Sie betrügerische Nachrichten:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Unverlangter Kontakt:</strong> Sie erhalten eine E-Mail, Whatsapp oder SMS über eine Gutschrift, eine Lastschrift oder andere finanzielle Ansprüche, obwohl Sie aktuell keine Buchung storniert oder reklamiert haben.</li>



<li><strong>Zeitdruck:</strong> Die Nachricht suggeriert dringenden Handlungsbedarf und fordert zur schnellen Reaktion auf.</li>



<li><strong>Verdächtige Links:</strong> Die Links in der Nachricht sind hinter einem QR-Code maskiert, führen zu unpassenden Domains oder sind ungewöhnlich lang.</li>



<li><strong>Aufforderung zur Dateneingabe:</strong> Seriöse Unternehmen fordern in Nachrichten oder Mails nur äußerst selten zur Eingabe sensibler Daten auf.</li>



<li><strong>Unpersönliche Anrede:</strong> Oft fehlt die namentliche Ansprache oder es werden generische Formulierungen verwendet.</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Diese Maßnahmen schützen vor Phishing-Fallen:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>E-Mail, SMS und Whatsapp &amp; Co. sind keine geschlossenen Nachrichtenkanäle:</strong> Sie müssen damit rechnen, auch betrügerische Nachrichten zu erhalten.</li>



<li><strong>Misstrauen Sie Links in Nachrichten:</strong> Klicken Sie keine Links an und scannen Sie keine QR-Codes, wenn Log-in-, Zahlungs- oder Sicherheitsaufforderungen in der Mail stehen. Öffnen Sie den jeweiligen Dienst im Browser über die manuelle Eingabe der Adresse.</li>



<li><strong>Nutzen Sie Browser und Passwortmanager als Frühwarnsystem: </strong>Wenn Ihr <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1204833/test-die-besten-passwort-manager.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Passwortmanager</a> Ihre Log-in-Daten auf einer Webseite nicht einfügen möchte, dann ist die Domain vermutlich gefälscht. Achten Sie zudem auf die Warnungen Ihres Browsers.</li>



<li><strong>MFA aktivieren: </strong>Nutzen Sie immer eine Zwei- oder Multifaktor-Authentifizierung, wenn diese angeboten wird. Vor allem <a href="http://www.pcwelt.de/2107907" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Passkeys</a> erhöhen die Sicherheit.</li>



<li><strong>Remote-Support misstrauen: </strong>Installieren Sie keine Fernwartungs-Tools, nachdem Sie unaufgefordert kontaktiert wurden.</li>



<li><strong>Freigaben hinterfragen: </strong>Wenn Sie Freigaben für Dateien in Cloud-Speichern erhalten, kontaktieren Sie zunächst den Absender, idealerweise telefonisch.</li>
</ul>



<p>Infos zu aktuellen Angriffen: Informieren Sie sich über Phishing-Kampagnen etwa bei der <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y58m5smy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Verbraucherzentrale NRW</a>.</p>



<p><strong>Als letzte Verteidigungslinie lassen sich Antivirenprogramme, Browserschutz und Spezial-Tools einsetzen:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Antivirus:</strong> Große Sicherheits-Suiten wie <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=14693&amp;awinaffid=486277&amp;clickref=rss&amp;platform=dl&amp;ued=http://www.gdata.de" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">G Data Internet Security</a> filtern Phishing-Mails heraus, bevor sie diese Nachrichten öffnen.</li>



<li><strong>Browser-Schutz: </strong>Browser von Sicherheitsanbietern blockieren viele aktuelle Phishing-Seiten, etwa der <a href="https://neobrowser.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">KI-Browser Norton Neo</a>.</li>



<li><strong>Spezial-Tools:</strong> KI-Chatbots wie <a href="https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinaffid=486277&amp;awinmid=11660&amp;clickref=rss&amp;ued=http://www.bitdefender.com/de-de/consumer/scamio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Scamio von Bitdefender</a> begutachten verdächtige Nachrichten und warnen vor gefährlichen Inhalten.</li>

<p>Wer im Sommer oder Urlaub oft von Mücken geradezu heimgesucht wird, wird sich besonders über dieses geniale Gadget freuen: Dieses winzige Gerät, das sich einfach per USB-C mit Ihrem Smartphone verbinden lässt, kann mit gezielter Wärme den Juckreiz von Stichen und Insektenbissen deutlich reduzieren.</p>



<p>Ähnlich wie größere Varianten, etwa diesen hier <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2420282/beurer-insektenstichheiler-br-90-im-test-rasche-hilfe-gegen-juckreiz.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">von Beurer</a>, muss man den kleinen <a href="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0D26GWWD1?th=1&amp;tag=pcwelt.de-21&amp;ascsubtag=rss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stichheiler von heat it</a> einfach nur per App aufladen und dann auf den Stich halten. Die Hitze erledigt dann den Rest und zersetzt die Proteine, die im Mückenstich dafür sorgen, dass die Stelle anschwillt, juckt und schmerzt. Ein echtes Must-have für den Sommer, und es kostet nicht mal 25 Euro.</p>

<p>Ziemlich genial sind auch diese kleinen Ventilatoren, die man im Sommer einfach in der Hosentasche mitnehmen und bei Bedarf schnell einsetzen kann. Wer schon einmal bei 30 Grad in einer vollen S-Bahn saß und sich zumindest ein wenig frische Luft gewünscht hat, der wird dieses Gadget lieben.</p>



<p>Der <a href="https://www.amazon.de/KIMMOO-Tragbarer-1-Turbo-Ventilator-USB-wiederaufladbarer-Mini-Handventilator/dp/B0DRNQKTH9?tag=pcwelt.de-21&amp;ascsubtag=rss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mini-Ventilator für unter 20 Euro</a> mit USB-C-Ladeanschluss kann ganz einfach über <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1167895/vergleich-die-besten-powerbanks-im-test-4500-bis-30000-mah.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Powerbanks</a>, Computer, Laptops oder USB-Ladegeräte betrieben werden.

<p>Wenn Ihr Laptop über einen USB-C-Anschluss verfügt, Sie Ihren Monitor aber schon seit Ewigkeiten nicht mehr geupgradet haben, verfügt Ihr Bildschirm vermutlich nicht über einen Typ-C-Anschluss. Dieser <a href="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07THJGZ9Z?tag=pcwelt.de-21&amp;ascsubtag=rss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Adapter von Anker</a> löst dieses Problem für Sie, sodass Sie das normale HDMI-Kabel, das Sie an Ihren Monitor anschließen, mit diesem Gerät verbinden können.</p>



<p>Der Adapter unterstützt Auflösungen von bis zu 4K bei 60 Hz, was ziemlich beeindruckend ist. Dies ist auch eine raffinierte Möglichkeit, Ihr Smartphone oder Tablet an Ihren Monitor oder Fernseher anzuschließen. Das Gerät kostet circa 13 Euro, aber wir haben es schon für nur 13 Euro bei Amazon gesehen.</p>

Er kann über USB-C aufgeladen werden und hält bis zu drei Stunden lang. Der Elektroschraubendreher kostet normalerweise 41 Euro, ist aber auch für 32 Euro im Angebot erhältlich.</p>

<p>Die meisten Laptops verfügen heutzutage nicht mehr über einen Kartenleser, daher muss man andere Wege finden, um Daten von diesen kleinen Dingern zu übertragen.

The activity has been linked primarily to LAUNDRY BEAR, a Russian state-supported advanced persistent threat (APT) group tracked under several names across the cybersecurity industry. The advisory said the campaign has been active since at least July 2025 and has targeted organizations using the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS).

Unlike conventional phishing attacks that typically require victims to click a malicious link or open an attachment, the campaign uses a view-based <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://cyble.com/exploit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="exploit" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29111">exploit</a>. A user only needs to view a malicious email in a vulnerable version of ZCS webmail for the exploit to attempt execution.
<h3><strong>Zimbra Phishing Campaign Uses CVE-2025-66376</strong></h3>
The campaign centers on CVE-2025-66376, a vulnerability that was initially exploited as a <a href="https://thecyberexpress.com/zero-day-vulnerability-microsoft-sharepoint/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">zero-day vulnerability </a>before a patch was released. According to the <a href="https://www.ic3.gov/CSA/2026/260723.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">advisory</a>, the activity began in July 2025, months before the vulnerability was published and patched.

The <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://thecyberexpress.com/firewall-daily/vulnerabilities/" title="vulnerability" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29110">vulnerability</a> allows a JavaScript payload contained in email content to execute because of improper sanitization of CSS @import directives within an email. The malicious payload uses Base64 encoding and XOR encryption and can be modified to help bypass basic threat detection signatures.

Once triggered, the payload attempts to collect and exfiltrate information through 12 stages. These include gathering the victim's email address and environment information, collecting two-factor authentication codes and application passwords, attempting to capture saved passwords, enabling mail protocols, gathering the Global Address List (GAL), and sending archived email <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://thecyberexpress.com/what-is-data/" title="data" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29112">data</a>.

The advisory said the campaign's use of a zero-day exploit demonstrates the ability of LAUNDRY BEAR to operationalize novel <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://thecyberexpress.com/what-are-vulnerabilities/" title="vulnerabilities" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29108">vulnerabilities</a> into a successful attack capability.
<h3><strong>LAUNDRY BEAR Targets Email and Sensitive Data</strong></h3>
The primary objective of the Russian state-supported <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://thecyberexpress.com/cyber-news/" title="cyber" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29109">cyber</a> actors appears to be the covert acquisition of email data. The campaign attempts to steal the last 90 days of email communications, email addresses, passwords, the organization's Global Address List, 2FA tokens and newly created application passcodes.

The actors have targeted organizations connected to the defense industrial base, government, education, energy, law enforcement, media, non-governmental organizations and technology sectors.

The advisory said LAUNDRY BEAR likely identifies organizations with publicly exposed Zimbra infrastructure through port scanning and commercially available datasets. It may then compile individual user email addresses using commercial data, open-source intelligence or previously exfiltrated information.

The group has also used compromised accounts to distribute <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://cyble.com/knowledge-hub/what-is-phishing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="phishing" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29114">phishing</a> emails. Since at least November 2025, malicious emails were reportedly sent from victim infrastructure, potentially using previously compromised accounts to make the activity harder to detect and to bypass anti-phishing measures.
<h3><strong>Ulej and Flowerbed Support Email Data Exfiltration</strong></h3>
The campaign uses a custom capability called Ulej, which was developed to exploit ZCS and exfiltrate sensitive information. The collected data is sent to infrastructure associated with the Flowerbed framework.

Flowerbed is a Python project using Docker and includes four containers: Catcher, Certbot, Nginx and Gardener. Catcher receives and aggregates stolen information, while Nginx operates as an HTTPS reverse proxy. The framework uses DNS and HTTPS channels for <a href="https://thecyberexpress.com/ai-driven-phishing-campaign/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">email data exfiltration</a>.

The advisory said the campaign can exfiltrate email content, contacts, attachments, authentication information and other data. The stolen information is initially stored by Catcher before being transferred to non-public-facing infrastructure.

The report also noted indications that artificial intelligence may have played a role in developing the Flowerbed codebase, highlighting the increasing use of AI in developing malicious capabilities.
<h3><strong>Organizations Urged to Patch Vulnerable Zimbra Systems</strong></h3>
The advisory urged organizations using ZCS to immediately ensure their systems are not running vulnerable versions. A patch for CVE-2025-66376 was released for ZCS versions 10.1.13 and 10.0.18.

If immediate patching is not possible, organizations are advised to have employees use alternative mail clients and avoid the Classic ZCS webmail client until the software is updated.

<a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://thecyberexpress.com/" title="Security" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29107">Security</a> teams are also advised to monitor internet-connected ZCS systems, workstations accessing those systems and network traffic for signs of suspicious activity. Recommended monitoring includes looking for large outbound data transfers to unfamiliar VPS providers, unusual DNS queries with random subdomains, sudden connections to newly established domains and connections involving <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://thecyberexpress.com/how-to-get-a-vpn/" title="VPN" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked" data-wpil-monitor-id="29113">VPN</a> providers such as Mullvad.

Organizations should also consider authentication services that support passkeys and maintain network monitoring, packet capture or NetFlow data and relevant logs.

The advisory further recommends that organizations identifying victims revoke Application Passcodes and 2FA scratch keys and require affected employees to change their passwords. Security teams should also investigate the original phishing email and quarantine similar messages to prevent further exploitation and data theft.]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Debatte über (generative) künstliche Intelligenz (KI) fokussiert sich meist auf die <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4160254/ki-liefert-endlich-produktivitatsgewinne-zumindest-im-homeoffice.html" target="_blank">Produktivität des Einzelnen</a> – und die Zahlen hierzu sind bemerkenswert. So zeigte ein großangelegtes <a href="https://www.hbs.edu/faculty/Pages/item.aspx?num=64700" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Feldexperiment der Harvard Business School</a> in Zusammenarbeit mit der Boston Consulting Group, dass der Einsatz generativer KI bei Wissensaufgaben sowohl die Ergebnisqualität als auch die Bearbeitungsgeschwindigkeit signifikant verbessert. Dabei ist der Nivellierungseffekt besonders beachtlich:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Während erfahrene Fachkräfte ihre Leistung um rund <strong>17 Prozent</strong> steigerten,</li>



<li>lagen die Verbesserungen bei den schwächeren Teilnehmern bei <strong>über 40 Prozent</strong>.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Diese individuellen Produktivitätsgewinne übertragen sich jedoch nicht automatisch in gleichem Maße auf die Organisationsebene. Unternehmen schaffen nicht bloß durch die isolierte Performance Einzelner Wert, sondern vor allem durch die Fähigkeit, Wissen zu bündeln, <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2805974/so-geht-schlechte-technologieentscheidung.html" target="_blank">komplexe Entscheidungen</a> zu treffen und gemeinsam Innovationen hervorzubringen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wenn jedes Teammitglied zunehmend mit seinem eigenen KI-Assistenten interagiert, kann dies die Kernmechanismen erfolgreicher Zusammenarbeit beeinträchtigen. Die entscheidende Herausforderung besteht somit darin, den Zuwachs an individueller Produktivität in eine echte <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4146333/warum-unternehmen-nicht-ins-tun-kommen.html" target="_blank">organisatorische Leistungssteigerung</a> zu übersetzen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3 Produktivitäts-Bruchstellen im KI-Zeitalter</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ob aus temporären Effizienzgewinnen nachhaltige Wettbewerbsvorteile entstehen, hängt deshalb maßgeblich davon ab, wie <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4091252/ki-kann-den-chef-nicht-ersetzen.html" target="_blank">Führungskräfte</a> die folgenden drei Bruchstellen gestalten, die aufeinander aufbauen. Diese repräsentieren jene organisatorischen Übergänge, an denen individuelle Produktivitätsgewinne durch KI in kollektive Leistungsnachteile umschlagen können – wenn sie nicht aktiv gestaltet werden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>1. Bruchstelle: Wissenssicherung</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Weg zur Seniorität folgte lange einer stabilen Logik: Operative Erfahrung führte zu Expertise, diese wiederum zu Einfluss. Wer über mehr Wissen verfügte, übernahm komplexere Aufgaben und wurde zur zentralen Orientierungsperson im Team. Generative KI bricht diese Logik auf, da weniger erfahrene Mitarbeitende mithilfe von <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4096888/ki-ist-mehr-als-nur-ein-neues-tool.html" target="_blank">KI-Tools</a> heute Analysen, Konzepte und Problemlösungen in hoher Qualität erstellen können. Ein Teil des traditionellen Wissensvorsprungs erfahrener Kräfte verliert dadurch seine Exklusivität.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Auf diese Weise gerät ein impliziter Erfolgsfaktor von Organisationen ins Wanken: der organische Wissenstransfer. Bislang floss Wissen primär über erfahrene Kräfte, was <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2827219/so-managen-sie-generationsunterschiede.html" target="_blank">Mentoring</a> und kollektives Lernen quasi „nebenbei“ sicherstellte. Fällt dieser Austausch weg, weil Aufgaben isoliert im Dialog mit der KI gelöst werden, besteht das Risiko eines doppelten Kompetenzverlusts:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Beschäftigte in Junior-Rollen</strong> können mithilfe von KI überzeugende Ergebnisse liefern, ohne den zugrundeliegenden Lösungsweg vollständig verstehen zu müssen. Der <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4066993/warum-junior-developer-unverzichtbar-bleiben.html" target="_blank">Lerneffekt</a> wird dadurch reduziert und die Fähigkeit zur eigenständigen Problemlösung sowie zur kritischen Validierung der KI-Ergebnisse eingeschränkt. Die Folge ist eine wachsende, unkritische Abhängigkeit von der Technologie.</li>



<li><strong>Erfahrene Fachkräfte</strong> laufen Gefahr, zur rein reaktiven Korrekturinstanz von KI-Ergebnissen zu werden. Ihre Erfahrung fließt dann nicht mehr aktiv in die Gestaltung ein, sondern beschränkt sich zunehmend auf die <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4158506/40-prozent-der-ki-produktivitatsgewinne-gehen-verloren.html" target="_blank">nachträgliche Qualitätskontrolle</a>. Mögliche Folgen sind <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2816175/so-motivieren-sie-softwareentwickler.html" target="_blank">Motivationsverlust</a>, mentaler Rückzug der Leistungsträger und der schleichende Verlust des in der Organisation vorhandenen Erfahrungswissens.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Um diesen doppelten Kompetenzverlust zu verhindern, müssen Führungskräfte den Rollenwandel der Seniorität aktiv gestalten. Künftig sollte sich diese nicht mehr primär über exklusives Fachwissen definieren, sondern über die Fähigkeit, die richtigen Fragen zu stellen, Zusammenhänge einzuordnen und Teams bei der kritischen Bewertung von KI-Ergebnissen anzuleiten. Diese Begleitung kann nicht erst im Rahmen der abschließenden Qualitätskontrolle erfolgen, sondern muss bereits <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4193038/der-data-scientist-ist-tot.html" target="_blank">während der Arbeit mit KI</a> ansetzen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ziel ist es, Wissen, Erfahrungswerte und Kontext kontinuierlich zu vermitteln, die Urteilskraft der Junioren gezielt zu entwickeln und sie schrittweise zu einer eigenständigen Validierung und reflektierten Nutzung von KI-Ergebnissen zu befähigen.Gelingt dieser Rollenwandel nicht, können Teams zwar kurzfristig ihre individuelle Produktivität steigern, verlieren jedoch zunehmend das gemeinsame Verständnis für fachliche Zusammenhänge und den organisatorischen Kontext. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die durch KI erzielten Produktivitätsgewinne können dann durch Fehlentscheidungen, <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4184063/ki-betreuung-stiehlt-mitarbeitern-mehr-als-6-stunden-pro-woche.html" target="_blank">steigenden Korrekturaufwand</a> und einen schleichenden Qualitätsverlust auf Teamebene wieder aufgezehrt werden. Ohne die systematische Sicherung von Erfahrungswissen zu agieren, heißt, teure Fehler zu produzieren – nur deutlich schneller.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>2. Bruchstelle: Qualitätssicherung</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Herausforderung endet jedoch nicht bei der Wissenssicherung. Sie betrifft im nächsten Schritt auch die Art und Weise, wie Teams die Qualität ihrer Entscheidungen absichern, wenn ein wachsender Teil der Analyse-, Bewertungs- und Wissensarbeit durch KI unterstützt wird. Je mehr Vorarbeit KI übernimmt, desto stärker hängt die Qualität organisatorischer Entscheidungen davon ab, die generierten Ergebnisse kritisch zu überprüfen und einzuordnen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eine Besonderheit generativer KI besteht darin, dass ihre Leistungsfähigkeit keiner intuitiven Logik folgt. Die eingangs zitierte Studie beschreibt dieses Phänomen als „Jagged Technological Frontier“: KI-Systeme können bei bestimmten Aufgaben eine Performance auf Expertenniveau erreichen, während sie bei scheinbar ähnlichen Fragestellungen überraschend große Schwächen aufweisen. Die Grenzen dieser Leistungsfähigkeit sind jedoch nicht für jeden Nutzer ohne weiteres erkennbar.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Genau daraus entstehen neue Herausforderungen für Führungskräfte: Mit der Integration von KI in den Arbeitsalltag steigt das Risiko des sogenannten “<a href="https://www.vdivde-it.de/sites/default/files/document/2026-Medizintechnik_Automation-Bias.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Automation Bias</a>” (PDF), also der Tendenz, algorithmischen Empfehlungen unkritisch zu vertrauen. Die Gefahr liegt dabei selten in offensichtlichen Fehlern, sondern in plausiblen (aber falschen) Antworten, die überzeugend formuliert sind und deshalb ungeprüft übernommen werden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zudem greift ein Beschleunigungseffekt: KI verkürzt den Weg von der Fragestellung bis zum Ergebnis erheblich und damit auch jene Diskussionen, mit denen Teams bislang die Qualität ihrer Entscheidungen abgesichert haben. Wo früher Analysen debattiert und Annahmen abgewogen wurden, liegt heute in Sekunden ein Resultat vor. Das eigentliche Risiko liegt dabei darin, dass Ergebnisse schneller entstehen als sie kritisch überprüft werden können. So ist es möglich, dass Produktivitätsgewinne mit einem Verlust an Ergebnisqualität einhergehen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Führungskräfte sollten daher Strukturen schaffen, die den Einsatz von KI transparent gestalten und Ergebnisse offen zur Diskussion stellen. KI-generierte Inhalte müssen denselben kritischen Maßstäben unterworfen werden wie die Arbeit eines erfahrenen Teammitglieds. Dazu benötigen Teams Validierungskompetenz, eine Verantwortungskultur und etablierte Prüfprozesse. Die entscheidende Frage sollte daher nicht sein, ob ein Ergebnis vom Menschen oder der Maschine stammt. Sondern, wer dieses auf fachliche Korrektheit überprüft und die Verantwortung für die darauf basierende Entscheidung übernimmt. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">KI steigert zwar die Geschwindigkeit – das wird jedoch erst dann zum echten Wettbewerbsvorteil, wenn es mit Urteilskraft und <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4194451/5-wege-zu-mehr-ki-accountability.html" target="_blank">gelebter Accountability</a> einhergeht.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>3. Bruchstelle: Innovationssicherung</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wie zuvor beschrieben, kann der Einsatz generativer KI gemeinsame Diskussionen verkürzen, was wiederum die <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3602602/wie-wird-man-innovativ.html" target="_blank">Innovationskraft</a> des Unternehmens belasten kann. KI liefert dabei nicht nur einen ersten Lösungsvorschlag, sondern erhöht zugleich die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass sich Teams früh auf eine gemeinsame Richtung festlegen. Echte Innovationen entstehen jedoch selten durch schnelle Einigkeit: Sie entstehen durch produktive Reibung, tiefgehende Debatten und dadurch, etablierte Denkmuster zu hinterfragen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ein wesentlicher psychologischer Mechanismus dieser frühen Konvergenz ist der sogenannte <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankereffekt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ankereffekt</a>: Da KI in Sekundenschnelle plausible Ergebnisse liefert, wirkt dieser erste Entwurf als kognitiver Anker. Das menschliche Gehirn orientiert sich somit unbewusst an diesem Startpunkt, was den Suchraum für alternative Lösungen vorzeitig verengt und so die Innovationsfähigkeit schwächen kann.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Führungskräfte stehen deshalb vor der zusätzlichen Aufgabe, produktiven Widerspruch bewusst zu organisieren. Kritische Rückfragen und konträre Sichtweisen sind das notwendige Gegengewicht zur KI-generierten Konvergenz. Und: Organisationen verlieren selten ihre Innovationskraft, weil ihnen Antworten fehlen. Vielmehr, weil sie aufhören, Alternativen ernsthaft zu diskutieren. Eine höhere Geschwindigkeit im Lösungsprozess führt daher nicht automatisch zu höherer Innovationsfähigkeit. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Entscheidend ist, dass Organisationen weiterhin Räume schaffen, in denen unterschiedliche Perspektiven aufeinandertreffen, bestehende Annahmen hinterfragt werden und neue Ideen entstehen können. Mit anderen Worten: KI erzeugt Konvergenz, Innovation braucht Divergenz.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KI schafft eine neue Realität</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Diese drei Bruchstellen verdeutlichen, dass generative KI nicht nur Arbeitsprozesse, sondern auch die Grundlagen organisationaler Leistungsfähigkeit grundlegend verändern kann. Wissen entsteht anders, Entscheidungen werden anders getroffen und Innovation entwickelt sich unter veränderten Voraussetzungen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Je stärker KI in den Arbeitsalltag integriert wird, desto entscheidender wird es, die genannten Bruchstellen bewusst zu gestalten. Der nachhaltige Nutzen von KI entsteht nicht allein durch den Einsatz der Technologie, sondern durch die Fähigkeit einer Organisation, ihre Strukturen, Lernprozesse und Entscheidungsmechanismen an diese neue Realität anzupassen.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Quantencomputer versprechen, einige der schwierigsten Rechenprobleme unserer Zeit zu lösen. Doch dabei ist es bereits eine Herausforderung, die Funktion eines Quantenrechners zu verstehen. Umso besser, dass <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yuvalboger">Yuval Boger</a>, CCO beim Quantum-Computing-Spezialisten QuEra, das für uns künftig einmal pro Monat übernimmt. Und zwar in etwas unkonventioneller, aber verständlicher und unterhaltsamer Form – mit Comics.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mit seinem Comicbuch „<a href="https://quantumbitscomics.com/">Quantum Bits</a>“ zeigt der Manager, dass sich selbst anspruchsvolle Physik mit Humor, alltäglichen Vergleichen und klarer Sprache verständlich vermitteln lässt. In Teil 1 dieser Serie widmet Boger sich der wohl <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dingers_Katze">berühmtesten Katze der Wissenschaft</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Die Katze, die Quantenmechanik erklärt</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">1935 entwickelte der österreichische Physiker <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erwin_Schr%C3%B6dinger">Erwin Schrödinger</a> ein Gedankenexperiment. Eine Katze sitzt in einer geschlossenen Box. Ebenfalls darin befinden sich ein radioaktives Atom, ein Detektor und ein Giftfläschchen. Zerfällt das Atom, löst der Detektor das Gift aus und die Katze stirbt. Zerfällt es nicht, bleibt sie am Leben.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Clou an der Sache: Der Zerfall eines einzelnen Atoms ist ein Quantenprozess. Solange niemand das Ergebnis misst, beschreibt die Quantenmechanik das Atom als <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2794214/wie-quantencomputer-funktionieren.html?utm=hybrid_search">Überlagerung</a> verschiedener Möglichkeiten. Daraus entstand die bis heute populäre Vorstellung, Schrödingers Katze sei gleichzeitig lebendig und tot.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Genau das wollte Schrödinger jedoch nicht sagen. Im Gegenteil. Sein Gedankenexperiment sollte zeigen, wie befremdlich die Gesetze der Quantenmechanik wirken, wenn man sie auf unsere Alltagswelt überträgt. Für einzelne Atome bestätigt die Physik diese Regeln seit Jahrzehnten experimentell. Eine Katze hingegen erleben wir immer in einem eindeutigen Zustand – entweder lebendig oder tot.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Die Quantenwelt im Alltag</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wo also endet die Quantenwelt und wo beginnt die Welt des Alltags? Diese Frage beschäftigt Physiker bis heute. Für das Verständnis von Quantencomputern ist sie jedoch ein idealer Ausgangspunkt. Denn, bevor wir über <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2794214/wie-quantencomputer-funktionieren.html?utm=hybrid_search">Qubits</a> sprechen können, müssen wir verstehen, warum die Natur im Kleinsten nach anderen Regeln spielt als im Großen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Comic übersetzt dieses Prinzip in eine Alltagssituation. Solange die Rückmeldung auf die Bewerbung aussteht, sind mehrere Ausgänge denkbar. Erst mit der Antwort wird klar, welche Realität gilt. Physikalisch ist das natürlich nur eine Analogie – aber sie macht anschaulich, worum es bei Schrödingers Katze geht: um den Unterschied zwischen möglichen Zuständen und einem gemessenen Ergebnis.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Im Vergleich zu <a title="Windows 10" href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2823259/windows-11-im-windows-10-look-nutzen.html" target="_blank">Windows 10</a> hat Microsoft bei <a title="Windows 11" href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2805175/laeuft-win-11-auf-ihrem-pc.html" target="_blank">Windows 11</a> einige Maßnahmen ergriffen, um die PC-Performance zu optimieren. Das heißt allerdings nicht, dass es nicht noch besser, beziehungsweise schneller geht. Zum Beispiel mit den folgenden, simplen Optimierungstipps. Sie zu befolgen kann übrigens auch gewährleisten, dass Ihre <a class="idgGlossaryLink" href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank">Windows</a>-11-Maschine nicht im Laufe der Zeit erlahmt.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">13 Tipps, um Windows 11 schneller zu machen</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Vorab noch ein Hinweis: Wir beziehen uns in diesem Artikel auf <a title="Windows 11 Version 22H2" href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2816557/die-erste-version-auf-die-firmen-wechseln-koennen.html" target="_blank">Windows 11 Version 22H2</a>. Wenn Sie eine frühere Version von <a class="idgGlossaryLink" href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank">Windows</a> 11 nutzen, stehen einige Features unter Umständen nicht zur Verfügung oder sehen anders aus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>1. Autostart deaktivieren</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Programme, die zwar im Hintergrund laufen, aber nur selten oder nie verwendet werden, können Ihren PC verlangsamen. Zu unterbinden, dass solche Applikationen zum Systemstart ausgeführt werden, kann Ihren Rechner entsprechend beschleunigen. Dazu rufen Sie zunächst den <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> Task Manager auf, indem Sie: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><p>entweder die <a title="Tastenkombination" href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2718711/windows-10-wichtige-tastenkombinationen-im-ueberblick.html" target="_blank">Tastenkombination</a> <strong>Strg + Alt + Entf</strong> eingeben, oder</p></li>



<li><p>den Task Manager über die Windows-Suchleiste starten.</p></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Im Task Manager klicken Sie rechts auf den Menüpunkt “<strong>Autostart von Apps</strong>“. Nun sehen Sie eine Liste der Programme und Dienste, die beim Start von <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> initiiert werden – inklusive der Info, wie sich die jeweilige App auf den Startprozess auswirkt (dieser Wert bezieht sich allerdings nur auf den Startvorgang, nicht den laufenden Windows-11-Betrieb). Um zu verhindern, dass eines der gelisteten Programme oder Dienste zusammen mit dem System gestartet wird, genügt ein Rechtsklick, die Auswahl von “<strong>Deaktivieren</strong>” sowie ein anschließender Neustart des Rechners.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>2. Effizienzmodus verwenden</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Über den Task Manager initiieren Sie einen weiteren Trick, um <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 schneller zu machen. Den mit Windows 11 22H2 eingeführten “<strong>Effizienzmodus</strong>“, der Ihren PC beschleunigen und zudem die Akkulaufzeit Ihres Laptops optimieren kann. Neben anderen Maßnahmen regelt der Effizienzmodus in <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 zum Beispiel die Priorität von Prozessen und Anwendungen, die im Hintergrund laufen. Dabei ist der Begriff allerdings etwas irreführend, denn Sie können nicht Ihren gesamten Rechner in den Effizienzmodus versetzen – sondern lediglich <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2860610/effizienzmodus-fuer-programme-aktivieren.html" title="einzelne Anwendungen und Prozesse" target="_blank">einzelne Anwendungen und Prozesse</a>. Der Haken dabei: Das funktioniert nur mit bestimmten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rufen Sie den Task Manager (siehe oben) auf und wählen sie im Menü links den Punkt “<strong>Prozesse</strong>“. Rechts sehen Sie nun eine Liste der Anwendungen und Prozesse, die aktuell laufen. Wenn Sie einen der Listeneinträge auswählen, haben Sie oben rechts im Task Manager die Möglichkeit, den <strong>Effizienzmodus</strong> zu aktivieren. Ist die Schaltfläche ausgegraut, steht die Funktion für die ausgewählte App nicht zur Verfügung. Darüber hinaus wissenswert: Unter <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 arbeiten einige Anwendungen standardmäßig im Effizienzmodus, ohne die Möglichkeit, diesen zu deaktivieren (etwa <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2823167/edge-browser-zwang-in-teams-und-outlook.html" title="Microsoft Edge" target="_blank">Microsoft Edge</a>).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>3. Automatisierte Wartung nutzen</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 führt im Hintergrund kontinuierlich Wartungsmaßnahmen an Ihrem PC durch, beispielsweise Sicherheits-Scans und Systemdiagnosen. Das soll sicherstellen, dass alles auf dem neuesten Stand ist, eventuelle Probleme automatisch behoben werden und das Device mit optimaler Leistung läuft. Sie sollten deshalb sicherstellen, dass die automatische Wartung durch Windows aktiviert ist. Bei Bedarf können Sie diese Funktion auch manuell starten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Rufen Sie dazu die <strong>Systemsteuerung</strong> auf und wählen Sie dort <strong>System und Sicherheit</strong> -&gt; <strong>Sicherheit und Wartung</strong>. Hier finden Sie den Abschnitt “<strong>Automatische Wartung</strong>“, inklusive der Option, diese direkt manuell zu starten.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>4. Adware und Bloatware beseitigen</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Möglicherweise liegt es gar nicht an <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11, dass Ihr PC langsam startet. Eventuell beansprucht auch <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2860628/installation-ohne-bloatware.html" title="Bloat" target="_blank">Bloat</a>– oder Adware die Systemressourcen über Gebühr. Software dieser Art wird oft vom Hersteller Ihres PCs vorinstalliert – und in der Regel standardmäßig auch beim Systemstart aktiviert.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Um das abzustellen, führen Sie zunächst einen System-Scan durch, um Adware und Malware aufzuspüren. Wenn Sie bereits eine Security-Suite installiert haben, können Sie diese dazu verwenden. Ansonsten empfiehlt sich für diese Aufgabe der in <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 integrierte <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2858833/mit-dem-microsoft-defender-nach-viren-suchen.html" title="Defender" target="_blank">Defender</a>. Um einen Scan zu starten, suchen Sie die App über das <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a>-Suchfeld. Anschließend können Sie mit einem zweiten Tool auf Nummer sicher gehen – dazu empfiehlt sich zum Beispiel das kostenlose Tool von <a href="https://de.malwarebytes.com/" title="Malwarebytes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Malwarebytes</a>. Anschließend geht es der Bloatware an den Kragen. Dazu empfehlen sich zwei Werkzeuge:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><p>Das kostenlose Anti-Bloatware-Tool “<strong><a title="Bulk Crap Uninstaller" href="https://www.bcuninstaller.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bulk Crap Uninstaller</a></strong>” und</p></li>



