The article argues that SIEMs have become noise generators, citing Ponemon research that 25% of analyst time is wasted on false positives and the Verizon 2024 DBIR finding that alerts were generated but ignored in 74% of breaches. It reports that the...
ServiceNow has integrated XM Cyber's attack graph analysis into its Vulnerability Response and Security Incident Response products, so tickets and incidents are ranked not only by severity, asset criticality, and exploitability but by how exposures chain...
A Hacker News contributor argues that ephemeral accounts, created in real time with random names through a PAM solution and deleted after use, leave unresolved Security Identifiers in audits and file share permissions and produce endpoint logs that cannot...
DDoS simulation testing can be run with commercial software or open-source tools, but requires a platform that can start and stop attack simulations on demand and advance approval from parties such as the cloud provider or tool vendor. The article argues...
A vendor-authored article states that a medium-sized enterprise building a basic in-house SOC can expect to spend roughly $1.5M to $2M annually, about $1M on staffing and $500K to $700K on technology. It cites the VikingCloud 2025 SMB Threat Landscape...
A vendor-authored article argues that AI lets attackers scale spear-phishing and polymorphic malware at machine speed, bypassing deny-list phishing filters, post-exploit EDR detection, and Zero Trust models that leave the browser as a blind spot holding...
A MazeBolt survey of 300 CISOs and security directors at banking, financial services, and insurance companies in the US and Europe found respondents averaged 3.85 damaging DDoS incidents in the past year, with 60% reporting between 2 and 5 such attacks....
An Action1-authored piece in The Hacker News argues that monthly patch cycles are outdated because exploit code now emerges within hours of disclosure and many Known Exploited Vulnerabilities are abused on or before their public disclosure date. It cites...
A Hacker News article by One Identity's Stuart Sharp argues that AI-driven phishing is becoming more convincing, can better replicate human behavior, and can bypass existing phishing-detection mechanisms. It recommends identity defenses including...
The article states that browsers now handle proprietary data, credentials, and business workflows, while legacy tools such as firewalls, antivirus, and EDR were not designed to defend them. It cites CVE-2025-6554 and CVE-2025-10585 as vulnerabilities...
AI-driven SOC platforms now automate alert triage, correlation, enrichment and response recommendations that MSSPs and MDRs have supplied for nearly two decades, and the article cites SACR's AI-SOC Landscape Report 2025 finding that 40% of alerts go...
Redis's security leader describes a hybrid SOC combining external service providers with internal resources, with Prophet Security's AI agent currently proving itself alongside a traditional MDR provider. Average time to investigate dropped to roughly 10...
A Hacker News article reports that a study found 82% of companies already use AI agents, with 53% saying those agents access sensitive information daily. The piece describes agents changing ownership about four times in their first year - from executive...
A pre-trained AI-SOC model degrades after deployment because it is built on historical data and lab assumptions, so it flags a traveling CEO's logins as threats and lets real threats slip through. The article argues that continuous feedback loops, in which...
This article describes the risks and process of migrating from one identity provider to another, citing downtime, broken integrations, compliance gaps, and user frustration as the stakes, with SOC2, HIPAA, and DORA named as the compliance requirements that...
Extension-based attacks now target every major traditional browser - Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Brave - as well as AI-powered browsers like ChatGPT's Atlas and Perplexity's Comet, adapting to each environment's security model. The article notes that...
Syteca's new release adds real-time masking of on-screen sensitive data such as passwords, credit card numbers, and Social Security numbers during session monitoring, so analysts can review sessions without storing actual personal data in logs or...
Employees are adopting personal AI tools, AI-powered browser extensions, and agentic browsers like ChatGPT Atlas that run inside the browser runtime, where CASBs, SWGs, EDRs, and DLP tools have no visibility. The article describes how these agents run with...
The article argues that annual or quarterly penetration tests are snapshots that go stale as cloud deployments shift daily and CI/CD pipelines push new code, leaving blind spots attackers exploit. It presents Continuous Penetration Testing, in a...
Purdue University built a deepfake detection benchmark from the Political Deepfakes Incident Database, drawing on 232 images and 173 videos that circulated on X/Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram rather than clean lab samples. Detectors were scored...
Gartner predicts that by 2028 one in four candidate profiles worldwide could be fake, and reports that 6% of job candidates admit to interview fraud including impersonation or having someone else interview for them. In 2025 the U.S. Department of Justice...
