Secure AI Use Without the Blind Spots

The evolution of cyber threats has forced organizations across all industries to rethink their security strategies. As attackers become more sophisticated — leveraging encryption, living-off-the-land techniques, and lateral movement to evade traditional defenses — security teams are finding more threats wreaking havoc before they can be detected. Even after an attack has been identified, it…

Mass layoffs create cybersecurity vulnerabilities through dormant accounts and disgruntled employees.

Ask a cybersecurity pro about Network Detection and Response (NDR) and you might still hear “Noisy,” “Too much data.” But ask the teams running NDR that includes agentic AI capabilities and you’ll hear they’re actually using it to catch threats earlier, triage faster, and chase fewer false positives. The old complaint lingers in part because…

The threat actor known as PlushDaemon has been observed using a previously undocumented Go-based network backdoor codenamed EdgeStepper to facilitate adversary-in-the-middle (AitM) attacks. EdgeStepper “redirects all DNS queries to an external, malicious hijacking node, effectively rerouting the traffic from legitimate infrastructure used for software updates to attacker-controlled infrastructure

The vulnerability, which has a CVSS score of 9.8, is under attack and allows threat actors to remotely execute arbitrary commands on servers running the agentic AI builder.

Attackers are actively exploiting two of the vulnerabilities and another 58 are more likely to be exploited, according to Microsoft.
