Hi there,   Here's something from our research that stopped us in our tracks. The more tools a security team bolts on, the more threats slip past them, often ones an outsider spots first. Tool sprawl isn't just noise, it's a blind spot.   That's exactly the kind of finding Peter Brittliff and I will be unpacking live at "AI vs Alert Fatigue: How to Prioritize Real Threats and Accelerate Response" on Sept 29 at 1:00 PM PDT and Sept 30 at 10:00 AM AEST. We'll also cover what the fastest-responding teams are doing differently, and how to quantify your own team's "context gap" in the process.   If you haven't grabbed a spot yet, now's a good time: Register for AI vs Alert Fatigue → See you there!   Greg Pollock Director of Research and Insights UpGuard Inc., 650 Castro Street, Suite 120-387, Mountain View, CA 94041, United States, +1 888 882 3223 Unsubscribe Manage preferences

Web version |  Update preferences |  Forward Right fund structures can unlock investor capacity: Albertini Deploying ILS capital into cyber, AI, data centres requires right fund structures: Albertini, Leadenhall As cyber, data centres and artificial intelligence (AI) generate new material cumulations of risk, matching ILS capital to these emerging exposures requires the right fund structures to unlock investor capacity without compromising core portfolio value, Leadenhall Capital Partners CEO Luca Albertini highlighted to Artemis. Speaking to Artemis around the key conference season, Albertini acknowledged that while the insurance-linked securities (ILS) space has seen trajectory growth in recent years, the market still faces challenges regarding capital deployment and ensuring capital providers are adequately remunerated for the risks they take.

AI model choice matters. Independent verification matters more.

Top-performing models still leave meaningful exposure. Join the live webinar to see what security leaders should change now.

Webinar   Best Model: Better Results. Still Too Much Risk.   Even top-performing models leave too much exposure to treat model choice as a standalone control.   Register Now     Yes, model choice matters. No, it is not enough. The 2026 GenAI Code Security Report shows meaningful spread across leading AI models. But even the top performer does not generate securely enough to act as a control on its own. That shifts the conversation from tool preference to verification discipline. For security leaders, the implication is clear: software trust in the AI-coding era depends on controls outside the model. That includes continuous verification before release, policy enforcement across teams, supply chain protections for dependencies, and faster remediation when flaws are found. In this live webinar, get a break down of the strategic decisions security leaders should be making now: How to evaluate AI coding risk as part of enterprise risk management Where release-gate controls should tighten How to prioritize the risks that matter most and secure software faster If AI-generated code is already inside your SDLC, this is the webinar to attend before the next policy review, audit cycle, or executive risk conversation.     Register Now       36 Queen Street London, EC4R 1BN United Kingdom     emea@veracode.com      +44 (0)20 3761 5501 © 2026 Veracode Inc.

