Acceptable AI use at work: a practical policy for SMEs

New guide on shadow AI: what happens when staff use unsanctioned AI chatbots with company or client data, and how to get ahead of it in five steps ending in a one-page acceptable-use policy. Covers data classification, an approved-tool list, the EU labelling duties that apply from 2 August 2026, and the MSP angle: offer the policy as a deliverable that maps to classification and policy controls you already manage.

AI-generated content: the EU labelling rules explained

New plain-language guide to Article 50 of the EU AI Act: who counts as provider versus deployer, what must be labelled from 2 August 2026, and what the European Commission's Code of Practice of 10 June 2026 adds as the voluntary low-risk path. The Munich Regional Court ruling of 28 May 2026 (AI Overviews are Google's own content) frames the liability backdrop: AI's words are your words.

Phishing: ClickFix, the attack that asks you to paste a command

Added a section on ClickFix lures: fake human-verification and fake-update pages that talk you into pasting a malicious command into your own machine, with the March 2026 breach of the Dutch municipality of Epe (871 GB exfiltrated, investigation published 5 June 2026) as the case study. The rule: no legitimate check ever asks you to paste a command.

Two-factor authentication: when MFA itself is attacked

Added a section on attacks against multi-factor authentication: Tycoon 2FA proxy phishing (dismantled by Europol and Microsoft in March 2026), helpdesk-reset social engineering (April 2026 UK retail attacks), and the Epe lesson that break-glass emergency accounts need MFA too. Defenses: phishing-resistant MFA, strict callback verification, no MFA-exempt accounts.

Updated

Incident response: break-glass accounts and detection speed

Added a callout on emergency (break-glass) accounts as attack surface, with MFA and monitoring on them, and on detection speed: in the Epe case the intrusion was detected after two days, when 871 GB had already left. Watching what leaves your network matters as much as the perimeter.

Patch management: what a real month looks like

Added a concrete example block: the Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium issued a critical advisory every weekday from 4 to 7 May 2026, and the week of 9 June 2026 brought a 206-fix Patch Tuesday, a critical Veeam backup-server flaw and an actively exploited Check Point VPN flaw. The takeaway: this volume is normal, so patching needs a standing weekly rhythm plus a 48-hour fast lane for actively exploited flaws.

Updated

Backup: patch your backup software first

Added a section on the backup server as the highest-value patch target, using Veeam CVE-2026-44963 (disclosed 9 June 2026, CCB warning 10 June 2026, rated 9.4 out of 10): any signed-in domain user could run code on a domain-joined backup server. Ransomware crews destroy backups first; patch within 48 hours, consider workgroup mode, keep one copy offline or immutable.

Updated

AI threats: AI output is now a legal matter

Added a section on the Munich Regional Court decision of 28 May 2026 (case 26 O 869/26): AI Overviews are Google's own content and the search-engine liability shield does not apply, plus the EU AI Act labelling obligations that apply from 2 August 2026. The flip side for businesses: AI's words are your words. Also added links to the new acceptable-AI-use and AI-content-labelling guides.

Updated

Why AI alone can't reach compliance: the shadow-AI gap

Added a section on shadow AI as a compliance gap nobody scoped: unsanctioned chatbot use with company or client data, why an inventory of the AI tools actually in use is the first step and itself evidence, and the Article 50 labelling duties from 2 August 2026 that you cannot meet for AI output you do not know exists.

NIS2 Compliance Software Pricing: what you actually pay

New comparison guide that breaks down the four pricing models for NIS2 compliance software (per-organisation, per-client MSP, enterprise GRC, consultancy plus tooling), explains what drives the cost, and publishes Easy Cyber Protection's full MSP tiers and per-client brackets in the open. Most platforms hide pricing behind "contact sales"; this page shows the numbers and walks through total cost of ownership, including internal time and the separate CAB audit fee.

Patch Management: added June 2026 Palo Alto and FreePBX zero-days

Added two current examples to the Recent Zero-Day Examples section: Palo Alto PAN-OS GlobalProtect CVE-2026-0257 (CVSS 7.8 authentication bypass, actively exploited, CCB advisory and CISA deadline 1 June 2026) and FreePBX CVE-2026-46376 (CVSS 9.1 hard-coded credentials, CCB advisory 1 June 2026, fixed in 16.0.45 / 17.0.7).