<li><p>die Webseite “<strong><a title="Should I Remove It?" href="https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Should I Remove It?</a></strong>“.</p></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Letztere bietet nicht nur wertvolle Tipps zu installierter Software auf Ihrem System, sondern bietet auch diverse nützliche Inhalte, die Sie dabei unterstützt, Bloatware von den Systemen verschiedener <a href="https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/oems-bloatware.aspx" title="spezifischer Hersteller" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spezifischer Hersteller</a> zu entfernen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>5. Suchindizierung abschalten</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a>-11-Suche führt im Hintergrund eine Indizierung der Festplattendaten durch, damit Sie Ihren PC schneller durchsuchen können. Die beschleunigten Suchvorgänge können allerdings zu einem langsameren Rechner führen, denn die Suchindizierung kostet Ressourcen. Dies gilt insbesondere für Systeme, die ohnehin etwas schwach auf der Brust sind. Bei ihnen kann es zu einem Geschwindigkeitsschub führen, die Suchindizierung abzuschalten. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Um das zu bewerkstelligen, geben Sie <strong>services.msc</strong> in das <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a>-Suchfeld ein und öffnen die <strong>Dienste-App</strong>. In der Auflistung scrollen Sie bis zum Eintrag “<strong>Windows Search</strong>” – und vollziehen einen Doppelklick. Im folgenden Fenster können Sie den Dienst stoppen und Ihren Rechner neu starten. Anschließend sind Ihre Suchvorgänge möglicherweise etwas langsamer, den Unterschied werden Sie allerdings kaum bemerken. Dafür sollten Sie den Geschwindigkeitszuwachs umso mehr spüren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Alternativ können Sie die Indizierung auch nur für Dateien an bestimmten Speicherorten deaktivieren, während Dateien und Ordner, in, beziehungsweise nach denen Sie häufig suchen, weiterhin indiziert werden. Dazu geben Sie im <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a>-Suchfeld “<strong>index</strong>” ein und öffnen anschließend die App “<strong>Indizierungsoptionen</strong>“. Klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche “<strong>Ändern</strong>“, und Sie sehen eine Liste der Speicherorte, die indiziert werden. Damit ein spezifischer Speicherport nicht mehr indiziert wird, deaktivieren Sie einfach das entsprechende Kontrollkästchen daneben.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>6. Festplatte entrümpeln</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Eine überfüllte Festplatte mit Dateien, die nicht mehr benötigt werden, kann Ihren PC ausbremsen. Sich ein paar Minuten Zeit zu nehmen, um Ihre Festplatte aufzuräumen, kann in einen sofortigen Geschwindigkeitsschub resultieren. Dazu brauchen Sie nicht mehr als das <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a>-11-Bord-Tool “<strong>Speicheroptimierung</strong>“.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dieses finden Sie über das Einstellungsmenü, unter dem Punkt <strong>System</strong> -&gt; <strong>Speicher</strong>. Wenn Sie den Schieberegler bei Speicheroptimierung nach rechts schieben, überwacht <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 Ihren PC kontinuierlich und löscht automatisiert temporäre oder alte Dateien. Dabei können Sie die Funktionsweise des Tools an Ihre Bedürfnisse anpassen. Sie können die Speicheroptimierung auch anweisen, Dateien in Ihrem Download-Ordner oder Ihrem Papierkorb nach einer bestimmten Frist zu löschen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>7. Schatten, Animationen und visuelle Effekte deaktivieren</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Auf schnellen, neueren PCs beeinträchtigen die visuellen Effekte von <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 die PC-Leistung für gewöhnlich nicht. Auf älteren, langsameren Rechnern kann das anders aussehen. Sollte Ihr PC in letztgenannte Kategorie fallen, fahren Sie in der Regel besser, wenn Sie die visuellen Schmankerl von Windows 11 deaktivieren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dazu geben Sie <strong>sysdm.cpl</strong> in das <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a>-Suchfeld ein und starten das gleichnamige Systemsteuerungselement. Im folgenden Dialogfeld “<strong>Systemeigenschaften</strong>” navigieren Sie zur Registerkarte “<strong>Erweitert</strong>“. Anschließend klicken Sie auf die Schaltfläche “<strong>Eigenschaften</strong>” im Bereich “<strong>Leistung</strong>“. Sie sehen nun das Dialogfeld “Leistungsoptionen” mit einer langen Liste von Animationen und Spezialeffekten. Hier können Sie nach Belieben experimentieren. Wenn Sie einfach nur zielstrebig die größten Performance-Fresser entfernen möchten – das sind in der Regel die Optionen:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><p>Animation beim Minimieren und Maximieren von Fenstern;</p></li>



<li><p>Animationen auf der Taskleiste;</p></li>



<li><p>Fensterschatten anzeigen;</p></li>



<li><p>Menüelemente nach Aufruf ausblenden;</p></li>



<li><p>Menüs in Ansicht ein- oder ausblenden;</p></li>



<li><p>Quickinfo in Ansicht ein- oder ausblenden;</p></li>



<li><p>Steuerelemente und Elemente innerhalb von Fenstern animieren.</p></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die einfachste Lösung: Wählen Sie oben im Dialogfeld die Option “<strong>Optimale Einstellung automatisch auswählen</strong>“. In diesem Fall deaktiviert <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 automatisch die Effekte, die Ihr System verlangsamen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>8. Transparenz deaktivieren</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ein weiterer Hebel, um <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 schneller zu machen: Deaktivieren Sie auch die Transparenzeffekte in der Taskleiste und an anderen Stellen. Diese kosten erstaunlich viel Systemleistung. Klicken Sie sich dazu im Einstellungsmenü über “<strong>Personalisierung</strong>” bis zu “<strong>Farben</strong>” durch und schieben Sie den Schieberegler für die Transparenzeffekte auf Aus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>9. Energieeinstellungen anpassen</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mit Hilfe der Energieeinstellungen Ihres <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a>-11-PCs können Sie Energieeffizienz und Leistung in Einklang bringen. Ist auf Ihrem System ein Energiesparplan aktiviert, führt das also in jedem Fall zu Leistungseinbußen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Um das zu verhindern, rufen Sie die Systemsteuerung auf und wählen dann “<strong>Hardware und Sound</strong>“, gefolgt von “<strong>Energieoptionen</strong>“. Wählen Sie nun die gewünschte Einstellung. Für Desktop-Benutzer gibt es keinen Grund, die Option “Energiesparen” zu wählen – und selbst Laptop-Benutzer sollten die Option “Ausgewogen” in Betracht ziehen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>10. Windows-Tipps und -Tricks abschalten</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 analysiert ständig, was Sie auf Ihrem PC tun, und gibt Ihnen an diversen Stellen Tipps, “um noch mehr zu machen”. Hilfreich sind die allerdings selten – und ein schlechtes Gefühl gibt’s inklusive, wenn Windows ständig über die Schulter schaut. Viel wichtiger ist aber, dass diese Art des Monitorings auch Ihr System verlangsamen kann.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Um <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 dazu zu bringen, die Ratschläge für sich zu behalten, öffnen Sie das Einstellungsmenü und wählen anschließend “<strong>System</strong>” und dann “<strong>Benachrichtigungen</strong>“. Hier scrollen Sie ganz nach unten, um unter dem Punkt “<strong>Zusätzliche Einstellungen</strong>” das Kontrollkästchen “<strong>Tipps und Vorschläge erhalten, wenn Windows verwendet wird</strong>“.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>11. Spielmodus deaktivieren</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der in <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a> 11 integrierte Spielmodus ist sinnvoll, wenn Sie Games zocken. Sobald das System eines erkennt, verwendet es die Systemressourcen vorrangig dafür – zulasten aller anderen Anwendungen und Hintergrundprozesse. Wenn Sie allerdings gerade nicht, beziehungsweise nie spielen, kann der Spielmodus Ihr System verlangsamen, denn er hält einige Systemressourcen in Reserve – und führt gelegentlich auch zu Stabilitätsproblemen. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Da der Spielmodus standardmäßig aktiviert ist, müssen Sie ihn abschalten. Dazu rufen Sie im Einstellungsmenü “<strong>Spiele</strong>” und anschließend “<strong>Spielemodus</strong>” auf und betätigen den Schieberegler entsprechend.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>12. Treiber aktualisieren</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Veraltete Treiber können Ihren <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/operating-systems/" target="_blank" class="idgGlossaryLink">Windows</a>-11-PC signifikant erlahmen lassen. Um zu verhindern, dass es soweit kommt, gehen Sie wie folgt vor: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><p>Rufen Sie die Windows-Einstellungen auf (<strong>Windows-Taste + I</strong>).</p></li>



<li><p>Wählen Sie zunächst “<strong>Windows Update</strong>” im Menü links, anschließend im Hauptfenster zuerst “<strong>Erweiterte Optionen</strong>“, dann “<strong>Optionale Updates</strong>“.</p></li>



<li><p>In der <strong>Treiberupdate</strong>-Auflistung dürfen Sie nun diejenigen auswählen, die Sie herunterladen und installieren möchten.</p></li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>13. Windows neu starten</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Last, but not least eine echte Geheimwaffe aus den <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2616501/die-duemmsten-it-support-anfragen.html" title="IT-Abteilungen dieser Welt" target="_blank">IT-Abteilungen dieser Welt</a>: Wenn Ihr Rechner lahmt, <strong>starten Sie ihn neu</strong>. Das sorgt dafür, dass der Arbeitsspeicher wieder ins Reine kommt und nicht mehr benötigte Prozesse beendet werden.</p>

					Foto: Tero Vesalainen – shutterstock.com</p></div>




<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Auf welche fünf Besonderheiten bei der Bewerbung sowie später im Vorstellungsgespräch zu achten ist, wird im folgenden Beitrag erläutert.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">5 Bewerbungstipps: So heben Sie sich ab</h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>1. Individuelles Profil erarbeiten</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Für jede Bewerbung sind zwei Fragen wichtig. Einerseits: Welche Eigenschaften, Erfahrungen und Erfolge kann der Kandidat vorweisen, die er bereits in früheren beruflichen Stationen erworben hat? Andererseits: In welche Branchen und Jobs kann er diese Vorteile einbringen, wo ist er unter den gegebenen Bedingungen eine wertvolle Arbeitskraft?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Diese individuelle Positionierung ist die Grundlage jeder erfolgreichen Bewerbung. Tatsächlich starten die meisten Bewerber ihre Jobsuche mit ihrem Lebenslauf und machen somit den zweiten Schritt vor dem ersten. Das macht sich allerdings auch in den Unterlagen bemerkbar – so geht nämlich keine Positionierung daraus hervor.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>2. Inhalte müssen genau auf die Stelle passen</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mit der Positionierung ist es zudem möglich, das<a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2724914/bewerbungsstrategien-fuer-jung-und-alt.html" title=" Anschreiben" target="_blank"> Anschreiben</a> und den <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2805221/5-tipps-fuer-die-passende-vita.html" title="Lebenslauf" target="_blank">Lebenslauf</a> anhand der eben gewonnenen Ergebnisse anzupassen. Das ist wichtig, um jede Bewerbung individueller zu gestalten, den Inhalt aber zugleich so auszulegen, dass er sich je nach freier Stelle an den geforderten Kriterien orientiert.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Auf Inhalte, die nicht in den Kontext passen, sollte komplett verzichtet werden. Dieses Vorgehen mag zusätzlichen Aufwand bedeuten, führt aber oft zum Erfolg. Neben früheren Tätigkeiten sollten vor allem Erfolge benannt werden. Schließlich kaufen sich Unternehmen erfolgreiche Mitarbeiter ein und nicht nur ihre berufliche Erfahrung. Daher ist eine Leistungsbilanz, auf die in Regel häufig verzichtet wird, nur zu empfehlen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>3. Nicht nur freie Stellen anvisieren</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zudem ist es sinnvoll, den eigenen Fokus ein wenig zu erweitern und sich nicht allein auf offene Stellen zu beschränken. Vielmehr kann auch die <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2743232/nie-mehr-am-arbeitsmarkt-vorbei.html" title="Initiativbewerbung" target="_blank">Initiativbewerbung</a> zu einer Anstellung führen. Je verantwortungsvoller die angestrebte Position dabei ist, desto mehr empfiehlt es sich, mit der Bewerbung nicht den Personalchef, sondern direkt die Unternehmensführung zu adressieren.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>4. Auf Stärken und Erfolge im Vorstellungsgespräch eingehen …</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nicht alleine in der schriftlichen Bewerbung muss der Kandidat erkennen lassen, warum er für das Unternehmen so wichtig ist. Auch im <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/2655533/ueberzeugen-im-vorstellungsgespraech.html" title="Vorstellungsgespräch" target="_blank">Vorstellungsgespräch</a> sollte er sich von anderen Bewerbern unterscheiden. Was also hat er in früheren Berufen erlebt, welche Erfolge hat er gemeistert? Welche Qualifikationen bringt er mit, um die freie Stelle optimal zu besetzen und was möchte er in Zukunft noch erreichen?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>5. … und Antworten parat haben nach schwierigen Aufgaben</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Im Bewerbungsgespräch ist es üblich, dass sich Fragen und Antworten an der Critical-Incident-Methode orientieren. Das heißt, dass der Personalchef wissen möchte, in welchen schwierigen Situationen sich der Bewerber in früheren Jobs befunden und wie er diese gemeistert hat. Es lohnt sich daher, sich auf dieses Schema vorzubereiten – zumal sich auch damit eine Unterscheidung gegenüber anderen Bewerbern erreichen lässt. (hk)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://microsoft.ai/">Microsoft AI</a> released two new in-house models into public preview on Wednesday — <a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/introducing-mai-image-2-5-pro-and-mai-voice-2-flash/">MAI-Image-2.5-Pro</a>, its highest-fidelity image generator to date, and <a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/introducing-mai-image-2-5-pro-and-mai-voice-2-flash/">MAI-Voice-2-Flash</a>, a speech model built for high-volume enterprise workloads — while publishing production data that amounts to the company's most aggressive argument yet that it can power its own products without leaning on OpenAI's frontier models.</p><p>The announcement, made by <a href="https://microsoft.ai/">Microsoft AI's Superintelligence team</a>, lands roughly a year after the company committed to building purpose-built models internally, and it arrives with an unusual level of specificity about where those models now run: <a href="https://www.bing.com/">Bing</a>, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/powerpoint">PowerPoint</a>, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onedrive/online-cloud-storage">OneDrive</a>, <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-365">Dynamics 365</a>, <a href="https://excel.cloud.microsoft/en-us/">Excel</a>, <a href="https://github.com/features/copilot">GitHub Copilot</a>, and <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us">Azure</a>. The message to enterprise buyers — and, implicitly, to OpenAI — is that Microsoft's homegrown models are no longer research projects. They are production infrastructure serving millions of users.</p><p>"Each of these enhancements is a step toward the same goal: Microsoft products, powered by Microsoft models," the company wrote in its announcement blog.</p><h2><b>How MAI-Image-2.5-Pro and MAI-Voice-2-Flash stake out opposite ends of the AI cost curve</b></h2><p>The two new releases occupy opposite ends of what Microsoft calls the quality-speed-cost curve, and the positioning is deliberate. <a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/introducing-mai-image-2-5-pro-and-mai-voice-2-flash/">MAI-Image-2.5-Pro</a> targets the premium tier: hero imagery, detailed editing, and precise in-image text rendering — the last of which has long been a notorious weak spot for image generation models. Microsoft priced the model at $5 per million text input tokens, $8 per million image input tokens, and $106 per million image output tokens. The base <a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/introducing-mai-image-2-5-pro-and-mai-voice-2-flash/">MAI-Image-2.5</a> model recently launched at <a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/introducing-mai-image-2-5/">No. 2 for image editing on Arena</a>, the community leaderboard that has become a de facto scoreboard for generative media.</p><p>The creative industry appears to be taking notice. Rob Reilly, global chief creative officer at advertising giant WPP, called the Pro model "a strong leap forward for GenMedia tools" in a statement included in Microsoft's announcement, adding that "Microsoft has firmly established itself among the leaders in generative AI."</p><p><a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/introducing-mai-image-2-5-pro-and-mai-voice-2-flash/">MAI-Voice-2-Flash</a> goes the other direction. First previewed at Microsoft's <a href="https://news.microsoft.com/build-2026/">Build conference</a>, Flash runs twice as fast as MAI-Voice-2 and costs 32% less, priced at $15 per million characters. It is designed for the unglamorous but enormous market of high-volume voice — call centers, voice agents, and real-time speech applications where latency and cost-per-call matter more than marginal gains in expressiveness. Together, the two models reflect a strategy of building families of models rather than a single flagship, because, as the company put it, a creative studio chasing maximum fidelity has very different needs from a customer service operation handling millions of calls a day.</p><h2><b>Microsoft's production metrics show in-house models cutting GPU costs by up to 89%</b></h2><p>The model launches are arguably less newsworthy than the deployment metrics Microsoft attached to them — numbers that read like a systematic case for swapping out third-party frontier models across its product portfolio. </p><p><a href="https://explore.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/features/bing-image-creator?form=MA13FV">Bing Image Creator </a>now runs entirely on <a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/introducing-mai-image-2-5-pro-and-mai-voice-2-flash/">MAI-Image-2.5</a>, end to end, marking the first time the consumer image tool is fully in-house. In PowerPoint, Microsoft says MAI-Image-2.5 reduces GPU costs by up to 84% compared with GPT-Image-2, OpenAI's image model. In OneDrive, where MAI-Image-2.5 is now the default for key image-editing scenarios, the company reports a 26% increase in save rates, roughly 25% lower P95 latency, and 2.5 times greater efficiency under medium-utilization production workloads.</p><p>On the voice side, <a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/introducing-mai-image-2-5-pro-and-mai-voice-2-flash/">MAI-Voice-2-Flash</a> now powers Dynamics 365 Contact Center — the platform used by customers including T-Mobile and EasyJet — where Microsoft claims GPU cost reductions of up to 89%. The model is also integrated into Azure Voice Live for developers building speech-to-speech agents.</p><p>Perhaps the most consequential deployment sits in healthcare. Microsoft's <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/health-solutions/clinical-workflow/dragon-copilot">Dragon Copilot</a>, used by 170,000 medical providers and responsible for processing 28 million patient encounters last quarter, now runs on MAI-Transcribe-1.5 for its multilingual workflow across 58 languages. Microsoft says internal evaluations show a 50% relative reduction in both transcription and language-identification error rates across most languages — a meaningful claim in a domain where transcription errors can propagate directly into clinical notes.</p><h2><b>Inside the 'hill-climbing' strategy that lets small models beat GPT-5.6 in Excel</b></h2><p>In a companion post published the same day, Microsoft detailed the methodology behind these results — what it calls its "<a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/hill-climbing-mai-models-for-github-copilot-and-excel/">hill-climbing machine</a>," an integrated flywheel of data, models, and the product "harness" that surrounds them.</p><p>The clearest example is <a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/introducingmai-code-1-flash/">MAI-Code-1-Flash</a>, the lightweight coding model launched in GitHub Copilot in June. Microsoft says the model achieves an approximately 10% higher code accept rate than GPT-5.4 Mini and Claude Haiku 4.5 in VS Code, while using 10% fewer median tokens. Developer retention tells a similar story: users were 6% more likely to return across multiple days than with GPT-5.4 Mini, and 11% more likely than with Claude Haiku 4.5.</p><p>Then Microsoft did something more interesting. It took the MAI-Code-1-Flash checkpoint and further <a href="https://microsoft.ai/news/hill-climbing-mai-models-for-github-copilot-and-excel/">trained it inside an Excel reinforcement learning environment</a>, teaching a coding model the tools and workflows of spreadsheet knowledge work. The result, according to production user feedback, is a model on par with GPT-5.6 for the most common Excel tasks — while being small enough to run on Nvidia's older H100 and even A100 GPUs rather than requiring the latest-generation accelerators.</p><p>That hardware detail deserves emphasis. Every major AI company is fighting for allocation of cutting-edge chips, and a model that delivers frontier-adjacent quality on two-generation-old silicon fundamentally changes the deployment economics. It also frees the newest hardware — including Microsoft's now-operational GB200 cluster — for training rather than serving.</p><h2><b>Satya Nadella's 'frontier diffusion' manifesto redraws the OpenAI relationship</b></h2><p>Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella framed the announcements in a lengthy post on X titled "<a href="https://x.com/satyanadella/status/2080329851127669104">Frontier Diffusion &amp; Control</a>," which functions as something close to a strategic manifesto. "We can now take saturated frontier capabilities and deliver them at scale and at lower cost through models optimized for high-usage products, while continuing to use frontier models for frontier needs," Nadella wrote, adding that Microsoft is "beginning to route traffic across our first-party surfaces to MAI whenever our models match or outperform frontier alternatives."</p><p>Translated from executive prose: capabilities that were state-of-the-art a year ago are now table stakes, and Microsoft believes it can replicate them cheaply for the specific, repetitive tasks that dominate real product usage. Why pay frontier prices for a frontier model when a user just wants to reformat a spreadsheet column?</p><p>Nadella was careful to note that "frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic are part of the orchestration system alongside MAI" — but he also articulated a pointed principle of model independence, arguing that a company's evaluations "should continue to hill climb even when any given model has been removed." </p><p>“Keeping the harness, memory, context, and skills outside the model, he argued, is what gives Microsoft control. The subtext is hard to miss. Reuters reported in April that Microsoft’s <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/microsoft-end-exclusive-license-openais-technology-2026-04-27/">exclusive license to OpenAI’s technology</a> had been revised into a non-exclusive arrangement, and The Information reported last September that Microsoft had <a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/microsoft-buy-ai-anthropic-shift-openai">begun incorporating Anthropic models</a> into some products. Wednesday’s announcement completes the triangle: Microsoft as orchestrator, with its partners’ frontier models as interchangeable components and its own models absorbing an ever-larger share of routine traffic.”</p><h2><b>Developers cheer cheaper task-specific models while skeptics question Microsoft's track record</b></h2><p>The response online captured both the appeal and the skepticism surrounding the strategy. "I love when people use small models for niche tasks," wrote one X user, <a href="https://x.com/mavihsk/status/2080330529547993252">@mavihsk</a>, responding to Nadella's post. "Why do I have to use the all-knowing model just to change my field in Excel?" Another user, <a href="https://x.com/nabu_lines/status/2080343512780837226">@nabu_lines</a>, distilled the pitch neatly: "cost and performance both improve when you stop overusing the biggest model."</p><p>Others were less charitable about Microsoft's execution track record. "Microsoft is the worst when it comes to listening to user feedback," wrote designer <a href="https://x.com/designedbyabin/status/2080332368301412434">@designedbyabin</a>, arguing the company "will lose the AI race because they repeatedly failed to understand user needs." And one user, <a href="https://x.com/tokenoverflow/status/2080386145712824694">@tokenoverflow</a>, offered a drier critique of the model-independence pitch: "i want it keep hill climbing after removing microsoft."</p><p>The skeptics raise a fair point. Microsoft's self-reported metrics — accept rates, save rates, GPU savings — come from its own internal evaluations, not independent benchmarks, and the company chooses which comparisons to publish.</p><p>But the strategy's logic does not depend on any single number. Nadella's framing that software now has "<a href="https://x.com/satyanadella/status/2080329851127669104">real marginal cost for the first time</a>" explains why Microsoft is obsessive about tokens, GPUs, and serving costs: when AI features run on every keystroke across a billion-user product portfolio, an 84% GPU cost reduction is not an optimization. It is the difference between a viable business and a money pit.</p><h2><b>Why Microsoft is turning its internal AI playbook into an Azure product</b></h2><p>The final piece of the strategy is that Microsoft is selling the playbook, not just the models. Nadella explicitly positioned the hill-climbing approach as "a template for every other AI native, SaaS, or Enterprise company," and Microsoft is packaging the toolchain through Foundry and what it calls Frontier Tuning — letting enterprises train specialized models against their own proprietary evaluations and reinforcement learning environments. That turns Microsoft's internal cost-cutting exercise into an Azure product, and it gives enterprise customers a reason to run their AI workloads on Microsoft's cloud even if the models themselves come from elsewhere.</p><p>The company's emphasis on models trained "on clean, traceable, enterprise-grade data, without distillation from third-party models" serves the same commercial end. In an industry facing mounting scrutiny over training data provenance, Microsoft is betting that enterprise buyers — and courts — will care where model capabilities come from. Microsoft says it is now extending the hill-climbing approach to <a href="https://copilot.microsoft.com/">Copilot Chat</a>, <a href="https://outlook.live.com/mail/">Outlook</a>, and <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/powerpoint">PowerPoint</a>, and both new models are available in public preview through <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/ai-foundry">Microsoft Foundry</a> and the <a href="https://playground.microsoft.ai/">MAI Playground</a>. "None of this is an endpoint," the company wrote. "We're just getting started."</p><p>Seven years ago, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/10/rise-of-openai-microsofts-13-billion-artificial-intelligence-bet.html">Microsoft bet more than $13 billion</a> that OpenAI would build the future of AI. Wednesday's announcement suggests the company has since learned a cheaper lesson: the future of AI may belong to whoever builds the frontier, but the profits belong to whoever makes it ordinary.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A new attack method found by Zenity Labs reveals that AI agents are becoming persistent insiders that attackers can recruit, rather than malware they have to install.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Its researchers have discovered <a href="https://labs.zenity.io/p/agentforger-part-1-chatgpt-cross-site-agent-forgery" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AgentForger</a>, a phishing-based attack that silently creates and launches a fully autonomous AI agent within OpenAI workspaces.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once running, the agent has full access to apps like Outlook, Slack, SharePoint, and Google Drive. It is configured to operate indefinitely without further user interaction, can approve its own access by toggling “never ask” settings, and can continue to act on new assignments sent via email by the attackers that control it. Broad, unfettered access to systems allows it to perform reconnaissance, harvest sensitive data and credentials, impersonate victims, and launch phishing campaigns.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While OpenAI resolved the vulnerability four days after disclosure, on a larger scale, AgentForger sheds light on what can happen when <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4200043/openai-model-escape-puts-enterprise-ai-defenses-on-notice.html" target="_blank">AI agents go rogue</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We’re moving into a world where software doesn’t just help people work. It works alongside them,” said <a href="https://zenity.io/authors/michael-bargury" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Bargury</a>, co-founder and CTO of agentic AI security platform Zenity. “As AI agents become more capable, attackers will naturally look for ways to influence them, just as they’ve always looked for ways to influence people.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A ‘persistent operator’ that acts without approval</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI’s Workspace Agents can connect and work autonomously across Outlook, Gmail, Slack, Google Drive, SharePoint, and Teams. Users open the agent builder, describe what the agent can do in natural language, connect to tools, set approvals, review and test, schedule actions, then publish. For instance, an agent can autonomously handle incoming emails, review and take actions with approval, gather information from various sources to send out daily briefings, or automatically respond to questions in ChatGPT or Slack channels.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Normally, this is “useful automation,” Zenity AI red team researcher <a href="https://labs.zenity.io/authors/mike-takahashi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mike Takahashi</a> wrote in a <a href="https://labs.zenity.io/p/agentforger-part-1-chatgpt-cross-site-agent-forgery" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">blog post</a>. But in this attack, “the same scheduler becomes the persistence mechanism.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The creation workflow kicks off the moment a user clicks on a phishing link containing instructions from the threat actor. For the attack to work, a victim must be logged into ChatGPT and Workspace Agents, and have at least one integration with another app, such as Outlook, Gmail, Slack, Google Drive, SharePoint, or Teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because those connections already exist, OAuth consent screens are not triggered. Furthermore, the victim does not need to click on another link, keep a Builder tab open, or even visit ChatGPT again.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The forged agent is a “persistent operator;” it is installed on the original click and given a schedule, and at those predetermined times, the agent invokes itself, scans for emails from attacker addresses with the subject line “task”, carries those orders out, then returns results to the same attacker-controlled email address.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It goes undetected because the attacker prompt instructs the Builder to toggle Outlook to never ask for approval of its actions. Typically, the default is “always ask,” to keep agents from taking unauthorized action; that switch gives agents the ability to act without asking for human approval.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“AgentForger showed that an attacker could deploy an autonomous insider agent inside your ChatGPT workspace with a single click,” said Bargury. From there, it can continue to access information, harvest credentials from various sources, impersonate employees, and carry out phishing attacks and fraud while “leveraging the trusted victim’s identity.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A ‘planted accomplice’ that does all the work</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once activated, AgentForger can perform reconnaissance to create an internal map of a company. For instance, agents can scan Outlook, Slack, Teams, Google Drive, SharePoint, or calendar data to identify people, roles, active projects, internal discussions, or all-hands recurring meetings. This can help attackers identify where in the enterprise to target next, based on active teams and channels, projects in the works, or prominent users.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This is the kind of internal context an attacker normally has to build slowly,” Takahashi noted. But in this scenario, action is based on a single emailed assignment. The attacker’s “planted accomplice” does all the work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In another scenario, the agent can steal data by searching for and identifying financial documents, business agreements, or invoices. Or, it can steal credentials by scanning for messages containing passwords, one-time codes, access tokens, password recovery links, or API keys. Further, it can impersonate victims to carry out phishing scams, for instance, by sending legitimate-looking Teams messages instructing users to confirm their credentials on a fake Microsoft login page.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In all cases, collected information is organized, analyzed, and sent back to the attacker.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“AgentForger points to something much bigger than a single vulnerability,” said Bargury. “It’s less about one bug and more about understanding how the <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4198963/ai-security-operations-and-the-new-race-against-time.html" target="_blank">security model changes</a> as AI becomes part of everyday business operations.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FOMO exposing security gaps</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This isn’t necessarily about trust, but more about the need to move fast and adapt, Bargury emphasized. AI agents are helping employees automate work, make decisions faster, and get more done. But enterprises fear they’ll fall behind if they don’t move quickly enough.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The challenge is that we’re introducing a fundamentally new kind of technology into the enterprise,” said Bargury. “The pressure to integrate the next AI feature is outpacing the security controls needed to safely deploy it.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, the answer isn’t to slow down adoption, he emphasized; the business value is too significant. Rather, the first step is understanding where AI agents exist, who created them, what they’re connected to, and what they’re allowed to do. And when it comes to autonomous agents, enterprises need to pay attention to the processes that trigger them: A schedule, an incoming email, or another automated event.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Those triggers should be governed just as carefully as the agent itself,” said Bargury.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">High-impact actions should require approval where appropriate, and security teams should be able to quickly disable an agent or its triggers if something doesn’t look right, he said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">More broadly, AI agents are introducing the need for a new security model, he pointed out. The question is no longer just “Does this agent have permission?” It’s also, “Is this the behavior we intended?”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The organizations that answer both questions will be in the strongest position to adopt AI safely,” Bargury said.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.</p>