September 21, 2026   |   Read online Monday Briefing: Senior poverty surges to 15.4% as pandemic aid ends, healthcare costs soar; only demographic seeing rising poverty since 2020; payroll tax hike proposal; Medicare drug models fail; and more Catch up in minutes with your daily briefing on the Social Security, Medicare & Retirement news that affects you most. What to Know for Monday, September 21st, 2026: 1: Payroll tax rate hike proposal could cost median worker $2,617-$3,024 annually — fixing Social Security solvency through higher rates faces economic headwinds (Image Credit: USA Today) Proposed 1-percentage-point increase to Social Security payroll tax (from current 12.4% combined to 13.4% or higher) would generate revenue to close 2032 trust fund depletion gap — median full-time worker earning $61,583 facing $2,617-$3,024 annual tax increase depending on final rate: Tax Foundation analysis shows raising rates 1 point represents largest tax increase since 1982 — employees/employers each currently pay 6.2% on wages up to $184,500 cap — full rate increase would double burden on high earners exceeding cap who escape tax above $184,500 threshold — alternative proposals include eliminating wage cap ($184,500) or combining modest rate hike with cap elimination. Economic concerns about payroll tax rate increases: Tax Foundation economist William McBride warns high earners may respond by working less or reporting lower taxable wages, dampening economic growth: History shows no modern precedent for 1+ percentage point payroll tax increase creating uncertainty about behavioral responses — economists debate whether rate increase or wage-cap elimination creates less economic friction — congressional focus shifting toward combination approaches mixing revenue options (rate hike, cap elimination) with benefit-side changes (retirement age, formula adjustments) rather than single-lever solutions. Political gridlock delays decision while 2032 deadline approaches — six years remaining for Congress to act before automatic 22% benefit cut affects 60M+ beneficiaries: Payroll tax rate increase politically contentious because visible on every paycheck for all workers regardless of income level, unlike wage-cap elimination affecting only top 6% earners — working families already squeezed by inflation/healthcare costs oppose tax increases — bipartisan proposals circulating but White House not yet endorsing any specific fix heading into midterms. ➜ Read the full article from USA Today here. 2: Senior poverty surges to 15.4% as pandemic aid ends, healthcare costs soar — only demographic group seeing rising poverty rates annually since 2020 (Image Credit: Getty Images) Census Bureau's Supplemental Poverty Measure (accounting for taxes, housing, medical expenses) shows Americans 65+ poverty jumped from 9.4% (2020) to 15.4% (2025) — steepest increases among younger retirees ages 65-74: General US poverty rate actually declined to 10.2% in 2025, making seniors the only demographic group experiencing rising poverty trajectory annually for five consecutive years — millions live solely on Social Security benefits insufficient for daily costs, Medicare premiums, caregiving expenses — AARP Foundation president Claire Casey: "rising prices and eroding social safety net creating extreme precarity for older adults." Healthcare costs pushed 7.7 million Americans into poverty total, with 2.5 million aged 65+ — nursing home costs jumped from $111K to $130K annually 2022-2025: One major health crisis derails fixed-income budgets permanently — Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies finds one-third of older American households spend 30%+ of income on housing — seniors comprise 20% of nation's homeless population — NCOA estimates 45% of older households lack income for basic living costs; 80% unable to weather major shock (widowhood, serious illness, long-term care). Social Security preventing catastrophic poverty but inadequate as sole income source: Census Bureau credits Social Security with lifting 28.8 million from poverty in 2025 — without it, senior poverty would be significantly higher — but 2.8% COLA increase ($56 monthly for average beneficiary) offset by $17.90 Medicare Part B premium hike, widening gap between what seniors receive and what they actually spend — many seniors 80+ working minimum-wage jobs part-time just to afford food/heat — Q4 2032 automatic 22% benefit cut would push millions already vulnerable into severe poverty. ➜ Read the full article from Business Insider here. 3: Trump's GLOBE/GUARD Medicare drug models lose 71% of projected savings due to GENEROUS exemptions — international price benchmarking undercut by pharma deal-making (Image Credit: Getty Images) Trump administration's mandatory Medicare pricing models (GLOBE and GUARD) projected $5.2 billion annual savings Part B, $6.4 billion Part D through international price benchmarking — Lancet study shows 17 major pharmaceutical companies participating in voluntary GENEROUS Medicaid model exempt from Medicare programs, erasing 71% of estimated savings: GENEROUS allows participating drug manufacturers to access voluntary Medicaid "most-favored nation" pricing from 8 countries (Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, UK); those participating get automatic exemption from mandatory GLOBE/GUARD Medicare pilots — additional 9 companies since study published, suggesting savings loss likely exceeds 71% now. International benchmark pricing hampered by widespread non-transparency and deliberate price-hiding by foreign governments: France's Senate voted to block pharmaceutical net price transparency; Spain passed laws ensuring steep drug discounts stay hidden from CMS benchmarking efforts — most comparator countries refuse disclosing actual net prices — no reliable way exists to verify what foreign governments actually pay for medications — GENEROUS data collection methodology for international price indices remains shrouded in secrecy. Pharmaceutical manufacturers strategically limiting drug offerings under GENEROUS, conspicuously excluding GLP-1 medications from discounts: Only 25% of Medicare beneficiaries affected by GLOBE/GUARD pilots in select geographic areas not yet determined — Medicare beneficiaries could see 10% instead of standard 20% copays on eligible Part B drugs — GLOBE targets ~80 drugs starting Oct 1 2026; GUARD targets 170+ Part D drugs starting Jan 2027 — Trump administration's bold cost-savings claims vanish once manufacturer exemptions and limited drug participation accounted for.Make an Extra $250–$1,000 a Month From Home After 62 (Without Affecting Your Social Security Check) Make an Extra $250–$1,000 a Month From Home After 62 (Without Affecting Your Social Security Check) Visit our YouTube Channel This newsletter is for information only.
