Avoiding Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen: Agentic AI Use Cases

AI agents work together to complete tasks. For instance, imagine a kitchen. In a home kitchen, we do everything ourselves, come up with the menu, get the ingredients, peel, chop, sauté, and plate — but in restaurants, everyone has different jobs. Agentic AI brings that restaurant-level skill to organize and optimize to you in your kitchen. In the case of cybersecurity, agents can provide the necessary backup for what you can’t get to in a day in the SOC.

AI-powered attacks are getting more sophisticated.

AI-powered attacks are getting more sophisticated. However, AI-powered defense is evolving even faster. At Cloudflare, AI is already detecting and stopping threats faster than human researchers ever could. How? Machine learning models analyze millions of attack patterns in real-time, identifying anomalies and blocking threats before they spread. AI detects novel attack patterns before they even make headlines AI reduces false positives, helping security teams focus on real risks AI learns from past incidents, adapting faster than traditional security tools.

AI in IAM: Automate the monotonous tasks, not the vital ones

Lately, the common theme in emerging identity security technology is AI. It’s all anyone wants to talk about. All of us in the IAM business have been scurrying to find a way to tell our customers and the market that, yes! We have AI! We've had it all along! If that were so obviously true, why isn’t it more broadly known? As an identity security technologist, I’ve experienced the growing pains of AI in IAM. I recently read an interesting essay by a science fiction author.

Can You Really Pair Program with AI? (Aider & Cohere)

A new wave of AI development tools is changing how we write code, but can AI truly replace a human coding partner? In this video, we explore the capabilities of Aider and Cohere, two tools built to support real-time, conversational pair programming. We’ll break down how they work, where they shine, and the surprising limitations that came up during testing. Whether you're an experienced developer or simply curious about the future of coding, this deep dive will give you a clear picture of where AI-assisted programming stands today.

Unmasking EncryptHub: Help from ChatGPT & OPSEC blunders

This is the second part of Outpost24’s KrakenLabs investigation into EncryptHub, an up-and-coming cybercriminal who has been gaining popularity in recent months and is heavily expanding and evolving operations at the time of writing. We’ve already published one article explaining EncryptHub’s campaigns and TPPs, infrastructure, infection methods, and targets.

Put AI to work where workflows work best

In this guest post, Jason English, Director and Principal Analyst at Intellyx explores how GenAI is moving beyond chat to orchestrate real action for SOC teams. As my colleague Eric Newcomer mentioned in the previous chapter of this series, GenAI changes the security automation game, with multi-system discovery, documentation, and task execution capabilities that can reduce cognitive load and toil for security analysts.
