The Vulnerability Monitoring Service has transformed how quickly we can spot and fix weaknesses before they're exploited so we can protect against that. We've cut cyber attack fix times by 84% and reduced the backlog of critical issues by three-quarters. And as the service expands to cover more types of cyber threats, fix times are falling there, too.

The prototypical psychopath is pictured as callous, unemotional, impulsive, and fearless. While psychopaths may seem fearless, it does not mean they are not fearful. Fearlessness is not always the opposite of fearfulness. From my own observation, the psychopathic female is especially fearful and anxious. Psychopaths can experience fear Psychopathy researchers Sylco Hoppenbrouwers, Berend Bulten, and Inti Brazil analyzed 16 research reports relating to psychopathy that included measures of fear.

AI-enabled supply chain attacks are exploding in scale and sophistication - Malicious package uploads to open-source repositories jumped 156% in the past year. AI-generated malware has game-changing characteristics - It's polymorphic by default, context-aware, semantically camouflaged, and temporally evasive. Real attacks are already happening - From the 3CX breach affecting 600,000 companies to NullBulge attacks weaponizing Hugging Face and GitHub repositories.

A comprehensive survey of 282 security leaders at companies across industries reveals a stark reality facing modern Security Operations Centers: alert volumes have reached unsustainable levels, forcing teams to leave critical threats uninvestigated. You can download the full report here. The research, conducted primarily among US-based organizations, shows that AI adoption in security operations has shifted from experimental to essential as teams struggle to keep pace with an ever-growing stream of security alerts.

I think what you're seeing now is the adversaries, the bad guys, they're basically focused on, 'look where's the weakest link, where is the place where we've spent the least?' And infrastructure people are about throughput and speed and access, and security is about protection. And if you have a domain that is split between those two, you're going to find weaknesses.

API security is no longer optional - it's fundamental to maintaining business continuity and trust. Without robust measures, organizations risk significant data and trust losses.

AWS's expansion of GuardDuty's capabilities now includes runtime monitoring for EKS clusters, enhancing threat detection for container-level threats through managed eBPF technology.

The real danger in this case isn't the ransom note - it's how Fog turns a simple screen-recorder into a hidden camera. Software is an essential driver of growth and innovation for every company; however, business apps we install on autopilot can suddenly become spy tools, which means trust is the weak spot. Security teams should keep a live map of where every monitoring app is allowed to run and flag it the moment one pops up somewhere odd.

Permiso's platform uniquely addresses identity threats by combining risk management with comprehensive monitoring of both human and non-human identities across environments.
