The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has unveiled a new national initiative aimed at helping critical infrastructure operators withstand and recover from major cyberattacks by preparing to operate in isolation from the internet and third-party dependencies.
The program, CI Fortify, is designed to ensure that organizations can continue delivering essential services even when their networks are degraded, disconnected, or under active cyberattack. “Resilience and reliability begin with planning and investing,” said acting CISA director Nick Andersen during a media briefing, emphasizing that operators must be ready to function even when cut off from external connectivity.

AI finds 20-year-old bugs in PostgreSQL and MariaDB
CSO Online 05.05.2026 11:53
Open-source databases are facing a bit of a memory problem as AI helps surface decades-old buffer overflow issues in widely used components. Security researchers have disclosed a set of high and critical-severity vulnerabilities affecting PostgreSQL and MariaDB, with two bugs reportedly tracing their roots back more than 20 years.
At Wiz’s zeroday.cloud hacking event, researchers using the AI-powered security analysis tool “Xint Code” found a high-severity zero-day bug in PostgreSQL’s “pgcrypto” extension, and a heap buffer overflow in MariaDB’s JSON schema validation logic, both allowing remote code execution (RCE) on respective database servers.
