But, again, there are some semantics at play here as the research also reveals that 21 percent are “largely ready”. Chen said that it was hard to process the details. “Looking at the timeline, these are multi-year projects. The very fact that they are talking about strategy implies something that is looking into the future.” Gogia said that the 5 percent claim depends entirely on how readiness is defined. “If readiness means awareness, then the figure is…

If we heed the warnings of industry forecasts, 2026 will be the year of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven technical debt: The tech debt for 75 percent of companies will rise to a “moderate” or “high” level of severity this year due to the rapid expansion of AI, according to Forrester. This extends to the software development community, which is seeing a near-ubiquitous presence of AI-coding assistants as teams face pressures to generate more output in less time.

Ravie LakshmananFeb 12, 2026Cybersecurity / Hacking News Threat activity this week shows one consistent signal — attackers are leaning harder on what already works. Instead of flashy new exploits, many operations are built around quiet misuse of trusted tools, familiar workflows, and overlooked exposures that sit in plain sight. Another shift is how access is gained versus how it’s used. Initial entry points are getting simpler, while post-compromise activity is becoming more deliberate, structured, and persistent. The objective is less about disruption and more about staying embedded long enough to extract value. There’s also growing overlap between cybercrime, espionage tradecraft,…
