The panelists – Anna Delaney, executive director, productions; Mathew Schwartz, executive editor of DataBreachToday and Europe; Michael Novinson, executive editor, ISMG Business; and Marianne Kolbasuk McGee, executive editor, HealthcareInfoSecurity – discussed:

The escalating PHP2Shell vulnerability threat, the wave of cyberattacks dubbed “Black October,” and how artificial intelligence-assisted vulnerability discovery is overwhelming security teams and forcing organizations to rethink patching priorities, technical debt and cybersecurity investments;
The impact of U.S. healthcare deregulation on cybersecurity, the rollback of AI transparency requirements and a New Mexico hospital cyberattack that highlights the risks to patient safety and operational resilience;
Anthropic’s soaring revenue, mounting losses and dependence on major cloud providers, as well as the financial and vendor lock-in risks these relationships pose to enterprise customers.