<p>In our sample game we look at playing as Austria and aiming for a Diplomatic Victory. And our focus is on puppeting City-States, but I misunderstood and instead of making a Diplomatic Victory easier, it makes it harder. I still managed to get my Diplomatic Victory, but a Science or Domination Victory would definitely have been easier in this scenario.</p>

<h1>Playing Civilization V, Part 14</h1>

<p>Now I am at turn 340, I just puppeted another City-State, and I have one more on the way. I have sent a large number of military units, both land and sea, to the City-States that are on Japan’s border. If he tries anything now he will likely regret it. Now I am starting to build things I had not bothered with before, like Granaries and Amphitheaters. I got a couple of Great Engineers, and used them to rush build Wonders. I am nearly finished puppeting all of the City-States, and my Happiness and Income are both quite healthy. I am in such good shape I started to build the World’s Fair, which I initally proposed then ignored.</p>

<p>At this point I only have one more City-State to puppet, then I will have puppeted every City-State in the game. So it is time to put my large income to use in other ways by giving gifts to the other players. I may want to get a few more votes on my side to get over the top in the World Leader vote when it happens. On turn 357 I completed the puppeting of all of the City-States in the game. Meanwhile, I am building up my Science and building Wonders as they become available. I didn’t build any in the early game because I had other priorities, but now I have a strong military, high income, and no other pressing needs. My score on the Leader Board is now double that of my nearest competitor which is still Japan. And their denunciation me of just expired with them taking no action.</p>

<p>I used a Great Engineer to rush build the Porcelain Tower, earning me another Great Scientist, which I then used to build another Academy. At this point it is mostly a slog to the finish. Since I was so dominant and so wealthy I could afford to pursue a couple of other options just in case. One was a Science victory, which looked like a possibility, though it would be close. I had to be very focused in my Science Research. The other option was a Culture victory, and I had dominated two other empires culturally without half trying, and I was generating Great Artists, Great Musicians, and Great Writers pretty rapidly. So I built Museums, then Archeologists, and grabbed every artifact I find to stuff into the Museums. But the final Victory came when I researched Globalization. This tech allows you to get an extra vote in a World Council for every Spy you send to another empire’s capital and designate as an Ambassador. I immediately sent my spies out (they had previously been in my cities doing counter-espionage since I had a tech lead). And a few turns later a vote for World Leader came up and I won.</p>

<p>This was my first time using Maria Theresa of Austria as my leader, and it was fun, but in the end puppeting all of the City-Staters actually made it harder to win a Diplomatic victory. In other games I have played, every City-State that was an ally was an extra vote in the World Council, and I assumed that making them puppets would mean I would get that many votes. But that didn’t happen. Of course, if I had read more carefully in the Civilization Wiki I would have realized this, because it says there very clearly that Austria is one of the worst Empires to pick if you are going for a Diplomatic victory. So the fact that I managed it anyway is nice. I think I actually could have done a Science victory as I had my Spaceship half-built when I won the Diplomatic Victory. But I hope this analysis of how I actually played this game will be helpful to someone else.</p>

CI artifacts also contain a full command trace, so the exact workload is inspectable rather than hidden behind a chart.</p> <p><strong>Why I started this project</strong></p> <p>Many filesystem benchmarks follow a familiar pattern: create a filesystem with mostly default options, mount it, run fio or another generic workload, and compare throughput.</p> <p>General-purpose suites such as the Phoronix Test Suite are useful for conventional performance comparisons, but they do not focus on the machinery that makes modern copy-on-write filesystems interesting.</p> <p>I wanted a benchmark designed around btrfs, ZFS and bcachefs as multi-device storage systems rather than treating them as interchangeable replacements for ext4 on a single freshly formatted disk.</p> <p>That means testing behavior such as:</p> <p>- Redundancy and degraded operation</p> <p>- Snapshot aging, scaling and reclamation</p> <p>- Compression and encryption</p> <p>- Reflinks and clone divergence</p> <p>- Fsync tail latency and responsiveness under load</p> <p>- Rebuild and scrub behavior</p> <p>- Near-full and hard-ENOSPC behavior</p> <p>- Data integrity and recovery from corruption</p> <p>Ext4 and XFS over md, LVM and dm-integrity are included as classic-stack baselines so the costs and benefits of integrated CoW designs can be compared with layered alternatives.</p> <p>Silent corruption is one particularly important example. When one redundant copy is deliberately corrupted behind the filesystem, checksumming filesystems such as btrfs, ZFS and bcachefs can identify the damaged copy and recover from a valid replica.</p> <p>Traditional md/LVM redundancy without data checksums can notice during a scrub that its copies disagree, but it cannot determine which one is correct. In my tests, some classic configurations returned corrupted data successfully without an application-visible error.</p> <p>The dm-integrity configuration shows that a classic layered stack can obtain integrity protection too, with a measurable performance cost.</p> <p><strong>An important limitation</strong></p> <p>The main dashboard uses loop devices on GitHub-hosted VMs. Absolute throughput numbers and small differences between filesystems should not be interpreted as hardware rankings.</p> <p>The hosted runs are primarily useful for:</p> <p>- Correctness and integrity outcomes</p> <p>- Comparisons within the same job</p> <p>- Large behavioral differences</p> <p>- Snapshot-aging and near-full shapes</p> <p>- Trends across repeated runs</p> <p>Real disks are required for meaningful absolute performance, concurrency scaling, device parallelism and mixed-media topologies.</p> <p>I am aware of this limitation and do not want the hosted dashboard to suggest more precision than the underlying environment can provide.</p> <p><strong>The real-hardware experiment</strong></p> <p>Kent Overstreet, the creator of bcachefs, made one of his Hetzner machines available for a real-hardware experiment.</p> <p>The server had two physical NVMe devices. It completed three full benchmark runs, which are available in the separate real-hardware dashboard. These runs provided meaningful absolute measurements and exposed concurrency behavior that cannot be observed when several loop devices share one virtual disk.</p> <p>During the fourth run, one NVMe controller entered the kernel’s dead state. The existing machine environment had its operating system on RAID0 across the two NVMe devices, so the hardware failure also made part of /nix/store unreadable and eventually prevented new SSH sessions.</p> <p>The incomplete fourth run is not being published as benchmark data. This was a failure of the underlying hardware, not a result attributable to any filesystem being tested.</p> <p>I am grateful to Kent for providing the machine and making the real-hardware experiment possible. Without that access, the three existing hardware runs would not exist.</p> <p><strong>Where I would like to take it</strong></p> <p>Better hardware would not merely produce more reliable throughput numbers. It would enable an entirely new class of tests designed for multi-device and multi-tier filesystems.</p> <p>I would eventually like to run the suite on a machine containing several storage classes, for example two HDDs, two SSDs and an NVMe device.</p> <p>That could support scenarios such as:</p> <p>- HDD, SSD and NVMe baselines using identical workloads</p> <p>- bcachefs foreground and background targets</p> <p>- ZFS HDD data vdevs with SSD special vdevs</p> <p>- Separate ZFS L2ARC and SLOG experiments</p> <p>- LVM dm-cache in writeback and writethrough modes</p> <p>- Metadata and small-block placement on faster media</p> <p>- Foreground latency during background migration</p> <p>- Contention between fast and slow storage tiers</p> <p>- Degraded operation and rebuild under application load</p> <p>- Performance before, during and after promoting or evacuating a storage tier</p> <p>These are the kinds of scenarios for which multi-device and multi-tier filesystems are built, but they cannot be represented honestly when every “device” is a loop file backed by the same cloud disk.</p> <p>I am considering either renting a suitable dedicated server or eventually building and hosting my own machine. Providers such as Worldstream offer configurations close to what I need, but the recurring cost is currently outside the project’s budget.</p> <p>For now, the benchmark will remain in its hosted-CI form for an unknown amount of time. The existing dashboard will continue to be useful for correctness, behavioral comparisons and regression tracking, but it cannot answer every real-hardware performance question or model complex mixed-media topologies.</p> <p>I am also open to running the suite on hardware provided by someone else. A useful environment would need Linux root access, clearly identified block devices that may be wiped, and enough uninterrupted access to complete repeated runs. The hardware description, methodology and resulting data would remain public.</p> <p>I would appreciate technical feedback:</p> <p>- Which current tests are misleading or unfair?</p> <p>- Which failure scenarios are missing?</p> <p>- Which mixed-media topologies would be most useful?</p> <p>- Which additional filesystems or layered stacks should be included?</p> <p>- Which results deserve deeper investigation?</p> <p>The methodology, implementation and raw results are public. If a filesystem is being tested in a way that misrepresents it, I consider that a bug in the benchmark.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/bfenski"> /u/bfenski </a> <br> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1v4lsfk/i_built_a_linux_filesystem_benchmark_for/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1v4lsfk/i_built_a_linux_filesystem_benchmark_for/">[comments]</a></span>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Apple Maps will come built into Ford’s upcoming Universal Electric Vehicle Platform in 2027, giving drivers direct access to navigation, traffic updates, EV routing, and hands-free driving support without needing an iPhone.



Apple and Ford announced the partnership as part of a broader plan to bring Apple Maps directly into vehicle displays through Apple’s new MapKit for Automotive SDK. Ford will use the software across its upcoming electric vehicle platform, while drivers will still have the option to use CarPlay.



The built-in Apple Maps experience will include turn-by-turn directions, natural language guidance, live traffic information, incident alerts, detailed place cards, and route suggestions. Drivers will also get EV-focused features such as intelligent routing and battery preconditioning, which prepares the battery before arriving at a charging station.



Apple Maps will also support Ford’s hands-free driving system



Ford plans to use road-level data from Apple Maps to support the next generation of its BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system. The company expects this data to improve the driving experience between highway entrances and exits, while also helping its Latitude AI team develop more advanced hands-free features.



The direct integration means Ford drivers will be able to use Apple Maps even without an iPhone connected to the vehicle. CarPlay will remain available for users who prefer Apple’s full in-car interface.



Ford appears to be one of the first automakers adopting Apple’s new automotive mapping tools, and Apple has already suggested that more partnerships will follow as other manufacturers begin using the MapKit for Automotive SDK.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Cisco ran 6,986 multi-turn attacks against <a href="https://blogs.cisco.com/ai/proprietary-problems">15 flagship models</a>, attackers who adapted across the conversation broke through as often as 88.3% of the time. Amy Chang, Cisco's head of AI threat intelligence and security research, brought that finding to the agentic security panel at <a href="https://venturebeat.com/vbtransform2026">VB Transform 2026</a>; the number should worry anyone still running single-turn red-teaming programs.</p><p><a href="https://venturebeat.com/resources/the-agent-security-gap-54-of-enterprises-have-already-had-an-ai-agent-incident-and-most-still-let-agents-share-credentials">VentureBeat's June 2026 Pulse survey of 107 enterprise respondents</a> explains why the room was full. More than half, 54%, have already had a confirmed agent security incident (18%) or a near-miss caught before harm (36%). Just 32% give every agent its own scoped, managed identity, and fewer still, 30%, isolate their highest-risk agents in sandboxes. Provider-native and hyperscaler controls remain the primary agent security layer at <a href="https://venturebeat.com/security/shared-api-keys-expose-ai-agent-fleets-venturebeat-research">82% of companies surveyed</a>. The world's largest security vendors have done the same math. </p><p>Palo Alto Networks closed its <a href="https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/company/press/2026/palo-alto-networks-completes-acquisition-of-cyberark-to-secure-the-ai-era">$25 billion acquisition of CyberArk</a> in February, CrowdStrike <a href="https://www.crowdstrike.com/en-us/press-releases/crowdstrike-to-acquire-sgnl-to-transform-identity-security-for-ai-era/">agreed in January to pay $740 million for SGNL</a>, and Cisco announced its <a href="https://blogs.cisco.com/news/cisco-announces-intent-to-acquire-astrix-security">intent to acquire Astrix Security</a> for a reported $400 million, all of it aimed at the identity and isolation layer most enterprises have not finished building.</p><div></div><p>Chang came to the panel with almost two decades of experience spanning cybersecurity operations, government, and the military. She ran global cybersecurity operations as an executive director at JPMorgan Chase, where she led the bank's cyber threat intelligence teams, and served as a senior staffer on the House Foreign Affairs Committee and as a U.S. Navy Reserve officer. She also teaches cybersecurity and emerging threats as adjunct faculty at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.</p><p>Chang's 88.3% number comes from a study she co-authored with Nicholas Conley, built on 30,090 single-turn prompts and 6,986 multi-turn attacks against those 15 closed and proprietary flagship models. Multi-turn success rates ranged from 7.89% to 88.3%, every model tested showed non-trivial multi-turn exposure, and the two testing styles did not even rank the models in the same order. Cisco publishes adversarial evaluation signals for what is now 105 models on its <a href="https://leaderboard.aidefense.cisco.com/">LLM Security Leaderboard</a>, she told the audience.</p><p>"If you don't understand how models are susceptible to different types of attacks, then you are unable to account for how that model that is powering your agent, that is powering your application, to understand where those failure points are," Chang said. Single-turn testing is the one-shot malicious prompt, she explained, while extending an attack into a longer conversation "is more realistic of how we are actually engaging with our models, with our agents, with our applications." That longer arc surfaces harmful outputs and misaligned behaviors that a snapshot never catches.</p><p>Cisco has pushed the testing itself into agentic territory. Chang described a framework where agents assess a deployment scenario, develop relevant attacks, judge whether they are worth pursuing, execute them, and evaluate their own success. What surprised her most, after all that sophistication, was how simple the defensive answer stays. "The answer is still that it's pretty simple," she said. "You don't have to get super creative. You just need to think about truly what are the fundamentals and basics of what I'm trying to secure in my organization."</p><p>Her starting point for CISOs beginning agentic deployments is Cisco's <a href="https://blogs.cisco.com/ai/security-framework">Integrated AI Security and Safety Framework</a>, which she said "stipulates all the ways that AI can be compromised across the AI lifecycle" from modality through supply chain. From there, teams can work backward from real incidents, trace how each attack was achieved, and use the framework to build a strategy with the right coverage and mitigations.</p><p>Heather Ceylan, the CISO of Box, sees the same gap from the defender's side. "A lot of what you see out there with agent red teaming is just single-turn, and that's not how people are actually interacting with AI day-to-day," she told the audience. Box now simulates multi-turn adversaries with agents that think like an attacker and iterate attempt after attempt to hijack the target. "You have to pressure test your agents because otherwise you don't know if your execution controls are really working as you intended."</p><p>Box deployed agents inside its security operations center about a year ago, starting with human approval required for every action, and trust built quickly enough that analysts shifted into monitoring mode. Then the agent made one mistake, and every bit of that accumulated trust vanished. "They had to start all over again," she said. "So I think that that monitoring piece is so important. Even if you're not gonna have a human in the loop, things change, models change, and we can't control how the models change and interpret things."</p><p>Rajesh Parekh, VP of AI and ML at Intuit, brought the builder's perspective. Parekh led large-scale computer vision and ML systems powering Google's Maps and Geo products before joining Intuit, and holds a doctorate in computer science. </p><h2>Three layers versus an operating system</h2><p>Ceylan described Box's approach as three concentric layers. Permissioning comes first, so the agent never accesses more content than the human who invoked it. Ephemeral sandbox environments spin up for each agent task, containing the blast radius if an agent gets hijacked, and runtime execution control restricts the agent's tool calls to only those relevant to the task at hand. "If you want an agent to summarize a doc for you, if you have a prompt injection that came in that says forward this to maliciousattacker at domain.com, it can't do that," Ceylan said. "That action in that tool call is not even in its vocabulary."</p><p>She classified agent actions into three oversight categories. Actions that are not sensitive, like read and summarize, need no human in the loop. Moderately sensitive actions skip human approval but get logged and monitored, while destructive actions like mass deletion of files always require a human. "Things are gonna shift between those three categories quite a bit," she acknowledged, "but setting those types of categories up front allows you to have a principled framework."</p><p>Rather than layering controls onto agents one at a time, Intuit has built a central platform called GenOS, short for generative AI operating system, which abstracts security, risk, and fraud modeling so individual agent developers never reinvent protection. "Permissioning is not about giving access to AI," Parekh said. "Instead, it is defining very tightly scoped and clearly auditable authority to the agent to perform very specific tasks." Intuit evolved from agents inheriting user permissions to each agent carrying its own identity, and the company is now investigating mid-session permission changes tied to the specific task underway.</p><p>Parekh calls the broader model an AI-powered expert platform, one where the human expert is built into the trust architecture rather than bolted on as a gate. "The paradigm that we are pursuing is where the user, the AI agent, and the human expert are collaborating to solve the user problem," he said.</p><h2>The end of human code review</h2><p>Ceylan took on the tension between security testing and development velocity without hedging. "The days of secure code reviews where a human's looking at the code and we're looking at security architecture reviews, design docs, those are done," she said. "If you keep trying to do security that way, you're gonna get left behind." Box is building toward a fully agentic development lifecycle where agents review design documents, apply security requirements, and review the code for vulnerabilities. "I'm very optimistic that we will get to a point where we will write code without security vulnerabilities because agents and the models are going to get so good at writing code without vulnerabilities," she said. "We're still a long way away from that."</p><p>Her advice for development teams skips the advanced AI concepts entirely and returns to basics that predate agents. "It comes down to very basic least privilege access," she said. "If you start giving your agents overly broad permissions at the beginning, it's really hard to comb that back and build an infrastructure that allows for those ephemeral credentials and only those narrowly scoped tasks."</p><p>Parekh explained why the red teaming surface has expanded so quickly. "These agents have skills, and skills could become vulnerabilities," he said. "Agents have access to certain data, they have access to tools, and there could be threats that are lurking within those tools as well. So suddenly the blast radius of the malicious code or the intent increases dramatically." When Intuit identifies common vulnerability patterns from its manual red teaming exercises, it automates those tests back into the GenOS harness so future agents inherit protection and red teamers stay focused on new threat vectors. Runtime scanning of prompts and responses adds a final layer that can stop a suspect response and escalate to a human expert, he said.</p><p>"You need to continuously test to ensure that those remain robust to the protections that you have built, as well as to account for any sort of drift or any other types of dependencies that you introduce into your scenario that can create novel vulnerabilities," she said.</p><h2>Intent versus probability</h2><p>An audience question about intent detection set off the sharpest exchange of the session. Ceylan noted that when Box's own agent operates, the system always knows the user's intent because it controls the prompt, which means guardrails and tool-call restrictions can be engineered around it. The harder challenge, which she admitted Box is still trying to solve, arrives when external agents connect and the context behind the request is opaque.</p><p>That exchange exposed a split running through the wider industry. Mastercard, in the fireside chat immediately preceding the panel, came down on the side of quantifying intent, building an open-source framework to propagate it as a standard because complex B2B procurement cannot work without that trust. Endpoint security CTOs, in briefings with VentureBeat, have gone the other way, saying they will bet on probability rather than intent inference for production workloads. Chang explained why models, as they are trained today, cannot reliably derive intent from a prompt, which is why deterministic controls and behavioral proxies remain necessary. Ceylan agreed that both are required. "If you're not doing anything deterministic, you're really relying heavily on that intent, and I haven't seen programs that are there yet," she said.</p><p>Ceylan's story about trust collapsing after a single agent mistake landed as the panel's most memorable moment because enterprise agentic security is not a problem that gets solved and stays solved. Models change, permissions drift, and adversaries adapt across multi-turn conversations that snapshot tests never capture.</p><p>For the 82% of enterprises relying on provider-native controls as their primary security layer, and the 59% shopping for agent security tooling over the next 12 months, the panel's takeaway was blunt. Test the way attackers attack, across full conversations and continuously, or find out in production what your single-turn red teaming missed.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Black Forest Labs (BFL) is expanding its FLUX family beyond image generation with <a href="https://bfl.ai/blog/flux-3">today's launch of FLUX 3</a>, a multimodal frontier model trained to understand and generate images, or combined audio/video clips up to 20 seconds from a single prompt — and to extend the same underlying architecture to robotic vision and actions.</p><p>The Freiburg, Germany-based AI lab says FLUX 3 is jointly trained across those modalities rather than assembling separate image, video and audio models behind a common interface. </p><p>That distinction is central to the company's pitch: BFL wants enterprises to think about creative generation, simulation, computer use and robotics as connected applications of a single capability it calls visual intelligence — models, in the company's words, "that can perceive, predict, and act across physical and digital environments." This release marks BFL's first public video generation model. </p><div></div><p>FLUX 3 will be offered through four product lines: FLUX 3 Video, FLUX 3 Image, FLUX 3 Action and the upcoming, open source FLUX 3 Dev. FLUX 3 Video, with optional native audio generation, and FLUX 3 Action are entering a <a href="https://tally.so/r/44d9NX">gated "Early Access" program now</a>, to which anyone can apply, but which BFL must approve. </p><p>There is presently no public access through BFL's application programming interface (API) or those of partners yet, but the company says FLUX 3 Image will roll out in the coming weeks, followed by general availability. The limited initial availability rollout echoes the release strategies of new models from other frontier labs in the U.S. lately, including <a href="https://venturebeat.com/technology/anthropic-says-its-most-powerful-ai-cyber-model-is-too-dangerous-to-release">Anthropic</a> and <a href="https://venturebeat.com/technology/openai-unveils-gpt-5-6-sol-terra-and-luna-models-but-only-accessible-to-limited-preview-partners-for-now-per-us-gov">OpenAI</a>, though those were ostensibly for security concerns and due to government request. </p><p>What the company has not announced is pricing, production service-level commitments, evaluation methodology, sample sizes, rater counts or any image-model benchmarks at all. Enterprise buyers therefore cannot yet calculate total cost of ownership or independently reproduce the video comparisons.</p><p>Another big notable omission: FLUX 3 is <i>not</i> launching with downloadable weights at this time, nor an open source license. BFL says faster and open-weight versions will arrive later this year, and its technical blog names FLUX 3 Dev as "open-weight access to a multimodal backbone, for content creation (video, audio and image) and action prediction" — a considerably broader commitment than any previous FLUX Dev release, all of which covered images only.</p><p>But it arrives last in the sequence. Developers accustomed to receiving a locally deployable FLUX variant alongside — or soon after — a major model announcement will have to wait. That delay does not negate the company's commitment, but it is disappointing given the role open weights have played in FLUX's adoption thus far. </p><h2><b>Flux 3 is rated higher than the competition, but missing pricing and benchmarking details may prevent rapid enterprise adoption</b></h2><p>BFL has published several benchmark comparisons, but they're qualified as preliminary — with full benchmark results and methodology to be published later during broader general availability. </p><p>In early head-to-head preference testing on 10-second, 720p text-to-video clips with audio, the company says FLUX 3 was preferred over Luma Ray 3.2 in 93% of comparisons, Runway Gen-4.5 in 77%, Grok Imagine Video in 69%, Kling v3 Pro in 60%, Happy Horse v1 in 59%, Happy Horse 1.1 in 57%, and both Seedance 2.0 and Google's Gemini Omni Flash in 52%.</p><p>One caveat travels with every one of those figures, and it comes from BFL itself. The chart carrying the results is labeled a "preliminary evaluation of an early FLUX 3 candidate" — meaning the numbers describe a pre-release checkpoint rather than the model now entering early access. That cuts both ways: the shipping model may perform better, but nothing published today measures what customers will actually call.</p><p>Luma Ray 3.2 and Runway Gen-4.5, where FLUX 3 posted 93% and 77%, are the softest comparisons on the list — established products, but not the models currently setting the pace in independent video rankings. Those are real wins, and they are the ones least likely to change an enterprise shortlist.</p><p>Seedance 2.0, at 52%, is a statistical coin flip against a model most Western enterprises cannot currently procure. ByteDance indefinitely postponed Seedance 2.0's international rollout after Netflix, Warner Bros., Disney, Paramount and Sony sent legal threats over alleged systematic copyright infringement, and that suspension remains in place. Tying a frozen product is neither a strong claim nor a damaging one.</p><p><a href="https://venturebeat.com/technology/googles-gemini-omni-flash-hits-the-api-turning-enterprise-video-production-into-a-conversation">Gemini Omni Flash</a>, also at 52%, matters much more. Omni is the closest large-platform analogue to what FLUX 3 is attempting — multimodal input, video and audio-aware creation, conversational editing — and by BFL's own measurement, the two are indistinguishable on 10-second text-to-video quality. </p><p>Google's advantage in that matchup is that Omni is generally available via Google's Gemini API for $0.10 per second of generated 720p video, or a 10-second clip for around.</p><p>One regional wrinkle matters for a German company's home market. Editing <i>uploaded</i> video is unavailable to Omni Flash users in the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, though editing video the model itself generated is permitted. A European enterprise that wants to run its existing footage through a generative editing pass cannot currently do so on Omni Flash.</p><p>Here's a rough guide for enterprises considering which video models to rely upon: </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><b>Model</b></p></td><td><p><b>Max single-generation duration</b></p></td><td><p><b>Max resolution</b></p></td><td><p><b>Key constraints</b></p></td><td><p><b>Price per 10-second clip (720p)</b></p></td><td><p><b>Price per 10-second clip (1080p)</b></p></td><td><p><b>Price per 10-second clip (4K)</b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FLUX 3 Video </p></td><td><p><b>20 seconds </b></p></td><td><p>Not stated; evaluations run at 720p </p></td><td><p>Early access; no published SLA or pricing </p></td><td><p>Not announced </p></td><td><p>Not announced </p></td><td><p>Not announced </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HappyHorse 1.1 </p></td><td><p>15 seconds </p></td><td><p>1080p </p></td><td><p>No 4K; closed weights </p></td><td><p>Not published (v1.0 reseller rate is ~$1.82) </p></td><td><p>Not published (v1.0 reseller rate is ~$3.12) </p></td><td><p>n/a </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Veo 3.1 </p></td><td><p>Per-second billing </p></td><td><p><b>4K</b> </p></td><td><p><b>Supports clip extension; preview </b></p></td><td><p>$4.00 </p></td><td><p>$4.00 </p></td><td><p>$6.00 </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Veo 3.1 Fast </p></td><td><p>Per-second billing </p></td><td><p><b>4K </b></p></td><td><p>Preview </p></td><td><p>$1.00 </p></td><td><p>$1.20 </p></td><td><p><b>$3.00 </b></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Veo 3.1 Lite </p></td><td><p>Per-second billing </p></td><td><p>1080p </p></td><td><p>No 4K, no clip extension; preview </p></td><td><p><b>$0.50 </b></p></td><td><p><b>$0.80 </b></p></td><td><p>n/a </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Gemini Omni Flash </p></td><td><p>10 seconds (3s minimum) </p></td><td><p>720p at 24 FPS </p></td><td><p>Preview abd no EU access</p></td><td><p>$1.00 </p></td><td><p>n/a </p></td><td><p>n/a </p></td></tr></tbody></table><h2><b>One architecture for media generation and physical action</b></h2><p>FLUX 3 builds on <a href="https://venturebeat.com/technology/black-forest-labs-new-self-flow-technique-makes-training-multimodal-ai">Self-Flow</a>, BFL's method for aligning multimodal understanding and generation within one architecture, publicized back in March 2026. </p><p>The company says it significantly scaled up compute and data to train across video, images and audio simultaneously, and that testing showed video generation and action prediction do not require separate foundations — the same architecture could be extended to action prediction without sacrificing what it learned from video.</p><p>"We place vision at the center of our approach because it is the most signal-rich medium of the physical world. Images convey structure, images and video teach spatial relationships, video teaches dynamics, and actions reveal causal relationships. But vision alone is not the complete picture," said Robin Rombach, co-founder and CEO of BFL, in a pre-release statement provided to VentureBeat. "True intelligence means perceiving the world: predicting how it will change, taking action, and learning from the results. Joint training within one unified architecture is what will get us there, because each training modality strengthens the others. Audio conveys timing, prosody, and physical events that elude vision. Language conveys goals, abstractions, and instructions that pixels cannot easily express."</p><p>He put the case more bluntly elsewhere in the announcement: "You can't cheat reality. A model that only learns images can only generate images. But the world is not made of still frames. It moves, sounds, changes, and responds."</p><p>BFL says FLUX 3 targets creative tooling, media, design, e-commerce and physical AI, supporting video generation with synchronized audio, precise image editing, product and material consistency across motion, multilingual generation and robotic action prediction. It is already being tested by Canva, Burda, Magnific (formerly Freepik), Krea and Picsart.</p><p>For creative software companies, the appeal is consolidation. A single foundation could potentially support storyboarding, image editing, product rendering, video variation and localization without repeatedly translating assets and instructions between disconnected models.</p><p>For robotics teams, the potential value is data efficiency. Models that already encode motion, object behavior and physical change may need less task-specific robot training than systems starting from raw demonstrations.</p><h2><b>What FLUX 3 Video can actually do</b></h2><p>The video tier is the most concretely specified part of the launch, and it settles a question that had been circulating as rumor: FLUX 3 generates clips of up to 20 seconds with audio in a single generation. </p><p>Every video output comes with native audio. For comparison, HappyHorse 1.0 tops out at 15 seconds of 1080p with synchronized audio — though BFL has not stated what resolution its 20-second clips run at, and its published evaluations were conducted at 720p. Still, a 20-second long clip from a single prompt is among the longest yet achieved, matching <a href="https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/video-generation">OpenAI's discontinued Sora model.</a></p><p>The capability list BFL published covers:</p><ul><li><p>Text-to-video generation.</p></li><li><p>Image-to-video generation, either animating from a starting frame or using images as visual references.</p></li><li><p>Video-to-video generation from a reference clip, carrying elements such as a specific character into a new scene or context.</p></li><li><p>Generative video-audio continuation from existing video and audio input.</p></li><li><p>Keyframe-to-video generation for controlled transitions between defined moments.</p></li><li><p> Multilingual dialogue.</p></li><li><p>A broad range of visual styles and aspect ratios, from candid camcorder footage to animation and cinematics.</p></li><li><p>Typography generation and animated design.</p></li><li><p>Agentic chaining of individual clips into longer, multi-shot sequences.</p></li></ul><p>That last item is the one enterprise video teams should look at hardest. BFL claims the capabilities combine to produce sequences lasting several minutes, with visual references keeping characters consistent across scenes. If that holds up under production conditions, it addresses the constraint that has kept generative video out of most commercial pipelines: not clip quality, but continuity across shots.</p><p>It is also the capability where competition is most direct. HappyHorse 1.1's headline upgrade is R2V, or Reference-to-Video, which accepts multiple character reference images to hold identity stable across generated footage — the same problem, approached at the input layer rather than through agentic clip chaining. Alibaba also claims zero-drift lip sync and has specifically targeted the artifacts that mark commercial AI video as synthetic, including facial oiliness and over-sharpening. Character consistency is where this category is being contested, and both companies know it.</p><p>BFL says FLUX 3 Video is already particularly strong at human facial expressions, associating sounds with physical events, and multilingual output. On the image side, the company says preliminary evaluations conducted during midtraining show significant improvement over earlier FLUX versions in complex prompt handling and text generation, including high-accuracy text in multiple languages. It published no image benchmarks or win rates.</p><h2><b>FLUX-mimic tests whether video models can become robot models</b></h2><p>BFL is applying its unified-architecture thesis through FLUX-mimic, a video-action model built on FLUX 3 and developed with Swiss firm Mimic Robotics, one of the first partners to receive early access.</p><p>The technical blog describes two distinct routes to action prediction: integrating native action prediction directly into FLUX 3, scaling up the initial Self-Flow work; and using the pretrained video backbone as a dynamics-aware foundation from which specialized action models can be finetuned with limited task-specific data. FLUX-mimic is the second route — the FLUX 3 backbone combined with mimic's robot-learning and production-deployment expertise in dexterous manipulation.</p><p>FLUX-mimic is designed for general-purpose robotic manipulation: helping robots understand a visual scene, predict the consequences of an action, and adapt to new tasks with far less task-specific data. </p><p>BFL and Mimic Robotics say that depending on task difficulty, the model can be finetuned for a specific manipulation task with as little as 30 minutes of robot data, where prior approaches have required 30 or more hours.</p><p>"The hardest part of robotics is data," said Elvis Nava, CTO of Mimic Robotics, in a statement provided to VentureBeat. "Every new task normally means hours of a robot repeating itself. Because FLUX-mimic is built on top of frontier video models that already understand how the physical world behaves, it picks up a new task in minutes, not days. This way, we can leapfrog the current state of the art in robot learning."</p><p>BFL<!-- --> argues that a model trained only on images cannot understand a world that "moves, sounds, changes, and responds," and that physical understanding is what produces convincing generated footage. Google makes a nearly identical claim for Gemini Omni. </p><p>Its developer documentation cites "world knowledge" that combines "an understanding of physics" with Gemini's grasp of history, science and cultural context. Its marketing is blunter still: "Most AI models just predict the next pixel to build a narrative or an image. Gemini Omni is different," the company posted in June, crediting the model with "an intuitive understanding of forces like gravity, kinetic energy, and fluid dynamics for more realistic movements that follow real-world logic." </p><p>The practical consequence for enterprise buyers is that world-model language is not a differentiator. Two of the three leading video systems now market physical understanding as their central advantage, and neither has published a benchmark that measures it. </p><p>There is no standard test for whether generated water behaves like water, whether a dropped object falls at a plausible rate, or whether a sound arrives when the impact does. Human preference ratings capture some of it indirectly. Nothing else on offer captures it at all.</p><h2><b>Open weights helped make FLUX an industry standard</b></h2><p>BFL<a href="https://venturebeat.com/technology/s"> officially launched in summer 2024 </a>and gained a name for itself in the AI industry in the intervening two years for its commitment to open sourcing high-quality AI image models beloved by developers, creatives, and enterprises. </p><p>The company's founders, including Rombach, Andreas Blattmann and Patrick Esser, previously helped create VQGAN, latent diffusion and <a href="https://venturebeat.com/business/stable-diffusion-creators-launch-black-forest-labs-secure-31m-for-flux-1-ai-image-generator">Stable Diffusion</a>, the latter the open source technology that kicked off broad AI generation capabilities for the masses and currently used by many AI image generators and companies. </p><p>That reach translated into commercial distribution. FLUX models now power generative features inside Adobe Photoshop, Picsart and Nous Research's Hermes Agent, among other platforms, and the company cites film director Martin Scorsese among professional users.</p><p><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/black-forest-labs-ai-image-generation/"><i>Wired</i></a> magazine described Black Forest Labs as a relatively small company that nevertheless became a leading competitor to Silicon Valley's largest AI labs, with FLUX models ranking near the top of image benchmarks and becoming some of the most downloaded text-to-image models on AI code sharing community Hugging Face. The company says it now runs a 100-person team across Freiburg and San Francisco.</p><p>FLUX.1 Dev, FLUX.1 Kontext Dev, FLUX.1 Fill Dev and related control models, <a href="https://venturebeat.com/business/black-forest-labs-releases-flux-1-1-pro-and-an-api">released shortly after the firm's launch,</a>  gave researchers and creative-tool developers access to downloadable checkpoints, local inference and integrations with frameworks including Hugging Face Diffusers and ComfyUI. FLUX.1 Kontext Dev, for example, was released as an open-weight model for research and noncommercial use, with generated outputs permitted for commercial purposes under the applicable license.</p><p>The company continued that pattern with <a href="https://venturebeat.com/ai/black-forest-labs-launches-flux-2-ai-image-models-to-challenge-nano-banana">FLUX.2 Dev</a> in late 2025, a 32-billion-parameter open-weight model combining generation and multi-reference editing. Black Forest Labs called it the strongest open-weight image generation and editing model available at launch and released weights, reference inference code and optimized implementations for consumer Nvidia GPUs.</p><p>FLUX 3 Dev raises the stakes on that evaluation. Previous Dev releases were image models. This one is described as a multimodal backbone spanning video, audio, image and action prediction — meaning a single license will govern whether a company can locally deploy a model that touches both content production and physical machinery.  BFL hasn't yet shared information about its license, the parameter count, quantizations or hardware requirements.</p><p>The company frames open weights as an enterprise feature rather than a community gesture, arguing they enable secure, low-latency local deployment for applications like robotic control systems and let teams adapt FLUX 3 to their own data, products and workflows. </p><p>The financial backing behind FLUX 3 is worth noting alongside the technical claims. Black Forest Labs is valued at $3.25 billion and has raised more than $450 million from investors including a16z, AMP, Salesforce Ventures, Nvidia, General Catalyst, Adobe Ventures, Figma Ventures, Canva and Deutsche Telekom's T.Capital.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD executives took to the stage at its Advancing AI 2026 event in San Francisco today to detail the company’s next generation of AI infrastructure solutions, from Instinct MI455X AI accelerator GPUs and 6th Gen EPYC “Venice” CPUs, to Pensando networking, ROCm.AI software and its Helios rack-scale platform that ties it all together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has been working towards rack-scale AI system solutions for years. Its ZT Systems acquisition last year added valuable engineering talent and intellectual property that is now finally bearing the real fruits. Its <a href="https://www.amd.com/en/products/rackscale-solutions/helios.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Helios AI platform</a> is a major platform evolution for AMD, with shipments scheduled to begin in the second half of this year (which is here and now).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The announcements at Advancing AI show how the company has engineered its AI platform solutions for large reasoning models, sustained inference and agentic workflows. These workloads pressure memory capacity, data movement, networking and CPU orchestration. AMD’s approach is to keep as much data close to the compute engines as possible and move it more efficiently throughout the system, but there’s deeper nuance here that’s obvious versus AMD’s chief rival, NVIDIA.  </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD’s MI455X targets the AI memory wall</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Instinct MI455X GPU is the compute engine that fuels the Helios rack, and the first GPU based on AMD’s new CDNA 5 architecture. Built with a modular mix of 2nm and 3nm chiplets, it carries 432GB of HBM4 and 23.3TB/s of peak memory bandwidth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Compared to AMD’s current MI355X, <a href="https://hothardware.com/news/instinct-mi400-challenge-vera-rubin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the MI455X offers</a> 1.5 times the memory capacity, up to 2.9 times the peak memory bandwidth and up to four times the peak matrix performance with MXFP4 and MXFP8 data types, which are lower-precision numerical formats designed to accelerate AI processing while reducing memory demands. With MXFP6 (6-bit floating point), performance is rated at up to twice that of MI355X.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD also shared some actual, measured internal results using production silicon. The company claims MI455X delivers 3.8 times higher FP8 decode performance, 3.5 times more measured FP4 compute performance and between 2.5 and 3.5 times more networking bandwidth than MI355X, depending on the transfer path tested. Those figures provide more context than just numerical specifications, though they remain AMD-provided comparisons that will need independent validation.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-generational-leap.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="AMD Instinct chart showing generational leap in performance" class="wp-image-4200600" width="1024" height="547" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">AMD</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The architectural choices behind the numbers are important. Reasoning models and long context windows require sizeable KV caches for maintaining AI attention states, while mixture-of-experts models frequently move large amounts of data across accelerators. MI455X should let more model data, activation states and cache remain local. New dedicated IP in hardware can transfer data while the GPU continues processing, and expanded cache and multicast capabilities are designed to reduce redundant data movement to further improve efficiency.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The aforementioned lower-precision formats can also raise throughput and reduce memory use, but model developers still have to determine where they can be applied without unacceptable accuracy loss.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD’s Helios rack takes aim at Vera Rubin</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-helios-rack.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="AMD Helios rack" class="wp-image-4200601" width="1024" height="626" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">Dave Altavilla</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Helios is AMD’s primary rack-scale competitor to NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platform. Each liquid-cooled rack combines 72 MI455X GPUs, 18 single-socket Venice host CPUs and Pensando networking technologies.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In its most complete, premium configuration, AMD rates Helios for 2.9 exaflops of low-precision AI compute, with 31TB of aggregate HBM4 capacity, 1.7PB/s of memory bandwidth, 260TB/s of bidirectional scale-up bandwidth and 43TB/s of scale-out bandwidth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These are formidable figures, but they are technical specifications rather than actual application benchmarks. The more consequential development is AMD’s move from collections of eight-GPU servers to a 72-GPU shared-memory domain. Models too large for one node can operate across the rack without treating every exchange as a scale-out networking transaction, which benefits large-model inference as well as training.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD uses UALink over Ethernet, or UALoE, for an open standard scale-up fabric. Each MI455X provides 3.6TB/s of bidirectional scale-up bandwidth, while the complete rack delivers all-to-all connectivity through a single switch layer. AMD also claims six times more scale-out bandwidth per GPU than MI355X when MI455X is configured with three Pensando Vulcano 800 AI NICs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While open standards give cloud providers more control over suppliers and system design, AMD and its partners now have to prove those components can deliver the predictable performance, reliability and deployment experience customers expect from a tightly controlled, more vertically integrated platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finally, AMD designed Helios with automatic rerouting around failed links, virtual rack partitions, tray-level serviceability and rack-wide power, cooling and health monitoring. Major hyperscalers and potentially large-scale enterprise customers will likely key in on these capabilities, which can affect the availability, total cost and consistency of the AI services they consume.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kind of like cowbell, AMD Venice gives agentic AI more CPU</h2>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/amd-epyc-venice-cpus.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Chart showing AMD EPYC CPU performance" class="wp-image-4200603" width="1024" height="515" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><p class="imageCredit">AMD</p></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD’s agentic CPU messaging regarding its upcoming Venice-based EPYC processors is mostly marketing speak, but the underlying requirement is very real. An AI agent can invoke retrieval, databases, security checks, code execution and other tools before a GPU generates a response. Running many agents concurrently increases the amount of conventional compute requirements surrounding the accelerators.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Venice scales to 256 Zen 6 cores with support for 512 threads, 16 memory channels, up to 1GB of L3 cache per socket, along with PCIe 6.0 and CXL 3.1 connectivity. AMD is also offering several Venice configurations for other applications, including general-purpose servers, high-frequency workloads, GPU hosts and high-density CPU sandbox systems used to execute agent tools.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Treating the CPU solely as a GPU host understates its role. Gateways, tokenization, vector search, databases and short-lived code execution stress different mixes of per-core performance, thread count, memory bandwidth and I/O. Specifically, AMD’s internal testing shows Venice significantly outperforming its current EPYC 9965 Turin CPU across five parts of the agentic AI pipeline, including gateway processing, context assembly, vector search, enterprise applications and short-lived tool execution. Individual gains vary by workload, but AMD details the overall generational improvement at up to a 1.7 times lift. As with the MI455X figures though, these comparisons come from AMD and will require independent validation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pensando networking and ROCm software advance</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Keeping GPUs fed with data and coordinating traffic across racks directly affects utilization and operating costs. In fact, GPU utilization is a pretty sad state of affairs currently for some of the major frontier model providers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As such, Pensando networking has become central to AMD’s roadmap. Helios can connect each MI455X to as many as three 800Gbps Vulcano AI NICs, while Salina DPUs handle front-end networking and infrastructure services.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the software side, which is an equally critical component, AMD also introduced ROCm.AI, an AI-assisted development layer due to arrive in August. It includes reusable skills for coding agents, simplified management and Hyperloom, which can profile workloads, tune serving configurations, modify kernels and validate results.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These tools address two persistent AMD challenges: developer efficiency and ease of use, and software tuning. Automated optimization still has to produce repeatable gains without creating hard-to-maintain code, however. And while ROCm has progressed significantly over the last few years, NVIDIA’s CUDA retains an advantage in maturity, tooling and developer familiarity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Customer commitments underscore rack-scale confidence</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD now has commitments that give its MI450 generation and Helios considerably more weight. Meta and OpenAI have announced multi-generation agreements composed of up to 6GW of AMD compute capacity, with initial 1GW deployments planned for the second half of 2026.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oracle plans a 50,000-GPU public cloud cluster beginning in the third quarter, while Microsoft will deploy Helios for Azure AI inference. Finally, just before the AMD event, <a href="https://ir.amd.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1292/amd-and-anthropic-announce-strategic-partnership-to-deploy-up-to-2-gigawatts-of-amd-instinct-mi450-series-gpus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anthropic announced</a> a strategic partnership for up to 2 Gigawatts of AMD-fueled AI compute, with its first gigawatt expected online in the first half of 2027.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commitments of this scale reflect confidence in more than just MI455X performance. These customers are evaluating the complete architecture, including Venice CPUs, Pensando networking, ROCm software, rack integration, serviceability and AMD’s ability to deliver and execute across multiple product generations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There is some financial alignment behind the agreements as well. AMD issued OpenAI performance-based warrants and committed to investing up to $5 billion in Anthropic. That context matters when evaluating these deals as market validation, but these planned deployments are substantial nonetheless and put Helios on a much stronger foundation as it begins shipping.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AMD expands its robotics and embedded foundation</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD also expanded its physical AI portfolio, building on credible traction from its Xilinx-derived Kria adaptive system-on-modules and embedded technologies that are already powering robotics, machine vision and industrial automation applications.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The new Ryzen AI Embedded X100 combines up to 16 Zen 5 CPU cores, integrated Radeon graphics, a second-generation NPU and as much as 128GB of unified LPDDR5X memory shared across its compute engines. To me this looks a lot like a repackaging and optimization of the company’s Strix Halo platform, but with specific optimizations for the embedded space. Regardless, AMD is pairing X100 with the Kria AI Robotics Developer Platform, which includes a System Module or SOM, and a new Robotics Partner Network spanning hardware, software and platform providers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Samples began shipping in June, with full production expected in the fourth quarter. This broader objective is to give developers a path across AMD x86 CPUs, GPUs, NPUs and FPGAs for real-time autonomous systems, rather than requiring them to assemble those hardware engines and software components independently.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Execution for AMD is now the test</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD has assembled a credible platform for the burgeoning agentic AI market that’s blowing up currently with no signs of stopping. MI455X addresses memory and data movement, Venice handles dense agentic CPU workloads, Pensando networking connects global system resources, and ROCm.AI addresses software complexity. Finally, Helios assembles these components into a true competitive threat for NVIDIA’s latest Vera Rubin platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AMD’s open architecture may appeal to customers seeking supplier choice, but openness must also translate into reliable deployments, competitive total cost and software that does not require a significant rip-up. NVIDIA enters this cycle with a stronger ecosystem and far more rack-scale deployment experience. The true test will be how easily and reliably customers can integrate, operate and maintain these AMD solutions at scale.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As it stands, AMD now has major customers and a clearly defined architecture with systems engineering expertise behind it. Delivering Helios on schedule and showing that its performance claims translate into a real production workload throughput advantage and total cost of ownership gains will determine how much the competitive gap narrows. And of course, this is in a market that is clamoring for ever-more compute resources with a seemingly insatiable demand for AI services and capacity. That’s an environment for big iron success. Now AMD just has to deliver optimized, turnkey AI platforms. This is far easier said than done, but time will soon tell as deployments take shape this year.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some lucky customers took delivery of their own Tensor Processing Units (<a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4093957/what-are-tpus-your-guide-to-tensor-processing-units-and-ai-acceleration.html">TPU</a>s), custom chips developed by Google for AI applications, in the second quarter, company executives disclosed during a call to discuss its latest financial results on Wednesday.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The disclosure comes at a time when enterprises are grappling with a global shortage of high-end GPUs that is driving up costs and slowing AI deployment timelines, and even <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/03/altman-and-nadella-need-more-power-for-ai-but-theyre-not-sure-how-much/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">those who have GPUs don’t always have electricity to operate them</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We delivered to customer data centers for the first time in Q2,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anat-a-a334433/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anat Ashkenazi</a>, CFO of Google’s parent Alphabet, adding that the company had begun to recognize a small amount of revenue from TPU orders, although it expected to recognize more in 2027.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ashkenazi did not name the customers or describe the commercial arrangements, leaving open questions about whether the systems are being deployed by large enterprises, governments, sovereign AI initiatives, or other cloud providers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Until recently, Google’s TPU strategy centered on giving customers access to the chips through Google Cloud, while using the same silicon internally to power its own AI models and services. But during the company’s last earnings call in April, just days after it <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4162004/google-bets-on-workload-specific-tpus-with-8t-and-8i-launch.html">released two new TPU models</a>, CEO <a href="https://blog.google/authors/sundar-pichai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sundar Pichai</a> said Google would consider selling TPUs to AI labs, capital markets firms, and high-performance computing applications.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On Wednesday’s call, Pichai said Google will scale up TPU sales “based on the opportunities we see and the demand we see, commensurate with the constraints that exist and the allocation needs we have for frontier model development.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But Google is still keeping the bulk of its TPUs for itself, either for internal use or to rent out through Google Cloud Platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Our first priority is making sure we are allocating what we need to compete at the frontier in terms of AGI development,” Pichai said on Wednesday’s call. “We are using both TPUs and GPUs mainly for serving our models.”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ford will become the first automaker to embed Apple Maps directly into its vehicles, starting with an all-electric midsize pickup built on its new Universal Electric Vehicle platform. "The pickup -- with Ford testing preproduction models on roads now -- is expected to start at $30,000 when it comes to market in 2027," reports the Detroit Free Press. "Ford has said several other EVs off that platform will follow, including a small all-electric SUV." From the report: Ford CEO Jim Farley said the new EVs will redefine advanced technology as simple, useful, and at a price point that is attainable for most people. "We're proud to embed Apple Maps' navigation and mapping technology directly into our Universal Electric Vehicle Platform, giving customers the ultimate navigation experience alongside our Ford app, a full suite of software, and next-generation BlueCruise, all enabled by a new zonal architecture," Farley said in a statement. "Apple Maps has delivered a world-class product, and we're honored to be among the first to embed it directly into a vehicle, helping define intuitive, capable driving."
 
