A sponsored Token Security article argues that autonomous AI agents can accumulate poorly governed identities and excessive access, increasing the risk of unauthorized actions. It recommends distinct agent identities, scoped access, ownership, lifecycle controls and rev
ConsentFix tricks Microsoft 365 users into dragging a localhost callback link into a browser, exposing OAuth tokens that can let attackers access email, OneDrive, Teams, and other resources without a password.
Trend AI researcher Robert McArdle says criminals adapt existing business models rather than reinventing them. AI is accelerating malware development, while agentic systems could scale fraud and make infrastructure disruption central to defense.
Decoded Security marks its first year with 1,304 subscribers and highlights its cybersecurity quizzes, study plans, guides, practical labs, and community, while outlining plans for more certification and career-focused learning materials.
The article argues that action-only AI-agent logs leave responders unable to reconstruct decisions and context. It cites reported PocketOS, Amazon Kiro and Meta incidents and says EU AI Act Article 12 will require logging for high-risk systems from Aug. 2, 2026.
A sponsored walkthrough explains how GRC agents can monitor controls continuously, compare live MFA enforcement with a defined baseline, log their actions, use limited permissions, and route consequential decisions for human approval.
An educational overview of data-breach costs says the global average is $4.4 million, with costs shaped by industry, location, attack method, and response speed. It outlines common breach causes and risk-reduction measures.
A Renovarix-branded phishing scam uses public WHOIS/RDAP data, fake expiry warnings and countdowns to funnel domain owners through redirect sites that request personal and payment details. Verify renewals directly with your registrar.
The article says attackers exploited CVE-2026-50751 in Check Point Remote Access VPN before disclosure, arguing that patching should be paired with investigation and endpoint defenses because attackers may already have access.
Talos explains how Windows malware uses COM for functions such as persistence, execution, and data transfer, and shows how analysts can identify COM classes, interfaces, and methods in binaries.
The article argues that enterprises should treat identity as core infrastructure, reduce standing privilege, and govern human and machine identities to limit the impact of attackers using trusted access.
A cybersecurity guide explains 36 attack types, including malware, phishing, network attacks, and vulnerability exploitation, and recommends measures such as MFA, patching, employee training, and backups.
A review of 27 major data incidents highlights recurring causes—including exposed databases, weak passwords, unpatched flaws, and compromised credentials—and recommends defenses such as MFA, encryption, patching, and security awareness training.
The guide advises MSPs to review public contract records and company indicators, then ask about DFARS clauses, DoD-marked technical data, and PIEE access to identify clients with potential CUI compliance needs.
Recorded Future describes how Insikt Group analysts combine specialist knowledge, multilingual expertise, and automated network and multi-source analysis to identify threats, validate intelligence, and support customer and public research.
Employees’ use of unsanctioned AI tools can expose enterprise data beyond security teams’ visibility. The article explains why traditional controls may miss AI activity and discusses visibility, governance, and behavioral monitoring as ways to manage the risk.
The article explains how Business Impact Analysis informs MTD, RTO, WRT, and RPO, helping organizations set recovery and data-loss targets before choosing backup methods.
The article explains six ways malicious information can influence AI agents, from hidden instructions to poisoned memory, and recommends source verification, restricted permissions, monitoring and human approval for high-impact actions.
AI can accelerate both software development and attacks, shrinking defenders’ response window. The article argues that security teams need continuous environment context, visibility across AI, workload, and cloud activity, and AI-assisted investigations.
The article examines how incomplete or stale context can lead agentic AI to make harmful security decisions, especially in SOC alert triage, and contrasts autonomous action with human-reviewed recommendations that explain their reasoning.
Prompt language can reveal misuse or data risk, but is ambiguous on its own. The article argues that security teams should interpret prompts alongside identity, behavior, connected systems, relationships, and subsequent actions.
A veteran CISO argues that faster vulnerability discovery and breaches through trusted integrations make recurring work—such as reviewing identities, OAuth access, secrets and third-party tools—a strategic security priority.
Deep Instinct CISO and CIO Carl Froggett says combining the roles can work at smaller organizations but risks losing impartiality. He also warns that generative AI may enable more convincing cyberattacks and lower barriers for attackers.
The article outlines steps for organizations considering ransomware negotiations, including assembling response specialists, investigating potential data theft, managing communications, and documenting exchanges. It cautions that payment offers no guarantee of recovery.
