"In a world where threats are persistent, the modern CISO's real job isn't just to secure technology-it's to preserve institutional trust and ensure business continuity. This week, we saw a clear pattern: adversaries are targeting the complex relationships that hold businesses together, from supply chains to strategic partnerships. With new regulations and the rise of AI-driven attacks, the decisions you make now will shape your organization's resilience for years to come."
"A copycat version of the infamous Petya/NotPetya malware dubbed HybridPetya has been spotted. But no telemetry exists to suggest HybridPetya has been deployed in the wild yet. It also differs in one key respect: It can compromise the secure boot feature of Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) by installing a malicious application. Attackers prize bootkits since malware installed at that level can evade detection by antivirus applications and survive operating system reinstalls. With access to the UEFI, hackers can deploy their own kernel-mode payloads."
"Samsung Patches Actively Exploited Flaw - Samsung has released a fix for a security vulnerability that it said has been exploited in zero-day attacks. The vulnerability, CVE-2025-21043 (CVSS score: 8.8), concerns an out-of-bounds write that could result in arbitrary code execution. The critical-rated issue, per the South Korean electronics giant, affects Android versions 13, 14, 15, and 16. The vulnerability was privately disclosed to the company on August 13, 2025."
Adversaries are increasingly targeting the relationships and systems that underpin business operations, including supply chains and strategic partnerships. HybridPetya, a Petya/NotPetya copycat, can compromise UEFI secure boot by installing a malicious application, enabling kernel-mode payloads that evade antivirus and survive OS reinstalls; samples were uploaded to VirusTotal in February 2025. New regulations and AI-driven attack techniques raise stakes for decision-making that shapes organizational resilience. Samsung patched an actively exploited zero-day, CVE-2025-21043, an out-of-bounds write affecting Android 13–16 that could allow arbitrary code execution and was privately disclosed on August 13, 2025.
