A recent survey cited in this article found that 95% of U.S. businesses now use generative AI, up sharply from the prior year, as assistants appear in Zoom, Slack, Microsoft 365, and Salesforce. The article points to Samsung engineers leaking sensitive...
JPMorgan Chase CISO Pat Opet published an open letter to third-party suppliers arguing that SaaS models are eroding decades of architected security boundaries, with OAuth tokens connecting applications lacking an equivalent of 2FA. The letter points to the...
The Wiz research team uncovered a publicly exposed DeepSeek production ClickHouse database leaking chat history, API secrets, and other sensitive data. The article also cites Samsung's early 2023 incident, in which an engineer inadvertently shared...
A researcher found a GitHub abuse flaw that lets attackers create a repository issue with Markdown-formatted, official-looking lures, which GitHub then emails to victims from notifications@github.com, bypassing email security controls that trust the...
In the 2026 Bitdefender Cybersecurity Assessment, 55.2% of IT and security professionals who reported a breach in the past 12 months said they were asked to keep it confidential even when it was reportable, up from 42.0% in 2023 and down slightly from...
An industry incident response report cited here puts the global median dwell time at 14 days, up from 11 the year before and reversing close to a decade of steady improvement. The article breaks dwell time into mean time to detect and mean time to respond,...
A cybersecurity product specialist at a U.S. electric utility serving over 16 million customers led an enterprise asset visibility initiative covering all ODN and UDN network assets regardless of activity status. The work found that many assets missing...
April 2026 saw $621 million in decentralized finance hacks, the sector's worst month since March 2022, with 66% of the damage traced to compromised access controls rather than smart-contract flaws, according to Binance Research. DL News counted 29...
Palo Alto Networks' 2026 Identity Security Landscape, drawn from a survey of more than 2,900 cybersecurity decision-makers, puts machine identities at 109 for every human, and 96% of respondents said human identities operate with access beyond what their...
HoundDog.ai describes a Rust-based deterministic code scanner that maps service, API, field, and callsite relationships plus sensitive dataflows across repositories, then exposes that graph to AI coding agents through an MCP server. In one internal test on...
AI coding agents such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Claude Cowork, and GitHub Copilot have become extensible runtimes where Skills, plugins, hooks, repository instructions, and MCP servers can change what the agent reads, which tools it selects, what...
Under the EU Cyber Resilience Act, manufacturers selling products with digital elements into the EU must report actively exploited vulnerabilities to a regulator within 24 hours of learning of them, with a fuller account due at 72 hours, starting September...
Cloud environments built on SaaS, IaaS, infrastructure-as-code, containers, serverless functions, APIs and automated identities have grown complex enough that alert-by-alert CSPM processes no longer help teams decide what to fix first. The article argues...
OT threat intelligence must connect cybersecurity data with the protocols, assets, manufacturers, and processes of operational networks, because the same network activity can mean different things depending on the device and protocol involved - for...
An article by SerpApi's Alaa Abdulridha argues that AI systems relying on opaque input signals leave teams without provenance records, making abnormal outputs hard to diagnose and model behavior hard to explain. It proposes verifiable search data - public...
GitProtect Lab tracked 84 AI-related incidents in development environments in the first half of 2026, nearly triple the same period in 2025, and 1 in 3 surveyed DevOps, DevSecOps and security leaders say they have already had a security incident tied...
A vendor-authored article from PlexTrac describes how pentest findings typically move through separate systems and manual handoffs - testers in one toolset, reports assembled in Word or spreadsheets, findings delivered as PDFs, recreated in ticketing...
This vendor-authored piece argues that most identity governance and administration programs still rely on manual certifications, static role models, and quarterly reviews, while service accounts and non-human identities now outnumber human identities in...
A mid-sized organization routinely generates tens of thousands of alerts per week across endpoint, identity, cloud, and network telemetry, and the article argues the SOC failure is volume exceeding what a human team can review consistently. It lays out a...
A security leader at a global finance company found three times more AI tools running in his environment than IT had approved, because employees pointed agents at their work and the agents brought their own tools. Island's research team scanned 33,563...
A Hacker News piece by Doppel CTO Rahul Madduluri argues that email security tools score messages after they land, while attackers have already registered lookalike domains with valid SSL certificates, warmed sending domains past SPF and DKIM, and built...
Google's Threat Intelligence Group observed malware nicknamed PROMPTFLUX contacting an AI model every hour it runs to request a new version of itself, with each version returning in a different form, in late 2025. IBM's 2026 X-Force Threat Intelligence...
A vendor account describes an enterprise customer whose security team believed its entire AI footprint was Copilot, until a first scan found Claude ranked first, OpenAI second, and Copilot third. The article says Claude operates across six surfaces -...
Lasso's AI Security Platform connects agent discovery, posture management, automated red teaming, and inline runtime enforcement into one loop, building an AI Bill of Materials across low-code builders like AWS Bedrock, Copilot Studio, and Vertex AI, cloud...
A Hacker News piece by Doppel's Josh Bartolomie argues that social engineering is now an industrialized deception economy with customer acquisition costs and ROI targets, and that generative AI and automated orchestration have cut the cost of producing a...
In July 2026, CREST launched an AI Charter with more than seventy cyber firms as signatories, built around nine principles covering accountability, transparency, and defined scope for AI systems in client environments. Days earlier, the UK's NCSC and DSIT...
Developer laptops accumulate working credentials in config files, token caches, credential helpers, and tool-specific stores, and AI coding agents and MCP servers have accelerated that accumulation. GitGuardian's State of Secrets Sprawl 2026 catalogued...
SAML's AuthnContext attribute and OpenID Connect's AMR claim both exist to record not just that a user signed in but which authentication methods were used, with AMR values standardized in RFC 8176 as short references such as pwd for password and otp for...
The 2026 Bitdefender Cybersecurity Assessment surveyed 1,200 IT and cybersecurity professionals across France, Germany, Italy, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, all in organizations with 500 or more employees. Of respondents who...
AI's main cybersecurity impact is speed: it compresses the time between initial targeting and business impact by accelerating reconnaissance, personalizing social engineering, modifying malware, and adapting tactics, outpacing incident response models...
