📅 - Europol has backed an international operation that disrupted Sality, a peer-to-peer botnet linked to more than 11 million unique IP addresses after roughly two decades of activity. The takedown used sinkholing to sever infected systems from criminal control, while putting fresh pressure on hosting and IaaS providers to confront abuse moving through increasingly distributed infrastructure at scale.
The action, carried out on August 31 and led by US authorities with participation from Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania, targeted one of the more persistent botnet infrastructures still operating. CrowdStrike and the Shadowserver Foundation provided technical assistance. At its height, Sality gave [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - AI Data Center Spending Could Reach $31.6 Trillion by 2050, Says PwC - PwC expects global data center capital spending tied to AI infrastructure to reach $31.6 trillion through 2050, with annual investment rising from about $800 billion in 2026 to $1.8 trillion. The money will not flow evenly. Power availability, chip access, sovereignty rules, connectivity, security, and local permitting are increasingly deciding where capacity actually gets built at scale.
For data center operators, the headline number is less important than the composition of the spending. The infrastructure cycle is expected to become increasingly dominated by servers, accelerators, networking equipment, and other ICT hardware that requires replacement every few years. Buildings last.

📅 - Console Acquisition Brings AI Agents Deeper Into Palo Alto Networks Security Stack - Palo Alto Networks has acquired Console, adding an AI-native agent platform to Cortex as the cybersecurity vendor tries to move security operations beyond dashboards and ticket queues toward automated investigation and remediation. The deal lands alongside sharply higher quarterly revenue and recurring security sales, giving Palo Alto Networks financial room to deepen its platform strategy through acquisitions.
Console is meant to let users interact with operational data using natural language and construct agents that can investigate signals, prioritize work, and take actions across enterprise systems. Palo Alto Networks plans to bring those capabilities into Cortex, where automation is [...]
📅 - AI Infrastructure Scales Faster Than UK Firms Can Monitor It - UK enterprises are scaling artificial intelligence infrastructure faster than they can reliably explain why it fails, exposing a widening gap between executive confidence and engineering reality. New survey data published by Virtana shows 53% lack full observability across AI environments, while infrastructure teams report far weaker diagnostic capabilities than senior leaders believe they possess during production incidents today at scale.
The figures matter because British companies are no longer treating artificial intelligence as a laboratory project. Fifty nine percent of surveyed enterprises say they are scaling AI across teams, while another 17% are running early production [...]
📅 - Netskope Revenue Rises 29% as AI Security and SASE Expand - Netskope's second-quarter revenue rose 29% to $220.5 million, while annual recurring revenue reached $899 million as enterprises continued spending on SASE, AI security and cloud-delivered controls. The stronger quarter follows two June launches aimed at widening that infrastructure role – a new MSP program for faster service delivery and an AI Command Center for discovering and governing enterprise AI activity.
The financial growth is one part of a broader shift in how Netskope is positioning itself. Its platform increasingly sits between users, applications, data, cloud services and AI systems, inspecting traffic and enforcing policy across distributed environments rather than [...]
