OpenClaw and the Growing Security Risks of Agentic AI

OpenClaw, a fast-growing open-source AI agent, is drawing attention from security teams as its rapid adoption collides with emerging risks around autonomous AI behavior.  Designed to act as a personal assistant that can connect to large language models (LLMs), call external APIs, and execute tasks independently, OpenClaw represents a form of agentic AI designed to…

n8n Flaw Puts Hundreds of Thousands of Enterprise AI Systems at Risk

A flaw in the n8n platform allowed any authenticated user to fully compromise the underlying server, exposing credentials, secrets, and AI-driven workflows across enterprise environments. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 10.0 and allows attackers to break out of n8n’s JavaScript sandbox to execute arbitrary commands, effectively transforming routine workflow logic into complete control…

How Threat Intelligence Helps Protect Financial Organizations from Business Risk

The financial sector resembles a treasure vault under constant siege. Banks, insurers, and fintech firms are not just custodians of money. They are guardians of irreplaceable personal and corporate data, payment flows, transactional integrity, and trust itself.   When cybercriminals strike, the ripple effects cascade outward, threatening individual savings, corporate balance sheets, national infrastructures, and broader economic confidence.  The Biggest…

The silent security gap in enterprise AI adoption

Most security leaders believe they know where their sensitive data lives and how it is protected. That confidence is increasingly misplaced. As enterprises deploy AI across customer support, software development, legal analysis and internal operations, a new data exposure surface has quietly emerged. It does not sit in databases, file systems or network links. It…

Why boards should be obsessed with their most ‘boring’ systems

Following a series of high-profile cyberattacks, boards of directors are now requiring their organizations to take greater responsibility for the risks posed by enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems pose after a series of high-profile cyberattacks. The Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), incident in Sept. 2025 illustrates the severe consequences of such attacks. The cyberattack forced JLR…

Building trust with the board through evidence-based proof

Cybersecurity is a boardroom issue, but meaningful dialogue often breaks down at the table. Boards ask about cybersecurity investments and cyber resilience; they need answers rooted in reality, not prognostication. When cybersecurity leaders respond with a list of technologies deployed and potential risks that require additional investment, board members may get frustrated by a lack…

Software supply chain risks join the OWASP top 10 list, access control still on top

Software supply chain failures and mishandling of exceptional conditions are some of the additions to the updated OWASP Top 10, a list of top web application vulnerabilities. Most of the list has remained unchanged since 2021. In fact, the top item, broken access control, has been on the Open Worldwide Application Security Project’s list since…

OpenClaw or Open Door? Prompt Injection Creates AI Backdoors

OpenClaw has come under review after researchers at Zenity showed how it could be misused to establish persistent access.  Rather than exploiting a software vulnerability, the technique relies on indirect prompt injection to influence the agent’s behavior and maintain ongoing control with minimal user involvement. “This attack demonstrates how a persistent command and control channel…
