Shadow AI Emerges as Unseen Threat in Enterprise Security
As AI assistants and automation services increasingly seep into everyday use, employers are faced with a daunting question: are productivity gains worth the risk of losing control? Employees are quietly adopting unsanctioned AI tools, often blurring the lines between efficiency and security.
SOCs Face Multisystem Threats
In today's complex threat landscape, who's accountable when a single intrusion spreads across multiple systems, from Windows laptops to MacBooks, Linux servers, and mobile devices? The harsh reality is that no single team can contain it, as modern attack surfaces and campaigns have outgrown traditional Security Operations Center (SOC) workflows.
Securing Identities in a Decentralized Workforce
In today's decentralized workforce, the traditional network perimeter has disappeared, leaving us with a pressing question: who's responsible for securing identities when and where work happens? The shift to hybrid work has created a diffuse and distributed perimeter, where users and applications are scattered across various networks, devices, and clouds, making it harder for traditional security models to keep up.
Linx Security Bolsters Identity Governance with $50M Funding

AI Browsers Exclusive: Security Leaders Call Risky
Before you roll out agentic browsers, pause—security leaders warn these AI-powered tools can trade productivity for stealthy new attack surfaces. With embedded models, persistent state and plugins able to act for users, CISOs are being urged to block or tightly control them until hardened safeguards arrive.
Logitech Breach Prompts Stunning Critical Security Response
The confirmed Logitech breach is a wake‑up call for anyone with vendor integrations. Security leaders recommend treating third‑party access as an attack vector — audit entitlements, tighten tokens and OAuth scopes, and boost detection to stop downstream damage.
Weekly Recap Exclusive: Critical Fortinet and AI Breaches
Who watches the watchers? This week’s cascade of breaches shows attackers weaponizing trusted infrastructure — from Fortinet gear to VPNs, app stores and AI — turning familiar tools into stealthy, profitable attack platforms that slip past alert fatigue and outdated defenses.
OpenAI Assistants API Exclusive: Critical SesameOp Backdoor
Imagine your helpful AI assistant secretly moonlighting as a command-and-control courier — researchers found the SesameOp backdoor using OpenAI’s Assistants API to stealthily ferry attacker commands and exfiltrated data.
