What Is Network Security Assurance?

Jul 2, 2026 By John Dominguez In Reach Security
Every security leader has a version of the network in their head. They know which systems should be segmented, which applications should be reachable, which ports should never be open, and which access paths should not exist. They know how the architecture is supposed to work. The harder question is whether the live environment is actually enforcing that design right now. That question is getting more difficult to answer.

Mitigating Attacks Before They Impact Infrastructure: Link11 provides next generation network DDoS protection

Jul 1, 2026 By Link11
Link11, a leading European provider of cloud-based cybersecurity solutions, today announced the launch of its completely rebuilt Layer 3/4 DDoS mitigation solution, designed to address the growing complexity of modern network attacks. Today's DDoS attacks are not just simple volume or protocol attacks anymore. They can originate from compromised devices within trusted and legitimate networks, mimic real traffic, and appear in short, high-intensity bursts that leave little time for manual response.

DuneSlide: Two Critical RCE vulnerabilities via Zero-Click Prompt Injection in Cursor IDE

Jul 1, 2026 By Itay Ravia In Cato Networks
Cato AI Labs has discovered two critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerabilities in Cursor IDE, the popular development environment which, according to Cursor, is used by over half of the Fortune 500. Both RCE vulnerabilities, which we refer to as “DuneSlide,” achieved a 9.8 CVSS score, and involve breaking out of the IDE’s sandbox environment and were assigned CVE IDs CVE-2026-50548 and CVE-2026-50549.

What the Black Hat NOC taught me about MCP & agentic SOCs (Chapter 1 of 4)

Jun 30, 2026 By James Pope In Corelight
The first time an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server felt real to me, it wasn't because of a clean demo. It was because of the noise. TL;DR: The harness matters more than the protocol, and the evidence matters more than both. MCP earns its keep when it shortens the path from a good security question to trustworthy evidence, and almost everything interesting about making that work happens in the harness wrapped around the model. In this series, I will cover how to build an MCP for an AI SOC.

Sentra and Cato XOps: Turning Data Risk into Active Mitigation

Jun 29, 2026 By Makiko Yamada In Cato Networks
AI did not create data exposure. It changed the consequences of it. Sensitive data, excessive permissions, and broad access policies have long existed across cloud environments. In the AI era, those issues are no longer passive governance concerns. They directly influence what AI users, copilots, agents, and applications can access, process, and expose. AI has turned a posture problem into operational risk. The challenge is not simply that more data is available.

Executive Order 14409 Starts a 30-day Clock on Federal Cyber Defense

Jun 29, 2026 By Forward Networks In Forward Networks
On June 2, 2026, President Trump signed Executive Order 14409, "Promoting Advanced Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Security." The framing is innovation first. But for federal network and security teams, the practical reality is a short, specific timeline to harden government systems, with AI now active on both sides of the cybersecurity equation. The deadlines are not aspirational.

PQC Post Quantum Cryptography Explained: Why Today's Encryption Has an Expiration Date

Jun 29, 2026 By Forescout Technologies In Forescout
The encryption protecting today’s data isn’t broken, but it does have a timeline. This video breaks down why current systems like TLS, PKI, and RSA remain secure today, and how quantum computing will change that. As progress accelerates toward large-scale quantum machines, organizations must prepare for a new era of security. Learn how PQC (post quantum cryptography) helps address emerging risks like “harvest now, decrypt later,” and why tracking adoption of quantum-safe encryption is critical now, not later.

Strengthening modern detection with Open NDR and integrated threat intelligence

Jun 26, 2026 By Allen Marin In Corelight
Adversaries are evolving faster than defenders can respond, and they're weaponizing AI to accelerate their attacks. We’ve seen “living-off-the-land”, lateral movement, and the abuse of legitimate administrator tools enable hackers to hide in plain sight, diluting the effectiveness of traditional detection methods. Meanwhile, defenders are nervously trying to keep up with the accelerating pace of AI-empowered threats hitting them at machine speed.