In a joint statement, Apple and Ford said the integration will deliver a "beautiful and easy-to-use navigation experience powered by Apple Maps directly to the vehicle's displays. Road-level Maps information will also enable Ford's Latitude AI team to build a seamless hands-free driving experience." Ford said it will use that road information to develop its next-generation BlueCruise hands-free highway driving capability. Also, by leveraging Apple's new MapKit for Automotive SDK, Ford's UEV Platform will offer drivers turn-by-turn directions using natural language, real-time traffic information, intuitive search and routing options for the best route. The system will give drivers EV routing functionality to help drivers with the warming and cooling process of the vehicle's battery before driving or fast-charging.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At a CISO roundtable organized by Anthropic's chief information security officer, Dev Rishi asked a simple question: Did everyone in the room have their AI governance and security policies written down? Every hand went up — about 14 people, by his count. His follow-up, about how anyone actually enforces those policies in practice, got a different response. "And everybody chuckled," Rishi, the GM of AI at <a href="https://www.rubrik.com/company">Rubrik</a>, recalled at <a href="https://venturebeat.com/vbtransform2026">VB Transform 2026</a> fireside chat in Menlo Park. "It was like the dirty secret in the room that everyone has these policies, but no way to actually make them real."</p><p>“Our founder and CTO has actually been really pushing to enable our agents in YOLO mode,” Rishi told the audience. That admission comes from a publicly traded data security firm whose business is backing up what he called the most important data in the world.</p><p>YOLO mode strips the permission prompt out of agent workflows and lets the agent act on its own. In Rubrik's version, a second AI judges every action in real time against policy in place of a human clicking approve. Rubrik is running the experiment on itself first. Rishi treats autonomy as a settled capability question and an open judgment question. "If you ask the agent to act autonomously, it will," he said. "It's a question that you have internally. Should it?"</p><p>Rubrik earned that question the hard way. When <a href="https://claude.com/product/claude-code">Claude Code</a> and <a href="https://www.anthropic.com/product/claude-cowork">Cowork</a> pilots rolled out, the company required every command to run in ask mode so the employee issuing it carried the liability, and the developer pushback filled a single Slack thread 120 messages deep. </p><p>"The developers basically are pushing back, and they're like, this is like the iTunes service agreement. I'm just hitting check, check, check, check, check, check, check," Rishi said. "There's no way that I can actually read through this. And it becomes security theater." Roughly 80% of respondents are in the same bind, Rishi said, citing <a href="https://www.rubrik.com/company/newsroom/press-releases/26/as-agentic-ai-adoption-accelerates-rubrik-warns-of-growing-security-gaps">Rubrik Zero Labs research</a> that found monitoring and approving agent actions takes more time than the agents save. The State of the Agent, the April report behind that figure, surveyed more than 1,600 IT and security leaders.</p><p>SAGE is the reason Rubrik trusts the bet. Short for Semantic AI Governance Engine, SAGE is the arbitration layer inside <a href="https://www.rubrik.com/products/rubrik-agent-cloud">Rubrik Agent Cloud</a> that watches every action an agent takes and reads the semantic intent behind it, then rules the action in or out against policies written in natural language. "We took what people said was human in the loop, a good idea, and we replaced it with AI in the loop," Rishi said, describing the pitch to security chiefs he characterized as skittish about non-deterministic systems.</p><h2>Security approval, not cost, blocks AI ROI</h2><p>Rishi’s path to Rubrik ran through <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/25/rubrik-acquires-predibase-to-accelerate-adoption-of-ai-agents/">Predibase</a>, the generative AI infrastructure startup he co-founded and ran as CEO until Rubrik agreed to acquire it in June 2025. Before that, he led ML product at Google on the team that became Vertex AI, served as Kaggle's first product manager as it grew from about one million to ten million users, and holds bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science from Harvard. </p><p>Over roughly his first three and a half months at Rubrik, Rishi set up 200 customer conversations with IT and security leaders across a customer base that looks like the Global 2000, asking open-ended questions about cost, latency, performance, and orchestration. "Pretty consistently, what I heard through all of those conversations was that all of those are pretty secondary," he said. "The main challenge is actually, how do I get this approved from a security and risk standpoint? I'm concerned about all the different things that could go wrong. Actually, I felt like that was one of the biggest things constraining ROI."</p><p><a href="https://venturebeat.com/orchestration/wall-street-is-debating-the-ai-buildout-enterprises-just-answered-86-say-their-gpus-run-at-half-capacity-or-less">VentureBeat Pulse research</a> presented on the Transform stage earlier in the day confirms the gap Rishi kept hearing. Two-thirds of enterprises, 66%, already allow or are actively building toward production deployment with zero human review, yet only 5% fully trust the automated evaluations that would make that decision. </p><h2>One AI reading what the rulebook can't</h2><p>Rubrik's own policies exposed why written rules fail as enforcement. One internal rule states that agents should respect Rubrik's customer data use policy, which sounds enforceable until someone tries. "Rubrik's customer data use policy is like a three-page document of legal text," Rishi said. "I have no idea how to write that in there as a rule." Asked on stage how a team of AI infrastructure people took on a problem that security engineers own, Rishi answered, "with a lot of naivety and innocence, honestly." His team bet that models good at understanding language could police other models, and SAGE became the answer.</p><p>The case for putting a model in the judgment seat comes down to precision. A rule like "agents should not be able to edit revenue fields in Salesforce" fails in conventional tooling because Salesforce does not delineate which fields count as revenue, Rishi explained, so administrators fall back on approving every Salesforce action by hand. SAGE reads the intent instead and acts as a judge, carrying organizational context, which can tell a benign lookup from the edit the policy prohibits.</p><p>Keeping the judge small is what makes the economics work. <!-- -->SAGE runs on a small language model that Rishi said operates at an order of magnitude lower cost and latency than a frontier LLM. "If I told you, don't worry, you're gonna be secure and governed, but I'm gonna double your cost and latency, you would tell me to get out of the room," Rishi said.</p><p>When Rishi asked who in the audience had worried about token consumption over the past year, half the hands went up. "And I guess the other half is probably just too lazy to raise their hand," he said.</p><p>SAGE is an aggregation of judges based on parameter-efficient fine-tuning that Rubrik uses to take on task-specific variants of a base model with shared organizational context. One judge watches for tool-use hallucinations while another suppresses PII before it can leave, each running as its own enforceable policy. Security and GRC teams have started writing financial rules into the same layer, including one internal policy barring AI spend on personal projects.</p><h2>The lethal trifecta</h2><p>Asked which attacks worry him most, Rishi pointed at the <a href="https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/the-lethal-trifecta/">lethal trifecta</a>, the term security researcher Simon Willison coined in June 2025 for an agent that holds private data while taking in content nobody vetted, with a channel to send what it finds to the outside world. The danger, according to Rishi, is what happens when individually legitimate permissions stack. An agent granted Salesforce access and email access on an employee's credentials has done nothing wrong yet, with <i>yet</i> being the operative word. "A very simple example is that an agent can start pulling data from Salesforce and then decide to accidentally leak and exfiltrate that out via an email," he told the audience. A financial services company he met the morning of the session made the point for him, telling Rishi that none of the individual permissions are bad on their own and the agent needs every one of them to do its job. "It should have permission to each of those systems, but it's the combination that ends up becoming really destructive," Rishi said.</p><p>Traditional identity and access management never priced in that combination because it relied on the judgment of the employee holding the credentials, Rishi argued, and agents supply none. "I can tell you the number of times Claude Code has tried to leak some of our sensitive source code to a public GitHub repository is incredibly high," he said. Cutting agents off from public resources entirely would defeat their purpose, which returns the problem to adjudicating intent in context rather than revoking access.</p><p>A separate <a href="https://venturebeat.com/security/shared-api-keys-expose-ai-agent-fleets-venturebeat-research">VentureBeat June Pulse survey</a> of 107 qualified enterprise respondents maps the blast radius of exactly this pattern. On the Transform stage that morning, VentureBeat research reported that 69% of companies run credential sharing somewhere in their agent fleet. Companies with shared credentials anywhere got hit more often, reporting a security incident or near-miss at a 63.5% rate (47 of 74), against 40.9% (9 of 22) where every agent carries its own scoped identity.</p><h2>The attacks no single turn reveals</h2><p>Rubrik Agent Cloud reached <a href="https://www.rubrik.com/blog/company/26/2/introducing-rubrik-agent-cloud-control-your-agents-with-ai">general availability in February</a>, though not everything Rishi described ships in it yet. Backtesting is just starting to roll out. The feature replays an organization's historical agent actions and tool calls against a new policy, showing where the policy would have stepped in and where an action would have sailed through uncaught, with policy edits applied in real time. Rishi called that archive one of the most valuable data troves an enterprise holds.</p><p>Real-time detection and blocking turn out to be the entry point rather than the whole product. Some attacks never trip a single-action rule. "No individual turn of the conversation was problematic, but if you took the session as a full trace, that ended up being problematic," Rishi said. Agent Cloud runs batch analysis across entire session traces every hour or every day and surfaces what Rubrik calls insights, the problems no individual guardrail caught. The same Zero Labs report found that 88% say they lack the ability to roll back agent actions without system disruption, a recovery gap that sits squarely in Rubrik's original line of business.</p><p>A skeptical CISO will ask the question the fireside did not answer. SAGE is a non-deterministic model policing other non-deterministic models, and Rishi offered no false positive or false negative rate for the judge itself. The closest thing the architecture gives to an answer is auditability, since backtesting and the batch insights both leave a human-reviewable trail of each call SAGE made and whatever got past it. Who watches the watcher, for now, is a trail of receipts rather than a benchmark. Until that benchmark exists, AI in the loop stays an operational wager rather than a quantified control.</p><p>Three questions fall out of the session for security teams. How many of the guardrails now in production depend on a human clicking approve, and what happens to that workload as agent count grows? Does anything in the stack enforce semantic intent, or is it all allow and deny lists? And can the team backtest agent behavior against a new policy, then unwind a multi-turn session without taking systems down?</p><p>Rishi's timing has a market behind it. In the same VentureBeat research, 82% of enterprises still name their primary AI provider's built-in guardrails and cloud controls as their main agent security layer, and 59% plan to adopt, add, or replace agent security tooling within the next 12 months. Only 12% include an agent-identity product in what they are considering, even with credential sharing still the norm. Every CISO at that Anthropic roundtable had a policy document and no enforcement mechanism, and Rubrik built a product for the space between the two. YOLO mode is the bet that an AI watching other AIs can finally make the policies real.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Half have already shipped an agent that passed their internal evaluations and then failed a customer in production; only one in twenty fully trusts automated evaluation today; and the most-cited weakness is that evaluations do not align with real-world outcomes. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively engineering toward, deploying agent changes to production on automated evaluation alone — with no human in the loop. The result is an evaluation gap — the distance between how much autonomy enterprises are handing their agents and how far they trust the tests that are supposed to catch the failures.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines how technical leaders measure agent performance: which reliability and evaluation platforms they use, how they select and trust them, what breaks in production, and how far they are willing to let agents run without a human in the loop.</p><p>The central finding is an evaluation gap — the distance between the autonomy enterprises are granting their agents and the trust they place in the evaluations meant to govern it. Half of organizations (50%) have, in the past year, deployed an agent or LLM feature that passed their internal evaluations and then caused a customer-facing failure, and a quarter have seen it happen more than once. Trust in the tests themselves is thin: only 5% say they fully trust automated evaluation today, and the single most-cited limitation is that evaluations align poorly with real-world outcomes (29%). Enterprises are discovering that a passing eval is not the same as a working agent.</p><p>What makes the gap consequential is the direction of travel. Two-thirds of organizations (66%) already permit fully automated, zero-human-in-the-loop deployment for low-risk agents (34%) or are actively engineering their pipelines to allow it within twelve months (33%). At the same time, the evaluation stack that would have to earn that trust is fragmented and immature: the most common primary tools are the model providers’ native evals, tied with having no dedicated tooling at all (17% each); and only about a quarter of enterprises run real-time quality checks on live production traffic. The autonomy is arriving faster than the assurance.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this survey — the Agentic Reliability &amp; Evals tracker — focused on how technical leaders evaluate agent performance and reliability. Responses are filtered to organizations with 100 or more employees (n=157), drawn from a single survey in June 2026; because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Where questions were multiple-select, those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By role the sample is senior and buyer-credible: 38% are final decision-makers for AI purchases and another 34% recommenders or influencers. Product and program managers (15%), consultants and advisors (10%), directors of engineering/IT (8%), and CIOs/CTOs/CISOs (8%) lead the named titles, alongside a large “Other” function (37%). By organization size the sample is mid-market-weighted: 100–499 (37%) and 500–2,499 (27%) employees lead, with 2,500–9,999 (20%), 10,000–49,999 (10%), and 50,000+ (6%) above them. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 23%, followed by Retail/Consumer (15%), Healthcare/Life Sciences (12%), and Manufacturing (10%).</p><p>At 157 respondents the sample is large enough to read directionally but should be treated as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It skews toward the mid-market, so it is best read as the view from organizations actively standing up agent evaluation practices rather than from the largest operators.</p><p><i>Note: This survey was rebuilt for the June wave from the earlier “LLM observability and evaluations” survey; because the questions and sample differ, no comparisons are made to the April–May data.</i></p><h1>Finding 1: A passing eval is not a working agent</h1><p><b>Half have shipped an agent that passed evals, then failed a customer</b></p><p>We asked whether, in the past 12 months, organizations had deployed an agent or LLM feature that passed their internal evaluations but then caused a customer-facing failure. Half of those that run evaluations had.</p><div></div><p>This is the report’s defining number. Half of organizations (50%) have shipped an AI feature that cleared their internal evaluations and then failed in front of a customer — an incorrect output, a broken workflow, or a quality incident — and a quarter have seen it happen more than once. Only 36% report no such failure, and the remainder either run no pre-deployment evaluations (8%) or don’t track the root cause closely enough to know (6%). The failure is precise and expensive: the evaluation said the agent was ready, and it was not. Everything that follows — how enterprises trust their evals, what they monitor, and how much autonomy they grant — is shaped by this experience.</p><h2>Finding 2: Almost no one fully trusts automated evaluation</h2><p><b>The top complaint: Evals don't match real-world outcomes</b></p><p>We asked which limitation most reduces trust in automated agent evaluations today. Only a sliver of enterprises had no complaint at all.</p><div></div><p>Trust in automated evaluation is scarce, and specific. Only 5% of organizations say they fully trust automated evaluation as it stands — meaning 95% name a limitation that holds them back. The most common, at 29%, is the one that most directly explains Finding 1: evaluations align poorly with real-world outcomes, passing agents that later fail. Bias or inconsistency (21%) and a lack of explainability (18%) follow — enterprises cannot always tell why an evaluation reached its verdict — and 17% cite data-leakage or privacy concerns in the evaluation process itself. The tests meant to certify agents are not yet trusted to certify them, which is precisely why the autonomy trajectory in Finding 3 is so striking.</p><h2>Finding 3: The autonomy ceiling is rising anyway</h2><p><b>Two-thirds already allow, or are building toward, zero-human deployment</b></p><p>We asked whether organizations would let an autonomous agent deploy a code or system change to production on automated evaluation results alone, with no human-in-the-loop validation. The trajectory runs straight through the trust gap.</p><div></div><p>Here is the paradox at the heart of the report. Even though almost no one fully trusts automated evaluation (Finding 2), two-thirds of organizations (66%) either already allow zero-human-in-the-loop deployment for low-risk agents (34%) or are actively engineering their pipelines to permit it within a year (33%). Only 22% rule it out for the foreseeable future. The direction is unambiguous: enterprises are moving to let evaluations gate production autonomously — removing the human check — at the same moment they say those evaluations don’t reliably match reality. The autonomy ceiling is rising faster than the assurance beneath it, which is the mechanism by which the false-confidence failures of Finding 1 will scale rather than shrink.</p><p>Notably, the autonomy bet is not just a small company phenomenon. Splitting the sample by company size, larger enterprises are slightly further down the path toward zero human review than smaller companies (70% versus 64%) and slightly more likely to have shipped an evaluation-passing agent that then failed a customer (54% versus 48%). The assumption that large, regulated organizations are holding the human in the loop longest is, in this sample, backwards.  To be sure, these are directional figures, since the survey was not a huge sample — 57 respondents from companies with 2,500+ employees and 100 from companies smaller than that. </p><h2>Finding 4: The evaluation stack is fragmented and provider-led</h2><p><b>Provider-native evals lead — tied with no dedicated tool at all</b></p><p>We asked which agent reliability or evaluation platform enterprises primarily use today. The market has no clear leader — and a large share has nothing dedicated.</p><div></div><p>The evaluation layer is early and unconsolidated. Provider-native tooling leads — OpenAI’s native evals and traces (17%) and Anthropic’s Claude Console evals (13%) together outweigh any independent platform — but it is tied at the top by a striking answer: 17% of enterprises use no dedicated agent-evaluation tooling at all, a notable gap for organizations shipping agents to customers. The specialist evaluation vendors — DeepEval (12%), Braintrust (8%), LangSmith, Weave, Promptfoo, Langfuse, Arize — are scattered across single to low double digits, and 11% have built their own. No independent platform has yet become the category standard, which leaves most enterprises evaluating agents with provider-native tools, home-grown scripts, or nothing.</p><h2>Finding 5: Production monitoring rarely watches output quality</h2><p><b>Only a quarter run real-time quality checks on live traffic</b></p><p>Production monitoring for an AI agent can watch two very different things. It can watch whether the system is <b>functioning</b> — is the agent up and responding, did each request complete, how fast, at what cost, with any errors. Or it can watch whether the agent's output is <b>correct</b> — automated checks that evaluate the content of each answer as it goes out: did the agent give the right answer, take the right action, stay within policy. The distinction matters because a confidently wrong answer is invisible to the first kind of monitoring: the request completes, the response is fast, no error is thrown, and every functioning-metric reads healthy. We asked organizations which kind their live production monitoring is built for today.</p><div></div><p>Grouped by what is actually being watched, the split is stark: 51% of organizations monitor only whether the agent is functioning, while 23% monitor whether its answers are right. Counting the ad-hoc reviewers and the don't-knows, roughly three-quarters of organizations run no automated, real-time evaluation of output correctness in production — they can see that the system is up and what it costs, and they are taking the correctness of its answers on faith. That blind spot is the runtime counterpart to the pre-deployment gap in Finding 1: the same organizations engineering the human out of the deployment decision mostly cannot see, in real time, when the deployed agent starts getting things wrong.</p><h2>Finding 6: Bought on cost, measured on consistency</h2><p><b>Price and integration drive selection; evaluation consistency is the goal</b></p><p>We asked what most influenced enterprises’ choice of an evaluation vendor, and what they treat as their primary measure of success. Both answers are pragmatic.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises buy evaluation tooling on economics and trust it on repeatability. Cost of evaluations (28%) narrowly leads selection, just ahead of ease of integration (27%) and evaluation accuracy (24%) — breadth of observability (13%) and vendor roadmap (4%) matter far less. On what success looks like, more than a third (36%) name evaluation consistency — getting the same verdict on the same behavior every time — well ahead of speed of experimentation (19%), reduction in failures (18%), production visibility (13%), and compliance (11%). The emphasis on consistency is telling: before enterprises can trust an evaluation’s verdict, they need it to be stable — the very property whose absence (bias and inconsistency) ranked among the top trust limitations in Finding 2. Satisfaction with current tooling is only moderate, averaging 3.8 on a five-point scale across overall satisfaction, ease of implementation, and value for money.</p><h2>Finding 7: The next dollar goes to humans and observability</h2><p><b>Investment is flowing to oversight, not just automation</b></p><p>We asked which reliability and evaluation investment will grow most over the next year. The money is going toward watching agents more closely — including with people.</p><div></div><p>The second-largest planned investment — behind only production observability — is human review workflows, at 26%. Read against Finding 1, that is the report's quietest contradiction: at the same moment two-thirds of enterprises are engineering the human out of the deployment decision, more of them plan to grow spending on human reviewers (26%) than on the automated evaluation pipelines (16%) that would replace them. The zero-human trajectory and the human-review budget are rising in the same companies at the same time. Indeed, only 8% report that their budget is not increasing. </p><p>Taken together, enterprises are hedging: building toward autonomy while spending to watch agents more closely and keep humans available for the calls that automated evaluation cannot yet be trusted to make.</p><h2>Finding 8: A tooling reshuffle is coming</h2><p><b>Nearly two-thirds plan to adopt or switch platforms within a year</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises plan to adopt a new, additional, or replacement evaluation platform, and which they are considering. Few intend to stand pat.</p><div></div><p>The evaluation market is wide open. While 36% have no plans to change, a clear majority (64%) intend to adopt a new, additional, or replacement platform within twelve months, and 31% within the next quarter. The consideration set points where current usage is thinnest: Confident AI’s DeepEval leads what enterprises are evaluating (20%), ahead of OpenAI’s native evals (13%) and Braintrust (9%) — the open-source specialists drawing more interest than their present footprint. </p><p>Given that so many enterprises today rely on provider-native tools or nothing at all (Finding 4), this is less a defection than a first real wave of tooling adoption — the moment the evaluation layer starts to consolidate. Which platforms earn that trust, in a market where almost no one trusts automated evaluation yet, is the open question this series will keep tracking.</p><h2>The bottom line: An evaluation gap that autonomy will widen, not close</h2><p>Organizations with 100 or more employees are granting AI agents more independence than they trust their evaluations to support. Half have already shipped an agent that passed its evals and then failed a customer; almost none fully trust automated evaluation, chiefly because it doesn’t match real-world outcomes; and most watch production for uptime and cost rather than for whether the agent’s answers are right. Yet two-thirds already allow, or are actively building toward, deploying to production on automated evaluation alone.</p><p>The vendor market is early and unsettled: the most common primary evaluation tools are provider-native evals, tied with no dedicated tooling at all, and a clear majority plan to adopt or switch platforms within the year. Encouragingly, the next dollar is going to observability and — pointedly — human review, suggesting enterprises sense the gap even as they engineer past it. At 157 respondents in a single wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market — but the direction is clear: autonomy is being granted on the strength of evaluations that the people granting it do not yet trust. The evaluation gap is not a coverage problem that more tests alone will close; it is a problem of evaluations that reflect reality and can be trusted to gate it. The open question for later waves is whether assurance catches up to autonomy — or whether the false-confidence failures move from customer incidents into changes that deploy themselves.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 157 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single June 2026 wave. This is a directional read rather than a precise measurement — the sample is self-selected, not a probability sample, and skews toward the mid-market. Respondents include product and program managers, consultants and advisors, directors of engineering/IT, and CIOs/CTOs/CISOs, among other functions, across technology/software, retail/consumer, healthcare/life sciences, manufacturing, and other industries.</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 101 enterprises, the infrastructure that feeds AI agents their business context is being built faster than it can be trusted. Retrieval-augmented generation is already the default context source, and provider-native retrieval has quietly overtaken the dedicated vector databases that define the category — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched their agents produce confident, wrong answers traced to missing or inconsistent context. A governed semantic layer is emerging as the fix, but most are still building it; the field is converging on hybrid retrieval; and even as provider-native tools lead in practice, a plurality say they intend to keep best-of-breed. The result is a context gap — agents that sound authoritative running on a foundation their owners do not yet fully trust.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines the enterprise RAG and context layer: what feeds AI agents their business context, which retrieval systems enterprises run, how they buy and measure them, where the architecture is heading, and — most revealingly — how often that context is already failing them.</p><p>The central finding is a context gap — the distance between how confidently enterprise agents answer and how reliable the context beneath them actually is. A majority of enterprises (57%) report that in the past six months their AI agents produced confident but wrong answers they traced to missing or inconsistent business context, and more than half of those said it happened more than once. This is not a fringe failure: retrieval is the primary context source for 38% of enterprises, more than any other approach, so when retrieval is thin or inconsistent, the errors it produces are wearing the agent’s authority. The infrastructure to fix it is being built — 58% already run or are building a governed semantic layer — but for most it is not yet in production.</p><p>Underneath, the market is consolidating in a direction that surprises. Provider-native retrieval — OpenAI’s file search (40%) and Google’s Vertex AI Search (38%) — already leads every dedicated vector database, and enterprises expect hybrid retrieval to dominate by the end of 2026 (34%). Yet a plurality (36%) say they intend to keep best-of-breed standalone tools rather than consolidate onto a provider’s native context stack, and a majority (57%) plan to switch or add a provider within the year. Stated preference and actual usage are pulling in opposite directions — the market is buying provider-native while insisting it wants independence.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series. This survey focused on enterprise RAG infrastructure and the context layer — the retrieval systems, semantic layers, and context sources that feed AI agents. Responses are filtered to organizations with more than 100 employees (n=101); the survey drew no responses from organizations of 100 or fewer, so the full sample qualifies. All responses are from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave, so the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Several questions were multiple-select, so those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By organization size the sample concentrates in the mid-market: 251–1,000 employees (31%) and 101–250 (31%) lead, with 1,001–5,000 (20%), 5,001–10,000 (12%), and 10,001+ (7%) above them. By role it spans managers (39%), individual contributors (27%), the C-suite (16%), and VPs and directors (14%); on purchasing authority it is buyer-credible, with 46% final decision-makers and another 26% recommenders or influencers. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 20%, followed by Healthcare/Life Sciences (11%) and a broad spread across retail, transportation, financial services, manufacturing, and education.</p><p>At 101 respondents this is a modest sample and should be read as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It is best read as the view from organizations actively standing up RAG and context infrastructure rather than from the largest operators.</p><h2>Finding 1: Confident and wrong</h2><p><b>More than half have traced agent errors to bad context</b></p><p>We asked whether, in the past six months, enterprises had traced a confident but wrong agent answer to missing or inconsistent business context. Most had.</p><div></div><p>This is the report’s defining number. A majority of enterprises (57%) have already had an AI agent produce a confident, wrong answer they traced to bad context — wrong metrics, stale definitions, or missing documents — and more than half of those have seen it happen more than once. Only 28% report no such failure, and a small remainder either don’t run agents on enterprise data or don’t trace root cause closely enough to know. </p><p>The failure mode is specific and dangerous: the model is not obviously hallucinating; it is confidently wrong because the context feeding it was thin or inconsistent. Everything else in this report — what enterprises retrieve, how they govern it, and what they plan to build — is downstream of this problem.</p><h2>Finding 2: RAG is the default context source</h2><p><b>Retrieval feeds more agents than any other method</b></p><p>We asked what an enterprise’s AI agents primarily use to understand its data. Retrieval leads by a wide margin.</p><div></div><p>Retrieval is the backbone of enterprise context. For 38% of organizations, RAG over documents or a vector index is the primary way agents understand the business — nearly twice the share of the next approach, a governed semantic layer or ontology (21%). Mixed approaches (14%), direct live-system queries (10%), and long-context loading (6%) fill out the rest, and only 2% let agents run on the model’s general knowledge alone. The concentration matters in light of Finding 1: because so much enterprise context flows through retrieval, the quality of that retrieval is the quality of the answer. When RAG is the default source, thin retrieval is not an edge case — it is the main failure surface.</p><p>One approach is notable for its absence from these answers: customizing model weights, also known as fine-tuning. Every leading source of business context is injected at run time. Our most recent direct measurement of fine-tuning comes from our April–May survey wave (a separate survey, n=136), where fine-tuning capabilities ranked last of six factors in model selection at 5% — even as 26% of that sample still named fine-tuning and customization an investment they expect to grow. Fine-tuning has fallen out of the primary selection conversation; context injection is how enterprises make agents knowledgeable about their business.</p><h2>Finding 3: Provider-native retrieval already leads the vector databases</h2><p><b>OpenAI file search and vertex AI search top the dedicated tools</b></p><p>We asked which retrieval systems enterprises run in production today. The answer favors the model providers and hyperscalers over the specialists.</p><div></div><p>The dedicated vector database is no longer the center of the RAG stack. OpenAI’s file search (40%) and Google’s Vertex AI Search (38%) lead — provider-native and hyperscaler-native retrieval — ahead of every purpose-built vector database. Among the specialists, the most-used is the one enterprises already run for other reasons (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, 20%) and the open, embedded option (pgvector, 12%); the pure-play vector databases that define the category — Weaviate, Qdrant, Pinecone, Milvus — each sit in single digits to low double digits. Notably, 13% of enterprises say they still run no production RAG at all. As with the platforms in the parallel infrastructure wave, enterprises are gravitating to retrieval that comes bundled with tools they already buy.</p><p>The shape of this finding held across both Q2 waves. In April–May (n=161), provider-built retrieval led usage there too, while every dedicated vector database remained marginal — the most-used standalone vector database peaked at 8% of that sample — and the hybrid, pluralistic future was already the consensus expectation (34% expected hybrid retrieval to dominate, with another 29% expecting multiple architectures by use case). Two waves, consistent picture: the category that coined the “vector database” term is being collected by the platforms enterprises already buy from.</p><h2>Finding 4: But they say they want to keep best-of-breed</h2><p><b>A plurality resist consolidating onto a provider’s native stack</b></p><p>We asked how enterprises will respond as model providers bundle retrieval, memory, and orchestration into their platforms. Their stated intent cuts against their current usage.</p><div></div><p>Here is the tension at the heart of the stack. Even as provider-native retrieval leads in practice (Finding 3), a plurality of enterprises (36%) say they intend to keep best-of-breed standalone tools rather than consolidate onto a provider’s native context stack — well ahead of the 21% who plan to consolidate. Another 21% expect a mix, and 9% intend to build and own the layer themselves. The gap between what enterprises run and what they say they want is the strategic question of the category: they are adopting bundled retrieval for convenience while asserting they will preserve independence. Which impulse wins — the pull of the provider bundle or the stated preference for modular control — will shape the retrieval market more than any single tool.</p><h2>Finding 5: Hybrid retrieval is the consensus bet</h2><p><b>Vector-only retrieval is already seen as insufficient</b></p><p>We asked which retrieval architecture enterprises expect to dominate their production RAG systems by the end of 2026. The field is converging — with a large share still unsure.</p><div></div><p>The architecture is settling on hybrid. A third (34%) expect hybrid retrieval — embeddings combined with reranking and access controls — to dominate their production systems by the end of 2026, three times the 11% who expect vector-only retrieval to prevail. That is a notable signal: the pure vector-search approach that launched the category is already viewed as insufficient on its own, superseded by pipelines that add reranking for accuracy and access controls for governance — the very access controls whose absence produces the failures in Finding 1. Tellingly, the second-largest answer is uncertainty: 17% simply don’t know, and another 14% expect to move beyond a dedicated vector layer entirely toward tool-first or long-context retrieval. The consensus is not a single tool but a layered pipeline — and it is not yet fully formed.</p><h2>Finding 6: The governed context layer is being built now</h2><p><b>Most run or are building a semantic layer — few in production</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises use a governed semantic or context layer to give agents and BI a shared understanding of their data. Most are on the path; fewer have arrived.