Episode 8 - Enterprise Nervous System: Using Network Signal to Direct Business Strategy

In this episode of Corelight Defenders, I’m joined by Bernard Brantley, Chief Information Security Officer at Corelight, as we delve into the concept of the enterprise nervous system. Bernard shares insights from his extensive experience in network analysis, explaining how organizations can leverage their network traffic data to enhance security and drive business outcomes. We discuss the importance of understanding the interdependencies between assets, processes, and goals, and how security teams can position themselves as integral to business success rather than just risk mitigators.

The 2026 Forecast for AI-Driven Threats

2025 changed the shape of digital risk. In 2026, the impact accelerates. The fastest-growing threats no longer look like traditional attacks. They arrive through apparently legitimate automated access – AI agents, LLM crawlers, and delegated automation interacting directly with revenue-critical systems. They don’t trigger alarms. They quietly extract value, distort pricing logic, and reshape digital economics at scale.

Application Detection and Response Tools: 2026 Buyer's Guide

A: Most were designed for monolithic applications or VMs. They see containers as lightweight VMs rather than ephemeral workloads with unique identity, network, and orchestration patterns. When a pod gets rescheduled across nodes, shares service accounts with other workloads, or communicates over cluster DNS that never touches traditional network monitoring—these tools lose context.

Ten threats traditional Antivirus misses (and Next-Gen AV doesn't)

The cybersecurity arena is rapidly shifting and CISOs are locked in a relentless struggle against adversaries who rarely reveal themselves. Traditional antivirus (AV) solutions, which has been the primary shield (and still is for many companies) has reached its 'End of life'. The reason is clear: signature-based protection simply isn't enough anymore.

Cyberthreat Detection: Key Steps Every Company Should Take 

Today, an organization's survival is intrinsically linked to its cybersecurity posture. Proactive cyberthreat detection has transitioned from a technical best practice to a core business imperative. With adversaries employing increasingly sophisticated methods, from AI-driven phishing campaigns to fileless malware and stealthy lateral movement, relying solely on preventive controls can be a recipe for failure. A robust detection strategy is what separates companies that suffer prolonged breaches from those that contain incidents swiftly.

Episode 7 - Practical AI for Zeek, MITRE, and Security Docs

In Episode 7 of Corelight DefeNDRs, join me, Richard Bejtlich, as I sit down with Dr. Keith Jones, Corelight's principal security researcher, to discuss the practical applications of AI in enhancing network security. We delve into how large language models (LLMs) can assist in cleaning up documentation and generating Zeek scripts, sharing insights from our extensive experience in incident response and coding. Keith reveals the challenges and successes he has encountered using LLMs to streamline processes, including their role in analyzing MITRE techniques.
