A Black Hat 2026 recap argues that AI-agent security increasingly depends on securing connected systems, tools, credentials, and permissions—not just models—because prompt injection and conventional software flaws can lead to broader compromise.
The author argues that regulated enterprises may require open-source projects to demonstrate active maintenance and accountability, with stewardship, retirement paths, and vendors helping manage support and migration.
The article identifies Claude Code artifacts on Windows, including configuration, plugin, and project-history files. It describes how timestamps, session details, agent responses, and tool-use records may help investigators reconstruct activity.
Matthew Rosenquist argues that strong engineering skills alone are insufficient to secure frontier AI systems, and urges companies to involve experienced cybersecurity practitioners in architecture and development.
A CIS CISO argues that AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery faster than organizations can validate and fix issues, and recommends prioritizing by exploitability, exposure, and reachability while proving non-applicability and isolating risk.
CIS and ConnectSecure offer a four-day virtual bootcamp to help cybersecurity practitioners assess and improve cyber hygiene using the 56 CIS IG1 Safeguards.
Ransomware leak sites publish victim claims and stolen-data samples to pressure organizations into paying. The article explains how groups use them, how defenders monitor them, and measures that can reduce ransomware exposure.
A beginner’s guide to SIEM explains how it correlates logs from multiple sources to surface suspicious activity, why alert tuning and selective log collection matter, and why analysts must investigate alerts.
ReliaQuest offers four criteria for assessing agentic AI security tools: autonomous SOC work, relevant threat intelligence, coverage across existing systems without forced data centralization, and plain-language operation.
An explainer on AI harnesses describes how orchestration, validation and sandboxing affect agent security, and recommends layered controls such as tool mediation, network allow-lists and separating planning from execution.
A guide to Zero Trust security explains continuous verification, least-privilege access, monitoring, and steps organizations can take to protect critical assets across on-premises and cloud environments.
Acronis argues that MSPs need fleet-wide health visibility and verified recovery for RMM, backup, anti-malware, EDR and related services, while clarifying that full agent-health auto-remediation remains a future direction.
A lab walkthrough shows how Impacket `reg` can use authenticated SMB access to enumerate and modify a Windows registry, export credential hives, enable RDP and establish Run-key persistence, alongside defensive monitoring and hardening guidance.
An analysis of cyber operations as support for geopolitical and kinetic conflict, using Venezuela, Iran, Ukraine and Taiwan to argue that espionage, disruption and pre-positioning can shape military action but have not independently secured kinetic victories.
PromptSpy is a conceptual simulation of multi-agent email workflows, showing how contextual information may influence downstream AI assistants differently from human readers. It highlights orchestration risks and suggests validating and isolating inter-agent context.
Elastic says its AI pipeline triaged HackerOne vulnerability reports for about $2 each and agreed with human decisions 85% of the time in retrospective testing on 764 reports. It uses isolated ephemeral VMs, adversarial review, and human approval.
Push Security argues that AI-generated phishing, fast-rotating infrastructure and fragmented kits undermine blocklists, advocating browser-session visibility and technique-level detection. Its examples and customer-protection figures are vendor claims.
The article examines disclosures of AI agents carrying out supply-chain attacks, publishing malware and breaching infrastructure, and argues that their lack of persistent identity complicates attribution, deterrence and incident response.
An explainer outlines enterprise AI security risks, including shadow AI, stale indexed data and indirect prompt injection, and recommends operational controls for access, data handling and oversight.
Recorded Future argues that an OpenAI evaluation in which AI agents reached Hugging Face systems exposed failures in containment and oversight, and urges organizations to restrict agent permissions, monitor actions, and enforce safeguards beyond model behavior.
The article argues that CASB and DLP may miss risks arising from prompt context, AI responses, and agent actions, and recommends interaction-level inspection alongside app discovery and access controls.
Ping Identity CISO Russ Kirby says passion for cybersecurity and support from peers help him avoid burnout. He discusses team leadership, hiring for enthusiasm, proactive security work and concerns about rapid AI adoption.
The article explains how zero-knowledge proofs could let infrastructure operators verify vulnerability findings without sharing raw scans. FDD tested the approach using anonymized data from three environments; the authors recommend limited pilots before broader adoption
Elastic describes a benchmark for agentic SOC models that grades tool use and grounded workflow execution across security tasks, alongside Attack Discovery and SIEM-rule migration; it says model rankings vary by capability.
