The Threat Intel Workflow is Broken

A critical alert shouldn’t come with a scavenger hunt. But answering the obvious questions can still send analysts bouncing between threat reports, adversary profiles, underground activity, vulnerability data, and hunting tools. See how CrowdStrike’s Threat Intelligence Agent, powered by Charlotte AI, brings those answers together and helps turn them into action, from hunting queries and dark web monitoring to vulnerability checks and automated workflows. The analyst stays in control. The busywork doesn’t.

The Problems We Solve Are Not Sexy

The problems we solve are not sexy. That is Garrett Hamilton on Inflection Point: Digital Intelligence Podcast, and he means it as a badge of honor. Problems that have been around for 30 years are rarely glamorous. They are also the ones that take the business down when they go wrong. Why is it more important than ever to tackle these problems?

Inside the AI-Accelerated Cyber Underground

Inside SECNAP: An Agentic MDR Platform Built on LimaCharlie

Joshua Strickland from SECNAP shows how his team built a full agentic MDR platform on top of LimaCharlie. SECNAP layers its own customer portal and SOC workflows directly on LimaCharlie's API, giving AI agents the same access to telemetry and response actions as a human analyst. Joshua will walk you through the customer portal, the SOC dashboard, and a live attack simulation on a sandboxed machine, including how AI agents handle tier one and tier two triage with Sonnet and Opus, and how a human analyst reviews and approves response actions before anything ships.

Secure AI Agents, Everywhere: Why Prompt Injection Is Only Part of the Problem

Ask AI to Choose a prompt Write a TLDR of this post Explain the security risk Summarize what CISOs should know The rules have changed. In every AI deployment, the agent itself is now part of the threat model, and that's a first for enterprise security. Prompt injection gets most of the attention, and for good reason: it doesn't require access to source code, credentials, or network infrastructure. It exploits the fundamental mechanism by which language models process instructions.

How Cato handled record-breaking traffic after Japan's return from the Obon holiday

More Tools Never Fixed the SOC: The Bottleneck Was Never Visibility

Odysseus left Troy with a fleet and reached Ithaca with nothing, having lost every ship to the sea. While the war was won by force, the journey home was won by wits, and ultimately the fleet barely mattered. Most security operations centers are still running their SecOps voyage the way Odysseus ran the war: more tools, more force, more signal. It is the wrong instinct, because the SOC bottleneck was never how much you can see. It is how fast you can decide.
