Microsoft has given Windows 10 home users one more year of free security updates. The Windows 10 ESU (Extended Security Updates) program for personal PCs is now extended to 12 October 2027, not 13 October 2026. There was no big announcement. Microsoft changed its documentation and added a note to a blog post, so it is easy to have missed it. The old cut-off is less than two weeks away. In this guide, I’ll show what changed, what to do for your PC, and what ESU still does not cover. Windows 10 ESU for personal PCs now runs to 12…

AI agents can review financial statements, monitor covenant compliance, and flag unusual transactions at a speed that manual teams can’t match. Yet these systems may also process account details, borrower records, and confidential deal documents, which makes weak access controls or careless data handling especially costly. Financial firms need security measures that cover the full AI lifecycle, from selecting a model and connecting data sources to monitoring outputs after deployment. The Rise of AI in Financial Operations Financial teams are adopting AI agents to handle document-heavy work such as financial spreading, contract review, portfolio monitoring, and risk screening. An agent…

Modern AI agents are not single systems. They combine a reasoning model, task instructions, external tools and permission controls that determine what the agent may actually do. Platforms such as Agensi focus on the skills layer, where developers can add reusable instructions for tasks such as code review, testing and Git automation. Understanding how these layers interact is important because an agent becomes more capable as more systems are connected to it, but every added capability also creates another point that needs to be controlled. In short: the four layers of a safer AI agent stack A safer AI agent…

Prompt injection doesn’t break AI systems the way a buffer overflow breaks code. It convinces them to behave differently. And that difference—between what you designed the agent to do and what an attacker just made it do—is where the damage happens. Most custom agents built right now are wide open to this because teams treat prompts like config files instead of attack surfaces. Prompt injection attacks manipulate AI agents by embedding malicious instructions into user inputs or retrieved content, causing the agent to leak data, execute unauthorized functions, or spread instructions to other connected systems. Defense requires layered input validation,…

The EDB file contains crucial data related to the mailbox, such as emails, attachments, contacts, calendar, and other mailbox items. However, if the EDB file becomes corrupt or the Exchange database does not mount, then you can lose crucial mailbox data. The Exchange Server also has in-built utilities, such as Eseutil, which can be used to verify the integrity of the database and perform certain recovery tasks. Nevertheless, Eseutil is a command-line tool and cannot do everything in each case of EDB corruption. If you prefer an easier way of recovering mailbox data, there is also an online Exchange EDB…

In today’s business world, security matters more than ever, and AI is becoming a key partner in keeping companies safe. As threats increase, using artificial intelligence in security measures helps companies act before problems arise. Imagine stopping security breaches before they happen, creating a safer workplace to protect valuable data and assets. AI provides new ways to tackle security challenges, changing how businesses protect their operations. From analyzing data to monitoring events in real-time, the possibilities are extensive. Here’s how you can use AI technology to improve your business security. Smart Surveillance Modern security cameras have improved significantly. Today’s AI-powered…

Deploying an OS to one laptop is a quick task. But deploying OSs to two hundred laptops becomes a much bigger problem, especially when it involves multiple hardware vendors, adding them to a domain, migrating user data and adding several branch offices with limited WAN bandwidth. Although deployment tools have evolved, the challenges remain the same: Diverse hardware, bandwidth constraints, user migration, inconsistent configurations and pressure to deploy devices quickly. This article explores six common OS deployment challenges and discusses practical ways to address them with the capabilities available in ManageEngine OS Deployer. 1. Maintaining separate images for different hardware…