</p><div></div><p>The fix for the context gap is under construction. Well over half of enterprises (58%) either run a governed semantic layer in production (25%) or are piloting and building one (34%), and a further 17% are actively evaluating — meaning three-quarters are engaged with the idea in some form. But the balance is telling: more are building than have shipped, so for most enterprises the shared, governed definition layer that would prevent the "confident but wrong" failures of Finding 1 is still a work in progress. The semantic layer is the industry’s answer to inconsistent context; this wave catches it mid-construction, ambition well ahead of production.</p><h2>Finding 7: Bought on ingestion and simplicity, watched for correctness</h2><p><b>Selection favors operability; monitoring favors correctness and security</b></p><p>We asked what matters most when enterprises choose a retrieval system, and what they track once it is running. Both answers lean practical.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises choose retrieval systems on operability. Ease of data ingestion (36%), latency and performance (32%), and operational simplicity (29%) lead the selection criteria — ahead of retrieval accuracy and access control (23% each), the two factors most directly tied to the failures in Finding 1. Once systems are running, the emphasis shifts toward trust: the most-tracked metrics are response correctness (42%) and security and access control (38%), ahead of latency (28%), operational stability (27%), and answer relevance (23%). </p><p>Satisfaction with current systems is moderately positive but not enthusiastic — on a five-point scale, overall satisfaction averages 4.0, with ease of implementation and value for money both near 3.9. Enterprises buy for how easily a system runs and watch it for whether it can be trusted.</p><h2>Finding 8: A retrieval reshuffle is coming</h2><p><b>A majority plan to change providers — and the vector specialists are gaining interest</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises plan to change or add a retrieval provider, and which they are considering. The consideration set differs from today’s stack.</p><div></div><p>The retrieval stack is not settled. While 43% have no plans to change, a small majority (57%) intend to switch or add a provider within twelve months, and a quarter (26%) within the next quarter. The consideration set is where it gets interesting: provider-native retrieval still leads what enterprises are evaluating (OpenAI 22%, Vertex AI Search 21%), but the open-source vector specialists punch above their current footprint — Qdrant (14%) and Milvus (13%) draw more switching interest than their present usage (10% and 6%) would suggest. Read with Finding 4, the picture is a market in flux: enterprises run provider-native today, are evaluating a broader field, and say they want to keep their options open. The reshuffle ahead will test whether best-of-breed intent survives contact with the convenience of the bundle.</p><h1>The bottom line: A context gap that more retrieval alone won’t close</h1><p>Organizations with more than 100 employees are wiring agents into their business faster than they can guarantee the context those agents run on. Retrieval is the default source of enterprise context, and it increasingly comes from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than the dedicated vector databases — yet a majority of enterprises have already watched agents answer confidently and wrongly because that context was thin or inconsistent. The failure is not exotic; it is the predictable result of pointing authoritative-sounding agents at an unreliable foundation.</p><p>The industry’s answer — a governed semantic layer, hybrid retrieval with reranking and access controls — is being built but is mostly not yet in production, and enterprises are pulled between the convenience of provider-native bundles and a stated preference for best-of-breed independence. At 101 respondents in a single Q2 wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market — but the direction is clear: the context layer is the next contested tier of the AI stack, and right now agents are running ahead of it. The context gap is not a retrieval-volume problem that more documents or bigger indexes will solve on their own; it is a problem of governed, consistent, access-aware context. The open question for later waves is whether enterprises finish building that layer before the confident-but-wrong failures move from the lab into decisions that matter.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 101 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave. At this sample size the results should be read as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement — it's a self-selected sample, not a probability sample, and skews toward the mid-market.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 107 enterprises, AI agents are being given real access to systems and data while the controls meant to contain them lag behind. More than half have already had a confirmed agent security incident or a near-miss; only about a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most agents still share credentials; and only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents. The security stack is overwhelmingly borrowed from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than purpose-built for agents, spending remains a thin slice of the security budget, and enterprises are evenly split on whether their defenses are keeping pace with AI-enabled attackers. The result is an agent security gap — autonomous agents proliferating faster than the identity, isolation, and enforcement controls needed to hold them.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines how enterprises secure their AI agents: what tooling they run, how they manage agent identity and isolation, what has already gone wrong, how much they spend, and whether they believe their defenses are keeping pace with AI-enabled attackers.</p><p>The central finding is an agent security gap — the distance between the autonomy enterprises are granting their agents and the controls in place to contain them. More than half of organizations (54%) have already experienced a confirmed agent security incident (18%) or a near-miss caught before harm (36%). The structural weakness beneath those numbers is identity: only about a third (32%) give every agent its own scoped, managed identity, while the rest report that some agents share credentials or that agents mostly run on shared API keys and human or service-account credentials. When agents share credentials, a single compromised or over-permissioned agent carries a wide blast radius — and only three in ten enterprises (30%) isolate their highest-risk agents in sandboxes to bound that radius.</p><p>What makes the gap notable is how comfortable enterprises are inside it. The security stack is overwhelmingly provider-native — OpenAI’s guardrails (51%), Google’s and Microsoft’s cloud controls, and Anthropic’s managed-agent controls dominate, while the dedicated agent-security specialists barely register — and satisfaction with that borrowed stack is high, averaging 4.2 out of 5. Yet spending remains a thin slice of the security budget, only a third of enterprises believe their AI defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers, and a clear majority plan to change tooling within the year. Enterprises are satisfied with controls they are simultaneously preparing to replace.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this instrument focused on enterprise agent security — the tooling, identity, isolation, and enforcement controls organizations use to secure autonomous AI agents. Responses are filtered to organizations with more than 100 employees (n=107; the survey’s smallest size band, 1–100 employees, is excluded), drawn from a single June 2026 wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Several questions were multiple-select, so those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By role the sample is senior and buyer-credible: 45% are final decision-makers for AI purchases and another 30% recommenders or influencers. Managers (43%), individual contributors (24%), VPs and directors (15%), and the C-suite (11%) make up the seniority mix. By organization size the sample is mid-market-weighted: 251–1,000 (42%) and 101–250 (25%) employees lead, with 1,001–5,000 (19%), 5,001–10,000 (8%), and 10,001+ (7%) above them. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 23%, followed by Manufacturing (15%), Retail/E-commerce (14%), and Healthcare/Life Sciences (13%).</p><p>At 107 respondents the sample is large enough to read directionally but should be treated as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It skews toward the mid-market, so it is best read as the view from organizations actively standing up agent security rather than from the largest operators.</p><p>Satisfaction ratings are computed on the respondents who answered each rating question; the overall satisfaction score reflects 82 of the 107 qualified respondents.</p><h2>Finding 1: The incidents are already here</h2><p><b>More than half have had an agent security incident or near-miss</b></p><p>We asked whether organizations had experienced an agent security incident — a confirmed breach, or a near-miss caught before harm. Most that run agents in production had.</p><div></div><p>This is the report’s defining number. More than half of organizations (54%) have already had an agent security event — 18% a confirmed incident and 36% a near-miss caught before it caused harm. Only 42% report nothing, and a small remainder either run no agents in production or don’t track such events. That so many report near-misses rather than only confirmed incidents is telling: enterprises are catching problems, but they are catching them close to the edge. The controls examined in the rest of this report — identity, isolation, enforcement — are what determine whether the next near-miss stays a near-miss.</p><p>Exposure scales with company size, but containment does not. The incident-or-near-miss rate rises from 49% in the mid-market (companies with 101-1,000 employees) to 63% at larger enterprises (above 1,000 employees), while sandbox isolation of high-risk agents falls from 35% to 20%, and satisfaction with security tooling drops from 4.36 to 3.97. The organizations running the most agents across the most systems carry the most incidents and the least of the one control that bounds an incident's blast radius.</p><h2>Finding 2: The identity gap</h2><p><b>Only a third give every agent its own scoped identity</b></p><p>We asked how enterprises manage the identity of their AI agents — whether each agent has its own credentials, or agents share them. Full per-agent identity is the exception.</p><div></div><p>Rolled together, the overlapping answers show 69% of enterprises (74 of 107) with credential sharing somewhere in the agent fleet. Identity is the structural weakness beneath the incidents. Only about a third of enterprises (32%) give every agent its own scoped, managed identity — the precondition for least-privilege access and clean attribution. Nearly half (48%) say some agents have scoped identities but many still share credentials, and another 32% say agents mostly run on shared API keys or borrowed human and service-account credentials. (Respondents could describe more than one pattern across their agent fleet, so these overlap.) </p><p>The consequence is direct: when agents share credentials, an over-permissioned or compromised agent can act with far more reach than intended, and forensics after an incident cannot cleanly tell which agent did what. The non-human identity problem — giving every agent its own governed identity — is the single largest unfinished piece of enterprise agent security.</p><p>Moreover, a company’s agent credential posture is correlated with incidents. Organizations with credential sharing anywhere in the fleet were hit — with an incident or a near-miss in the past twelve months — at 63.5% (47 of 74). Organizations where every agent carries its own scoped identity were hit at 40.9% (9 of 22). The fully-scoped group is small, so for now the relationship is an association rather than proven causation, and the gap is concentrated in the mid-market — but within a single survey, a twenty-three point difference in incident rate suggests significance.</p><h2>Finding 3: Observe and enforce, but rarely isolate</h2><p><b>Only three in 10 sandbox their highest-risk agents</b></p><p>We asked what an organization’s agent security posture looks like in practice — whether they observe, enforce, isolate, or some combination. The control that bounds damage is the least common.</p><div></div><p>Monitoring and enforcement are reasonably common; containment is not. Roughly half of enterprises observe agent activity (47%) or enforce scoped permissions at runtime (49%), but only 30% isolate their highest-risk agents in sandboxes that bound the blast radius when the other controls fail. That ordering is backwards from a defense-in-depth standpoint: observation tells you what happened, enforcement tries to prevent it, but isolation is what limits the damage when prevention fails — and it is the control enterprises have adopted least. Combined with the identity gap in Finding 2, the picture is of agents that are watched and permissioned but rarely boxed in, which is precisely the configuration in which a single failure propagates.</p><h2>Finding 4: Security runs on borrowed, provider-native controls</h2><p><b>Guardrails from OpenAI, Google and Microsoft dominate; specialists barely register</b></p><p>We asked which agent security tooling enterprises use, and which is their primary layer. The answer favors the model providers and hyperscalers over the dedicated security vendors.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises are securing agents with tools that came bundled with their models and clouds. OpenAI’s guardrails lead at 51%, followed by Google’s and Microsoft’s cloud-native controls and Anthropic’s managed-agent controls — and when asked to name their single primary security layer, 82% name one of these provider-native offerings. The purpose-built agent-security category — Palo Alto’s Prisma AIRS, CrowdStrike, Cisco AI Defense, Zenity, HiddenLayer, Check Point’s Lakera, Okta for AI Agents, non-human identity platforms — barely registers, each in the low single digits, and only 5% run no dedicated tooling at all. As with retrieval and evaluation elsewhere in this series, the provider bundle is winning the default: enterprises reach first for the guardrails their platform ships, and the independent security layer that would address the identity and isolation gaps has not yet been adopted at scale.</p><p>The provider-default pattern is consistent across both Q2 survey waves. In April–May (n=110), usage was led by the same names — OpenAI's controls at 26%, Azure at 15%, AWS at 14%, Google at 12% — with every dedicated agent-security specialist at 3% or below and one in ten using no dedicated tooling at all. The common finding from the two surveys: Enterprises are defaulting to the solutions provided by the platform they’re using, and the specialist category vendors have yet to become big players here.</p><p>(<i>A note on reading these shares. As described in the methodology section, the respondent sample is self-selected and skews mid-market, and the usage question counted every vendor or approach a respondent has in place — so the figures measure presence in the security stack rather than spending or exclusivity. Individual vendor percentages therefore carry all the usual sample caveats. The structural pattern, however, held across both Q2 waves on two differently worded questions: provider-native and hyperscaler controls lead, and dedicated agent-security specialists remain in low single digits. Read the individual shares loosely and the pattern with confidence.)</i></p><h2>Finding 5: And enterprises are comfortable with it</h2><p><b>Satisfaction is high, even as incidents mount and identity lags</b></p><p>We asked how satisfied enterprises are with their current agent security tooling. The comfort is notably out of step with the exposure documented above.</p><div></div><p>Satisfaction with agent security tooling is high — 4.2 out of 5 overall, and 4.1 for value for money — among the most positive readings in this series. That is the striking part: enterprises are highly satisfied with a stack that is mostly borrowed provider guardrails, even though more than half have already had an incident or near-miss and only a third give their agents scoped identities. The comfort appears to rest on the convenience and low friction of provider-native controls rather than on demonstrated containment. It is a false comfort in the making — the same enterprises expressing satisfaction are, as Finding 8 shows, a clear majority planning to change tooling within the year, which suggests the confidence is thinner than the score implies.</p><h2>Finding 6: Budgets haven’t caught up</h2><p><b>Most spend under a tenth of the security budget on agents</b></p><p>We asked what share of the security budget enterprises allocate to securing AI agents. For a fast-emerging risk, the allocation is modest.</p><div></div><p>Spending on agent security is still a thin slice. The most common allocation is 6–10% of the security budget (46%), and a third of enterprises (34%) spend 5% or less; only a quarter (24%) devote more than a tenth. Given the incident rate in Finding 1 and the identity and isolation gaps in Findings 2 and 3, the budget looks like a lagging indicator — the risk has arrived faster than the funding to address it. The enterprises spending more than a tenth of their security budget on agents are a distinct minority, and they are likely the ones building the scoped-identity and isolation controls the rest have not.</p><h1>Finding 7: The arms race is even, at best</h1><p><b>Only a third think their AI defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers</b></p><p>We asked how enterprises assess the balance between their AI-enabled defenses and AI-enabled attackers. Confidence is far from settled.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises are split on whether they are winning. Only about a third (35%) believe their AI-enabled defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers; the rest are less sure — 32% call it roughly even, 21% think attackers are ahead, and another 21% say it is too early to tell. Taken together, a clear majority (53%) rate the balance as even or tilted toward the attacker. That uncertainty sits uneasily beside the high satisfaction of Finding 5: enterprises are content with their tooling yet unconvinced it is winning the contest it exists to win. In a domain where the offense is also compounding with AI, an even race is not a comfortable place to be.</p><h2>Finding 8: A security reshuffle is coming</h2><p><b>Nearly six in 10 plan to adopt or switch tooling within a year</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises plan to adopt a new, additional, or replacement agent security solution, and which they are considering. Few intend to stand pat.</p><div></div><p>The security stack is not settled. While 41% have no plans to change, a clear majority (59%) intend to adopt a new, additional, or replacement agent security solution within twelve months, and 29% within the next quarter — a strong signal that, high satisfaction notwithstanding, enterprises know the current stack is provisional. Incidents are what start the buying cycle. </p><p>Among organizations that have been hit, 42.1% plan to adopt, add, or replace agent security tooling within the next ninety days, against 14.0% of organizations with no incident — and after a confirmed incident it becomes majority behavior, at 52.6%. Getting hit also changes the threat assessment: 33.3% of hit organizations say AI-armed attackers are ahead of their defenses, against 8.0% of the unhit. Experience, in this data, is the strongest predictor of both urgency and pessimism.</p><p>The consideration set still leans provider-native (OpenAI 34%, Google 30%, Anthropic 29%, Azure 25%), but the dedicated security vendors — Cloudflare, Cisco, Palo Alto, Okta, Check Point’s Lakera — draw early interest in the mid-to-high single digits, more than their current footprint. </p><p>What the shopping does not yet include is the identity layer specifically. Twelve percent of the respondents include an agent-identity product — Okta for AI Agents, Microsoft Entra Agent ID, or a non-human identity platform — anywhere in their consideration set, and among the credential-sharing organizations that have already had an incident, identity consideration is essentially unchanged, at roughly one in ten. The control most directly implicated by the incident data is the one largely missing from the purchase plans. Whether this wave hardens the provider-native default or finally opens the door to purpose-built agent security — the identity and isolation controls the incidents call for — is the question this series will keep tracking.</p><h2>The bottom line: A security gap that autonomy will test first</h2><p>Organizations with more than 100 employees are giving AI agents real reach into systems and data while securing them with controls built for something else. More than half have already had an incident or near-miss; only a third give every agent its own scoped identity, and most still share credentials; only three in ten isolate their highest-risk agents; and the stack doing this work is overwhelmingly borrowed from the model providers and hyperscalers rather than purpose-built for agents.</p><p>The uncomfortable pairing is confidence with exposure: satisfaction with the current tooling is among the highest in this series, yet spending is a thin slice of the security budget, only a third believe their defenses are ahead of AI-enabled attackers, and a clear majority are already planning to replace what they have. At 107 respondents in a single wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market — but the direction is clear: agent adoption is running ahead of agent security, and the controls that matter most when something fails — scoped identity and isolation — are the ones enterprises have built least. The agent security gap is not a coverage problem that a provider guardrail will close on its own; it is a problem of identity, isolation, and enforcement built for autonomous software. The open question for later waves is whether enterprises close it deliberately — or whether a confirmed incident closes it for them.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 107 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single June 2026 wave. This is a directional read, not a precise measurement — the sample is self-selected and skews mid-market, so it's best read as the view from organizations actively standing up agent security rather than from the largest operators.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Across 107 enterprises, AI infrastructure spending is accelerating well ahead of the ability to see or steer its economics. Most organizations run their AI on a familiar base of hyperscalers and model-provider APIs, yet the next dollar is aimed at specialized compute almost none of them use today; a majority intend to switch or add providers within the year, many within a quarter. Buying decisions turn on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline token price — which is fortunate, because most enterprises cannot yet see their unit economics clearly: GPUs sit at half utilization or less, and fewer than half rigorously track what their compute actually costs. The result is a compute gap — heavy, fast-moving investment running ahead of the visibility needed to control it.</p><p>This wave of VentureBeat Pulse Research examines enterprise AI infrastructure and compute: where organizations are in their deployment journey, what they run AI on today, how satisfied they are, what would make them switch, where they plan to evaluate their investments, and — most revealingly — how well they can measure and control the economics of the compute underneath it all.</p><p>The central finding is a compute gap — the distance between how aggressively enterprises are investing in AI infrastructure and how little of its economics they can see. Only about one in five (21%) run AI in production at scale, yet spending intentions are outrunning that maturity: the single largest planned area enterprises plan to evaluate over the next year is AI-specialized clouds (45%), a layer almost none of these enterprises use today. Meanwhile the compute already in place runs cold — 83% report GPU utilization of 50% or less — and fewer than half (44%) can rigorously track what their AI compute costs. Enterprises are buying more infrastructure faster than they can account for what they already own.</p><p>Enterprises are not settled on their infrastructure vendors, either: A clear majority (64%) plan to switch or add an infrastructure provider within twelve months, and 38% within the next quarter — unusually high churn intent for a category this foundational. When they choose, they choose on integration with the existing stack (41%) and total cost of ownership (35%), not on headline price: cost per million tokens is the deciding factor for just 8%. And the frontier constraint that will shape the next round of decisions — the shift from GPU compute to memory bandwidth as inference scales — is barely on the radar, with roughly one in five enterprises either unaware of it or yet to address it.</p><h2>Methodology</h2><p>VentureBeat fielded this survey as part of its ongoing Pulse Research series, this survey focused on enterprise AI infrastructure, compute, and inference economics. Responses are filtered to organizations with more than 100 employees (n=107; the survey’s smallest size band, 1–100 employees, is excluded), drawn from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the report reads cross-sectionally and does not infer month-over-month trends. Several questions were multiple-select, so those shares can sum to more than 100%.</p><p>By organization size the sample concentrates in the mid-market: 101–250 employees (36%) and 251–1,000 (27%) lead, with 1,001–5,000 (22%), 5,001–10,000 (8%), and 10,001+ (7%) above them. By role it spans managers (38%), individual contributors (28%), VPs and directors (19%), and the C-suite (13%); on purchasing authority it is buyer-credible, with 45% final decision-makers and another 30% recommenders or influencers for AI solutions. Technology/Software is the largest industry at 26%, followed by Healthcare/Life Sciences (15%), Financial Services (13%), and Retail/E-commerce (12%).</p><p>At 107 respondents the sample is large enough to read directionally but should be treated as a directional signal rather than a precise measurement; it is self-selected and is not a probability sample. It also skews toward the mid-market and toward earlier-stage adopters, so it is best read as the view from organizations actively building out AI infrastructure rather than from the largest hyperscale operators.</p><h2>Finding 1: Ambition outpaces production</h2><p><b>Only one in five run AI in production at scale</b></p><p>We asked where organizations sit in their AI deployment journey. Most are still building toward production rather than operating at scale.</p><div></div><p>The maturity curve is front-loaded. Three-quarters of enterprises (76%) are either experimenting or running only some workloads in production, and just 21% describe AI in production at scale. This matters for everything that follows: the infrastructure decisions in this report are being made largely by organizations still early in deployment, whose compute footprint — and whose costs — are about to grow. The evaluation and switching intentions in Findings 3 and 4 are the leading edge of that build-out, not the settled preferences of operators who have already found what works.</p><h2>Finding 2: Enterprises run on hyperscalers and model APIs</h2><p><b>The specialized GPU clouds barely register — today</b></p><p>We asked which providers and platforms enterprises currently use to run their AI. The answer is a familiar one: the incumbents.</p><div></div><p>The current stack is hyperscaler-and-API. Google Cloud leads at 48%, and the general-purpose clouds (Google, Microsoft, AWS, Oracle) together with the major model APIs (Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic) account for essentially all current deployment. The specialized “neocloud” GPU providers that dominate AI-infrastructure headlines — CoreWeave, Lambda, Crusoe, Nebius and peers — register at or near zero among these enterprises today. Only 6% run their own on-prem GPU clusters and 4% a custom open-source stack. Enterprises are, for now, running AI on the providers they already buy from — which makes the evaluation intentions in Finding 3 all the more striking.</p><p><i>(A note on reading these shares. As described in the methodology section, this sample is self-selected and skews mid-market, and this question counted every provider a respondent uses — an average of 2.1 selections each — so the figures measure presence in the stack rather than spending or primary status. A sample built this way will show a different provider mix than a spend-weighted census of the broader market; Google's strength here, for example, is consistent with its long-standing position among smaller enterprises building on AI. Read these shares as a portrait of what this AI-active cohort runs today, and treat gaps between these figures and industry-wide market share estimates as a property of the sample rather than a contradiction of either.)</i></p><h2>Finding 3: The next dollar goes to infrastructure they don’t yet run</h2><p><b>AI-specialized clouds top the evaluations list</b></p><p>We asked where enterprises planned to evaluate AI infrastructure over the next 12 months. Their answers point away from the stack they run today.</p><div></div><p>Here is the report’s sharpest tension. The single most-cited planned evaluation area — AI-specialized clouds, at 45% — is the very category almost none of these enterprises use today (Finding 2). Nearly a third (32%) intend to evaluate non-Nvidia accelerators, and 28% in next-generation Nvidia silicon; even decentralized compute networks (16%) and sovereign compute (11%) draw meaningful interest. Read against current usage, this is not incremental — it is the leading edge of a re-platforming. The direction-of-travel question tells the same story: every infrastructure approach is net-expanding, but specialized AI clouds carry the highest net momentum (+24), edging out even the hyperscalers (+22). Enterprises are preparing to move a meaningful share of AI compute off the general-purpose cloud.</p><p>This continues a trend we saw in our April-May survey wave. Back then, usage of the AI-specialized clouds was equally marginal — CoreWeave at 3%, Lambda at 4%, Crusoe at 2% of enterprises. When we asked enterprises what change they planned in their AI infrastructure strategy over the next twelve months, the most-cited answer was moving workloads to specialized AI clouds, at 33%. Asked in April-May which emerging compute option they were most likely to evaluate AI-specialized clouds again drew the most responses. Two waves, two differently worded questions, one consistent picture: the type of cloud enterprises are most eager to assess is the type they have barely begun to use.</p><h2>Finding 4: A switching wave is building</h2><p><b>Six in 10 plan to change providers within a year — many within a quarter</b></p><p>We asked whether and when enterprises plan to switch or add an infrastructure provider. Very few intend to stand still.</p><div></div><p>For a category as foundational as compute, this is a remarkable amount of intended movement. Only 36% have no plans to change, meaning a clear majority (64%) intend to switch or add a provider within twelve months — and 38% within the next quarter alone. Where that interest points is telling: the providers drawing the most switching consideration are again the incumbents — Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud (33% each), OpenAI (30%), and Gemini (22%) — which suggests much of the near-term movement is reshuffling among the majors and consolidating spend rather than defecting to new entrants. The neocloud interest in Finding 3 is a 12-month evaluation thesis; the switching in the next quarter is mostly incumbents trading share.</p><p>(<i>Method note: Respondents who selected both "no plans to change" and a specific switching window are counted as switchers, on the logic that naming a timeframe is the more specific answer; three respondents were reclassified under this rule.</i>)</p><h2>Finding 5: Nobody buys on token price</h2><p><b>Integration and total cost of ownership decide — not sticker price</b></p><p>We asked what matters most when enterprises select an AI infrastructure provider. Headline price finished last.</p><div></div><p>Enterprises do not buy AI infrastructure on pricing, which is the place vendors compete on hardest. Integration with the existing stack (41%) and total cost of ownership (35%) dominate, while the headline metric — cost per million tokens — is the deciding factor for just 8%, dead last. The pattern is coherent: buyers are optimizing for how a provider fits and what it truly costs to operate, not for the advertised unit rate. It also foreshadows Finding 7 — enterprises say TCO matters most, yet most cannot yet measure it rigorously. The stated priority and the measured capability are out of step.</p><h2>Finding 6: Expensive GPUs, idle most of the time</h2><p><b>83% report GPU utilization of 50% or less</b></p><p>We asked what share of their GPU capacity enterprises actually utilize. The answer is a well-known but rarely quantified inefficiency.</p><div></div><p><i>Disclosure: Band percentages count every selection against all 107 qualified respondents; 14 respondents selected more than one band, so bands overlap. At the respondent level, 83 of the 100 GPU-operating enterprises reported utilization at or below 50%</i></p><p>The compute already in place runs cold. Adding the bands at or below half capacity, 83% of enterprises that operate GPUs report utilization of 50% or less, and nearly half (49%) run at 25% or below. Only 12% clear the 50% mark, and a further 8% do not measure utilization at all. Idle accelerators are expensive accelerators, and this is the clearest single measure of the compute gap: enterprises are planning to buy more GPUs and specialized compute (Finding 3) while the capacity they already own sits substantially unused. The efficiency headroom in the current fleet is large — and largely unmeasured.</p><h2>Finding 7: Spending fast, measuring slowly</h2><p><b>Fewer than half rigorously track what their compute costs</b></p><p>We asked whether enterprises can quantify the cost and return of their AI infrastructure spend, and how satisfied they are with what they run. Confidence in the ledger lags the spending.</p><div></div><p>Measurement trails money. Fewer than half of enterprises (44%) rigorously track the cost and return of their AI compute; the majority track only partially (39%), cannot quantify it yet (20%), or have not prioritized it (6%). That gap is consequential given Finding 5, where total cost of ownership was the second-ranked buying criterion — enterprises are choosing providers on an economic basis they mostly cannot yet measure. Satisfaction with current infrastructure is moderately positive but not enthusiastic: on a five-point scale, overall satisfaction averages 4.0, with ease of implementation (3.8) and value for money (3.9) trailing slightly — the softness landing, tellingly, on cost. Enterprises are spending quickly and accounting slowly.</p><h2>Finding 8: The next bottleneck few are watching</h2><p><b>As inference shifts from compute to memory, the field scatters</b></p><p>Finally, we asked how enterprises would address the emerging constraint in large-scale inference — the shift from GPU compute to memory, specifically KV-cache capacity. The responses reveal a frontier that is not yet a priority.</p><div></div><p>The memory frontier is real but barely governed. Asked which approach they would rely on as the binding constraint in inference shifts from compute to memory bandwidth, enterprises scatter: Dell leads at 31%, Nvidia follows at 16%, and the rest fragments across storage vendors, open-source tooling, and model-level efficiency techniques. Most telling is that roughly one in five (18%) either do not recognize the constraint or have not begun to address it. For a shift that will reshape inference cost and architecture, this is an early and unsettled market — and, consistent with the measurement gap in Finding 7, one where many enterprises simply do not yet have a view. It is the next chapter of the compute gap, arriving before most have closed the current one.</p><h2>The bottom line: A compute gap that faster spending will widen, not close</h2><p>Organizations with more than 100 employees are investing in AI infrastructure faster than they can measure it. Most are still early in deployment, yet their spending intentions point past their current stack — toward specialized clouds and alternative accelerators almost none of them run today — and a clear majority intend to change providers within the year. They buy on integration and total cost of ownership rather than headline price, which is rational; the difficulty is that most cannot yet see those economics clearly.</p><p>The visibility gap is concrete. The GPUs enterprises already own run at half utilization or less for the overwhelming majority, and fewer than half can rigorously track what their compute costs or returns. Satisfaction is decent but unenthusiastic, softest on value for money — the dimension hardest to judge without measurement. And the next constraint, the shift from compute to memory in large-scale inference, is arriving while most enterprises are still unaware of it. At 107 respondents in a single Q2 wave this is a directional read, skewed toward the mid-market and earlier-stage adopters — but the direction is consistent: the appetite to spend is running well ahead of the instrumentation to spend well. The compute gap is not a capacity problem that more hardware will solve on its own; it is, first, a problem of seeing what the hardware already costs. The open question for later waves is whether enterprises build that visibility before the re-platforming arrives — or buy the next layer of infrastructure as blind to its economics as the last.</p><hr><p><i>Based on survey responses from 107 qualified enterprise respondents (100+ employees), drawn from a single Q2 2026 (June) wave. Because this is one wave rather than a pooled multi-month sample, the results read cross-sectionally rather than as a month-over-month trend, and at 107 respondents this is a directional signal rather than a precise measurement — the sample is self-selected, skews mid-market, and leans toward earlier-stage adopters rather than the largest hyperscale operators. Respondents include managers, individual contributors, VPs/directors, and the C-suite, with buyer-credible purchasing authority, across Technology/Software, Healthcare/Life Sciences, Financial Services, Retail/E-commerce, and other industries.</i></p>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Scientific American reports that the 2026 Fields Medals went to four mathematicians for work ranging from the theory of knots to the motion of fluid: The Fields Medals went to Hong Wang of New York University and France's Institute of Advanced Scientific Studies (IHES), Yu Deng of the University of Chicago, John Pardon of Stony Brook University and Jacob Tsimerman of the University of Toronto. In the awards' 90-year history, Wang is only the third woman to win one, after mathematicians Maryam Mirzakhani and Maryna Viazovska in 2014 and 2022, respectively. Wang and Deng represent the prizes' only Chinese-born recipients besides mathematician Shing-Tung Yau, who won a Fields Medal in 1982. 
Hong Wang co-proved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture, establishing a fundamental limit on how little space is needed to rotate a line through every possible direction. Mathematician Nets Katz called it the field's "holy grail" problem and said the achievement made her "a central figure" in the area.
 
