What happened
Sophos published its 2026 Active Adversary Report and related blog coverage summarizing analysis of 661 incidents remediated by Sophos X-Ops, noting that AI hype has not dramatically changed defensive practice while highlighting a concerning below‑the‑radar development. The feed also includes a warning about enterprise AI security from the “OpenClaw” experiment (agentic AI risks), the February Patch Tuesday advisory noting 58 CVEs with several already observed under attack, and announcements for the new Sophos Workspace Protection product (secure access for contractors/guests and SaaS app control).
