CrowdStrike has launched its AI Red Team Services, aiming to enhance the security of AI systems against rising cyber threats. As organizations rapidly adopt artificial intelligence, risks such as model tampering and data poisoning are increasing. The new service was announced at CrowdStrike’s premier user conference, Fal.Con Europe, provides comprehensive security assessments to identify vulnerabilities in AI systems, particularly Large Language Models. Key features include proactive defense mechanisms aligned with the OWASP Top 10 LLM attack techniques and tailored attack scenarios to test systems against relevant threats.
Microsoft has acknowledged that some instances of Windows Server 2019 and 2022 were unexpectedly upgraded to Windows Server 2025 due to mismanagement by third-party update tools. The company confirmed the issue via its Release Health Dashboard, advising users to check their update configurations. While the Windows Server 2025 feature update was marked as an optional release, some users experienced surprise installations, with reports indicating that even standalone servers were affected. Cybersecurity firm Heimdal highlighted that Microsoft had misclassified the update before it was retracted. Although the problem has been labeled as mitigated, Microsoft has not yet provided rollback tools, leaving administrators to rely on backups or potentially incur licensing costs for the new server version. The company is collaborating with third-party providers to enhance update procedures.
Microsoft is rolling out a significant update for Windows on Arm, enabling more x64 software and games to run through its Prism emulation. This update, part of the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 27744, is designed to work with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus processors. The enhancement allows these chips to run applications that lack native ARM64 versions, including popular titles like Starfield and Helldivers 2, which utilize processor extensions like AVX and AVX2. While many applications, such as Photoshop and Chrome, already have ARM64 versions, some still require emulation and may experience limitations. The emulator is currently in limited use on retail PCs, and while it supports 64-bit x86 software, 32-bit applications remain incompatible.
Box continues to evolve from a file-sharing platform into a comprehensive enterprise AI provider with the introduction of Box AI Studio and Box Apps. Announced at the BoxWorks event, Box AI Studio enables organizations to create custom AI agents tailored to their specific business needs, built on partnerships with major AI players like Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. CEO Aaron Levie highlighted that this marks a transformative moment, aiming for a revenue growth pathway from one billion to two billion by enhancing content management capabilities. Additionally, Box Apps allows enterprises to develop no-code applications directly within the Box environment, streamlining workflows such as contract management and invoice processing without the need for extensive custom development.
Why do we care?
CrowdStrike’s AI-focused security services underscore the need for tailored cybersecurity solutions as AI applications proliferate. As more enterprises incorporate AI, understanding and defending against unique AI security threats will become table stakes for cybersecurity firms and a critical focus for enterprise risk management.
The Windows on ARM update extends ARM’s reach in the enterprise, particularly as ARM’s efficiency gains attract interest from organizations focused on sustainability and cost reduction. I’m watching this closely as we track Intel’s decline.