Antivirus Comparison: when the security tool is the target

Added an EDR-section callout for the May 2026 wave where the security software itself was attacked: Trend Micro Apex One (CVE-2026-34926, on CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue from 21 May 2026) was abused to turn the management server into a malware-delivery channel, and Microsoft fixed two Defender flaws granting full system rights (CVE-2026-41091) or silently blocking antivirus definition updates (CVE-2026-45498). The lesson: patch the security tool itself, protect its management console with multi-factor authentication, and confirm updates reach every device.

Supplier Security: Belgian waste-authority supply-chain case

Added a 2026 Belgian case to the supply-chain breach examples: in May 2026 the Beerse and Merksplas recycling parks (run by the Kempen inter-municipal waste authority IOK) were knocked offline by an attack on an external IT supplier, while IOK's own systems stayed intact. A concrete local illustration of why NIS2 treats supply-chain risk management as an explicit obligation.

Done-For-You NIS2 Scope link added to 17 articles

Contextual inbound links to the new Done-For-You NIS2 Scope & Baseline Report (€395 flat, 48-hour turnaround, ex VAT) added in-content to 12 new NIS2 / CyberFundamentals / getting-started / industry / compare articles, on top of the 5 NIS2 cluster pages already wired. Anchors vary by page (NIS2 Scope & Baseline Report, Done-For-You scope assessment, €395 scope report, scope-determination service, written scope read) to avoid anchor-text over-optimisation. Each link sits where the reader is most likely to ask "do I need this for my own company?": for example after the CyFun tiers table, after a Phase 1 scope checklist, or after a sector classification breakdown.

Why AI alone can't reach full NIS2 / CyFun compliance

New guide for MSPs and SME owners evaluating "AI compliance" vendors. Names what AI can do (control mapping, evidence templates, regulatory tracking, audit-pack structuring) and what it cannot (decide scope, physically verify reality, judgment calls, take responsibility). Includes a red-flag checklist for spotting vendors selling a demo, and the right division of labour between AI, the MSP and the CAB auditor.

ECP vs ReCyF (France): CyFun vs the French NIS2 Framework

New head-to-head comparison with ANSSI's Référentiel Cyber France (ReCyF v2.5, March 2026). Covers legal status (binding once Loi Résilience is enacted, expected H2 2026), structure (15 objectives EI / 20 EE), entity coverage (10k-15k French entities), and compliance cost (€100-200K direct vs €100-400/month via ECP MSP service).

What is Ransomware?

Added a 5th exfiltration-attack case: SafePay + ETTP (May 6, 2026). SafePay explicitly disavows the ransomware-as-a-service model, runs every operation in-house, and openly targets SMBs, MSPs and organisations with downstream partner networks across the US and Western Europe (400+ claimed victims since September 2024). ETTP is the fourth named Belgian victim in five weeks — Fountain (DragonForce, w15), Anderlues (TheGentlemen, w17), Van Heyghen + ISoSL (APT73, w18), now ETTP — making "one named Belgian victim per week" a documented 2026 pattern.

Patch Management: Protect Against Zero-Days

Added a 6th zero-day case: the CCB patch wave of May 4-7, 2026. Belgium's Centre for Cybersecurity issued a critical "patch immediately" advisory every weekday for four consecutive days — MOVEit Automation CVE-2026-4670 (auth bypass, CVSS 9.8, same product family as Clop 2023), n8n critical, Apache HTTP Server multi-RCE, and Ivanti EPMM authenticated RCE actively exploited. Concrete textbook example for the 48-hour-response rule the article already advocates.

What is the CCB?

Added a 2025 entry to the CCB history timeline: 635 incident notifications recorded — up 70% year on year. 556 cyber-related, 144 account-compromise cases (top category), 105 ransomware. Public administration and healthcare are the most-targeted sectors. Sourced from the CCB's own 2025 figures release.

