AI pentesting can uncover vulnerabilities missed by human testers, but it also has limitations in consistency, risk assessment, and understanding business context. Intruder compares the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches and explains where AI agents can improve security testing. [...]

AI-powered penetration testing can uncover complex attack paths, but safety restrictions and network limitations leave many assets and vulnerabilities untested. Picus Security explains how combining agentic pentesting with exposure validation and breach simulation can help close these gaps. [...]

Attackers continue exploiting gaps in MFA coverage, using stolen credentials to access VPNs, RDP, and Windows systems that still rely on passwords alone. Specops explains why protecting cloud applications isn't enough and how organizations can close these authentication gaps. [...]

A new Windows malware loader called AvisLoader uses encrypted peer-to-peer communications to make command-and-control infrastructure harder to disrupt. Varonis researchers explain how the malware uses ClickFix delivery, shortcut-based persistence, and remote command execution capabilities. [...]

Traditional attack surface management helps organizations discover exposed assets, but visibility alone is not enough to address threats. Criminal IP introduces AITEM, an AI-powered approach that connects exposure discovery with investigation, risk prioritization, and response. [...]

AI agents can use valid credentials to perform actions beyond their assigned permissions, creating risks that traditional access controls may not prevent. Token Security explains how organizations can enforce agent-specific policies without sacrificing autonomy. [...]

OAuth grants create data highways between SaaS apps, AI agents, and other tools. And, they are multiplying faster than any security team can review them. As the recent Klue breach showed, attackers are taking notice and exploiting forgotten OAuth grants to gain access to corporate data. This article covers why OAuth risks are so hard [...]

Ransomware groups are increasingly targeting backup infrastructure to eliminate recovery options and increase pressure on victims to pay. Kaseya explains why organizations need isolated, immutable, and regularly tested backups that attackers cannot easily reach. [...]

RMM platforms give MSPs privileged access across customer environments, making their security controls critical to limiting risk. Acronis outlines eight controls MSPs should test when evaluating RMM software, from patching and privileged access to recovery and tenant isolation. [...]

tenfold has added shared content governance and real-time event auditing to its free Community Edition for organizations with under 150 users. The new features help teams manage Microsoft 365 sharing and investigate suspicious identity activity. [...]

Browser-based attacks can steal sessions, abuse extensions, or manipulate users without creating the endpoint artifacts EDR is designed to detect. NordLayer explains three ways attacks can evade endpoint telemetry and why browser-level controls can help close the gap. [...]

Zero Trust can verify users once they are established, but onboarding creates a gap where organizations must decide who to trust before strong authentication exists. Specops explains why identity verification should begin before credentials, MFA methods, and access are issued. [...]

Persistent AI coworkers may operate continuously with standing access, creating identity risks that existing security models were not designed to handle. Token Security explains why these agents need their own identities, owners, scoped permissions, and lifecycle controls. [...]

Identity governance helps control who should have access, but periodic reviews alone may not reveal attacks as they happen. tenfold Software explains how real-time identity telemetry can help security teams investigate suspicious activity before it escalates. [...]

Infostealer logs exposed AI account credentials and sessions tied to more than 80,000 corporate domains, creating risks ranging from stolen conversations to LLMjacking. SOCRadar examines the growing market for stolen AI logins and how organizations can identify their exposure. [...]

AI agents can operate through human credentials and take actions that existing SOC 2 controls may not distinguish from human activity. Token Security explains why SOC 2 needs to adapt to address the security gaps created by agent identities. [...]

FedRAMP's new VDR and VER requirements make vulnerability management more continuous, with faster scanning, tighter remediation deadlines, and stronger evidence requirements. Anecdotes explains why the December 7 deadline is just the beginning of a broader shift toward continuous, automated compliance validation. [...]

A Kubernetes user with limited permissions can potentially gain control of an entire Google Cloud organization by exploiting the authority granted to Google Kubernetes Config Connector. Varonis explains how this confused deputy problem can turn a single Kubernetes YAML file into a path to organization-wide privilege escalation. [...]

Shadow IT can leave security teams unaware of unmanaged endpoints, unauthorized software, and other assets that fall outside existing monitoring. Wazuh explains how endpoint inventory, agentless monitoring, and centralized analysis can help organizations identify and reduce these visibility gaps. [...]
