AI Just Solved the Wrong Half of Cybersecurity

By / Blog / ,

The article discusses how AI, exemplified by Anthropic's Claude Mythos, has revolutionized cybersecurity by autonomously discovering thousands of vulnerabilities, including a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD, but highlights a critical issue: while detection has dramatically improved, the capacity to patch and remediate these vulnerabilities remains severely lagging. This “discovery-to-patch gap” presents a major security challenge, especially for open-source projects maintained by small teams, necessitating urgent industry focus on prioritization, remediation speed, and treating AI models themselves as part of the security threat landscape.

Why It’s Time to Stop Blaming Staff for Breaches

By / Blog / , ,

Security awareness training has been widely adopted by companies but has not significantly reduced breaches, largely because it fails to keep pace with sophisticated, AI-driven, personalized phishing attacks. Experts argue that technology must do more to block threats before reaching employees, and training should be targeted, relevant, and supported by a positive security culture that encourages reporting mistakes rather than punishing them.

How the EU’s NIS2 Directive Is Changing How CIOs Think About Digital Infrastructure

By / Blog / , , , , ,

The EU’s NIS2 directive is prompting CIOs to rethink digital infrastructure by extending risk accountability beyond individual organizations to encompass the entire ecosystem of interconnected providers, including cloud platforms and network operators. This shift emphasizes designing resilient systems that can continue operating despite failures in any part of the network, moving resilience from a compliance exercise to a strategic priority focused on infrastructure architecture and connectivity.

Vulnerability Exploitation Surges Often Precede Disclosure, Offering Possible Early Warnings

By / Blog / ,

A new GreyNoise report reveals that surges in the exploitation of software vulnerabilities often occur weeks before vendors publicly disclose the flaws, providing potential early warnings for organizations. The study found that nearly half of exploitation surges between December 2025 and March 2026 preceded vulnerability disclosures within three weeks, suggesting that timely threat intelligence on attack activity could enable companies to better prepare and protect their systems before vulnerabilities become widely known.

Time for Government, Business Leaders to Figure Out AI Cybersecurity Regulation

By / Blog / , ,

Cybersecurity experts warn that the rising capabilities of agentic AI, while useful for combating cybercrime, also pose significant risks as bad actors use AI to exploit vulnerabilities, threatening personal data, the economy, and national security. They emphasize the urgent need for government and business leaders to establish clear AI cybersecurity regulations, balancing innovation with liability and prevention, to better protect against increasingly sophisticated AI-enabled cyberattacks such as phishing and software breaches.

73% of CISOs Unprepared for the Next Big Cyber Attack, Incident Response Readiness Report Reveals

By / Blog / , , ,

Sygnia's 2026 CISO Survey reveals that 73% of senior cybersecurity leaders feel unprepared to effectively execute incident response in the event of a significant cyberattack, despite widespread adoption of formal IR plans. Key challenges include organizational friction, visibility gaps across IT and OT environments, and a rapidly expanding threat landscape driven by AI, underscoring the critical need for improved executive alignment, comprehensive visibility, and strategic integration of AI to enhance cyber readiness.

What’s Wrong With Cybersecurity Behaviors and Attitudes? Pretty Much Everything, New Survey Reveals

By / Blog / ,

A recent survey conducted by the National Cybersecurity Alliance reveals a troubling decline in cybersecurity behaviors and attitudes over the past five years, with increasing fatalism, confusion, and frustration among people. Despite higher awareness, practices such as using strong passwords, enabling multifactor authentication, and conducting regular security checks are declining, largely due to the complexity and psychological fatigue of current security environments. Experts suggest reimagining cybersecurity training to make it more engaging, personalized, and accessible to counteract apathy and improve protective actions.

Businesses Are Paying the Price for CISO Burnout

By / Blog / , , ,

Burnout among chief information security officers (CISOs) poses a significant business risk beyond its personal impact, as it leads to high turnover, short tenures, and weakened security leadership continuity. Factors such as expanding job responsibilities, constant threat pressures, limited resources, and lack of enterprise-wide influence contribute to this issue, resulting in reactive security programs, increased costs, and diminished organizational resilience. Experts warn that addressing CISO burnout requires realistic job design, adequate support, authority, and resource allocation to ensure better retention and stronger business outcomes.

Two Different Attackers Poisoned Popular Open Source Tools

By / Blog / ,

In March 2026, two separate supply chain attacks targeted popular open source tools—Trivy, a vulnerability scanner used by over 100,000 users, and Axios, a widely used JavaScript library—infecting them with malware to steal credentials from thousands of organizations. These attacks, attributed to distinct groups including a North Korean-linked threat actor and a cybercrime collective called TeamPCP, demonstrate a growing trend of sophisticated supply chain compromises that leverage social engineering and AI to exploit developer environments, underscoring the urgent need for improved software bill-of-materials (SBOMs) and enhanced security measures.

How to Protect Your Organization From AirSnitch Wi-Fi Vulnerabilities

By / Blog / , ,

The AirSnitch family of vulnerabilities exposes critical flaws in Wi-Fi client isolation features, allowing attackers connected to a guest network to access or inject traffic into other devices on the same access point, even across different SSIDs protected by WPA2 or WPA3. This attack exploits how access points handle group keys and packet routing, undermining the security of guest networks by enabling traffic injection and potential man-in-the-middle attacks without breaking encryption.
