The Shift Left of Boom: Making Cyber Threat Prevention Practical Again

The old saying "prevention is better than cure" has lost currency in today's cybersecurity industry. Instead, security teams are advised to assume that the business has been breached and focus on threat detection, investigation, response, and recovery. Yet, during cyber incident post-mortems, it is not uncommon to find that the business owned the tool that would have protected it against the breach. The problem arose because it wasn't correctly configured before the incident happened, and no one knew this - or if they did, they didn't have the time or resources to fix it.

Survey: Holiday scammers are getting bolder with AI, and Americans are taking the bait

1Password surveyed 2,000 American adults to learn how people are protecting themselves from phishing scams this holiday season (“phishing” refers to all those scammy emails, shady texts, and fake ads, where hackers try to trick people into clicking a link that lets them steal money or information). What we learned is that holiday scams are getting bolder and harder to spot, thanks to the help of AI. Here are some of the other most eye-opening findings.

TruffleNet Weaponizes Stolen Credentials to Target AWS

New details are emerging about a wave of intrusions into Amazon Web Services environments. Attackers are reportedly weaponizing AWS IAM, using it to validate stolen credentials and turn identity controls into a springboard for in-cloud abuse. According to new research from Fortinent, attackers are leveraging the open source TruffleHog tool to automate testing of stolen AWS credentials in what they are calling the TruffleNet infrastructure.

The AI buzzword trap in compliance tools | Heard in the founder chat ft. Inflo's Tom Skelton

“AI-powered.” “AI-native.” “End-to-end AI.” At some point, it all sounds the same—but it’s not. In this “Heard in the Founder Group Chat” episode, Tom Skelton, Information Security and Technology Lead at Inflo, shares how to spot real AI that saves time (and risk)—and how to avoid platforms that just rebrand old features.

Welcome to Agentic Park: What chaos theory teaches us about AI security

The first time it happened, nobody noticed. An automation reconciled a ledger, logged its success, and shut itself down. The token that made it possible looked harmless. Tidy, legacy, supposedly scoped “just enough.” But a week later, refunds ghosted, dashboards blinked, and audit logs told three different versions of the truth. And that token? Not a token at all. More like a Fabergé raptor egg sitting in a server room. Not decoration. Incubation. Of chaos.

CrowdStrike Leads New Evolution of Security Automation with Charlotte Agentic SOAR

AI has transformed both how attackers operate and how defenders must respond. Today’s adversaries use AI to shift tactics in real time, forcing defenders to react at unprecedented speed. Many SOCs struggle to keep pace due to the limits of legacy automation. Even the most mature playbooks can’t anticipate every scenario or data variation, because playbooks are predictable — but adversaries aren’t.

Falcon for XIoT Innovations Improve Speed and Visibility in OT Networks

CrowdStrike Falcon for XIoT is gaining new innovations to protect operational technology (OT) and XIoT environments as they grow larger and more interconnected. The rapid expansion of industrial systems has led to blind spots across segmented networks, unmanaged devices, and legacy infrastructure. Most OT security tools, siloed by design, fail to see which assets are connected or how they communicate.
