Enterprise software shares rise; can they break through the SaaSpocalypse narrative?
Shares of enterprise software companies, which had been sliding as AI spread, have recently turned higher. Collaboration software firm Atlassian raised its annual outlook, helping lift sentiment across the software-as-a-service market. Investors are watching whether this shift will weaken the so-called “SaaSpocalypse” narrative that companies will build SaaS products themselves using AI, reducing demand. Some analysts say a rebound is possible after underperformance versus the broader market.

Kyber ransomware first confirmed to use post-quantum cryptography in apparent psychological tactic
Kyber ransomware has been identified as the first confirmed case of using post-quantum cryptography, drawing attention across the security industry, analysts said. Rapid7 said its review of a Windows variant found it protected encryption keys with ML-KEM1024, while files were encrypted with AES-256. Experts said the move appears aimed at psychological pressure and marketing impact rather than operational need. Some variants also made overstated claims about using ML-KEM.

Predictive security models hit limits as shadow AI SaaS risks rise
Security companies are issuing reports on cyber threat trends, and two drew attention this week from Rapid7 and Grip Security. Rapid7 said defenders are finding it harder to keep up as attackers weaponise disclosed vulnerabilities within days, leaving little time to patch. Grip Security warned that AI embedded in SaaS applications can create risks outside enterprise control, and a breach of one AI-enabled app can spread across other AI environments and potentially to other organisations.
