AI agents are rewriting the rules of efficiency, but one hidden flaw could turn them against you. Prompt injection attacks let hackers hijack your AI, steal data, and break safeguards straight through everyday inputs. No code exploit is required, only a clever manipulation. Identity and Access Management (IAM) plays a massive role in AI security to protect at first hand.

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are templates for launching and scaling Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances. Because Amazon EC2 AMIs are reused across environments and automation pipelines, decisions about how you build, source, manage, and share them directly affect your cloud attack surface.

AI risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with artificial intelligence systems to ensure they are developed and used responsibly. It involves using frameworks like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework to address technical, ethical, and social challenges, including data bias, privacy violations, and security vulnerabilities.

Authors: Dheeraj Kumar and Nitish Singh The Monthly Intelligence Insights report provides a summary of top threats curated, monitored, and analyzed by Securonix Threat Labs in January 2026. The report also includes a synopsis of the threats, indicators of compromise (IoCs), tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and related tags. Each threat has a comprehensive summary from Threat Labs and search queries from the Threat Research team.

Artificial intelligence is changing the IT landscape in radical, unprecedented ways. It’s rewriting the rules of code generation, automating complex customer service interactions, and providing data insights that used to be impossible to extract, even in recent decades. However, for IT managers and those responsible for keeping the lights on, AI represents a massive shift in infrastructure requirements.

On February 25, 2026, Cisco released fixes for a maximum severity authentication bypass vulnerability in Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller (formerly vSmart) and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager (formerly vManage), tracked as CVE-2026-20127. The flaw arises from a broken peering authentication mechanism in the control-plane authentication workflow. This vulnerability potentially allows a remote, unauthenticated threat actor to bypass authentication and obtain administrative privileges on an affected system.

LimaCharlie's Agentic SecOps Workspace (ASW) enables true agentic security operations. With us, AI doesn't just advise but actively operates within your security environment. We do this by integrating everything, including AI, on our cloud platform via API. Our approach delivers superior AI security automation capabilities at a fraction of the cost, allowing security teams to scale operations without growing headcount.

FalconID is now generally available, bringing phishing-resistant MFA to the CrowdStrike Falcon platform and advancing CrowdStrike’s leadership in identity security. Adversaries continue to use legitimate identities to infiltrate and navigate organizations while evading defenses. As they adopt AI, the scale and impact of social engineering and credential abuse are growing. AI-enhanced phishing, MFA fatigue, and session hijacking enable threat actors to bypass MFA.

Let’s catch up on the more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news gathered from articles across the web this week. This is what we have been reading about on our coffee break! Any plans for the weekend? Might want to do these first though.

CVE-2026-20127 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability affecting Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Controller (vSmart) and Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager (vManage). The flaw stems from improper validation within the control plane and management plane authentication mechanisms, allowing a remote, unauthenticated attacker to submit crafted requests that bypass standard authentication controls. Successful exploitation results in access to the system as a high-privileged internal user account.
