Episode 19 - The Cap on Inference: Proving How Network Data Quality Drives AI Security ROI

Jul 16, 2026 By Corelight In Corelight
In this episode, host Richard Bejtlich sits down with Corelight Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Greg Bell to unpack groundbreaking research that quantifies exactly how data quality impacts AI-driven security automation. Moving past qualitative industry hype, Greg shares hard evidence from an empirical experiment pitting leading AI agents against real-world Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges and incident response report writing. The findings reveal a dramatic truth: basic firewall and flow logs place a hard cap on inference, throttling an LLM's capacity for deep insight.

Benchmarking 13 AI models on rediscovering known CVEs

Jul 16, 2026 By Rein Daelman In Aikido
TL;DR Every frontier model launch now comes with the same cybersecurity claim: it finds vulnerabilities. But does it work on a real bug in a real repository, or just on a curated example? Of the dozen models you could pick, which is worth trusting with code review? And since the strongest models cost ten times or more per run than the cheapest, what does that extra spend actually buy you in bugs found?

A Guide to Firewall Management: How to Set Up Proper Firewall Rules

Jul 16, 2026 By John Dominguez In Reach Security
Firewalls remain one of the most foundational controls in any security program. Nearly every organization has at least one, and in many cases, hundreds. Despite widespread deployment, firewalls are frequently a source of unintended exposure rather than protection. The reason is almost always in how firewall rules are maintained over time, not the technology itself.

Your Visual Identity Matters - Can AI Get It Right?

Your Visual Identity Matters - Can AI Get It Right?

Jul 16, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
First impressions in professional settings have always mattered, but the digital layer has changed the stakes entirely. Your profile picture is now the first handshake, the initial eye contact, the silent introduction that happens before a single word is exchanged. And yet, for most professionals, this critical piece of visual identity remains an afterthought-a cropped wedding photo, a five-year-old conference badge image, or a smartphone selfie taken in less-than-ideal lighting.

Jul 15, 2026 By Emma Stevens In BitSight
I remember the days when merely saying “AI” was enough to earn glares for bringing up such a taboo subject, almost equivalent to saying “Voldemort.” Now, AI is at the center of many people’s daily lives and certainly at the center of business operations. I find myself using AI for everyday tasks. Unfortunately for security teams, the bad guys are using it too.
