When we think of spring, we think of things in bloom; flowers, ideas, maybe even hope for the snow to melt here in our US headquarters Boston, MA. But regardless of the snow, we've chosen to embrace the idea of spring and letting your workflow creativity grow! What better way to let that creativity shine than with another round of You Did WHAT With Tines?! (YDWWT) For the Spring 2026 round of YDWWT, we want to know what your team can achieve with a Tines workflow.

LimaCharlie's SecOps Cloud Platform is built around a simple idea: everything connects via API. That includes AI. Rather than locking you into a proprietary and limited AI SOC, LimaCharlie lets you bring your own LLM and put it to work directly inside your security environment. With LimaCharlie, AI can execute operations across your detections, sensors, and integrations. Because LimaCharlie operates entirely via API, every AI action is transparent and auditable.

With the holiday season all wrapped up (pun definitely intended), I finally have time to sit down and digest what we saw in the network traffic at Black Hat Europe 2025 while working alongside the other Network Operations Center (NOC) partners: Arista, Cisco, Jamf, and Palo Alto Networks. As usual, there is a mix of the expected, a dash of the unexpected, and some lessons for newcomers and greybeards alike. Let’s get into it.

Working at the Black Hat Network Operations Center (NOC) as a data scientist makes me a bit of an outlier (pun intended) among network engineers and hard-core threat hunters.

Why does traditional Kubernetes security fall short? Static scanners flag thousands of CVEs but can’t tell you which ones are actually loaded into memory and exploitable—only about 15% are loaded at runtime. Traditional tools also create siloed visibility, with CSPM, vulnerability scanners, and EDR each seeing only one slice of your environment. This makes it impossible to spot lateral movement or connect events across cloud, cluster, container, and application layers.

Internet traffic relies on the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to find its way between networks. However, this traffic can sometimes be misdirected due to configuration errors or malicious actions. When traffic is routed through networks it was not intended to pass through, it is known as a route leak. We have written on our blog multiple times about BGP route leaks and the impact they have on Internet routing, and a few times we have even alluded to a future of path verification in BGP.

Cloudflare Radar already offers a wide array of security insights — from application and network layer attacks, to malicious email messages, to digital certificates and Internet routing. And today we’re introducing even more. We are launching several new security-related data sets and tools on Radar.

By the end of 2026, over 90% of all credential compromise attacks are estimated to be enabled by modular Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) kits like the sophisticated, global threat, Kratos. This aggressive platform has already begun reshaping the threat landscape. At its core, Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) is a malicious cloud-based service that allows easier deployment of phishing attacks and faster updating of features as compared to traditional phishing and malware attacks.

OneDrive is the most popular cloud storage for Windows due to its easy integration in the Microsoft ecosystem. However, like most big tech companies from the US, there are concerns about how these companies use, secure, and keep your data private, leading many to wonder is OneDrive safe if you want to store photos, documents, or videos in privacy.
