A sponsored analysis argues that autonomous AI agents outpace fixed security workflows, especially when they inherit human credentials. It recommends a live identity foundation and environment-specific workflows; Token Security says over one-fifth of local agents have.}
Edna Conway discusses how AI may accelerate vulnerability discovery and exploitation, and how boards and CISOs can address cyber risk through resilience planning, business-focused communication, and cross-functional collaboration.
A lab walkthrough demonstrates how a standard domain account granted SeTcbPrivilege through Group Policy can use tcb-lpe to gain local administrator rights, and outlines auditing, monitoring, and least-privilege mitigations.
ADPathFinder combines BloodHound data with OpenGraph collectors to map privilege-escalation paths across AD, ADCS, MSSQL, and SCCM. It also audits cracked passwords with account and graph context and generates reports.
A cybersecurity manager argues that the field remains a strong career choice because demand is real, its breadth creates varied opportunities, and there are paths for people from different backgrounds. The article highlights GRC and privacy roles.
Huntress explains how ransomware intrusions can build through brokered access, identity abuse and trusted-tool misuse before encryption. The article cites six intrusions linked to an exposed Citrix gateway and summarizes 2025 threat trends.
The article examines US export controls on Anthropic’s Fable, the uncertainty surrounding the decision, and the security and business risks of relying on frontier AI. It recommends diversified models, fallback options, and resilient workflows.
The explainer describes how SAML AuthnContext and OpenID Connect AMR and ACR convey authentication methods and assurance levels, helping applications make access decisions and request stronger authentication for sensitive actions.
Aikido describes Intel’s package-monitoring pipeline, which combines static rules, sandbox analysis, AI and researcher review to flag malware, and tracks project changes to identify potential undisclosed vulnerabilities.
A lab tutorial shows how misdelegated SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege can let a standard domain user replace Utilman.exe or osk.exe and obtain SYSTEM access on a Windows domain controller; it also recommends policy restrictions, integrity monitoring, NLA and WDAC.
Jesse McGraw, formerly known as GhostExodus, discusses his criminal hacking, including unauthorized access to computers at a Dallas medical facility, and his later shift to legal OSINT work supporting online child safety.
The article argues that IaC coverage measures how much cloud infrastructure is governed and traceable through code, and proposes a funnel from resources that could be codified to those mapped to maintainable source code.
The article argues that AI-assisted development can increase security debt faster than teams can review and remediate it. It cites a Veracode report finding that AI coding tools produce insecure code nearly 45% of the time and recommends controls throughout development.
An analysis of the EU’s cybersecurity and AI action plan argues that Europe should expand independent AI security evaluation, build cyber-focused capabilities, and invest far more in its own AI and cybersecurity ecosystem.
An explainer compares full, incremental, and differential backups, describes electronic vaulting, remote journaling, and mirroring, and outlines how RPO and the 3-2-1 rule guide resilient backup planning.
A tutorial uses the Aircrack-ng MCP server with Claude Desktop for wireless testing in an authorized Kali lab, demonstrating WPA2 handshake capture, offline cracking and deauthentication, alongside defenses including WPA3-SAE and Protected Management Frames.
Three 2026 agent incidents illustrate how combining untrusted input, sensitive access, and the ability to act can enable persistent prompt injection, browser-mediated token theft, and API-key exposure.
CIS reviews five emerging risks to major events: drones, synthetic media, extremist attacks, digital ticketing vulnerabilities, and transportation sabotage, and describes planning measures for organizers and public safety officials.
A lab walkthrough demonstrates how granting a standard domain user SeDebugPrivilege can enable LSASS credential extraction or SYSTEM token abuse on a Windows Domain Controller, and outlines Group Policy, LSA Protection, Credential Guard, and monitoring defenses.
A cybersecurity practitioner argues that security teams should design controls around employees’ work, explain their value, and involve users in decisions. Examples include removable-media restrictions and a collaborative ZTNA rollout.
A practical guide to employee security-awareness programs recommends ongoing training, realistic phishing simulations, easy reporting, leadership support, and metrics to help reduce human-related security risks.
The 30-day deadline for agencies to establish an AI cybersecurity clearinghouse has passed. The article argues it should prioritize validating, triaging and patching vulnerabilities—not just finding them—and measure remediation outcomes.
The article explains how criminals and state-linked actors abuse Discord and Steam for phishing, malware delivery, stolen credentials, command-and-control, and money laundering, and how compromised gaming devices can expose enterprise access.
A beginner-focused guide explains how to recognize SYN floods, Smurf, Ping of Death, Teardrop, and Land attacks, highlighting identifying network patterns and basic countermeasures.
