Terra Security Adds Prevention Rules to Its Offensive Security Platform
Terra Security has launched Prevention, a capability that turns confirmed exploit findings into targeted Web Application Firewall or firewall rules while a permanent fix is still in progress. The feature is part of Terra Platform. When Terra confirms that a finding is exploitable, its AI agents test whether existing compensating controls stop that attack path……

Salt Debuts First AWS WAF Managed Ruleset for AI Agent and API Protection
Tags: access, ai, api, attack, ceo, credentials, detection, email, endpoint, exploit, intelligence, marketplace, threat, waf, xssThe WAF gap no one is talking about Your WAF is doing its job. It’s blocking SQLi, XSS, and the usual suspects. But here’s the problem: it wasn’t built for APIs, and it definitely wasn’t built for AI agents. APIs now power nearly every digital experience. And AI agents, the automated systems that access your…

ModSecurity Security Flaws Enable WAF Rule Evasion With Crafted HTTP Requests
ModSecurity, a widely used open-source web application firewall (WAF), has multiple security vulnerabilities that allow attackers to bypass detection with specially crafted HTTP requests. These vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2026-52761 and CVE-2026-52747, affect ModSecurity versions up to 3.0.15. They have been addressed in version 3.0.16. These issues reveal significant inconsistencies in input transformation and request parsing,…

AWS Urges Organizations to Turn Outbound Blind Spots Into Monitored Checkpoints
When securing an Amazon Web Services (AWS) estate, teams naturally concentrate on inbound protections firewalls, WAFs, and IAM policies because those defenses stop the most visible attacks. Yet outbound traffic often remains under-monitored, left permissive to avoid breaking dependencies or to simplify operations. That default laxity creates a blind spot: without egress visibility and controls,…

Webinar: What the Riskiest SOC Alerts Go Unanswered – and How Radiant Security Can Help
Why do the Riskiest SOC Alerts Go Unanswered?Security operations teams are drowning in alerts. But the real problem isn’t always alert volume; it’s the blind spots. The most dangerous alerts are the ones no one is investigating.A recent report from The Hacker News examined why certain high-risk alert categories – WAF, DLP, OT/IoT, dark web…

WAF Defense in Crisis? NSFOCUS Locks Down “Ghost Bits” Attacks in Advance
Incident Review In April 2026, Black Hat Asia 2026 disclosed a systematic security threat named Ghost Bits, targeting underlying encoding flaws in the Java ecosystem that can render mainstream WAF/IDS defenses completely ineffective. The core of this risk lies in inconsistent encoding interpretations of the same input between the security detection chain and the application……

Curity looks to reinvent IAM with runtime authorization for AI agents
Multiple approaches to agent security: Today, agent security falls into one of several camps, which include increasingly inadequate inline approaches such as API gateways and web application firewalls (WAFs), and out-of-band analysis systems that infer intent by analyzing agent behavior against a baseline.Curity’s Access Intelligence, by contrast, is a self-hosted microservice that acts as a…

Why Network Monitoring Alone Misses Application Attacks
Tags: application-security, attack, defense, detection, exploit, monitoring, network, tool, vulnerability, waf<div cla TL;DR Network security monitoring excels at traffic analysis and perimeter defense, yet research shows WAF alerts generate overwhelming noise with minimal correlation to actual exploit attempts. The gap exists because network tools operate at the packet level or network edge, while application attacks exploit vulnerabilities during code execution. Runtime application security through Application…