Incident Response: Recovery Playbook

Extended the Temse vs Anderlues "fast-detection-wins" case with a Belgian baseline bookend: the CCB recorded 635 incident notifications in 2025 (+70% YoY), 144 account-compromise cases as the top category and 105 ransomware. Frames detection capability as the only variable that bends the recovery curve as the threat baseline shifts.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Explained

Real Impact callout extended with the second 2026 MFA-bypass pattern: helpdesk vishing. Names Scattered Spider / DragonForce hitting Marks & Spencer, the Co-op and Harrods in April 2026 by phoning the IT helpdesk impersonating an employee and asking for an MFA reset. Defence is now framed as procedural ("never reset MFA without an out-of-band callback to a verified phone number") plus the technical (FIDO2/passkeys).

Social Engineering Attacks

Vishing entry expanded to cover the 2026 helpdesk-vishing escalation: the same English-speaking Scattered Spider / DragonForce affiliate behind the M&S, Co-op and Harrods incidents (April 2026, UK Cyber Monitoring Centre Category-2 event, £270M-£440M projected losses). Defence framed as a strict callback rule, not a security-awareness poster.

Cybersecurity for Retail

Added a 5th common-threat entry: Helpdesk Vishing & Identity-Provider Attacks. Frames the M&S (April 22) + Co-op (April 30) + Harrods 9-day cyber-hurricane in April 2026 with the DragonForce / Scattered Spider playbook. Includes UK Cyber Monitoring Centre Category-2 classification (£270M-£440M projected losses) and the M&S online-store closure of nearly seven weeks.

Updated

What is Ransomware?

Added a 2nd "How does ransomware spread?" method: bought infostealer credentials. Frames the 2026 reality that ransomware operators do not earn the front door, they buy it. Hudson Rock data on the APT73 / Bashe leak site (141 victims since April 2024, including Belgian victims Van Heyghen Staal and ISoSL listed April 27, 2026) shows ~44% of APT73 victims had prior infostealer infections. References the LeakBase market that Belgium and Europol dismantled in March 2026 (142,000 users).

Cybersecurity for IT Partners

New FAQ entry on RMM-tool urgency: "My RMM tool just got a critical CVE — should I patch it tonight?" Names ConnectWise ScreenConnect CVE-2024-1708 added to the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on April 28, 2026. Frames RMM, remote-access agents and any tool with admin privileges across multiple tenants as Tier-0 infrastructure: same-day patching, credential rotation, and session hunt back to February.

Employee Security Training Guide

New training topic added (Critical priority): Helpdesk Vishing & MFA Reset Drills. Includes the 2026 attack pattern, the strict callback rule, a drill scenario ("IT calls and asks for your MFA code — what do you do?"), and the M&S / Co-op / Harrods April 2026 anchor.

The Real Cost of a Data Breach

New problem-section bullet on the enterprise scale-up: Marks & Spencer projects ~£376M in profit losses from its April 2026 incident; UK Cyber Monitoring Centre put the combined M&S + Co-op damage at £270M-£440M. Frames the damage-to-defence-spend ratio as the same at every business size — only the absolute number scales with revenue.

Incident Response

Added a dated "fast detection wins" example in the Signs section: Temse (East Flanders, April 16-23, 2026, VRT NWS) caught unauthorised remote-monitoring software and contained it in 5 days with CCB + Polis support. Contrast with Anderlues (Hainaut, April 20, 2026, RTBF) where slower detection ended on the TheGentlemen leak site.

What is Ransomware?

Added TheGentlemen + Anderlues (April 20, 2026, RTBF) to the exfiltration-only examples and named the 2026 pattern: Belgian communes and gemeentes are a preferred target because IT staff and budget are limited while public-facing services cannot simply go offline.

What is Phishing?

New section added: Fake-Breach Extortion. Covers the April 21, 2026 Bol.com case (Security.NL, RetailDetail) where a crime-forum seller listed 400,000 fabricated "customer records" padded with AI-generated rows and stitched onto older breach data. Bol confirmed no incident. Playbook: validate sample data against your schema before you deny, because denying fast on bad data is nearly as damaging as confirming fast.
