As promised, we're keeping the releases coming, and last week's headline feature was our new Patching Compliance Report (Beta) for anyone reporting against Cyber Essentials or DORA. A lot of what's in this one came straight from your feedback, so a big thank you to everyone sending ideas our way. Here's a quick look at what's new in the portal: 🔷 Patching Compliance Report (Beta): see which vulnerabilities are still within their remediation deadline and which have slipped past it. 🔷 Compile Full Report (Experimental): every vulnerability type across every device, in one Excel workbook. 🔷 Automatic PSA Remediation: If an app has an AutoFix rule, tickets are held back unless AutoFix has failed a set number of times. 🔷 Bulk Service Actions: start, stop or restart several Windows services in one go. 🔷 Clearer Patch Levels: Added OS revision (UBR) tracking, so machines on the same build but different cumulative updates are now shown separately. 🔷 A redesigned Licence and Billing area, plus a handful of quality of life updates. You'll find more on these in the blog, which includes step-by-step guidance for each feature 😊 🔗 Read the full release here: eu1.hubs.ly/H0ySrx90 #CyberSecurity #MSP #CyberEssentials #DORA #PatchManagement #RoboShadow

For anyone who missed it, we announced our largest release last week, after a summer of building, testing and tidying, with three completely new products now opening up for early access: 🔷 AI Pentest Agent - running real exploitation attempts across networks, code and cloud environments to find out how an attacker could actually get in. 🔷 Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM & SOC) - making another important layer of security more accessible for internal IT teams and MSPs. 🔷 App Manager - a zero-trust approach to understanding and controlling the apps, packages and tools running across an estate. There's a lot more in this release, all covered in our blog: 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H0yNwWv0 Vulnerability coverage has been expanded further with eight new elements that are available to test through our App Bounty, several features out of Beta and Experimental, and a refreshed RoboShadow interface that we'll be rolling out gradually 😊 #CyberSecurity #VulnerabilityManagement #MSP #Pentesting #SIEMSOC #RoboShadow

📣 If your organisation has been hit by a cyberattack, our team will help you get through it, for free. Attacks are increasing, and AI is changing the shape of what's coming at businesses and MSPs alike. Security by obscurity isn't holding up as a strategy anymore, and when an incident does happen, the clean-up can be just as stressful as the attack itself. So here's what we're offering to the whole market: 🔹If you've experienced a cyber incident, get in touch with our team with some evidence of what happened. 🔹We'll get you access to the full version of RoboShadow across your entire environment, free of charge. From there we'll run a complete audit and fix as much as the platform can resolve automatically, which for most organisations covers somewhere between 60 and 90% of what's found. Anything we can't fix automatically, like firewall port changes, gets raised as a ticket straight into your service system. It doesn't matter how big your organisation is or whether you can pay for it afterwards. Once you've confirmed the clean-up is done, we'll remove the licences, and we'll give you a sensible 48 hours to do that rather than chasing you for it. If you've been hit, get in touch with the team by emailing us at [email protected]. #CyberSecurity #MSP #RoboShadow #VulnerabilityManagement #CyberAttack #AI

⚡Microsoft's September Patch Tuesday became the largest release in its history. 900+ vulnerabilities addressed, 113 of them rated Critical, and two zero-days that were already being exploited before patches arrived. With a release this size, prioritisation matters more than ever. We broke down what needs attention first, and why a record-breaking number doesn't automatically mean record-breaking risk.

👩‍💻Point RoboShadow at any IP address or website you own and you'll get an external vulnerability scan back in a couple of minutes, for free. You'll see your perimeter the way an attacker would from the outside, unauthenticated: open ports, plus an OWASP web-app scan. We don't need you to install an agent, put in your credit card details, or get on a sales call with us, we just think that everyone should see their own attack surface. So this lives in our free tier, and it stays there. Give it a go on your own domain and see what comes back! As always, we're here for you if you have any questions or need help with anything :) #VulnerabilityManagement #CyberSecurity #ExternalVulnerabilityScanner #AttackSurface #OWASP #InfoSec

🌒In one of the biggest releases of the year, Microsoft's August Patch Tuesday addressed roughly 400 vulnerabilities, including 42 rated Critical and three zero-days - one of which was already being exploited before a patch existed. We've broken it down for you in the blog and included what to prioritise this month: 🔗 eu1.hubs.ly/H0xCXRF0 #PatchTuesday #CyberSecurity #VulnerabilityManagement #MSP #RoboShadow #Microsoft

💡 As more organisations build their own applications and increasingly use AI to help write code, we have to think about how those applications are protected too. Security by obscurity has never been a long-term strategy, and understanding what's happening inside your own environment is more important than ever. 🔗 Watch the full video on YouTube: eu1.hubs.ly/H0xqPtd0 #CyberSecurity #AI #ApplicationSecurity #SIEM #SOC #InformationSecurity #RoboShadow #VibeCoding

If an AI model is interacting with your environment, it's still making API calls, enumerating systems, requesting data and generating activity along the way. Those are exactly the kinds of patterns that SIEM and SOC capabilities are designed to detect. As organisations adapt to increasingly capable AI, continuous monitoring is likely to become more important than ever. Fortunately, enterprise-grade SIEM and SOC services are also becoming much more accessible, giving organisations of all sizes more options than they've had in the past. 🔗 Watch the full video on YouTube: eu1.hubs.ly/H0xmBNw0 #CyberSecurity #AI #SIEM #SOC #CyberRisk #MSP #RoboShadow

