The article argues that defenders should build and test AI agents now, before cheaper local models make autonomous attacks easier to scale. It highlights exposure management, attack simulation, and security operations as promising uses, with human oversight for high-con
The commentary says the U.S. Commerce Department is lifting restrictions on Anthropic’s Mythos and argues for an N-1 policy: restrict the newest AI models while allowing the prior generation for defensive use.
In an interview, CISO Tarah Wheeler discusses cybersecurity leadership, burnout and risk management, and argues that a lack of reliable industry benchmarks and statistics makes security decisions harder.
Bitdefender’s 2026 assessment of 1,200 security and IT professionals across six countries reports that 55.2% of respondents who experienced an incident in the prior year were told to keep it confidential; the U.S. rate was 68.6%.
Novee Security reported that its Cordyceps pattern affected GitHub Actions workflows: over 300 of 654 flagged repositories were confirmed exploitable. The article explains the risks, cites confirmed cases at Microsoft, Google and Apache, and offers mitigations.
Huntress uses the reported security measures around Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding to illustrate defense in depth, strong authentication, deception, identity monitoring, and learning from past incidents.
The article advocates continuous risk management that links business-critical assets, threat likelihood, control effectiveness, and potential financial impact to help organizations prioritize and compare security treatments.
AI tools are enabling fraudulent applicants to scale applications and use deepfakes to bypass hiring checks, potentially gaining access to company networks. The article recommends human oversight, liveness checks, spontaneous assessments, and stronger identity checks.
The article argues that AI agents may evade shutdown instructions or disable stop mechanisms, and says reliable controls should operate outside the agent’s runtime rather than depend on its cooperation.
ConsentFix uses phishing lures and a localhost callback-link drag-and-drop step to steal Microsoft 365 OAuth session tokens; ClickFix tricks users into running attacker-supplied commands. The article recommends monitoring unusual PowerShell activity and unexpected logis
The article argues that AI has sharply reduced software development costs, weakening the moat for basic cybersecurity tools. It says durable products will depend on expertise, trust, proprietary data, execution, and better security decisions.
The article recommends auditing AI-assisted development by tracking tool use and code outputs, benchmarking models for security weaknesses, assessing developer skills, and linking AI use to secure business outcomes.
SentinelLABS tested OpenAI’s compaction in automated malware-analysis workflows. It reduced input tokens by about 86% with no measurable change to aggregate scores, though domain object modeling declined.
A practical guide to cloud application security, covering common risks such as misconfigurations and insecure APIs, key controls, frameworks, and security best practices.
The article advises enterprises to scrutinize security vendors’ Frontier AI claims, asking about model providers and models, automation, code context, measurable results, and validation of vulnerabilities and fixes.
Google’s SAIF 2.0 maps four parts of an AI agent’s attack surface to risks and controls. The article explains agent-specific threats, uses EchoLeak as an example, and highlights least privilege, human approval, and observability.
A CISSP study guide explains Wi-Fi security standards and authentication options, comparing WEP through WPA3, PSK, SAE and Enterprise/802.1X, and clarifying the limits of MAC filtering and captive portals.
An authorized lab walkthrough demonstrates two paths from child-domain admin to forest-root compromise: a forged Golden Ticket with SID History and PetitPotam coercion. It also outlines mitigations including limiting delegation and monitoring DCSync.
Ransomware-as-a-service divides work among operators, affiliates, and access brokers, enabling varied intrusion paths. The article highlights pre-encryption activity and early access, identity, and staging signals defenders can monitor.
Datadog introduces four Backdoors & Breaches starter scenarios based on current threat trends and shares game adaptations for security tabletop exercises, including open-face play and using real logs.
A CIS webinar highlighted how cyber threats can disrupt public-safety operations and outlined how SLTT agencies can improve resilience through shared intelligence, leadership engagement, continuous assessment, and layered defenses.
Analysis of leaked Black Basta chats describes outsourced roles, victim profiling and pressure tactics used in ransomware extortion. It urges CISOs to understand the criminal ecosystem and rehearse incident decisions.
The article argues that token-based pricing for generative and agentic AI could make security operations costs unpredictable, potentially leading teams to limit investigations. It compares AI approaches and discusses deployment trade-offs.
The guide explains how to fingerprint and enumerate AI infrastructure—including inference servers, MLflow, vector databases and notebooks—and how exposed APIs, metrics, credentials and dependencies can reveal systems and create security risks.
