According to an Institute for the Study of War (ISW) update, Ukrainian forces may be temporarily pausing counteroffensive operations to reevaluate their tactics for future operations. Head of the Estonian Defense Forces Intelligence Center Colonel Margo Grosberg stated on June 16 that he assesses "we won't see an offensive over the next seven days. ”The Wall Street Journal similarly reported on June 17 that Ukrainian forces “have mostly paused their advances in recent days” as Ukrainian command reexamines tactics. These reports are consistent with ISW’s recent observations of the scale and approach of localized Ukrainian counterattacks in southern and eastern Ukraine. ISW has previously noted that Ukraine has not yet committed the majority of its available forces to counteroffensive operations and has not yet launched its main effort. Operational pauses are a common feature of major offensive undertakings, and this pause does not signify the end of Ukraine’s counteroffensive.

The new report from ENISA titled, "A Multilayer Framework for Good Cybersecurity Practices for AI," highlights that the growing use of AI means that its security will become a key challenge for the future. According to ENISA Top 10 Emerging Cybersecurity Threats for 2030, misuse of AI will become a significant threat. State-sponsored operatives or cyber criminals who attack blockchain technology and issue deep fakes might not just exist in fiction. On its own, AI is not going to solve today’s or tomorrow’s complex societal, business or security challenges. However, AI’s ability to identify patterns and adaptively learn in real time as events warrant can accelerate detection, containment and response.

However, sustainability efforts can lower energy costs, save storage space, and help streamline operations and data management for greater productivity.”

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is particularly important to professionals in the fields of cybersecurity, information governance, and eDiscovery. In cybersecurity, OSINT can help to identify potential threats, such as new vulnerabilities or attack techniques, and provide organizations with the information they need to defend against them. In information governance, OSINT can be used to monitor and manage sensitive information, ensuring that it is protected and kept confidential. In eDiscovery, OSINT can help organizations to find and collect relevant information for legal or regulatory purposes.
