The weekly digest notes that FortiBleed activity continues and looks ahead to Patch Tuesday. It also gathers Help Net Security items on a hospital CISO’s questions for a healthcare fintech partner, a kit for assembling a 4G phone, and a macOS utility that disables Apple Intelligence and removes its downloaded models.
Other entries cover a U.S. Bank CISO’s view of expanding security duties, an ArmorCode survey on handling findings with automation, AI agents, or staff, audits for street-camera AI, and a Qualys framework for pricing security decisions.