Yu Deng and his collaborators reconciled the microscopic and macroscopic mathematics of fluid motion, proving that equations describing chaotic molecular interactions and large-scale fluid behavior are fundamentally connected. N.Y.U. mathematician Scott Armstrong called it "a truly spectacular, singular result."
 
John Pardon made an early breakthrough in knot theory by proving that certain sequences of knots can have arbitrarily large "distortion," a measure of how difficult they are to traverse. Princeton mathematician David Gabai said the problem had "attracted much interest among mathematicians during the previous 25 years."
 
Jacob Tsimerman and two collaborators proved the Andre-Oort conjecture, giving mathematicians a stronger way to understand special points on complex geometric objects known as Shimura varieties. Collaborator Jonathan Pila described him as "a brilliant mathematician" known for his "brilliance and resourcefulness." Tsimerman has also advanced Hodge theory and hopes pure mathematics can help researchers better understand AI.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google CEO Sundar Pichai has sought to allay concerns over the delayed release of the Gemini 3.5 Pro large language model. He dodged questions about it in Google’s quarterly earnings call on Wednesday by focusing on the company’s next frontier AI model, Gemini 4, and plans to release subsequent LLMs at an almost monthly cadence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His comments came a day after <a href="https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/gemini-3-6-flash-3-5-flash-lite-3-5-flash-cyber/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google unveiled Gemini 3.6 Flash</a> and 3.5 Flash Cyber but offered no update on the release of Gemini 3.5 Pro, the company’s delayed flagship reasoning model that many developers had expected to arrive weeks earlier.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google introduced the Gemini 3.5 family at its annual I/O conference, promising to release the Pro model in June. That timeline has since slipped, with <a href="http://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-16/google-gemini-launch-delayed-as-tech-falls-short-of-internal-goals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg suggesting Gemini 3.5 Pro is months late</a> because the model’s coding performance is falling short of internal expectations, especially when compared to better performance by similar models from OpenAI and Anthropic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of revisiting the Gemini 3.5 Pro timeline, Pichai used the earnings call to shift the discussion toward Gemini 4, when asked about how his company planned to navigate an increasingly competitive race to release frontier AI models by to Barclays Investment Bank analyst Ross Sandler.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We are creating a baseline on top of which you will see us rapidly iterate on subsequent model releases. And so picking up pace and releasing models almost at a monthly cadence is part of our road map as we are building Gemini 4 as well,” Pichai said during the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzExSq9DU9w" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">call</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sandler’s question followed one from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co analyst <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-anmuth-9229621/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Douglas Anmuth</a>, who asked Pichai if Google was releasing frontier AI models frequently enough to keep pace with rivals OpenAI and Anthropic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pichai had responded to Anmuth’s question that Google remained confident of competing at the frontier and was investing heavily in a larger Gemini 4 base model.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Analysts, though, aren’t as confident as Pichai.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While delays to Google’s frontier model roadmap have not triggered an exodus of existing customers, either because of high switching costs or because many enterprises already running multi-model architectures, they have made CIOs evaluating AI platforms more cautious about making new commitments, said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhupendrachopra" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bhupendra Chopra</a>, chief revenue officer at IT consulting firm Kanerika.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A monthly model release cadence could prove to be a double-edged sword for enterprises and their CIOs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While a monthly release cadence could help enterprises gain faster access to improvements in model performance, cost and capabilities, it will also require CIOs to invest more heavily in testing, governance and version management to safely adopt those updates, said <a href="https://greyhoundresearch.com/svg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanchit Vir Gogia</a>, chief analyst at Greyhound Research.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Similarly, <a href="https://pareekh.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pareekh Jain</a>, principal analyst at Pareekh Consulting, said enterprises will embrace a faster release cadence only if each successive model delivers measurable improvements in performance, cost or safety, rather than simply changing version number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The challenge for CIOs, Jain said, is not just keeping up with model releases; it’s deciding whether each new version is worth the cost of validating it.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google CEO Sundar Pichai has sought to allay concerns over the delayed release of the Gemini 3.5 Pro large language model. He dodged questions about it in Google’s quarterly earnings call on Wednesday by focusing on the company’s next frontier AI model, Gemini 4, and plans to release subsequent LLMs at an almost monthly cadence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His comments came a day after <a href="https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/gemini-models/gemini-3-6-flash-3-5-flash-lite-3-5-flash-cyber/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Google unveiled Gemini 3.6 Flash</a> and 3.5 Flash Cyber but offered no update on the release of Gemini 3.5 Pro, the company’s delayed flagship reasoning model that many developers had expected to arrive weeks earlier.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google introduced the Gemini 3.5 family at its annual I/O conference, promising to release the Pro model in June. That timeline has since slipped, with <a href="http://bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-07-16/google-gemini-launch-delayed-as-tech-falls-short-of-internal-goals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg suggesting Gemini 3.5 Pro is months late</a> because the model’s coding performance is falling short of internal expectations, especially when compared to better performance by similar models from OpenAI and Anthropic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Instead of revisiting the Gemini 3.5 Pro timeline, Pichai used the earnings call to shift the discussion toward Gemini 4, when asked about how his company planned to navigate an increasingly competitive race to release frontier AI models by to Barclays Investment Bank analyst Ross Sandler.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We are creating a baseline on top of which you will see us rapidly iterate on subsequent model releases. And so picking up pace and releasing models almost at a monthly cadence is part of our road map as we are building Gemini 4 as well,” Pichai said during the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzExSq9DU9w" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">call</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sandler’s question followed one from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co analyst <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglas-anmuth-9229621/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Douglas Anmuth</a>, who asked Pichai if Google was releasing frontier AI models frequently enough to keep pace with rivals OpenAI and Anthropic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pichai had responded to Anmuth’s question that Google remained confident of competing at the frontier and was investing heavily in a larger Gemini 4 base model.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Analysts, though, aren’t as confident as Pichai.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While delays to Google’s frontier model roadmap have not triggered an exodus of existing customers, either because of high switching costs or because many enterprises already running multi-model architectures, they have made CIOs evaluating AI platforms more cautious about making new commitments, said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bhupendrachopra" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bhupendra Chopra</a>, chief revenue officer at IT consulting firm Kanerika.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A monthly model release cadence could prove to be a double-edged sword for enterprises and their CIOs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While a monthly release cadence could help enterprises gain faster access to improvements in model performance, cost and capabilities, it will also require CIOs to invest more heavily in testing, governance and version management to safely adopt those updates, said <a href="https://greyhoundresearch.com/svg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanchit Vir Gogia</a>, chief analyst at Greyhound Research.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Similarly, <a href="https://pareekh.com/about/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pareekh Jain</a>, principal analyst at Pareekh Consulting, said enterprises will embrace a faster release cadence only if each successive model delivers measurable improvements in performance, cost or safety, rather than simply changing version number.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The challenge for CIOs, Jain said, is not just keeping up with model releases; it’s deciding whether each new version is worth the cost of validating it.</p>

<h2><strong>Executive summary</strong> </h2>
<p>A group of Russian state-supported cyber actors has been targeting and compromising various Western government and commercial organizations using the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) software since at least July 2025. The Russian state-supported advanced persistent threat (APT) group’s activity is tracked in the cybersecurity community under several names (see <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#cyber1">Cybersecurity industry tracking</a>), primarily as “LAUNDRY BEAR,” a name initially coined by the Netherlands General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) and Defence Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD) [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc1">1</a>].</p>
<p>LAUNDRY BEAR’s targeting is almost certainly to gather sensitive information for the Russian Federation, with these actors primarily focusing on the covert acquisition of email data. Previous campaigns indicated LAUNDRY BEAR relied on unsophisticated initial access techniques—including password spraying, phishing, and pass-the-cookie—allowing the group to successfully run high-volume operations. The latest campaign targeting ZCS uses a novel exploit that was a zero-day vulnerability when first exploited and continues to be successfully exploited. The vulnerability, Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a>, was patched in November 2025. This demonstrates LAUNDRY BEAR’s intent and ability to deploy increasingly sophisticated technical capabilities.</p>
<p>Unlike traditional phishing campaigns that persuade a user into taking an action, such as clicking a link or opening a file, LAUNDRY BEAR’s latest campaign leverages a view-based exploit that only requires a user to view a malicious email within a vulnerable version of the webmail service. Once viewed, the exploit attempts to exfiltrate the victim’s last 90 days of email communications, the organization email directory (i.e., Global Address List [GAL]), and other sensitive information to servers controlled by LAUNDRY BEAR. The exploit also attempts to establish persistent access to victim accounts through a variety of means as detailed in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#persistence1">Persistence and credential access</a> section.</p>
<p>This Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA) warns of this ongoing malicious threat activity and urges organizations to update their vulnerable software and implement additional mitigations to thwart these Russian state-supported actors’ continued success. The CSA is being released by the following authoring and co-sealing agencies:</p>

<p>The authoring agencies urge any organizations using ZCS to implement the recommendations listed within the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#mitigations1">Mitigations</a> section of this advisory to reduce the risk associated with this activity. This CSA also includes specific remediations for organizations to implement if they discover the presence of the listed <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#ioc1">Indicators of compromise</a> (IOCs).  </p>
<p>As more organizations update their ZCS software based on this CSA, LAUNDRY BEAR may discontinue the current campaign exploiting this vulnerability; however, based on the success of this and previous campaigns, it is very likely that the group will continue to target ZCS and other email systems used by organizations in Western countries. The actors will almost certainly continue to rely on email to engage potential victims by exploiting novel vulnerabilities and, when necessary, use social engineering techniques to assist with their efforts. The authoring agencies recommend organizations regularly update their mail service software and continuously monitor their email systems and emails for malicious activity.</p>

<h2><strong>Cybersecurity industry tracking</strong><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h2>
<p>The cybersecurity industry provides overlapping cyber threat intelligence, indicators of compromise (IOCs), and mitigation recommendations related to these Russian state-supported cyber actors. While not exhaustive, the following are threat group names commonly used for these actors within the cybersecurity community:</p>
<ul>
<li>LAUNDRY BEAR</li>
<li>Void Blizzard [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc2">2</a>]</li>
<li>CL-STA-1114 [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc3">3</a>]</li>
<li>TA488 (formerly UNK_PitStop) [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc4">4</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Cybersecurity companies have different methods of tracking and attributing cyber actors, and this may not be a 1:1 correlation to the U.S. government’s understanding for all activity related to these groupings.</p>
<h2><strong>Background</strong></h2>
<p>Public advisories from Netherlands General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), Netherlands Defence Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD), and Microsoft highlighted these Russian state-supported advanced persistent threat (APT) actors in May 2025, calling them LAUNDRY BEAR and Void Blizzard respectively [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc1">1</a>] [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc2">2</a>]. Both advisories assessed that the group was engaged in malicious cyber activity as early as April 2024.  </p>
<p>The May 2025 advisories highlighted a cluster of activity targeting cloud-based email environments, including Microsoft Exchange in particular, and abusing legitimate APIs to perform data exfiltration in bulk [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1114/002/" target="_blank">T1114.002</a>]. The group relied on unsophisticated means of initial access, including procuring stolen credentials on criminal marketplaces [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1078/" target="_blank">T1078</a>], and using social engineering techniques to lure targets into interacting with a malicious site masquerading as a legitimate one. As of April 2025, one of these sites resembled a European Defence &amp; Security Summit registration portal that required registrants to sign in to their Microsoft account to view. Once a user entered their Microsoft credentials into this malicious site, LAUNDRY BEAR’s modified version of the open source adversary emulation toolkit, Evilginx, intercepted the user’s credentials. LAUNDRY BEAR then used this authentication data, including passwords and session tokens, to access the compromised account and conduct mass email exfiltration, as well as harvest other information. This method of compromise is commonly known as an adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) technique [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1557/" target="_blank">T1557</a>].  </p>
<p>Beginning around July 2025, LAUNDRY BEAR shifted toward a more technical method of email compromise, highlighting their continued efforts to covertly acquire email communications from a variety of Western organizations of interest and deliver them to the Russian Federation. Using a custom-developed capability [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1587/001/" target="_blank">T1587.001</a>] named “<em>Улей</em>” or “<em>Ulej</em>” (Russian for beehive), LAUNDRY BEAR successfully targeted and exfiltrated sensitive user information from organizations who use the Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) product [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1114/" target="_blank">T1114</a>]. Data LAUNDRY BEAR attempted to exfiltrate from compromised accounts included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Last 90 days of emails,</li>
<li>Email address,</li>
<li>Password [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1589/001/" target="_blank">T1589.001</a>],</li>
<li>Global Address List (GAL) [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1087/" target="_blank">T1087</a>],</li>
<li>Two-factor authentication (2FA) tokens, and</li>
<li>Newly-created Application Passcode [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1098/" target="_blank">T1098</a>].</li>
</ul>
<p>The covert and persistent nature of this activity, along with the absence of any known financial extortion, almost certainly indicates this group’s involvement in espionage activities with Russian government backing. Additionally, extensive Ukrainian targeting, prior to use against U.S. and other NATO allies, outlines an increasing trend within Russian cyber threat groups to target Ukrainian users first—both as a priority target and as a testbench for malicious cyber techniques before broader global deployment.</p>
<h2><strong>Targeting details</strong></h2>
<p>LAUNDRY BEAR has targeted and compromised users in various organizations, including those associated with:</p>
<ul>
<li>the Defense Industrial Base (DIB),  </li>
<li>the federal and local government,</li>
<li>education,</li>
<li>energy,</li>
<li>law enforcement,  </li>
<li>media,  </li>
<li>non-governmental organizations, and</li>
<li>technology.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Technical details</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This advisory uses the <a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/matrices/enterprise/" target="_blank">MITRE ATT&amp;CK® Matrix for Enterprise</a> framework, version 19. This advisory also uses <a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/" target="_blank">MITRE D3FEND<sup>TM</sup></a> version 1.4.0<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#f15"><sup>15</sup></a>. See <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#appendixa">Appendix A</a> and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#appendixb">Appendix B</a> for tables of the activity mapped to MITRE ATT&amp;CK and D3FEND tactics, techniques, and countermeasures.</p>
<p><em>Ulej </em>is a novel data exfiltration and aggregation capability, that currently (as of the publication of this report) supports a campaign specifically targeting users of ZCS webmail servers. This capability is used to exploit <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a> [Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) <a href="https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/79.html" target="_blank">CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'</a>)], but likely could be adapted to exploit other vulnerabilities. It exfiltrates emails and other sensitive user data from a victim’s system immediately after exploitation and stores the data in an actor-controlled unattributable virtual private server (VPS) [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1074/002/" target="_blank">T1074.002</a>] running LAUNDRY BEAR’s “Flowerbed” collection framework. The collected data is almost certainly further exfiltrated to internal network resources for review and long-term retention.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Reconnaissance</strong></em></h3>
<p>LAUNDRY BEAR uses the <em>Ulej </em>capability to exploit the <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a> vulnerability in organizations using ZCS. This campaign’s targeted victimology and limited exploitation capabilities likely indicate this group manually identifies and targets the victim organizations. LAUNDRY BEAR likely identifies organizations with public-facing Zimbra infrastructure by port scanning [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1595/" target="_blank">T1595</a>] and fingerprinting datasets easily procured through various commercial vendors [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1596/005/" target="_blank">T1596.005</a>].  </p>
<p>After identifying a target organization, the group likely compiles email addresses for individual users to target with the exploit [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1589/002/" target="_blank">T1589.002</a>] from datasets offered by commercial vendors [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1597/002/" target="_blank">T1597.002</a>], open source intelligence [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1593/" target="_blank">T1593</a>], or previously exfiltrated data [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1597/" target="_blank">T1597</a>].  </p>
<h3><em><strong>Resource development </strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>The actors procure VPSs from a variety of providers [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1583/003/" target="_blank">T1583.003</a>], including those with Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements, and often use fabricated identities. LAUNDRY BEAR primarily uses Mullvad VPN [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1583/">T1583</a>] when interacting with these servers, further demonstrating the group’s intent to mask their identity and maintain operations security (OPSEC). After the server is provisioned, an automated process deploys the Docker containers necessary for <em>Ulej’s</em> Flowerbed framework [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1608/">T1608</a>], which then receives and aggregates the data <em>Ulej</em> exfiltrates. These servers are typically only used for 7-60 days before moving to new infrastructure.</p>
<h4><strong>Flowerbed framework</strong></h4>
<p>Flowerbed is a Python project that uses Docker for containerization. The project includes four different Docker containers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Catcher,</li>
<li>Certbot,</li>
<li>Nginx, and</li>
<li>Gardener.</li>
</ul>
<p>Catcher acts as both a DNS and HTTP server to receive and aggregate exfiltrated victim information [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1048/">T1048</a>]. For additional information on Catcher, refer to the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section of this advisory. Flowerbed’s next container, Certbot, is based on one of the official Certbot containers, which allows for automated generation of Let’s Encrypt certificates using DNS challenges through Cloudflare. This certificate can then be used by the Nginx container, which serves as an HTTPS reverse proxy for Catcher, enabling Flowerbed to disguise some of its exfiltration activity through an encrypted communications channel [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1048/002/" target="_blank">T1048.002</a>]. The Nginx reverse proxy also validates that the Server Name Indicator (SNI) value contains “*.i.*” prior to forwarding the traffic to Catcher. If the SNI does not contain that string, the Nginx server returns a 444 error to the client. This is likely an attempt to reject non-Ulej connections. Finally, the Gardener container functions as a health check for the Catcher service. Gardener is a simple Python script that validates Catcher correctly receives and processes data.</p>
<p>The simplistic Flowerbed codebase has indications that artificial intelligence (AI) played a role in its development. This highlights how AI is increasingly being used to develop malicious capabilities [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1588/007/" target="_blank">T1588.007</a>]. The dependence on AI for a simple capability, such as Flowerbed, alongside a previous reliance on open source capabilities, such as Evilginx2 [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1588/002/" target="_blank">T1588.002</a>], likely indicates a lack of advanced technical knowledge within LAUNDRY BEAR, especially in relation to true software development capabilities.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Initial access</strong></em></h3>
<p>To gain initial access, LAUNDRY BEAR sends an email containing a malicious JavaScript payload to the target [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1566/" target="_blank">T1566</a>]. Through exploitation of <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a>, this JavaScript payload is immediately executed once the user views the malicious email [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1203/" target="_blank">T1203</a>], such as the one shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure1"><strong>Figure 1</strong></a>, in the ZCS webmail platform. Since at least November 2025, LAUNDRY BEAR began sending these phishing emails from victim infrastructure through compromised accounts [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1199/" target="_blank">T1199</a>], as shown in the email metadata in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure2"><strong>Figure 2</strong></a>. These compromised accounts were likely previous victims of this, or another LAUNDRY BEAR, campaign and their use is intended to further obfuscate and frustrate anti-phishing tools and training.</p>

