Rethinking Application Delivery for the AI Era

Mar 18, 2026 By A10 Networks In A10 Networks
Rethinking Application Delivery for the AI Era Is your network strategy keeping up with the AI era? Jamison Utter, Field CISO at A10 Networks, challenges IT leaders to move beyond "piecemeal" infrastructure and rethink their approach to application delivery. As organizations face the dual pressure of integrating AI workloads and managing a vast "fleet" of hybrid devices, the old ways of operating are becoming a liability. Jamison discusses the true cost of administrative overhead and the urgent need for a more flexible, simple, and future-proof vendor strategy.

From Intent to Outcome: How Agentic Coding is Transforming the SOC

Mar 18, 2026 By Ofer Smadari In Torq
See how Torq harnesses AI in your SOC to detect, prioritize, and respond to threats faster. Request a Demo Security teams are being asked to move faster and handle more complexity, while the threats they defend against are increasingly AI-assisted. When I wrote about VoidLink in January, my point was simple: you cannot fight machine-speed threats with human-speed defense. Attackers are using AI to code, adapt, and scale attacks while humans are still grinding away doing the heavy lifting in the SOC.

Shipping-Themed Phishing Scams Target the Middle East and Africa

Mar 18, 2026 By KnowBe4 Team In KnowBe4
A surge in shipping-related phishing scams is targeting the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, according to researchers at Group-IB. “To deliver the scam, the attacker sends a phishing link to victims via SMS using various spoofing or bulk-message techniques,” the researchers write. “These links are typically optimized for mobile devices, since most victims open SMS messages on their phones.

Cato CTRL Threat Research: Vishing and Microsoft Teams Used to Deliver PhantomBackdoor

Mar 18, 2026 By Dr. Guy Waizel In Cato Networks
Cato CTRL has discovered a q-based delivery technique used against an Italy-based consumer services company associated with PhantomBackdoor, a multi-stage WebSocket-based backdoor previously reported in a Ukraine-focused spear phishing operation by SentinelOne. In SentinelOne’s earlier reporting, initial access relied on phishing lures and a ClickFix-style flow that triggered a staged PowerShell and ended with a WebSocket backdoor.

AI Security Best Practices: The Complete Guide

Mar 18, 2026 By Cyberhaven In Cyberhaven
Artificial intelligence has moved from pilot project to core enterprise infrastructure faster than most security programs can adapt. AI is automating workflows, surfacing insights from complex datasets, and changing how work gets done across every function. But with that acceleration comes a new and expanding attack surface that most organizations are only beginning to understand.

CIFS vs SMB File Share Protocols: The Differences Explained

Mar 18, 2026 By NAKIVO Team In NAKIVO
When it comes to selecting a protocol to share files over the network, you commonly come across the SMB and CIFS terms in software interfaces and documentation. Some users think that SMB and CIFS are the same thing, and clearly identifying the difference may be difficult. However, let’s look at why CIFS can’t be used as a synonym for SMB. Learn about the SMB vs CIFS protocols differences and how to use the terms.

The Unsung AI Hero: Data Normalization

Mar 18, 2026 By Megan Horner In Seemplicity
AI agents are only as effective as the data they consume. In this post, we explore the unsung hero of the security stack: data normalization. This process serves as the deterministic guardrail that makes AI grounding possible. Without a structured data foundation, grounding is only as good as the often chaotic data being retrieved, leading to confident but incorrect AI responses.

From alerts to entities: Transforming the SOC with Corelight Agentic Triage

Mar 18, 2026 By Muzzafer Pasha In Corelight
The cybersecurity landscape has fundamentally shifted in the last several years. Adversaries are no longer just using AI to draft phishing emails; they're deploying autonomous AI agents capable of executing end-to-end attack chains, from initial reconnaissance through lateral movement and data exfiltration. Anthropic's1 analysis of recent incidents indicates a rapid acceleration in attacker adoption of agentic workflows, dramatically shortening the time between initial access and impact.