After an interview at a GTIA event, someone came up to our CEO, Terry Lewis, and mentioned how hearing the discussion around new AI variants coming to the market had really reduced their anxiety around AI. We think that says a lot about where we are at the moment. There are some very real advances happening, but there are also plenty of headlines that make it difficult to judge what deserves our attention and what should be taken with a pinch of salt. One point to consider: AI is uncovering vulnerabilities at a pace that wasn't possible before, bringing long-standing security issues to the surface much faster than we've been used to. This presents new challenges, but also gives organisations the opportunity to identify and fix problems that may otherwise have remained hidden. 🔗 Watch the full video on YouTube: eu1.hubs.ly/H0xdStL0 #CyberSecurity #AI #CyberRisk #VulnerabilityManagement #InformationSecurity #MSP #RoboShadow

Lately it feels as though every conversation about AI starts with another headline or prediction about where everything is heading. It can be hard to know what to pay attention to, especially when some of the discussion makes it sound like the rules have changed overnight. It's easy to assume the security landscape has suddenly become impossible to keep up with. But the reality is more measured and nuanced than headlines suggest. In one of our recent videos, our CEO, Terry Lewis, speaks about Anthropic's Mythos models, where they fit into the wider AI landscape, and what organisations should realistically be thinking about as these tools become more capable. 🔗 Watch the full video on YouTube: eu1.hubs.ly/H0x8mHP0 If you're trying to make sense of all the noise around AI and cyber security, we think you'll find it useful 😊 #CyberSecurity #AI #CyberRisk #MSP #InformationSecurity #RoboShadow # Anthropic #Mythos

AI has already changed how vulnerabilities are discovered, and the next challenge is in keeping up with the volume. Our CEO, Terry Lewis, touched on this in his conversation with GTIA - we're likely going to see a "tsunami" of CVEs as software vendors use AI to identify and fix security flaws at an unprecedented scale. Which is good news for improving software security, but it also creates a huge challenge: every newly discovered vulnerability still needs to be assessed, prioritised and patched. For MSPs and security teams, effective vulnerability and patch management will become even more critical as the pace of discovery continues to accelerate. If you're looking for a better way to stay ahead of these changes, or need support with anything, please do get in touch with us - the team are always ready and happy walk you through how RoboShadow can help 😊 #CyberSecurity #AI #VulnerabilityManagement #CVE #PatchManagement #DevSecOps #SoftwareSecurity #MSP #RoboShadow #GTIA #MSPShow

We're back with another clip from our interview with GTIA: There's a lot of discussion around the security risks that come with AI, but it's worth remembering that AI still has to interact with the environments we already manage. If an AI agent is interacting with your environment, it's making API calls, enumerating resources, changing configurations, and leaving activity behind - those are the kinds of activities SIEM and SOC platforms are designed to detect, giving security teams the visibility they need to respond. A few years ago, building a mature SOC was out of reach for many organisations because of the cost. Today, with platforms like Microsoft Sentinel, Defender and the growing MSP ecosystem, those capabilities are becoming much more accessible. As AI becomes part of day-to-day operations, security can't be something we bolt on afterwards. It needs to be part of how we build and deploy these systems from the start. #CyberSecurity #ArtificialIntelligence #MicrosoftSecurity #SOC #ThreatDetection #DefenderXDR #SecurityOperations #MSP

🎉 RoboShadow Summer Release: Mac & Linux agents are now in public Beta. Your estate isn't one operating system, so your security shouldn't be either.

What’s the reality of being an MSP? Too many tools, not enough visibility, and threats moving faster than most teams can remediate. That’s why finding the right partner is more important than ever. Our Founder and CEO, Terry Lewis, and Mostyn Thomas, Senior Director of Security EMEA at Pax8 sat down with Sophie Milburn at MSP Channel Insights to discuss trends and challenges for MSPs in 2026. A few of the insights: 💡 Tool sprawl: “MSPs don't like paying for overlapping software, that’s why RoboShadow is supporting other platforms and functionalities,” said Terry. 💡 Shortening remediation windows: "Bad actors can spot vulnerabilities in hours. Time is not on our side, and RoboShadow’s automation is a huge leap for MSPs." Mostyn 💡 What MSPs need: “RoboShadow is enterprise quality, but at small business price. And that's precisely what MSPs need.” Mostyn   Watch the full interview here ➡️eu1.hubs.ly/H0wRLsP0 #RoboShadow #Pax8 #MSP#MSPCommunity #CyberSecurity #VulnerabilityManagement #Remediation #AI #Automation

Anthropic's most powerful AI model was jailbroken in days. Then the US government gave them under 90 minutes to pull it worldwide. Here's where this differs from the usual "someone broke an LLM" story: Mythos was positioned as one of the world's most capable AI models, from the company whose entire brand is built around AI safety. It still cracked incredibly quickly. Fortunately, it appears the vulnerability was discovered by a friendly researcher - but it raises the obvious question: what if it hadn't been? Since we recorded our video, the US has officially lifted restrictions on Mythos / Fable 5 (as of July 1st). But we think the incident itself is still significant. It may be one of the clearest examples yet of how frontier AI models can trigger rapid government intervention and change the conversation around regulation. But the upside that no one seems to be talking about is that these same frontier models are helping developers identify and fix vulnerabilities across massive codebases. That could mean a huge wave of security improvements over the coming years.   Watch the full breakdown on YouTube: eu1.hubs.ly/H0wHzDN0   Do you think this was the beginning of a new era of AI oversight, or just a temporary setback for Anthropic? #AnthropicAI #ClaudeAI #Fable5 #AISafety #CyberSecurity #AIRegulation #TechNews
