Ransomware’s New Era: Moving at AI Speed

By / Blog / , , ,

Ransomware attacks are accelerating in speed and sophistication, with threat actors increasingly using artificial intelligence to quickly exploit valid credentials and bypass traditional security tools like endpoint detection and response (EDR). Reports from Halcyon and Arctic Wolf highlight that ransomware tactics have evolved from encrypting data to multi-extortion schemes and direct victim targeting, while AI enables automated, high-fidelity social engineering, making defense more challenging and emphasizing the need for improved access management and transparency in cybersecurity efforts.

The Importance of Behavioral Analytics in AI-Enabled Cyber Attacks

By / Blog / ,

AI-enabled cyber attacks are evolving to use automation and mimic legitimate user behavior, enabling cybercriminals to conduct highly personalized phishing, credential abuse, and adaptive malware attacks that bypass traditional security models. To counter these threats, behavioral analytics must advance into dynamic, context-aware identity-based risk modeling that continuously monitors user activities across the entire security stack, enabling real-time detection of subtle anomalies and privilege misuse in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Shadow AI Has Already Moved Into Your Organization

By / Blog / , , ,

The article explains that “shadow AI” is already widespread in organizations, as employees use public or unapproved AI tools to speed up work without going through IT or security review. Because these tools can be accessed instantly in a browser, blocking them is often ineffective, resulting in lost visibility into how company data is used. The article concludes that organizations must shift from trying to prohibit AI use to creating governance frameworks, approved tools, and clear policies that enable productivity while maintaining security and compliance.
