The top 6 AI security trends for 2026-and how companies can prepare

AI is changing the threat landscape faster than organizations can respond. AI-generated phishing and fraud have increased sharply year-over-year, and GenAI is enabling more sophisticated cyber attacks than ever before. ‍ Businesses are feeling the pain. Our team at Vanta surveyed 2,500 business and IT leaders across the globe and found that nearly three-quarters believe AI threats are outpacing their ability to manage them.

How to Detect and Eliminate Shadow AI in 5 Steps

The pressure to integrate AI is immense. Your developers need to move fast, and they’re finding ways to get the job done. But this rush for innovation often happens outside of established governance, creating a sprawling, invisible risk known as Shadow AI. To secure your organization, you must first understand what Shadow AI actually is. It’s not just a developer downloading a file to their laptop. Shadow AI is the totality of unmanaged AI assets within your supply chain.

DeepChat AI agent XSS-to-RCE via Mermaid and Electron IPC

In December 2025, a critical remote code execution vulnerability was disclosed in DeepChat, an open-source desktop AI agent platform built using Electron. The issue, tracked as CVE-2025-67744, affects all DeepChat versions prior to 0.5.3 and carries a CVSS score of 9.6. The vulnerability arises from the interaction between two separate weaknesses. The first allows attacker-controlled JavaScript execution through unsafe rendering of Mermaid diagrams.

AIOps in the Cato SASE Platform: Using Predictive AI Networking to Shift from Reactive to Proactive IT

It was a quiet Monday morning until John, head of IT, opened his laptop and saw 424 new support tickets. Users across the office were reporting issues like “apps won’t load” and “internet not working.” After hours of investigation that stretched into the next day, the team traced the problem to a branch router overwhelmed by malformed DNS queries from a misbehaving IoT device.

Exploring The Future Of AI In Cybersecurity Penetration Testing

In recent years, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various fields has grown tremendously, and cybersecurity is no exception. As cyber threats evolve in complexity, the need for innovative solutions like AI-driven penetration testing becomes more crucial. AI has the potential to revolutionize how businesses approach security, making penetration testing faster, more accurate, and more effective. This article delves into the increasing role of AI in cybersecurity, particularly in penetration testing, exploring its benefits, challenges, and future implications.

Link11 Identifies Five Cybersecurity Trends Set to Shape European Defense Strategies in 2026

Secure AI Agent Infrastructure with Zero-Code MCP

Learn how to secure AI and MCP infrastructure without writing authorization code, rewriting MCP servers, or limiting agent work with Teleport’s zero-code MCP integration. AI agents are becoming powerful participants in engineering workflows. But without meaningful authorization boundaries, they can quickly become an existential security risk. AI agents do not behave like traditional applications. Instead, they generate actions and chain together tools in unpredictable ways.
