DevSecOps Becomes Essential for Modern Government IT
As AI-assisted development accelerates delivery timelines, it's also introducing new risks, with vulnerability disclosures related to AI-assisted development skyrocketing in 2026 and leaving security leaders scrambling to harden defenses. With adversaries using AI to fuel attacks, the need for DevSecOps has never been more pressing.

CERT-EU has confirmed an intrusion affecting mobile device management systems within the European Commission’s IT environment.
While containment was rapid and no devices were compromised, the potential exposure of staff contact data underscores the growing focus on management and orchestration layers as attack surfaces - especially in government environments.

Recent reporting alleges multiple data exposures across Mexican government systems, affecting a broad range of public institutions.
If confirmed, the situation illustrates recurring challenges in public-sector security architecture, data segregation, and incident response coordination.
From an InfoSec perspective, this reinforces the need for layered defenses, regular audits, and breach containment planning.

Again, I must protest that the official website for making Parliamentary submissions has hard dependencies on proprietary scripts served from domains owned by Goggle; google.com and gstatic.com
So a known DataFarmer has a number of potential backdoors into a system that is recording people's contact details and political views. Considering the role tech corporations are playing in the new USAmerican fascism, the wisdom of this is even more questionable.

Now it would be remiss of me not to groan about the Parliament.govt.nz website. Specifically, demanding I run JavaScript from at least 2 different Goggle-controlled domains, before I could click the 'Submit' button to send in my recommendations.
That's right. On a government website we *have* to use to make official comments on potential legislation. Two domains owned by a corporate DataFarmer. Just to make *one* button work.
There are no word.

When I was with my state's #CyberSecurity division, I made this point all the time: there are two distinct #infosec functions in State Government.
The first is good 'ol enterprise information security, no different from if it said "Dominos Pizza" over the door.
Then there is the role of government in the #CyberDefense of residents, businesses, and critical infrastructure.
Two very different skillsets and focuses.
