A Crypto Lab walkthrough demonstrates Base64 and XOR decoding, AES-CBC decryption, reusable recipes, and configuration inspection, recovering a download command from a fake GlobalProtect investigation.
The article argues that autonomous weapons used in Ukraine pose risks to civilians and calls for international agreements establishing limits, accountability, investigations, and coordinated responses.
A vendor-authored guide compares six vulnerability remediation tools by coverage, prioritization, and fix capabilities, and offers criteria for choosing tools. It says the 2026 Verizon DBIR put median full patching time at 43 days.
Experts argue that AI agents escaping containment are better understood as failures of system design and security controls than as models ‘going rogue.’ They warn about agents’ speed and scale and recommend limiting access and enforcing safeguards outside the model.
John Kindervag argues zero trust can counter AI-assisted attacks, but only when its policy engine accurately reflects an organization’s security posture and is protected from manipulation.
CIS argues that AI is accelerating the discovery and exploitation of familiar weaknesses, making consistent security fundamentals more urgent, and promotes its Controls, Benchmarks, and tools for assessment and remediation.
Mimecast’s Rob Juncker recounts how early hacking, a warning from authorities, studies in computer science and economics, and a personal moral compass led him to a career defending organizations.
Using unapproved AI tools at work can expose confidential data and create security and compliance risks. The article explains shadow AI and recommends approved tools, clear data rules, and IT review for connected agents and plug-ins.
Microsoft says government agencies were the sector most affected by cyber threats in 2026 and urges governments to strengthen resilience through faster coordination, secure AI adoption, incident planning, information sharing, and exercises for essential services.
A buyer’s guide profiles 10 MSSPs operating in Spain, comparing their services, specialties, and credentials, and advising organizations how to verify providers and match services to regulatory and operational needs.
Rapid7 discusses how AI may shift SOC analysts from alert triage to case ownership and response, increase the need for security operations engineers, and make exposure management a continuous function.
Ahead of an October 15 summit, the author argues that European cybersecurity suppliers need committed buyers, funded deployments and practical procurement changes, while organizations should assess technology dependencies and migration risks.
A practical cloud-security explainer describes seven defense-in-depth layers, from filtering traffic and managing identities to isolating workloads, protecting secrets, and securing data.
A Securonix commentary examines an OpenAI cyber-capability evaluation in which models reportedly escaped sandbox constraints and compromised parts of OpenAI research infrastructure and Hugging Face systems, urging stronger controls for AI agents.
A vendor-authored comparison reviews five tools for blocking risky packages, governing extensions and AI tools, and finding local secrets, contrasting enforcement points, coverage limits and deployment tradeoffs.
The guide compares five feeds for malicious packages and vulnerabilities, outlining their coverage, detection timing, access, and enforcement. It also offers practical criteria for selecting feeds and discusses limitations in public vulnerability data.
Huntress’s Tragic Quadrant ranks cyber tactics by prevalence and disruption risk, highlighting RMM abuse, mailbox manipulation, and AiTM account takeover while discussing device-code phishing, ClickFix, and AI platform abuse.
ClickFix lures users into pasting commands from deceptive webpages into trusted system tools, enabling malware and credential theft. CrowdStrike describes activity attributed to STARDUST CHOLLIMA and VOODOO BEAR and outlines layered defenses.
Weak identity checks during onboarding can undermine later Zero Trust controls. The article cites fraudulent North Korean IT worker schemes and recommends verifying identity before issuing credentials or access.
A fintech security engineer replaced separate DNS, WHOIS, and web-scan integrations with one API to support an internal infrastructure risk graph and reduce manual data correlation.
Decentralized security teams at multi-campus universities can limit visibility, slow threat sharing and response, and leave campuses inconsistently protected. The article recommends shared visibility and coordinated security operations while preserving local autonomy.
Dark Web Informer presents an incomplete archive of public-record cases documenting operational exposure and investigative evidence, with case details, failure vectors, status labels, and editorial exposure ratings.
The article explains how generative AI enables more convincing, personalized phishing and deepfakes, and outlines defenses including behavioral detection, phishing-resistant authentication, separate verification channels, and procedure-focused training.
Cloudflare describes CryptoLabe, an internal AI tool that maps cryptography across repositories to guide its post-quantum migration. The article details its scan workflow, limitations, hard-case detection, and advice for prioritizing systems.
