The Hidden Security Risks of Shadow AI in Enterprises
As AI tools become more accessible, employees are adopting them without formal approval from IT and security teams. While these tools may boost productivity, automate tasks, or fill gaps in existing workflows, they also operate outside the visibility of security teams, bypassing controls and creating new blind spots in what is known as shadow AI.…

Microsoft Details How Defender Protects High-Value Assets in Real-World Attacks
Microsoft has significantly upgraded its Defender platform to automatically detect and block sophisticated cyberattacks targeting High-Value Assets (HVAs) like domain controllers and web servers. By leveraging the new Microsoft Security Exposure Management tool, the system now uses context-aware intelligence to easily distinguish normal administrative tasks from malicious activities on critical network infrastructure. As cyberattacks become…

Fake Security Tool Spreads LucidRook in Taiwan Cyberattacks
Hackers are using fake security tools and cleverly crafted phishing emails to secretly deploy a new malware family, LucidRook, against organizations in Taiwan. The campaign, tracked as UAT-10362, focuses on Taiwanese NGOs and likely universities and shows a high level of planning, stealth, and technical sophistication. The operation relies on spear-phishing emails sent via what appears…

Your MCP Server Is a Resource Server Now. Act Like It.
TL;DR, Without an identity layer, AI agents accessing enterprise tools create real exposure: data exfiltration through unscoped access, audit failures when no one can trace which user authorized which tool call, and lateral movement when a compromised agent inherits a service account’s permissions. This post shows how to deploy an identity gateway with OPA… First…

Data trust is the hidden reason most AI initiatives fail
Ready, Fire, AI. Ninety percent of enterprises are already running Enterprise GenAI at scale. That number comes from new research conducted by MIND in partnership with CISO ExecNet, and it should give every security leader pause. Not because AI adoption is surprising. But because of what sits directly beneath it. Although 90% of organizations are…

LLM-generated passwords are indefensible. Your codebase may already prove it
Temperature is not a remedy: A reflexive objection from practitioners familiar with LLM configuration holds that increasing sampling temperature would attenuate these distributional biases by flattening the probability landscape from which characters are drawn. Irregular’s empirical results are unambiguous in refuting this intuition. Testing conducted at temperature 1.0, the maximum setting on Claude, produces no…

What Anthropic Glasswing reveals about the future of vulnerability discovery
From backlog management to exposure-window risk: The issue, as Williams frames it, is not simply how many vulnerabilities exist, but how they are managed. “Mythos makes one thing painfully clear,” he says. “This is not a prioritization problem. It’s an exposure-window problem.”Traditional vulnerability management has been built around prioritization, ranking issues by severity, exploitability, and…
