Microsoft has finally delivered on its promise to integrate Sysmon -- the long-standing system monitoring tool from its Sysinternals suite -- directly into Windows, a move that should make life considerably easier for enterprise administrators who have struggled with deploying and managing the utility across thousands of endpoints.
The functionality landed this week in Windows Insider builds 26300.7733 (Dev channel) and 26220.7752 (Beta channel). Sysmon allows administrators to capture system events through custom configuration files, filter for specific activity, and pipe the data into standard Windows event logs for pickup by security tools and SIEM pipelines. Mark Russinovich, Microsoft technical fellow and Winternals co-founder, has previously noted the lack of official customer support for Sysmon in production environments -- a gap this integration addresses. The feature ships disabled by default and requires PowerShell to enable. Microsoft notes that any existing Sysmon installation must be uninstalled before activating the built-in version.

It was a “major failing” for Joel Cauchi’s former psychiatrist not to recognise he had relapsed in the lead up to the Bondi Junction stabbings in 2024, a coroner has found.
The state coroner, Teresa O’Sullivan, handed down her findings in an 837-page report on Thursday after she had delayed its release following the Bondi beach terror attack in December.

Het New START-verdrag loopt donderdag af, waardoor zowel Moskou als Washington formeel niet langer gebonden zijn aan een reeks beperkingen op hun nucleaire arsenalen. Dit "had niet op een slechter moment kunnen komen: het risico dat een kernwapen wordt gebruikt, is het hoogst in decennia", zei Guterres, zonder daarover uit te weiden.
Rusland en de VS beschikken samen over meer dan 80 procent van de kernkoppen in de wereld.
Het pact New START, dat in 2010 werd ondertekend, beperkte het nucleaire arsenaal van elke partij tot 1550 ingezette strategische kernkoppen. Het verdrag stond beide partijen ook toe inspecties ter plaatse uit te voeren van elkaars nucleaire arsenaal, hoewel deze tijdens de coronapandemie werden opgeschort en sindsdien niet zijn hervat.