<p>According to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), <a href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a> was initially published on 5 January 2026. This vulnerability allows for execution of a JavaScript payload included in email content due to improper sanitization of Cascading Style Sheet’s (CSS) @import directives within an email [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#wc5">5</a>]. Because the activity attributed to this campaign began in July 2025—months before Synacor released a patch and the CVE was published—the payload initially exploited a zero-day vulnerability at that time [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1587/004/" target="_blank">T1587.004</a>].  </p>
<p><strong>Utilization of a zero-day exploit within this campaign demonstrates the ability for even emerging threat groups like LAUNDRY BEAR to operationalize novel exploits into a highly successful capability.</strong></p>
<p>Hidden in LAUNDRY BEAR’s email is a Base64 encoded payload within the “onload” field of a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) element [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1027/017/" target="_blank">T1027.017</a>], as shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure3"><strong>Figure 3</strong></a>. Leading up to the inclusion of this payload in the SVG element are various instances of @import directives, as required to leverage <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376">CVE-2025-66376</a>. This payload includes an XOR encrypted final script encoded in a Base64 inner payload (see <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure3"><strong>Figure 3</strong></a>) [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1027/013/" target="_blank">T1027.013</a>]. The outer payload decodes and decrypts the inner payload using an XOR function and a hardcoded key and then executes the script contained within the inner payload containing the collection and exfiltration logic. By changing the key used for the XOR encryption of the inner payload or adding additional @import directives with non-functional code [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1027/010/" target="_blank">T1027.010</a>], LAUNDRY BEAR can easily generate new payloads that bypass basic threat detection signatures. This malicious payload attempts to collect and exfiltrate information in 12 asynchronous stages [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1119/">T1119</a>]. The stages in order of appearance within the payload are as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>sendStartPing,</li>
<li>gather_email,</li>
<li>gather_environment,</li>
<li>gather_2fa_codes,</li>
<li>gather_app_password,</li>
<li>gather_device_status,</li>
<li>gather_oauth_consumers,</li>
<li>gather_autocomplete_password,</li>
<li>enable_mail_protocols,</li>
<li>gather_gal,</li>
<li>sendArchives, and</li>
<li>sendFinishPing. </li>
</ol>

<p>Use of a zero-day exploit within this campaign demonstrates the ability for even emerging threat groups like LAUNDRY BEAR to operationalize novel exploits into a highly successful capability [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1587/" target="_blank">T1587</a>].</p>
<h3><em><strong>Persistence and credential access</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>To establish sustained persistence into the victim’s email account, the script attempts to modify account preferences and collect authentication information. Any collected credentials are later exfiltrated, as further described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section below. Other campaigns attributed to LAUNDRY BEAR also demonstrated the group’s ability to circumvent multi-factor authentication through session token replay [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1550/004/" target="_blank">T1550.004</a>], and the Zimbra campaign follows a similar trend.</p>
<p>The script used in this campaign tries to discover the victim’s email address during the <em>gather_email</em> stage [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1087/" target="_blank">T1087</a>]. The script searches for this email address in two ways. First, it examines the <em>batchInfoResponse </em>variable, which an HTML script element on the webpage can define, for an email address. Even if the script finds an email address there, it also checks whether it acquired a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token as described later in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#collection1">Collection</a> section of this advisory. If so, the script uses the “GetIdentitiesRequest” Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) command under the “ZimbraAccount” namespace to determine the victim’s email address [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1185/" target="_blank">T1185</a>] and then exfiltrates it. However, if the script does not have a CSRF token or the SOAP request fails, the script exfiltrates the email value recovered from the first method instead. If both attempts fail to capture the victim’s email, the script sends a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) payload with a key of “email” and value of <em>null </em>over HTTPS and does not attempt DNS exfiltration.</p>
<p>During the <em>gather_autocomplete_password</em> stage, the script attempts to collect the victim’s saved password via the autocomplete feature of the victim’s password manager. The script injects two HTML div elements requesting login credentials onto the page outside of the victim’s view, as shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure4"><strong>Figure 4</strong></a><strong> </strong>and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure5"><strong>Figure 5</strong></a>. After waiting five seconds, the script then attempts to extract the password provided automatically by the password manager from the input element shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure4"><strong>Figure 4</strong></a>. If there is no value in that input field, it checks the password input field shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure5"><strong>Figure 5</strong></a>. If neither input field contains a value, a JSON payload with a key of “autocomplete_password” and value of <em>null </em>is sent over HTTPS and DNS exfiltration is not attempted.</p>

<p>LAUNDRY BEAR almost certainly relies on a mail client using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) for persistent access to the victim’s mailbox. During the <em>enable_mail_protocols</em> stage, a SOAP request leveraging the “ModifyPrefsRequest” command under the “ZimbraAccount” namespace is sent. This request attempts to set the “zimbraPrefImapEnabled” preference to TRUE. While the default setting for “zimbraPrefImapEnabled” is not well documented, this action is almost certainly intended to ensure that IMAP access to the victim’s mailbox is enabled.</p>
<p>ZCS does not support 2FA for some mail clients, including IMAP. To support users who rely on IMAP clients, ZCS allows for the generation of Application Passcodes. Application Passcodes are randomly generated passwords that can be used for clients that cannot support the normal 2FA process to authenticate. During the <em>gather_app_password</em> stage, the script makes a SOAP request using the “CreateAppSpecificPasswordRequest” command under the “ZimbraAccount” namespace to create a new Application Passcode [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1556/006/" target="_blank">T1556.006</a>]. The SOAP request uses “ZimbraWeb” as the name of the application.</p>
<p>Additionally, the script also attempts to collect 2FA tokens. During the <em>gather_2fa_codes</em> stage, the script makes a SOAP request using the “GetScratchCodesRequest” command under the “ZimbraAccount” namespace. The script then attempts to exfiltrate any non-null 2FA codes collected this way. The number of codes can vary, and each code is exfiltrated to Flowerbed individually.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Collection</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>As demonstrated in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#persistence1">Persistence and credential access</a> section, this script relies heavily on SOAP requests to collect victim information. To make these requests, the script aims to acquire the victim’s current CSRF token, which it attempts to access within the webpage’s local storage using localStorage.getItem("csrfToken"). If the script is unable to acquire this CSRF token, it will be unable to make any SOAP requests. In addition to the SOAP commands documented in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#persistence1">Persistence and credential access</a> section, other SOAP commands executed to collect victim information are shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table1"><strong>Table 1</strong></a>.</p>

<p>The script attempts to collect the victim’s GAL through brute force by searching for each two-character combination from a character set of “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890.-_”. These queries are conducted using 20 batches of SOAP requests with 77 “SearchGalRequest” SOAP commands in each batch except for the last request containing only 58.</p>
<p>During the <em>gather_environment</em> stage, the script attempts to determine which type of ZCS webmail client the victim is using. The script checks the user’s current URL to determine the client type being used, checking for certain indicators (shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table2"><strong>Table 2</strong></a>) to determine the client type. The corresponding value is then used as the payload when exfiltrating the client type.</p>

<p>As part of collection, the script attempts to harvest any emails not marked as “junk” from the last 90 days from the victim’s account. Emails are collected daily by an HTTP GET request to the URL path, “/home/~/?fmt=tgz&amp;meta=0&amp;query=date:-{DAY_OFFSET}d AND (not in:junk)”. The <em>{DAY_OFFSET}</em> value would be between 0 and 89 representing how many days ago the email was sent or received. To prevent redundant collection and exfiltration of emails, a variable with a name based on the email date being queried, using a format of <em>zd_comp_YYYY-MM-DD</em>, and value of <em>true</em>, is saved to the <em>window.top.localStorage</em> property. This variable is saved regardless of whether the email is successfully exfiltrated.  </p>
<p>According to Mozilla documentation, if the user is not in a private browsing session, any data stored to localStorage does not typically expire. This means that if the user happens to execute the script again from the same computer, the script avoids attempting to re-exfiltrate previously captured emails. However, the script always attempts to pull any emails with a <em>{DAY_OFFSET} </em>of zero. In other words, the script always pulls emails sent or received the same day it is run. After email results are returned from the query for each day of email activity, those results are then passed to Flowerbed as described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section.</p>
<p>The script also provides LAUNDRY BEAR with telemetry on any errors that occur during the collection process. This is accomplished by executing any collection or exfiltration code through helper functions that contain error handling logic. If an error occurs, a payload containing information on the error itself, the context of the error happening, and the stage in which the error occurred is sent to Flowerbed as described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section below. For cases where the error occurs within a SOAP request, “:api” is concatenated to the stage value in the payload. If an error occurs during the batch SOAP requests that occur when collecting the GAL of the victim, the stage value will use a format of <em>gather_gal:{VAL}:api</em>. The <em>{VAL}</em> placeholder indicates which batch request, a number from 0 to 19, the error occurred in. Errors that occur during the password autocomplete interception process will use “gather_autocomplete_password:dom” for the stage value. Finally, if an error occurs when attempting to collect or exfiltrate a specific day’s emails, the stage will include which day the error occurred on, using the previously defined placeholder <em>{DAY_OFFSET},</em> with a format of <em>sendArchive:day-{DAY_OFFSET}</em>.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Exfiltration</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>At the end of each stage in the collection process, the script attempts to exfiltrate acquired information to Flowerbed. The script primarily relies on two forms of data exfiltration: DNS [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1048/003/" target="_blank">T1048.003</a>] and HTTPS. Some information is exfiltrated over both the DNS and HTTPS channels.</p>
<p>Prior to exfiltration, a randomized 10- or 11-character alphanumeric string is generated as an identifier for the victim. This identifier is included in the URL of both the DNS- and HTTPS-based exfiltration.  </p>
<h4><strong>DNS exfiltration</strong></h4>
<p>DNS exfiltration occurs through DNS A record queries. To ensure data exfiltrated through DNS is not corrupted when traversing through non-actor-controlled DNS infrastructure, <em>Ulej </em>maintains compliance with RFC 1035, Domain Names - Implementation and Specification, specifically accounting for the case insensitivity and subdomain length requirements. Base32 encoding is used to create a case-insensitive payload. Once the payload is encoded, a period (“.”) is added every 60 characters to ensure each subdomain is under 63 characters long. The script then creates a new image object sourced from a URL with the scheme defined in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure6"><strong>Figure 6</strong></a>. Any traffic involving DNS exfiltration will have “d-“ prefixing the victim identifier, and the subdomain immediately following indicates the type of information being exfiltrated.</p>

<p>When the script generates an image object, the browser tries to retrieve the complete domain of the URL specified as the source of the image. This triggers a DNS request sent to the actor-controlled server and processed by Flowerbed. <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table3"><strong>Table 3</strong></a> lists both the information exfiltrated via DNS and their corresponding data type identifiers in the DNS queries.  </p>

<h4><strong>HTTPS exfiltration</strong></h4>
<p>Any information exfiltrated via DNS is also exfiltrated through HTTPS, as well as additional data including email content, contacts, attachments, and error logging information. By using Let’s Encrypt certificates, this group can quickly deploy new infrastructure and leverage encrypted HTTPS communications with valid server certificates when exfiltrating information from the victim’s environment. The HTTPS exfiltration capability only uses two HTTP content types, defined in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table4"><strong>Table 4</strong></a>. Traffic associated with HTTPS exfiltration will use the URL scheme shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure7"><strong>Figure 7</strong></a>.  </p>

<p>The script transmits all HTTPS exfiltration not identified in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table5"><strong>Table 5</strong></a> using the Octet-Stream content type as binary data. The POST requests for this method include a filename in the “X-Filename” header. Traditionally, developers use headers prefixed with “X-” to denote custom headers that do not follow a defined standard. The purpose of including this header remains unclear since the Catcher capability ignores the provided filename when saving the data. <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table6"><strong>Table 6</strong></a> summarizes the data exfiltrated in this format.</p>

<p>The script sends all exfiltrated data identified in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table6"><strong>Table 6</strong></a> to the Catcher service exactly as received from the SOAP request in a JSON payload, except for email exfiltration. For email exfiltration, the script sends it as a GZIP compressed archive [<a href="https://attack.mitre.org/versions/v19/techniques/T1560/" target="_blank">T1560</a>]. Although most of the exfiltration consists of valid JSON, the script still attempts to exfiltrate all information identified in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table6"><strong>Table 6</strong></a> using the application/octet-stream content typing rather than application/json.</p>
<p>At the beginning and end of the collection and exfiltration activity, during the <em>sendStartPing</em> and <em>sendFinishPing </em>stages respectively, the script submits a POST request with a JSON payload to indicate that the script is starting or finishing execution. Throughout execution, the script also logs error events and send the logs using similar JSON payloads. The script sends the JSON in a POST request to the URL documented in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure2"><strong>Figure 2</strong></a>, using a URL path of “/v/p” and with a “subtype” key that shows which type of action it logged (<em>start, finish, or error</em>).  </p>
<h4><strong>Catcher</strong></h4>
<p><em>Ulej </em>exfiltrates information to Flowerbed to be handled by a service named Catcher. Catcher is a containerized Python application, running in Docker as part of Flowerbed, which is detailed in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#resourcedev1">Resource development</a> section. It receives exfiltrated data and temporarily stores it, enabling its eventual transfer to infrastructure designed for long-term, secure storage.</p>
<p>Catcher acts as an HTTP server over port 8000 and a DNS server on port 53. As described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#resourcedev1">Resource development</a> section, the Flowerbed project uses an additional Docker container running an Nginx reverse proxy to enable HTTPS support. This reverse proxy uses a certificate generated by Let’s Encrypt and forwards all traffic with an SNI containing “*.i.*” to port 8000 within the Catcher container.</p>
<p>The DNS service can accept A, AAAA, MX, TXT, and CAA queries. For any MX, AAAA, or CAA queries, the server will always provide an empty response. The system only supports TXT records as needed to process Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) requests, which enable the assignment of Let’s Encrypt certificates. If the server receives an A query, Catcher will always respond with the public IP address of the Flowerbed server.  </p>
<p>However, if a query includes a domain formatted as shown in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure6"><strong>Figure 6</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure7"><strong>Figure 7</strong></a>, the service saves a log file in JSON format to disk containing the following details of the DNS query:</p>
<ul>
<li>Time of query,</li>
<li>Source IP address for query,</li>
<li>Queried domain, and</li>
<li>Type of query.</li>
</ul>
<p>The HTTP server typically responds with OK, except in cases where the path is “pixel.gif” when the response contains a 1x1 gif image with a SHA-256 hash of ef1955ae757c8b966c83248350331bd3a30f658ced11f387f8ebf05ab3368629. Like the DNS service, the HTTP service will only log entries when the domain found in the host header of the request follows the expected formatting as seen in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure6"><strong>Figure 6</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure7"><strong>Figure 7</strong></a>. As the HTTPS exfiltration uses non-standardized binary and JSON-formatted payloads when exfiltrating to Catcher, Catcher will check the content type of the request. If the content type is set to “application/json”, Catcher encodes the data in Base64 and includes it in the JSON log entry written to disk. If the content type is set to any other value, Catcher leaves the Base64 payload in the JSON log entry blank and saves the payload to a separate file with the same filename as the JSON log entry with a “.bin” file extension. An HTTPS exfiltration event causes Catcher to save a JSON formatted log file to disk containing the following information from the HTTP request:</p>
<ul>
<li>Time,</li>
<li>Source IP address,</li>
<li>Request method,</li>
<li>Host,</li>
<li>Path,</li>
<li>Query string,</li>
<li>Headers, and</li>
<li>Base64 payload.</li>
</ul>
<p>These JSON event log files and binary output files are then initially saved to the directory <em>/root/hits/tmp</em> and later moved to the <em>/root/hits/ready</em> directory once processed. This prevents incomplete files, which are still being uploaded to Catcher, from premature exfiltration from the server. Approximately every 60 seconds, a likely automated workflow establishes a Secure Shell (SSH) connection with the server hosting Flowerbed for a few seconds, almost certainly exfiltrating the data processed by Catcher to non-public-facing infrastructure. The command in <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#figure8"><strong>Figure 8</strong></a> also executes hourly to remove all files last modified at least two days ago from the <em>/root/hits/ready</em> directory.</p>

<h2><strong>Response strategies</strong></h2>
<h3><em><strong>Mitigations</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<p>In many cases, by the time an organization identifies a compromise related to this campaign, numerous sensitive and proprietary emails have already been exfiltrated. The significant risk posed by this cyber threat emphasizes the importance for organizations that use ZCS and other similar webmail solutions to take proactive steps to mitigate this risk.</p>
<p>All organizations that use the ZCS webmail service should <strong>immediately prioritize</strong> ensuring that their ZCS is not running a vulnerable version. A patch for <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a> was released for both 10.1.13 and 10.0.18 versions of ZCS [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ApplicationHardening">D3-AH</a>]. If immediate patching is not feasible, organizations should advise employees to use alternative mail clients to access email and avoid using the Classic ZCS webmail client until ZCS is updated to a non-vulnerable version [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/tactic/d3f:Isolate/" target="_blank">d3f:Isolate</a>].</p>
<p>System administrators should closely monitor any Internet-connected ZCS or other email systems and the workstations that access those systems and promptly apply available software updates [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ApplicationHardening" target="_blank">D3-AH</a>]. Administrators can maintain awareness of active vulnerability exploitation by referencing open source resources, including <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog">CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog</a> and <a href="https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/vulnerability-management/guidance/responding-to-active-exploitation" target="_blank">NCSC-UK’s Responding to active exploitation of vulnerabilities</a> guidance.</p>
<p>Organizations should consider using a third-party authentication service that supports passkeys for authentication to mediate access to ZCS and other services that do not natively support passkeys. By doing so, organizations can work to eliminate the possibility of automated password collection from autocomplete or password reuse [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:CredentialHardening" target="_blank">D3-CH</a>]. However, Application Passcodes may still be necessary and should be monitored closely.  </p>
<p>Organizations should implement network monitoring capabilities with collection and short-term retention of packet capture or NetFlow data and maintain log collection and storage [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#MaintainLogCollectionStorage3Q">CPG 3.Q</a>]. This will allow organizations to monitor for and identify suspicious network activity [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#IdentifyAdverseEvents4B">CPG 4.B</a>], such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Significant amounts of outbound data being sent to IPs associated with VPS providers not used by the organization [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:NetworkTrafficAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-NTA</a>];</li>
<li>Frequent DNS queries for a suspicious domain with seemingly random subdomains [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:DNSTrafficAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-DNSTA</a>];</li>
<li>A sudden spike of connections to a server associated with a recently established domain [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:NetworkTrafficCommunityDeviation">D3-NTCD</a>]; and  </li>
<li>Connections to internal services, such as webmail, from VPN providers frequently leveraged by this group for nefarious activity, such as Mullvad VPN [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:NetworkTrafficCommunityDeviation">D3-NTCD</a>].</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, for organizations that can inspect the content of outbound HTTPS connections via break-and-inspect infrastructure, security teams should identify traffic matching the characteristics described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#exfil1">Exfiltration</a> section of this advisory.</p>
<h3><em><strong>Indicators of compromise (IOCs)</strong></em><a class="ck-anchor"></a></h3>
<h4><strong>Flowerbed infrastructure</strong></h4>
<p>The following indicators have been attributed to use by LAUNDRY BEAR for their campaign targeting ZCS’s webmail service as of the publication of this advisory. (<strong>Disclaimer: </strong>Due to the frequency of operational structure changes by this group, these indicators are intended solely for historic attribution purposes. Some indicators, such as IPs, compromised emails, and domains, may be outdated, so organizations should check for current activity before acting on these IOCs.) <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table7"><strong>Table 7</strong></a> provides details about the server infrastructure used to host Flowerbed, and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#table8"><strong>Table 8</strong></a> lists the corresponding SHA-1 hash values for the Let’s Encrypt certificates used by that infrastructure [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:IdentifierActivityAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-IAA</a>].</p>

<p>LAUNDRY BEAR has used the following email addresses to procure resources used for this campaign:</p>
<ul>
<li>ivanka.zurabishvili@proton[.]me,</li>
<li>zmul1@buildandconsulting[.]com,</li>
<li>garrysmithme@pinmx[.]net, and</li>
<li>hostingclient@pinmx[.]net.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Phishing distribution</strong></h4>
<p>LAUNDRY BEAR primarily relied on ProtonMail for distribution of malicious email. However, as stated above, LAUNDRY BEAR’s more recent efforts likely have shifted to distributing the payload through previous victims.  </p>
<p>The following email addresses have distributed payloads attributed to this campaign:</p>
<ul>
<li>c.laurent.ejfa@proton[.]me,</li>
<li>j.moreau.epsc@proton[.]me,</li>
<li>liberty.insights@proton[.]me,</li>
<li>certain email addresses (presumably compromised) at the isofts.kiev[.]ua domain (i.e., ending with @isofts.kiev[.]ua), and</li>
<li>certain email addresses (presumably compromised) at the navs.edu[.]ua domain (i.e., ending with @navs.edu[.]ua).</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, the following are SHA-256 hashes of email samples containing the malicious payload attributed to this campaign:</p>
<ul>
<li>98df604ecc57f884a2e6ce3266a0013ad64455cac48442c2312cfa4765007aaf,</li>
<li>60db9abae75cd8ccc49dd7ea5feb41677566dcd442f12ebc5745ffd2810fb874,</li>
<li>b1f5beb1175fc5c7d1806a2f0d900eb124c54f0286c5c52b66eea7a6633adb1d, and</li>
<li>1517b3caa495f6c4e832df9c75fc94667e3c233773f7fa4e056d5e30e5ead760.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Post-compromise artifacts</strong></h4>
<p>Currently, the script does not remove artifacts. This leaves additional opportunities to identify victims of this activity. While emphasis should always be placed on consistent monitoring of network traffic and endpoint activity, there are a variety of persistent artifacts described below that can be used to identify victims of this campaign.</p>
<p>This <em>Ulej </em>capability relies on creating a significant number of SOAP requests to collect account information for exfiltration. ZCS logs from these requests are stored, by default, in the <em>/opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log</em> file [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ProcessAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-PA</a>]. A significant amount of SOAP request activity that aligns with what was described in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#persistence1">Persistence and credential access</a> and <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#collection1">Collection</a> sections of this advisory could indicate a potential compromise. Specific examples of high-risk SOAP request activity might include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Many <em>SearchGalRequest </em>command requests from a single user over a short period of time;</li>
<li>Use of the <em>CreateAppSpecificPasswordRequest</em> command, especially in cases where it is creating an Application Passcode named “ZimbraWeb”; and</li>
<li>Use of the GetScratchCodesRequest command.</li>
</ul>
<p>While LAUNDRY BEAR uses the localStorage property to track what days had emails previously exfiltrated, defenders can use this property to identify victims of this campaign and determine the scope of exfiltrated information [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:ProcessAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-PA</a>]. Review of the items stored in that property for an organization’s ZCS webmail client page on an endpoint device could indicate compromise if there are items named with a format of <em>zd_comp_YYYY-MM-DD,</em> as explained in the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#collection1">Collection</a> section of this advisory.</p>
<p>While Application Passcodes have non-malicious purposes, in this case instances of these passcodes with the name “ZimbraWeb” are almost certainly malicious. The ZCS webmail application can support 2FA natively and does not require the use of an Application Passcode, so there is no reason that there should be one named “ZimbraWeb.”</p>
<p>In instances where organizations identify victims of this campaign, they should also examine the inbox of the suspected victim for the original phishing email [<a href="https://d3fend.mitre.org/technique/d3f:MessageAnalysis" target="_blank">D3-MA</a>]. If an email that has a payload exploiting <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376">CVE-2025-66376</a> is discovered, <strong>steps should be taken immediately to identify and quarantine other instances of emails with similar body content, senders, and subject lines to prevent further exploitation and exfiltration.  </strong></p>
<h3><em><strong>Remediation</strong></em></h3>
<p>In the event an organization identifies activity associated with this campaign, that organization should take steps to minimize further exploitation. The organization should consider requesting that employees minimize use of the ZCS webmail client until the organization updates to a patched version that is not vulnerable to <a href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-66376" target="_blank">CVE-2025-66376</a>.</p>
<p>Organizations should use identifiers from the <a href="https://www.cisa.gov/#ioc1">IOCs</a> section of this report to identify any individuals compromised by this campaign and record the date(s) of compromise(s) to determine the scale and scope of emails exfiltrated.</p>
<p>All users from the organization should have all Application Passcodes and 2FA scratch keys revoked. Affected organizations should require all employees to change passwords in line with establishing minimum password strength requirements [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#EstablishMinimumPasswordStrength3B">CPG 3.B</a>] and creating unique credentials [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-performance-goals-2-0-cpg-2-0#CreateUniqueCredentials3C">CPG 3.C</a>], specifically noting that compromised employees might have had any password stored in a password manager exfiltrated.</p>

<p>Ein Netflix-Abo hat mittlerweile so gut wie jeder, doch der eine oder andere wartet vielleicht noch auf eine Möglichkeit, das Streaming-Angebot kostenlos zu testen. Das war seit den Anfängen von Netflix nicht mehr möglich, doch jetzt gibt es wieder einen kostenlosen Probezeitraum.</p>



<p>Bis zu 30 Tage können Sie den Streamingtest jetzt kostenlos nutzen. Teilweise werden auch nur 14 Tage angeboten, der Gratis-Zeitraum scheint also je nach Standort oder genutztem Browser zu variieren. Auf der Webseite von <a href="https://www.netflix.com/de/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Netflix Deutschland</a> wurden uns auch nur 14 Tage für 0 Euro angezeigt.

<p><strong>Wichtig:</strong> Das Angebot gilt explizit nur für Neukunden, nicht für wiederkehrende Abonnenten. Allerdings ist es recht einfach, diesen Umstand zu umgehen, wenn Sie sich einfach mit einer anderen E-Mail-Adresse als zuvor registrieren. Dann haben Sie zwar keinen Zugriff auf Ihren alten Account inklusive persönlicher Daten, Listen und Streaming-Historie, doch das ist sicher zu verschmerzen.</p>



<p>Nach Ablauf des Probezeitraums müssen Sie sich für ein Abo entscheiden (oder vorher kündigen). Zur Wahl stehen<strong> Standard mit Werbung</strong> für 4,99 Euro monatlich, <strong>Standard</strong> ohne Werbung für 13,99 Euro monatlich oder <strong>Premium</strong> für 19,99 Euro monatlich.<a href="https://karrierewelt.golem.de/products/ldap-identitatsmanagement-fundamentals-virtueller-drei-tage-workshop"></a></p>



<p>Warum genau Netflix gerade jetzt ein Probe-Abo wieder einführt, ist nicht ganz klar. Vermutlich versucht der Anbieter aber, neue Abonnenten dazu zu gewinnen, nachdem die Zahlen zuletzt stagnierten. Zwar ist Netflix der größte Anbieter für Streaming, doch die Konkurrenz schläft nicht. Seit Januar 2026 gibt es beispielsweise auch <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1186579/hbo-max-in-deutschland-sehen-so-gehts.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">HBO Max in Deutschland</a>, das mit großen Namen wie<em> Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon, Harry Potter </em>oder <em>Superman </em>wirbt<em>.</em></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI has launched Presence, an enterprise service for deploying voice and chat agents that can resolve customer and employee requests, potentially automating some work now handled by frontline support teams.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The agents can answer questions and operate IT systems, and enterprises can decide what actions the agents may take and when they should seek human approval for actions or transfer a case to a human.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI is already using Presence internally for its English-language phone support channel, where it verifies callers and uses account information to complete approved actions. The company said the system resolves 75% of inbound issues without human assistance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another OpenAI service, Codex, can be used to monitor agents and suggest updates or improvements to processes. In OpenAI’s own tests, suggestions from Codex helped reduce handoffs to humans by 15 percentage points over 10 days, it said. Presence also includes simulation and evaluation tools that allow companies to test an agent before deployment. The tests assess whether it reaches the correct outcome, follows company policy, and hands a case to an employee when required.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI intends each Presence deployment to deal with one kind of task, for example billing issues, insurance claims, or employee IT service requests, with agents getting only the knowledge and system access required for that task.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Presence is not a self-service product: Enterprises will have to sign up for the limited availability program, with integration performed by OpenAI or selected <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4136024/openai-partners-with-consulting-giants-to-deploy-enterprise-ai-agents.html">global systems integrators</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies exploring or testing Presence include Spanish bank BBVA, which is evaluating the service for everyday banking support in Mexico, and Japanese technology group SoftBank, which is using it in trials involving Japanese-language customer interactions. Australian insurer IAG is assessing whether the technology can help it respond to surges in customer demand during severe weather events.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Workforce impact</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OpenAI’s announcement did not address the potential effect of Presence on employment. But its claimed automation rate raises questions about how the technology could affect staffing in customer service and other support functions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://pareekh.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pareekh Jain</a>, CEO of Pareekh Consulting, said CIOs should regard the 75% figure as evidence that the technology can work, rather than as a benchmark that every enterprise can expect to reach.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain said OpenAI’s deployment benefits from being built around the company’s own products and data. Large enterprises may achieve lower automation rates because they must contend with fragmented legacy systems, uneven knowledge bases and more complex compliance demands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Most organizations should expect lower initial automation levels that improve over time as the AI agent is refined,” Jain said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first workforce effect is more likely to be <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4015750/cios-see-ai-prompting-new-it-hiring-even-as-boards-push-for-job-cuts.html">slower hiring than immediate layoffs</a>, according to <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tulikasheel/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tulika Sheel</a>, senior vice president at Kadence International.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The roles most exposed are likely to be repetitive, high-volume functions such as frontline customer support and routine back-office processing,” Sheel said. “However, I would expect the first impact to be on hiring and team growth rather than immediate large-scale job cuts. Over time, enterprises may redesign roles around AI-assisted workflows, with humans focusing more on complex cases, escalation, and relationship management.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain said Tier-1 support agents handling predictable queries would face the most exposure. Broader reductions would become more likely only after companies reorganize their operations around the technology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, <a href="https://omdia.tech.informa.com/authors/lian-jye-su" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lian Jye Su</a>, chief analyst at Omdia, said Presence is unlikely to increase the threat of job displacement because companies have used similar customer-support automation from vendors such as Genesys, NiCE, Five9 and AWS for years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Enterprises are more likely to use Presence alongside employees, with AI handling routine requests while people remain responsible for work requiring judgment and empathy, Su said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cost and operational risks</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Analysts said CIOs should examine whether Presence can maintain resolution quality as usage grows, since fewer human handoffs could leave employees dealing with a more difficult mix of cases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The key question is not simply how many tasks AI can handle, but whether it can handle them reliably at scale,” Sheel said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The financial case will depend partly on the cost of connecting Presence to existing systems and maintaining the controls needed to govern its use, according to Jain. “Often the biggest cost of enterprise AI is not tokens but <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4128310/openai-responds-to-claude-cowork-with-its-own-platform-to-help-build-deploy-and-manage-ai-agents.html">integration and governance</a>,” Jain added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies will need to determine what systems and data the agents can access, monitor their performance, and audit the actions they take. Those investments could offset early savings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Su said the complexity of enterprise IT will make it difficult for OpenAI to automate entire workflows on its own. Enterprises will still need to work with other technology providers and human employees, while CIOs will favor systems that can be audited and integrated with existing infrastructure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jain said the economics could improve if companies use the same integrations and governance controls across additional workflows.</p>

