Change in behavior: findfiles() and directory trailing slashes

CFEngine 3.24.4+, 3.27.1+, and 3.28.0+ include a change to how findfiles() handles trailing slashes on directory paths. This change restores trailing slashes to directory results, but with improved consistency compared to earlier versions. The new behavior ensures that directory paths always include a trailing slash, making them reliably distinguishable from file paths regardless of the glob pattern used.

How AI-Powered Phishing Is Changing What 'Suspicious Email' Looks Like

For years, spotting a phishing email was almost a checklist exercise. Look for typos, watch for broken grammar, be suspicious of generic greetings like "Dear user," and check if the sender's address looks strange. That mental model worked because phishing emails actually looked bad. Which is no longer true. With the rise of AI, attackers can generate emails that are grammatically perfect, context-aware, and indistinguishable from legitimate business communication. The obvious red flags are gone. What used to look suspicious now looks completely normal.

PCA Cyber Security Is Now a PCI SSC Associate Participating Organization (APO)

The AI Zero-Day Wave Is Here. Is Your Logging Infrastructure Ready?

Last week, the cybersecurity industry received a signal it cannot afford to ignore. Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview: a general-purpose frontier AI model that, without any explicit training for the task, autonomously discovered and fully exploited zero-day vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser. Not theoretical capabilities.

Scaling Technical Research: Integrating Proxies into Your Data Operations (DataOps) Pipeline

In the world of Big Data, success depends on more than just algorithms. The quality of the incoming data stream is crucial. When a company scales its technical research, it inevitably encounters barriers such as CAPTCHAs, geoblocks, and anti-fraud systems.

Introducing Code Repositories in Kosli

Kosli gives your organization a complete picture of software delivery - every build, scan, deployment, and compliance event tracked. Until now that picture was most useful to the people managing governance. However, developers shipping code had to ask someone else what versions of their code were running, how long it was taking to get to production, or what their deployment frequency was. Repositories change that.
