Building SecOps that improve with every frontier AI release

CEO Maxime Lamothe-Brassard made an observation after the RSA conference that security vendors don't typically say out loud: "The frontier models are just better than anything people roll their own. There's no secret sauce these vendors are offering that is better than the latest frontier model release." That's a pointed claim that carries a significant implication buyers may not have fully considered.

From PentestGPT to production: The state of AI-assisted offensive security with Charles Grandjean

Join us for this week's Defender Fridays as Charles Grandjean, CTO and Co-founder at Hexiagon AI, breaks down where AI-assisted pen testing actually stands today and what it means for both red teams and defenders. At Defender Fridays, we delve into the dynamic world of information security, exploring its defensive side with seasoned professionals from across the industry. Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to foster a collaborative space where ideas flow freely, experiences are shared, and knowledge expands.

Businesses have NO IDEA how bad AI attacks can be

There are two types of companies: those who have been compromised and those who will be. Mid and small businesses are walking into this reality without understanding what AI has changed. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, David Chernitzky, CEO and co-founder of Armour Cybersecurity, explains why the gap between how large organizations understand AI-driven threats and how smaller ones do is widening fast.

Analyzing real malware with Claude Code and LimaCharlie

Most malware analysis workflows follow the same pattern: run a set of tools, manually review the output, build detection rules from memory, and repeat. It's reliable, but slow, and for MDR and MSSP teams handling volume, delays have a cost. In this workshop, LimaCharlie Senior Solutions Engineer Chris Botelho demonstrates a faster path: using Claude Code with LimaCharlie's reverse engineering environment to triage, analyze, and build detections against a real malware sample pulled from Malware Bazaar.

Security is a core leadership issue & opportunity with David Chernitzky, Armour Cybersecurity [317]

Today David Chernitzky, Co-Founder and CEO of Armour Cybersecurity, breaks down the challenges small and mid-sized businesses face in the new blink-and-you-miss-it cybersecurity landscape. Don't be left behind and open yourself to AI-driven attacks from threat actors.

When AI changes the rules, attackers adapt

The dominant narrative around AI in security is one of emboldened defenders suppressing attackers. Yet, not everyone is convinced the future will be so rosy. In a recent Defender Fridays episode, Josh Neil, Co-founder and CTO of Alpha Level, made an argument that cuts against the celebratory mood: as AI makes known attack vectors harder to use, adversaries don't disappear. They adapt. For MSSPs and SOC teams, an adversary that looks like a user is a harder problem than one that looks like malware.

Is anything about AI worth the hype?

Dr. Adeel Shaikh Muhammad argues that when it comes to AI in the SOC, alert prioritization, anomaly detection, and SOC efficiency are where the real value is. The rest is mostly noise. On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, the cybersecurity strategist and three-time author draws a clear line between where AI delivers and where the industry has oversold it. Full autonomous SOCs, perfect attack prediction, and replacing human analysts all fall on the hype side. AI narrows focus and accelerates decisions, but the final call still belongs to humans.

Prompt instructions won't save your production environment

In July 2025, Replit's autonomous AI coding agent deleted a live production database despite being explicitly instructed to freeze all changes. The agent then attempted to reassure the user with incorrect information after the fact. The team had safeguards in place. The instructions were explicit. Neither stopped it. The conclusion that follows is one the security community should take seriously: you cannot enforce AI agent behavior through the agent itself.

How analysts use cognitive reasoning in investigations with Chris Sanders

Join us for this week's Defender Fridays as Chris Sanders, Founder at Applied Network Defense and the Rural Technology Fund, breaks down how analysts actually think through investigations and what separates high performers from the rest. At Defender Fridays, we delve into the dynamic world of information security, exploring its defensive side with seasoned professionals from across the industry. Our aim is simple yet ambitious: to foster a collaborative space where ideas flow freely, experiences are shared, and knowledge expands.
