As researchers warn that misaligned AI could threaten human survival, even beneficial systems may erode the critical thinking that defines our humanity.
Security leaders are struggling to modernize cyber hygiene and prevent over-privileged agents from causing unintended harm.
The flaw allows attackers to send files and execute them without authorization through an active remote session.
Every leaked credential should be dead, or dying, within sixty seconds of being found. Here’s a proposal to make that the default.
Security teams must treat autonomous agents as highly privileged identities.
For twenty-five years, “data” in security meant logs and events. But logs are a lossy representation of reality.
Organizations must distinguish identity verification, authentication and threat detection, or risk successfully authenticating the attackers they are trying to stop.
Silent patches can become exploit intelligence for attackers while leaving defenders without the context needed to prioritize risk.
Explore what it takes to operationalize continuous authorization at scale, including the technical, organizational, and cultural changes required.
RegisterJoin as speakers examine the various components of ASM strategy, the push to mandate continuous asset visibility and inventory tools, and the use of red-teaming, bug bounties and pen-tests in modern security programs.
