Why security makes or breaks M&As, with Matt O'Leary

May 6, 2026 By Dave Lewis In 1Password
Security is tied to business operations in many (often unappreciated) ways, but the connection is rarely more visible or consequential than during an acquisition or partnership. In those deals, a company stakes its reputation and finances on another company, and a lapse in security can throw the whole thing into chaos.

AI GitHub Agents: How One Issue Leaked Private Repos

May 6, 2026 By Shane Moosa In UpGuard
In May 2025, a developer using Claude with the GitHub MCP server asked their AI assistant to do something entirely routine: review the open issues in a public repository. The repository contained a malicious GitHub issue planted by a researcher demonstrating a security vulnerability. The issue contained hidden instructions. The AI read them, followed them, accessed the developer's private repositories, and posted the contents in a publicly visible pull request. No credentials were stolen.

How to Detect Account Takeover in Real-Time: Moving Beyond Login Alerts

May 6, 2026 By Ezra M. In Memcyco
Most enterprise fraud stacks are built to detect account takeover after it’s already succeeded. Login anomaly rules fire at authentication. Transaction models fire at monetization. By both points, the attacker is already inside. Knowing how to detect account takeover in real-time means shifting detection upstream – to behavioral signals, device trust, credential exposure feeds, and session integrity monitoring that activate before any fraudulent transaction is attempted.

How leadership should assess DevOps backup solutions before purchase

May 6, 2026 By Beata Moryl In GitProtect
Managing a growing list of vendors can add complexity across an organization. Adding a new partner may require navigating additional administrative processes and internal alignment. As a result, third-party DevOps backup often ends up lower on the priority list until one serious data deletion, prolonged recovery, or failed restore turns it from a “nice to have” into an executive-level decision.

Ep. 57 - Russia's Proxy Bridge: BlackCat, Scattered Spider, and the Kremlin

May 6, 2026 By SafeBreach In SafeBreach
In Part 4 of our Russian intelligence series, host Tova Dvorin and Adrian Culley map the proxy bridge between Western teenage hackers and Moscow. BlackCat (ALPHV) ransomware-as-a-service is the operational hinge: Scattered Spider breaks in, BlackCat encrypts, and the FSB watches the dashboard. Hear how the Kremlin earns plausible deniability, why a $115M extortion stream self-funds Russian intelligence, and what MI6's new "hybrid shadow war" warning means for defenders simulating Rust-based ransomware in their own networks.

AI Is Replacing Security Dashboards (Headless Cloud Security Explained)

May 6, 2026 By Sysdig In Sysdig
AI is changing cloud security—and dashboards might be next to go. In this video, we introduce headless cloud security: a new model where AI agents, not humans, operate security systems. Instead of dashboards and manual triage, security becomes API-driven, automated, and built for autonomous execution. This shift redefines DevSecOps, cloud security, and AI security workflows—moving humans from operators to orchestrators.

Remote Penetration Testing in 2026: A CTO & CISO Guide

May 6, 2026 By Rishabh Goyal In Astra
Your presence here, reading this, insinuates that something is nagging at you. Maybe it’s the Ivanti headline you saw last week or the fact that half your engineering team works from cafés, co-working spaces, and home offices you’ve never set foot in. Maybe it’s the audit coming up and that one checklist item about remote access controls you’ve been putting off. No, you’re not being paranoid. We have numbers that justify your burgeoning anxiety.
