Tags: attack, automation, cyber, data-breach, macOS, risk, tool, vulnerability

Researchers are warning that widely trusted local tools such as macOS’s textutil and KeePassXC can pose unexpected security risks when used within automated workflows. The issue is not traditional vulnerabilities such as memory corruption or code execution, but how normal features behave when exposed to attacker-controlled input. Many engineering teams treat built-in utilities as safe…
The ‘manager of agents’: How AI evolves the SOC analyst role

From doing the work to directing it: What agentic AI introduces into the SOC is the ability to delegate.Instead of analysts manually gathering evidence and stitching together context, AI agents can now autonomously execute investigative steps: Querying systems, correlating signals and building evidence chains in real time. It doesn’t remove the human from the process.…