						<div class="article-column__content">
<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/cloudflare-net-q1-earnings-revenues-230528107.html">Cloudflare recently beat Q1 2026 earnings</a>. Revenue up 34% year over year. EPS ahead of consensus. Full-year guidance raised. Then, in the same breath, they announced 1,100 layoffs, 20% of the company. CEO Matthew Prince’s explanation: “The way we work at Cloudflare has fundamentally changed.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/block-q1-earnings-beat-strong-144200216.html">Block did the same thing</a>. Beat guidance, raised outlook, cut 4,000+ jobs. Both framed it as architecting for the AI era.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is not a contradiction. This is the new math boards are running. And if you’re a CIO who hasn’t started running it yourself, <a href="mailto:https://www.cio.com/article/4077996/cios-be-ready-for-agentic-ai-or-be-out-of-a-job.html">you’re behind</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The benchmark has moved</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI-native companies have quietly reset what “efficient” means for a technology organization. Midjourney generates over $500M in revenue with roughly 160 employees, over $3M per head. Anthropic hit a $14B annualized run rate in early 2026 with fewer than 3,000 employees. Across the top AI-native startups, <a href="mailto:https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulbaier/2026/03/31/ai-native-firms-lead-in-revenue-per-employee/">the average revenue per employee is $3.48M</a>, nearly twelve times the traditional SaaS benchmark of $300K.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="mailto:https://www.saastr.com/what-to-do-if-your-business-decelerates/">Boards aren’t comparing you to your 2019 self anymore</a>. They’re comparing you to Anthropic.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the pressure Cloudflare and Block are responding to. They’re not cutting people because the business is struggling. They’re cutting because investors have internalized a new denominator. Headcount is no longer a proxy for capacity; it’s a liability on the efficiency ratio.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For CIOs, this creates a hiring problem that looks nothing like the cloud or mobile talent gaps of the past decade. Those gaps were about volume: hire 100 cloud engineers, absorb the cost, build the capability… This one is about density; you’re not looking for 100 people. You’re looking for 10 who can deliver what 100 couldn’t, and justify $1M or more in value per seat.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Finding bodies to fill seats has never been easier. Finding people who operate at that level of leverage is a different problem entirely.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘Acqui-hires’ are a shortcut with a hidden cost</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Companies have figured out that recruiting AI-native talent one by one is too slow and that it’s faster to buy a team. Google’s acquisition of the Windsurf founders, Meta bringing in the Scale AI team, Accenture’s string of AI-focused acquisitions: <a href="mailto:https://tomtunguz.com/ai-acqui-hire-wave/">these are acqui-hires</a> dressed up as M&amp;A. The premium on experienced AI talent is high enough, and the urgency real enough, that organizations are skipping traditional hiring loops entirely and buying their way in.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I’ve been on the other side of this. My company, MadKudu, was acquired by HG Insights specifically to bring AI-native capability into an established enterprise business. HG needed change agents who had already figured out how to build and ship in this new era, not just people who’d read about it. That’s the thesis behind most of these deals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But there’s a cost that doesn’t show up in the acquisition price.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AI-native teams are fast because they operate with a different set of defaults: full access to tools, minimal governance layers, the ability to experiment and ship without a six-week approval cycle. That operating model is not a perk; it’s the fundamental mechanism. It’s why a team of 10 can do what an enterprise team of 100 can’t.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When you acqui-hire that team and then slot them into your existing approval processes, you’ve bought the people and killed the engine. The change agents you paid for become change-frustrated. The attrition that follows is expensive and predictable.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The harder realization: acquiring an AI-native team means accepting how they work. That requires deliberately carving out space for them to operate differently, not just tolerating it but institutionalizing it. The acquisition is an organizational change program, not just a hiring event.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The CIO’s real problem</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The governance stack most enterprise organizations run was designed for a headcount world. Every tool vetting cycle, every vendor review, every security approval was calibrated assuming you were managing a large team where consistency and control were the primary objectives.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That calculus breaks when your goal is talent density. The same approval processes that protect against data leaks are now the reason your best people can’t do their best work. When it takes six weeks to approve a tool that your competitor’s team is already shipping with, you’ve traded velocity for the perception of safety.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The practical fix is structured experimentation: clear guardrails, defined boundaries, but explicit permission to try tools before deciding whether to roll them out broadly. Gating everything prevents you from ever discovering what 10x productivity looks like.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The skills inventory question is also more nuanced than it sounds. Job titles won’t tell you where the leverage is. You need to map the actual tasks within each function and assess which can be automated or augmented with AI. That’s where you find the people who, with the right tools, become your $1M/employee talent, not because you hired differently, but because you enabled better.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is also where the build-versus-buy question gets genuinely tricky. As AI reshapes how products are built and delivered, your internal operating model — how you work, how fast you ship, how you use data — is becoming core IP. Outsourcing delivery means outsourcing the part of the organization where your competitive advantage is now being built.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Closing the gap without slowing down</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="mailto:https://www.saastr.com/the-great-ai-talent-grab-the-latest-20vc-with-jason-harry-and-rory/">The AI talent wars</a> are not primarily a recruiting problem. They’re a rethinking of what organizations are supposed to look like.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Boards have a new benchmark. Cloudflare, Block, Amazon, Meta and others have already started restructuring to meet it, publicly, painfully, even while beating their numbers. The question for CIOs isn’t whether this pressure arrives; it’s whether you’re ahead of it or behind it when it does.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The organizations that navigate this well won’t win by outbidding competitors for a handful of elite engineers. They’ll win by designing operating systems that amplify the leverage of the talent they do have, by enabling their best people rather than constraining them, and by treating AI fluency as a core organizational capability rather than a niche specialization.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Talent density is the new headcount model. The sooner your governance, your tooling and your board conversations reflect that, the better positioned you’ll be when the next efficiency report lands.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Google’s AI offerings span its internal and cloud offerings. Its data centers are processing seven times more AI tokens compared to last year. To keep up, Google is upgrading its data-center hardware and software technologies at a faster clip. It plans to raise $80 billion to build new data centers. (See related story: <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4200581/google-transforms-its-data-center-architecture-for-agent-era.html">Google transforms its data center architecture for agent era</a>)</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Network World</em> spoke with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/marklohmeyer/">Mark Lohmeyer</a>, vice president and general manager of AI and computing at Google, about how the company’s infrastructure is keeping pace with AI demand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Network World: What is the primary shift in infrastructure needs?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Mark Lohmeyer:</strong> We’ve seen the <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4175890/cisco-ai-traffic-is-radically-reshaping-wans.html">rise of agents and agentic use cases</a>. Years ago, it was the chat phase: Ask a question, get an answer. Now we’re in the agentic era, where you express your intent, agents spin off multiple sub-agents, working in parallel, preserving state. This is a radical shift in what infrastructure needs to do; make them fast, cost effective, secure, reliable. We’re delivering infrastructure optimized for the age of agents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NW: What’s the goal of the infrastructure buildout, and what should customers expect regarding costs?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ML: </strong>Ultimately, it’s about enabling customers with leading-edge capabilities and models at scale cost-effectively. With agents, <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4057121/network-and-cloud-implications-of-agentic-ai.html">inference transactions increase</a> by 50x, 100x versus non-agentic workloads. We’re driving the cost per transaction down exponentially. In our latest platforms, we reduce the cost by almost 2x for the same work. Customers serve twice the number of users at the same cost, directly driving profitability.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NW: How are you addressing energy efficiency?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ML:</strong> Energy is a critical resource, and Google has optimized for years. We design data centers and compute [to drive] high PUE (power usage effectiveness). We introduced <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4149069/why-ai-rack-densities-make-liquid-cooling-nonnegotiable.html">liquid cooling</a> over five years ago, and these latest systems are all liquid cooled. For agentic workloads, CPUs come to the forefront… orchestrating agents, calling tools, doing evaluation loops in reinforcement learning. Our latest Axion-based CPU platform called <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4086182/google-cloud-aims-for-more-cost-effective-arm-computing-with-axion-n4a.html">N4A</a> has energy efficiency and is significantly better than the prior generation and x86 comparables.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NW: How do you think about token efficiency as you build-out systems?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ML:</strong> Performance and efficiency gains are powered by co-design of the model and infrastructure. <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/4161990/gemini-enterprise-update-brings-ai-agents-into-collaborative-workflows.html">Gemini</a> is trained on TPUs, primarily served on TPUs with high frontier model capability, in a token and cost-efficient way. This stems from co-design across the full stack.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NW: How do you project what infrastructure will be needed years in advance?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ML:</strong> Hardware cycles deliver a new next generation roughly every year, but design cycles are two years or more in advance. We work with <a href="https://deepmind.google/about/">DeepMind</a> doing core research, to application teams taking models into production, to billions of users, to our team building infrastructure. We work upstream with DeepMind and application teams to understand what’s coming. Agents weren’t being broadly spoken of externally, but internally we had those insights around what they would need. That shows up in hardware design. We hit the timing right — these platforms are built for agents.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NW: What’s the eighth generation TPU platform?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ML:</strong> We deliver new platforms every year, and ones launched years ago are close to 100% utilized because demand for AI-optimized compute is high. The <a href="https://www.networkworld.com/article/4162004/google-bets-on-workload-specific-tpus-with-8t-and-8i-launch.html">eighth-generation TPU platform</a> is the first delivering two complete systems, from the chip all the way up to the network and storage and software, that are optimized.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/compute/tpu-8t-and-tpu-8i-technical-deep-dive">TPU-8t</a> is optimized for training, and TPU-8i is optimized for inference. For TPU-8i, we increased SRAM on the chip to 384MB — three times the prior generation — and increased the HBM by 50%.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NW: How are you approaching GPU and TPU compatibility?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ML: </strong>People in a single cluster do not commingle GPUs and TPUs. We offer both options based on specific workload needs. We’ve been investing on the TPU side in using software frameworks customers are comfortable with on GPUs and enabling those on TPUs. For example, <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2335194/what-is-pytorch-python-machine-learning-on-gpus.html">PyTorch</a> and vLLM. Customers could have a pool of GPUs and TPUs, running vLLM on top of that. Start with a workload on TPUs, but if the TPU pool is fully utilized, spill to GPUs or vice versa. This works because it’s all leveraging the same compatible software layer on top.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NW: How has the orchestration platform changed for agents?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ML:</strong> Kubernetes is becoming the orchestration platform of choice for AI. Google is transforming <a href="https://www.infoworld.com/article/2255921/gke-tutorial-get-started-with-google-kubernetes-engine.html">GKE</a> [Google Kubernetes Engine] into an agent-native orchestration solution. When expressing intent to an agent and it spins up multiple sub-agents, compute needs to spin up rapidly — TPUs or GPUs — without long delays, then run and spin back down. We’re optimizing at every layer of the <a href="https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine">GKE stack</a>: significantly improving node startup time and how rapidly we start and stop containers. Lovable demonstrates this with GKE, spinning up hundreds of sandboxes for live coding sessions on their platform in parallel, paying for infrastructure when needed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NW: What is the role of the network and storage infrastructure?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ML:</strong> The network is critical for AI. This requires creating large-scale clusters of GPUs or TPUs and enabling them to talk to each other in a high-performance way. <a href="https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/networking/introducing-virgo-megascale-data-center-fabric">We created the Virgo network</a> — a collapsed network architecture, non-blocking within a data center, where multiple pods or NVLink72 domains connect together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In TPU8T, we can connect over a million TPUs together leveraging Virgo, creating large-scale, high-performance, reliable clusters that shrink innovation cycles. Storage is equally critical. In large-scale clusters, something is always failing. The ability to take snapshots and go back to a checkpoint is important.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’ve introduced <a href="https://cloud.google.com/products/managed-lustre">Managed Lustre 10T</a>, with 10 terabytes per second of bandwidth, 18 petabytes of storage in single clusters. This is 10 times faster than last year and 20 times faster than competition. We have Rapid Bucket, low-latency storage backed by Google storage systems. Both are impactful in large-scale training environments.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>NW: How does KV cache strategy differ between training and inference?</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>ML:</strong> For <a href="https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/infrastructure-and-cloud/google-cloud/eighth-generation-tpu-agentic-era/">TPU-8i</a>, we increased SRAM on the chip to 384 megabytes — three times the prior generation — and increased the HBM by 50%. Storing KV cache directly in chip memory allows responding to inference requests much more rapidly and cost-effectively than going to an external system. For inference workloads, storing as much KV cache as possible on-chip is critical.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We’re introducing a dedicated KV cache storage subsystem that works across GPUs and TPUs. As KV caches get larger, being able to fall back to this dedicated subsystem becomes critical. Loading model weights rapidly is important in dynamic inference environments where accelerators switch between models hour by hour.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der heimliche Cybercrime-Akt zweier KI-Modelle von OpenAI hat weltweit ein enormes Echo in <a href="https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/openai-ki-hackerangriff-100.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mainstream</a>– und <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1v2ybnw/openai_models_escaped_containment_and_hacked/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sozialen Medien</a> hervorgerufen. Der Vorfall dürfte die Debatte über die allgemeine <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4155663/6-wege-uber-ki-gehackt-zu-werden.html" target="_blank">KI-Sicherheit</a> und den verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit der Technologie neu befeuern. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Doch der Incident wirft auch spezifische Fragen auf.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Zunächst werfen wir aber noch einen kurzen Blick darauf, was sich eigentlich abgespielt hat.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Der autonome Hugging-Face-Hack</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die KI-Plattform Hugging Face meldete Mitte Juli einen <a href="https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cyberangriff auf ihre Produktions-Infrastruktur</a>. Diese wurde offenbar vollständig autonom von einem agentenbasierten KI-System gefahren, das sich dabei sowohl Zugriff auf interne Datensätze als auch auf Zugangsdaten verschaffen konnte.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Wie sich im Rahmen der folgenden Untersuchung herausstellte, stammte die autonom hackende KI von OpenAI. Eigentlich wollte der KI-Pionier lediglich zwei seiner neuen Modelle – GPT 5.6 Sol sowie ein nicht näher spezifiziertes Pre-Release-Modell – innerhalb einer Sandbox mit dem Benchmarking-Tool <a href="https://github.com/sunblaze-ucb/exploitgym" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ExploitGym</a> testen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Die Aufgabe für die KI: Schwachstellen in tragfähige Exploits zu verwandeln. Die Testumgebung selbst war OpenAI zufolge mit beschränktem Netzwerkzugriff ausgestattet. Die KI sollte lediglich auf einen intern gehosteten Drittanbieter-Service zugreifen können, der als Proxy und Cache für eine Package-Registry fungierte. Die Guardrails auf Modellebene waren für den Test laut dem KI-Unternehmen reduziert worden.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das war der KI aber offenbar nicht genug: Sie verkettete zunächst einige zuvor unbekannte Schwachstellen in der Testumgebung, um sich uneingeschränkten Internet-Zugriff zu verschaffen, wie OpenAI <a href="https://openai.com/de-DE/index/hugging-face-model-evaluation-security-incident/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in einem Blogbeitrag</a> offenlegt: „Mit diesem Zugriff führten unsere Modelle in unserer Forschungsumgebung eine Reihe von Privilege-Escalation- und Lateral-Movement-Aktionen aus, bis sie eine Node mit Internetzugang erreichten.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Weil die OpenAI-Modelle bei Hugging Face offenbar Lösungen für ihre ExploitGym-Aufgaben vermuteten, suchten sie nach Möglichkeiten, Zugriff auf diese zu erhalten. Und fanden sie dann auch, wie OpenAI darlegt: „In einem Beispiel verkettete das Modell mehrere Angriffsvektoren, darunter gestohlene Zugangsdaten und Zero-Day-Schwachstellen, um auf den Servern von Hugging Face einen Remote-Execution-Pfad zu finden.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Das Security-Team von OpenAI konnte diese Vorgänge im Nachgang identifizieren und schloss sich daraufhin mit dem Team von Hugging Face zusammen, welches die Attacke seinerseits bereits identifiziert und (mit einigen Anlaufschwierigkeiten) eingedämmt hatte.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">„Wir betrachten dies als beispiellosen Cybervorfall mit hochentwickelten Fähigkeiten und reagieren entsprechend. Wir teilen zu diesem Zeitpunkt vorläufige Erkenntnisse, damit Sicherheitsverantwortliche nachvollziehen können, was passiert ist, und besser einschätzen können, wozu die Modelle inzwischen in der Lage sind“, schreibt OpenAI in seinem Blog – und verspricht, weitere Details zu veröffentlichen, sobald diese vorliegen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">KI-Ausbruch bei OpenAI – so reagieren Experten</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Branchenexperten und Analysten bewerten den schlagzeilenträchtigen Incident um OpenAI und Hugging Face folgendermaßen: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://www.kuppingercole.com/people/balaganski" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alexei Balaganski</a>, Lead Analyst bei KuppingerCole<strong>: </strong>„Dieser Vorfall sollte nicht als ‚Rogue AI‘-Geschichte betrachtet werden. Das Modell hat exakt das getan, wofür agentische Systeme gemacht sind: Es hat sich allen verfügbaren Tools und Wegen bedient, um das ihm gesetzte Ziel zu erreichen. Die Sicherheitsvorkehrungen, die es normalerweise in Zaum gehalten hätten, wurden von OpenAI selbst zu Testzwecken deaktiviert. Darin besteht die wahre Lektion.“</li>



<li><a href="https://www.kuppingercole.com/people/care" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jonathan Care</a>, Lead Analyst und AI Practice Lead bei KuppingerCole: „Es geht bei diesem Vorfall nicht darum, dass eine KI ausgebrochen ist und zum Angreifer wurde. Wir wussten, das würde passieren. Bemerkenswert ist allerdings, dass die Verteidiger – in diesem Fall das Team von Hugging Face – keine kommerziellen KI-Modelle nutzen konnten, um den Angriff zu analysieren. Denn deren Guardrails sorgen dafür, dass kein Exoploit-Code verarbeitet werden kann.“</li>



<li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/beuchelt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gerald Beuchelt</a>, CISO bei Acronis: „Der Vorfall verdeutlicht eine zentrale Herausforderung für Incident-Response-Teams: Angreifer sind nicht an Nutzungsrichtlinien gebunden. Verteidiger können hingegen an die Grenzen ihrer eigenen Tools stoßen, wenn diese genau jene Daten nicht verarbeiten, die für eine Untersuchung erforderlich sind. Im Ernstfall können daraus Verzögerungen mit unmittelbaren operativen Folgen entstehen.“</li>



<li><a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/profile/sabine-fromling/" target="_blank">Sabine Frömling</a>, Experten-Autorin und Cybersecurity-Beraterin: „Der eigentliche Sicherheitsvorfall war nicht die KI – sondern die Sandbox, die aus Versehen eine Tür zum Internet hatte. Man hat ein Raubtier freigelassen und dem Zaun die Schuld gegeben.“</li>



<li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinzugec" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Martin Zugec</a>, Technical Solutions Director bei Bitdefender:<strong> „</strong>Was meiner Meinung nach für KI-generierte Malware galt, untermauert auch dieser Vorfall: Die Bedrohung ist real, KI ist aber keine Magie. Wer glaubt, es mit einer neuartigen Superwaffe zu tun zu haben, wartet auf eine neuartige Gegenmaßnahme. Wer jedoch erkennt, dass es sich um bereits bekannte, aber unerbittlich angewandte Angriffstechniken handelt, weiß bereits, was zu tun ist.“</li>



<li><a href="https://de.linkedin.com/in/riwerner/de" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Richard Werner</a>, Cybersecurity Platform Lead Europe bei TrendAI: „Das Narrativ von der ‚eigenmächtig handelnden KI‘ ist effizient darin, Verantwortung abzuwälzen. Das ist, als würden Sie eine autonome Waffe bauen, diese auf einem vermeintlich sicheren Testgelände erproben, sie außer Kontrolle geraten und jemanden treffen lassen – und der Welt anschließend erklären, die Waffe habe eigenständig gehandelt. Das ist zwar technisch korrekt. Dennoch bleibt es Ihre Waffe, Ihr Testgelände und Ihr Versagen.“</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Was Unternehmen jetzt tun sollten</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">IT- und Sicherheitsentscheider können aus dem Hugging-Face-Hack mehrere Lektionen ziehen. Etwa, dass Sicherheitsvorkehrungen auf Modellebene <strong>nicht</strong> als primäre Security-Grenze für KI-Agenten geeignet sind, wie <a href="https://www.forrester.com/analyst-bio/biswajeet-mahapatra/BIO20046" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Biswajeet Mahapatra</a>, Principal Analyst bei Forrester, festhält: „Prompt-Guardrails sind keine Sicherheits-, sondern Verhaltenskontrollmaßnahmen. Und diese können versagen, umgangen oder absichtlich deaktiviert werden.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Der Forrester-Analyst rät Unternehmen deshalb dazu, KI-Agenten als <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4152424/insider-threats-sind-wieder-im-kommen.html" target="_blank">hochriskante, nicht-menschliche Identitäten</a> zu behandeln – und jeden einzelnen in einer isolierten Umgebung zu betreiben, in der Datenzugriff auf den jeweiligen Task beschränkt bleibt und die Zugangsdaten selbst möglichst schnell ablaufen: „Das sorgt für einen akzeptablen ‚Blast Radius‘: Wird ein Agent <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4190978/so-spuren-sie-kompromittierte-ki-agenten-auf.html" target="_blank">kompromittiert</a>, kann er nur einen einzigen Workflow, Datensatz oder eine einzige Anwendung beeinträchtigen. Anstatt die gesamte Unternehmensinfrastruktur.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://greyhoundresearch.com/svg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanchit Vir Gogia</a>, Chefanalyst bei Greyhound Research, warnt an dieser Stelle davor, (Drittanbieter-)Services unter den Tisch fallen zu lassen: „Dienste, die auf Package Registries, Update-Systeme oder andere externe Ressourcen zugreifen, können ebenfalls zu Einfallstoren werden, wenn sie nicht derselben, ausgiebigen Prüfung unterzogen werden wie der Agent selbst.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unabhängig davon sollten Unternehmen laut Gogia auch testen, ob ihre Containment-Grenzen auch funktionieren, anstatt sich allein auf Architekturdiagramme oder dokumentierte Richtlinien zu verlassen: „Im Rahmen dieser Tests sollte geprüft werden, ob Anmeldedaten erlangt, Trust-Grenzen überwunden und Systeme außerhalb der einem Agenten zugewiesenen Aufgabe erreicht werden können.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">KuppingerCole-Chefanalyst Care rät IT-Entscheidern und Unternehmen im Wesentlichen zu drei Maßnahmen, nämlich:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>ein fähiges Modell auf der eigenen Infrastruktur auszuführen, das unter der eigenen Kontrolle steht und mit Guardrails ausgestattet ist, die sowohl eine forensische als auch defensive Nutzung ermöglichen. Nur so ließen sich Angriffe dieser Art auch zuverlässig analysieren.</li>



<li>jeden KI-Agent in der eigenen Umgebung als privilegierten Insider zu behandeln – statt als vertrauenswürdigen Benutzer: „Wenn die Modelle von OpenAI aus ihrer Sandbox ausgebrochen sind, sollten Sie davon ausgehen, dass Ihre Agenten dazu auch in der Lage sind.“</li>



<li>den eigenen Incident-Response-Plan mit Blick auf Angriffe in maschineller Geschwindigkeit zu aktualisieren: „Hugging Face hatte einige Tage Zeit, um zu reagieren, Sie haben vielleicht nur Minuten.“   </li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Acronis-CISO Beuchelt rät Organisationen, die gehostete <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/4186715/31-wege-llms-zu-evaluieren.html" target="_blank">LLMs</a> für Security-Untersuchungen einsetzen, dazu, deren Grenzen möglichst bereits im Vorfeld zu durchdringen und zu testen – sowie ein alternatives Modell auf der eigenen Infrastruktur bereitzuhalten: „So reduzieren Sie das Risiko, im entscheidenden Moment keinen Zugriff auf wichtige Analysefunktionen zu haben. Gleichzeitig bleiben sensible Incident-Daten und Zugangsinformationen innerhalb der eigenen Organisation.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://de.linkedin.com/in/udoschneider">Udo Schneider</a>, Governance, Risk &amp; Compliance Lead Europe bei TrendAI weist darauf hin, dass die beiden naheliegendsten Lösungsansätze bei Angriffen wie dem der OpenAI-KI auf Hugging Face nur teilweise greifen. Human-in-the-Loop-Kontrollen funktionierten zwar, so der Experte, skalierten aber nicht für die langlaufenden, komplexen Workflows, denen Incidents dieser Art entspringen. Ebenso könnten engere Guardrails für Modelle oder Prompts zwar helfen, stellten jedoch keine Garantie dar: „Es handelt sich um probabilistische Systeme. Eine Guardrail ist insofern keine Mauer, sondern eher eine starke Wahrscheinlichkeitsannahme.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Deshalb komme es laut Schneider vor allem auf die unspektakulären, nicht-KI-spezifischen Kontrollen an: „Zugriffsfilterung, Kontrolle darüber, was überhaupt als Input beim Modell ankommt, Sandboxes, die tatsächlich halten, und Berechtigungskonzepte nach dem Least-Privilege-Prinzip.“</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In Panik zu verfallen, wäre nach Ansicht von <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/martinzugec" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Martin Zugec</a>, Technical Solutions Director bei Bitdefender, in jedem Fall die falsche Reaktion:„Was gegen solche Angriffe wirkt, ist eine präventionsorientierte Security, die den Handlungsspielraum eines Angreifers von vorneherein einschränkt – und eine verhaltensbasierte Abwehr, die bösartige Muster kennzeichnet, unabhängig davon, mit welchen Tools diese generiert wurden.“</p>

<p>Wir schreiben das Jahr 2003. Ich bin ein Neuntklässler und spiele auf der Original-Xbox mit einem Controller, der ungefähr so groß ist wie eine Servierplatte. Ich besitze <em>Halo </em>und  <em>Dead or Alive 3</em> und bin von der Grafik völlig begeistert. Das nächste Spiel, das ich mir kaufe, ist <em>Crimson Skies</em>, ein arcadeartiges Luftkampfspiel, das alternative Geschichte mit Abenteuer-Pulp verbindet und über eine wirklich hervorragende Steuerung verfügt.</p>



<p>Seit über 20 Jahren versuche ich nun, dieses Gefühl – wenn schon nicht genau diese Erfahrung – wieder aufleben zu lassen. </p>

<p>Die meisten der Blockbuster-Titel aus dem ursprünglichen Xbox-Sortiment können Sie bereits jetzt auf dem PC spielen, darunter auch <em>Halo</em>, für das sowohl ein Remaster als auch ein Remake in Vorbereitung sind. Einige der eher nischenorientierten Titel waren jedoch schon seit sehr, sehr langer Zeit nicht mehr erhältlich, mit Ausnahme einiger weniger, die Sie über den Game Pass streamen können.</p>



<p>Microsoft hat beschlossen, einige dieser weniger bekannten Klassiker – und vielleicht auch ein paar, die dem Begriff „Klassiker“ nicht ganz gerecht werden – in Form vollständiger Portierungen für PC-Spieler verfügbar zu machen.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Xbox-„Klassiker“ erhalten PC-Ports</h2>



<p>Das Unternehmen nennt dies „<a href="https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/22/xbox-backward-compatibility-on-pc/">Xbox-Abwärtskompatibilität auf dem PC</a>“. Der Start erfolgt mit vier Spielen, weitere sollen in Kürze folgen. Diese Spiele laufen lokal auf Ihrem Windows-PC, offenbar ohne jegliche Emulation (oder falls eine Emulation stattfindet, wird dies nicht ausdrücklich erwähnt), wobei bestimmte Mindestsystemanforderungen gelten, darunter eine GTX 950- oder Radeon RX 550-Grafikkarte. Grundsätzlich sollte jeder PC, der in den letzten sechs oder sieben Jahren auf den Markt gekommen ist, diese Anforderungen erfüllen, einschließlich Laptops und Handhelds mit integrierter Grafik.</p>



<p>Zu den ersten Titeln gehört <em>Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge</em>, von dem ich erst später erfuhr, dass es sich um eine ausschließlich für Konsolen veröffentlichte Fortsetzung eines früheren PC-Spiels handelt. Es kostet zehn Euro – erstaunlich günstig in einer Welt, in der Microsoft 40 Euro für eine Wieder-Wieder-Wiederveröffentlichung von <em>Skyrim </em>verlangt<em>.</em></p>



<p>Ich habe es sofort gekauft und wollte es herunterladen … doch das geht nicht, da es laut der Xbox-App für Windows nur per Streaming über den Game Pass verfügbar ist.</p>



<p>Microsoft gibt an, dass man die neueste Version des Xbox-Insider-Builds benötigt, über die ich bereits verfüge. Dies scheint eine schrittweise Einführung zu sein – ein häufiges Problem bei Funktionen, die von der Xbox-Windows-App abhängig sind. Ich bin etwas verärgert, dass ich es nicht sofort ausprobieren kann.</p>



<p>Das bedeutet auch, dass es nahezu unmöglich sein wird, das Spiel auf einem SteamOS-basierten Gerät zu spielen. Was für mich persönlich sehr schade ist, <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/3194800/steam-machine-im-praxistest-ganz-nett-aber-leider-enttaeuschend.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">da ich gerade erst eine Steam Machine gekauft habe</a>. Ich werde diesen Artikel aktualisieren, sobald ich das Spiel zum Laufen gebracht habe.</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure data-wp-context='{"imageId":"6a620da47251c"}' data-wp-interactive="core/image" class="wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container"><img decoding="async" data-wp-class--hide="state.isContentHidden" data-wp-class--show="state.isContentVisible" data-wp-init="callbacks.setButtonStyles" data-wp-on-async--click="actions.showLightbox" data-wp-on-async--load="callbacks.setButtonStyles" data-wp-on-async-window--resize="callbacks.setButtonStyles" src="https://b2c-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/image_552da1.png?w=1200" alt="ROG Xbox Ally X playing Crimson Skies" class="wp-image-3197144" width="1200" height="675" loading="lazy"><button class="lightbox-trigger" type="button" aria-haspopup="dialog" aria-label="Enlarge" data-wp-init="callbacks.initTriggerButton" data-wp-on-async--click="actions.showLightbox" data-wp-style--right="state.imageButtonRight" data-wp-style--top="state.imageButtonTop">

				</svg>
			</button></figure><p class="imageCredit">Microsoft</p></div>



<p>Die weiteren Titel sind <em>Blinx: The Time Sweeper</em>, einer der frühen Versuche, der Xbox ein Maskottchen-Plattformspiel zu geben, <em>Conker: Live &amp; Reloaded</em>, ein Remake des N64-Kuriosums <em>Conker’s Bad Fur Day</em>, das<em> </em>nach der Übernahme von Rare durch Microsoft entstand, sowie das extrem für die 2000er Jahre typische Partyspiel <em>Fusion Frenzy</em>. Alle vier waren Teil von Microsofts anfänglicher Veröffentlichungsoffensive für die Xbox, und <em>Blinx </em>sowie<em> Crimson Skies </em>sind zudem über den Game Pass verfügbar.</p>



<p>Ich bin mir sicher, dass es vielen PC-Spielern genauso geht wie mir und sie an mindestens eines dieser Spiele schöne Erinnerungen haben. Insbesondere <em>Blinx</em> bot einige sehr interessante Spielkonzepte, die auf älteren Konsolen nicht möglich waren – ermöglicht durch die interne 8-GB-Festplatte der Xbox, ein entscheidender Unterschied zur Playstation 2 und anderen Konsolen. Weitere Spiele sollen angeblich in Zukunft in die Xbox-Abwärtskompatibilität aufgenommen werden, wobei nicht genau angegeben wurde, um welche es sich dabei handelt.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tiefgreifende Probleme bei Xbox bleiben bestehen</h2>



<p>Doch ich fürchte, ich muss die Stimmung hier zum Schluss etwas trüben. Die Xbox als Plattform und als Geschäftsbereich von Microsoft befindet sich in einer prekären Lage: Sie kann im Wettbewerb mit der Playstation nicht mithalten, wird von Valve mit Steam und SteamOS unter Druck gesetzt und entlässt Tausende von Mitarbeitern aus ihrem riesigen, kostspieligen Bestand an Entwicklern und Publishern. Xbox muss dringend Spieler zurückgewinnen, die nach den massiven Preiserhöhungen für den Game Pass und die Xbox-Hardware möglicherweise zögern, der Plattform noch zu vertrauen.</p>



<p>Diese nostalgischen Neuzugänge für den PC folgen kurz nach Gerüchten über ein neues <em>Fallout-</em>Spiel des bei Fans beliebten Entwicklers (und der Microsoft-Tochter) Obsidian, der stark von Entlassungen betroffen war. Es liegt nahe, beide Schritte als Versuch zu betrachten, das Ruder herumzureißen und/oder die Spieler dazu zu bringen, die tiefgreifenden Probleme innerhalb von Xbox und Microsoft insgesamt zu vergessen. Dazu wird es jedoch mehr als eine 23 Jahre alte Portierung brauchen.</p>
