As of: August 3, 2026 A disclosed vulnerability (CVE-2026-17583) affects Thermo Fisher’s Applied Biosystems Human Identification Software. Severity: High (CVSS v4 8.2) Researchers found that certain DNA data files could potentially be modified without detection if laboratory security controls are bypassed. Thermo Fisher has released security updates that also add digital signatures to verify file integrity. There are no known cases of exploitation at this time. Three end-of-l

The Bioeconomy Information Sharing and Analysis Center (BIO-ISAC) today announced the coordinated disclosure of a critical cybersecurity vulnerability affecting the Eppendorf BioFlo 320 bioreactor system. The vulnerability has been assigned CVE-2026-7251 by CISA.

This March, BIO-ISAC was invited to join colleagues from the Council on Strategic Risks and the Engineering Biology Research Consortium for a Hill briefing. "Rapid advances at the intersection of biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and automation are opening a new frontier for US innovation and security. Cloud laboratories—digitally connected, automated facilities that execute biological experiments remotely and often in conjunction with AI Agents—are expanding research c

This April, BIO-ISAC joined colleagues in the UK for a horizon scanning workshop focused on cyberbiosecurity. Hosted on behalf of the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology at King's College London, academics and industry leaders joined the event to share scenarios and explore the boundaries, issues, and urgent needs facing the intersection of cybersecurity and biology. Invited participants were tasked with sharing insights regarding the cybersecurity protections,
