An educational guide explains how BEC uses impersonation or compromised email to divert payments and steal information, outlines common scams and warning signs, and recommends prevention and response steps.
Huntress describes a dark-web browsing expedition using a virtual machine, Tor, and JavaScript disabled. The walkthrough found sites advertising hacking services and offers tips for reducing risk, including avoiding personal accounts and unknown downloads.
An opinion article argues that AI developers and deployers may bear responsibility for foreseeable harm from autonomous agents, citing reported security incidents and calling for stronger containment, oversight and independent evaluation.
Manufacturing’s growing IT/OT connectivity exposes production systems to cyber threats. The article outlines ransomware and supply-chain risks, legacy-system weaknesses, regulatory pressure, and steps such as segmentation, MFA, and limiting vendor access.
Huntress outlines five 2026 risks—RMM abuse, AI-enabled cybercrime, social engineering, ransomware extortion, and identity attacks—and recommends layered detection, staff training, resilience planning, and faster response.
A guide compares 13 cybersecurity and regulatory frameworks, including NIST CSF, CIS Controls, and ISO 27001, and advises organizations to choose based on industry obligations, customer needs, resources, and security priorities.
A CBOM inventories cryptographic assets and maps them to software components, helping organizations find quantum-vulnerable algorithms that an SBOM may miss and prioritize post-quantum migration.
Picus Security’s sponsored article says agentic pentesting can miss assets it cannot safely reach and vulnerabilities without usable exploits, and promotes combining it with exposure validation and breach-and-attack simulation.
Three security professionals describe paths into application-risk assessment, threat detection, application security and satellite security, highlighting how transferable skills, stretch projects, mentorship and curiosity can shape cybersecurity careers.
CIS outlines how organizations can use security baselines, configuration guidance, and automated assessment and documentation to support NIS2 and DORA compliance, while promoting CIS SecureSuite.
A webinar will discuss runtime identity security and controlling access in real time when trusted identities are compromised or their behavior changes, amid concerns that AI can accelerate reconnaissance and privilege escalation.
An IBM expert says AI makes familiar attacks faster and more scalable, while organizations should strengthen security by design, zero trust, risk prioritization, and recovery planning.
Bitdefender GravityZone AI Visibility and Control inventories AI software and skills on Windows endpoints, flags configuration risks, and guides administrators to separate controls for blocking tools or limiting their permissions.
The article describes how AI could make ransomware attacks faster and more convincing, citing survey findings and a reported operation in which an AI agent carried out an intrusion and encrypted data after exploiting a Langflow vulnerability.
Overview compares 10 SOC tool categories—from EDR/XDR and SIEM to IAM, cloud security and MDR—explaining their roles, workflow overlap, and how duplicated alerts and integrations can contribute to tool sprawl and alert fatigue.
Huntress illustrates a fictional attack chain in which a malicious custom GPT leads an employee to run a ClickFix command, enabling session-cookie theft and invoice fraud, and describes endpoint and identity clues defenders could watch for.
Jamf’s practitioner perspective recommends continuous employee training, threat hunting, AI governance, vulnerability testing and monitoring to address phishing, AI-agent risks and other ongoing threats.
A practical guide to malware IoCs explains their types and limits, and how threat context, internal evidence, and careful automation can help analysts prioritize indicators and investigate related activity.
An analysis of intent-based access control finds that current models struggle to infer motives reliably. It recommends combining explicit policies with contextual signals, human review, and proportionate friction at risky actions.
Employees may connect personal AI agents to workplace systems outside managed deployments. The article recommends treating agents as external entities and governing their access through identity controls, while noting gaps in ownership, authentication, and offboarding.
MCP controls can limit risky AI-agent interactions, but attacks may spread into enterprise systems. The article argues security teams also need visibility across identities, cloud resources, endpoints, and data to detect and respond to wider attack activity.
MCP connects AI agents to enterprise tools and data, creating risks such as shadow servers, excessive permissions, prompt injection, and tool poisoning. The article outlines security capabilities for discovering, governing, protecting, detecting, and responding to MCP.
Phishing emails can conceal prompt injections that try to make AI assistants mischaracterize messages or recommend fraudulent actions. The article explains concealment methods and advises verifying requests, limiting permissions, and requiring human approval for high-st
Banks are deploying internal AI agents as customers gain agents that can transact for them. The article examines authentication, fraud, authority, liability and oversight risks, citing early deployments and a test payment.
