CIS community volunteer Diego Bolatti develops policy templates, teaches CIS Controls, and researches practical cybersecurity governance for SMEs. His SME-Cyber assessment platform is being prepared for pilot testing in Argentina.
The article explains how organizations classify data by sensitivity and potential impact, then use those categories to set security requirements and guide access control, compliance, incident response, and DLP.
Netskope outlines how persistent, broadly scoped OAuth tokens can let AI agents execute malicious instructions without further human approval, and recommends isolated agent identities, short-lived task-scoped credentials, monitoring, and governance.
SOC teams face alert overload that can obscure real threats and contribute to analyst burnout. The article examines context and AI-assisted triage as possible solutions, while warning that AI can produce inaccurate findings.
In a LABScon 2025 keynote, Juan Andrés Guerrero-Saade argues that AI could help defenders assess and prioritize security work at scale, and calls for more standardized, automated systems that combine human expertise with machine evaluation.
A Darktrace blog explains stadium cybersecurity challenges, including crowded networks, supplier access, converged IT and OT, and event-time pressure, and promotes self-learning AI and targeted automated response as defenses.
NPM v12 will disable install scripts and require opt-ins for some dependency types. The author welcomes the changes but warns of approval fatigue, attackers shifting execution paths, and added detection challenges, while recommending cooldowns, allowlists, and package fi
Darktrace outlines five areas for enterprise AI security: misuse and emergent behavior, runtime monitoring, secure development, supply-chain risk, and organizational readiness, emphasizing visibility and controls across the AI lifecycle.
A security leader’s takeaways from Gartner’s 2026 summit: build resilience through identity and endpoint controls, keep human judgment in AI operations, validate defenses, and prioritize exposures by risk.
A penetration test found that the Duo Auth Proxy forwarded live AD authentication requests; using a recovered RADIUS shared secret, the tester decrypted captured exchanges and exposed cleartext credentials. Group analysis identified a developer account with broad, but未
The article explains how indirect prompt injection can hijack agents through goal manipulation, over-permissioned tools, poisoned memory or supply-chain inputs, and recommends least privilege, sandboxing, human approval and decision-level logging to limit and detect the
A lab walkthrough connects Claude Desktop to Metasploit through MCP, demonstrating scans, exploitation of Linux and Windows lab hosts, post-exploitation and payload delivery, with human approval gates and mitigation guidance.
CIS says the 2026 Verizon DBIR highlights vulnerability exploitation, credential abuse, social engineering, ransomware, and third-party risk, and recommends foundational controls and secure configurations to help defend against them.
A sponsored analysis compares Verizon’s 2026 DBIR findings with Keep Aware telemetry, highlighting risks from personal-account AI use, browser credential theft, extensions, ClickFix and phishing, and arguing for browser-level visibility.
Huntress says Sensitive Data Mode blocks selected file extensions from transfer to its SOC, aiming to reduce CUI exposure and let defense contractors use its platform without FedRAMP Moderate authorization.
The article explains how AI guardrails judge conversational patterns rather than intent, so persistent red-team probing can resemble an attack. It discusses inconsistent outputs and refusal reinforcement, advising defenders not to trust a control’s loosest observed run.
A beginner-friendly VPN explainer covers encrypted tunnels, the trust shifted to VPN providers, client/tunnel/server components, and differences among PPTP, L2TP, and IPsec.
Orchid Security describes IVIP as a way to uncover identity activity beyond centralized IAM, citing its application-level analysis and audit findings. The article also recommends attribution, audit trails, least privilege, and guardrails for AI agents.
A Sprocket Security-sponsored article describes an unauthenticated API on a bank-branded mortgage portal that exposed tenant records across institutions, and argues continuous external testing can catch risks annual pentests miss.
An explainer on how dangerous triggers, untrusted input, and compromised credentials can put GitHub Actions workflows at risk, with safeguards including restricted permissions, safer input handling, and commit-SHA pinning.
The author considers Anthropic’s Zero Trust-based framework for autonomous AI agents a useful starting point but argues it overlooks practical enterprise concerns, including rapid adoption, evolving threats, insider risks, hidden dependencies and operational constraints
A Veriff executive argues that fragmented identity-verification APIs can discard device telemetry and hardware provenance needed to detect virtual-camera and emulator-based injection attacks, and recommends auditing pipelines and continuously evaluating session signals.
The article compiles Reddit users’ accounts of infostealer infections involving cracked downloads and Discord scams, explains how stolen session cookies can bypass 2FA, and recommends recovery steps such as changing passwords from a clean device and logging out active ى
A hands-on lab walkthrough shows ShellGPT generating Nmap commands for host discovery, service and vulnerability enumeration, and scan-output analysis, then outlines defenses including service reduction, firewalling, patching, and monitoring.
