Four questions to answer if a security product will survive in the AI-first world

AI is changing the world faster than anyone could have predicted. This isn’t because it is taking over jobs (this would be too simplistic), but because it is slowly taking over a growing number of tasks that used to be done by humans. Security is not in any way immune to these changes, and I…

AI cyber capability is speeding past earlier projections

AI cyber capability is improving faster than expected, with newer models surpassing earlier projections, according to the UK government’s AI Security Institute (AISI). AISI measures AI cyber capability using “time horizon benchmarks”, which estimate how long AI systems can complete cybersecurity tasks autonomously compared to human experts. “In February 2026, we estimated that frontier models’…

Apricorn hardens ASK3 encrypted USB drive for extreme conditions

Apricorn has announced enhancements to its Aegis Secure Key 3.0 (ASK3), delivering faster performance and new environmental protection capabilities designed to secure the device and its data in the most demanding physical circumstances. The ASK3 was updated to meet and exceed the latest NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) for FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation,…

Zimperium Mobile App Response Agent helps security teams counter mobile attacks

Zimperium launched Mobile App Response Agent, enabling security teams to respond faster than ever before to fraud and security threats. Leveraging Zimperium’s expertise in mobile security, Mobile App Response Agent is part of Zimperium’s Mobile App Protection Suite (MAPS), empowering SOC and fraud teams to assess attacks on their mobile app before they result in…

⚡ Weekly Recap: AI-Powered Phishing, Android Spying Tool, Linux Exploit, GitHub RCE & More

This week, the shadows moved faster than the patches. While most teams were still triaging last month’s alerts, attackers had already turned control panels into kill switches, kernels into open doors, and open-source pipelines into silent delivery systems. The game has shifted from breach to occupation. They’re living inside SaaS sessions, pushing code with trusted…

Anthropic launches Claude Security to counter rapid AI-Powered exploits

Anthropic launched Claude Security to counter faster AI-driven cyberattacks, as tools like Mythos enable near-instant exploitation by threat actors. Anthropic introduced Claude Security to help defenders keep up with a surge in AI-powered cyberattacks. As models like Mythos drastically reduce the time needed to exploit vulnerabilities, similar tools will likely spread among criminals and nation-state…

Trigona ransomware adopts custom tool to steal data and evade detection

Trigona ransomware now uses a custom command-line tool to steal data faster and evade detection, replacing tools like Rclone and MegaSync. Symantec researchers report that recent Trigona ransomware attacks used a custom-built data exfiltration tool instead of common utilities like Rclone or MegaSync. This shift, seen in March 2026 incidents, gives attackers more control and…

Silobreaker Mimir adds agentic AI to intelligence workflows with governance and transparency

Silobreaker has announced new agentic AI capabilities that combine faster research and deeper contextual analysis with built-in governance and transparency to ensure trusted intelligence can be safely consumed across the wider enterprise. Silobreaker Mimir is an embedded agentic capability for intelligence operations, working directly within the analyst workflow. It helps teams retrieve evidence, deepen analysis,…

Webinar: The IT Leader’s Guide to AI Governance

Generative AI is moving from experimentation to everyday enterprise use, often faster than governance models were designed to support. As adoption accelerates, organizations are navigating the evolving landscape with new questions around security, data privacy, compliance, and control, all while being asked to enable innovation at speed. This 30 to 35-minute conversation offers practical perspectives…

OpenAI expands its cyber defense program with GPT-5.4-Cyber for vetted researchers

Defending critical software has long depended on the ability to find and fix vulnerabilities faster than attackers can exploit them. OpenAI is expanding a program designed to give professional defenders prioritized access to AI tools built for that purpose. The company is scaling its Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program to thousands of verified individual…

AI adoption is outpacing the safeguards around it

AI is becoming part of professional and private life, reaching mainstream adoption faster than the personal computer or the internet. These systems are tested in reasoning, safety, and real-world tasks, but the reliability of those measurements remains uncertain. The 2026 AI Index from Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence outlines the broader environment around this…

Armis State of Cyberwarfare Report: AI-Powered Cyber Attacks Accelerate Worldwide

Cyberwarfare has entered a new phase — and it’s moving faster than many organizations can defend against.  The 2026 State of Cyberwarfare report from Armis warns that AI-driven attacks, geopolitical tensions, and expanding digital dependencies are converging to create a constant, high-pressure threat environment for enterprises worldwide. “Modern businesses find themselves in the crosshairs of…

Crowdstrike 2026 Global Threat Report: Adversaries Use AI to Bypass Defenses

Attackers are moving faster, blending in better, and increasingly using AI to stay ahead of defenders. The Crowdstrike 2026 Global Threat Report highlights a shift toward stealthy, identity-driven attacks that are harder to detect and quicker to execute. “This is an AI arms race. Breakout time is the clearest signal of how intrusion has changed.…

Hack the Box: AI Boosts Productivity, Creates Skills Risk

AI is helping cybersecurity teams move faster than ever, but new research suggests the speed boost could come at the cost of long-term workforce risks. A new benchmark report from Hack The Box suggests that teams using AI can significantly outperform human-only cybersecurity teams, completing tasks faster and solving more challenges during simulated security competitions.…

AI Is Moving Faster Than Security Controls

AI is entering organisations faster than the security controls designed to govern it. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming embedded across organisations. AI assistants are now writing code, summarising documents, analysing data, and supporting operational decisions. What began as experimentation is quickly becoming operational dependency. For security teams, the challenge is not simply adopting AI. The…

CrowdStrike says attackers are moving through networks in under 30 minutes

Cyberattacks reached victims faster and came from a wider range of threat groups than ever last year, CrowdStrike said in its annual global threat report released Tuesday, adding that cybercriminals and nation-states increasingly relied on predictable tactics to evade detection by exploiting trusted systems. The average breakout time — how long it took financially-motivated attackers…

Cyber attacks enabled by basic failings, Palo Alto analysis finds

Cyberattacks are moving faster, shrinking the gap between initial compromise and bad consequences, and the advent of AI is accelerating their timelines in a way that human defenders can no longer keep up with. That’s the broad and perhaps unsurprising finding of Palo Alto Networks’ 2026 Global Incident Response Report, which analyzed 750 incidents in…

Webinar: How Modern SOC Teams Use AI and Context to Investigate Cloud Breaches Faster

Cloud attacks move fast — faster than most incident response teams. In data centers, investigations had time. Teams could collect disk images, review logs, and build timelines over days. In the cloud, infrastructure is short-lived. A compromised instance can disappear in minutes. Identities rotate. Logs expire. Evidence can vanish before analysis even begins. Cloud forensics…

Real-time malware defense: Leveraging AWS Network Firewall active threat defense
