A White House directive and a decade of CVE data have turned “write it in a memory-safe language” into actual engineering policy at the companies that build the software underneath everything else.
Tracebit found that planting text designed to trigger an AI model's own safety guardrails inside decoy credentials stops autonomous hacking agents far more effectively than canary tokens alone.
BEC fraud cost US businesses $3.05 billion in 2025. Cheap, accurate voice cloning now defeats the phone-callback verification companies have relied on for a decade — here's what actually replaces it.
API keys, service accounts, and AI agents have quietly become the largest identity population inside most enterprises — and most security teams have no inventory of them at all.
Bug bounty programs are shifting money from discovery to remediation as AI-generated reports swamp open-source maintainers. The fix is to pay for proven, merged patches, not for submissions.
NIST's transition framework and NSA's CNSA 2.0 mandate now have fixed dates: RSA-2048 deprecated by 2030, disallowed by 2035. Here's what actually needs to happen before then — and why most IT teams haven't started.
Three weeks after patches shipped, 122,000+ MikroTik routers are still exposed. The bug wasn't the hard part — figuring out who's responsible for updating forgotten hardware is.
Disclosure-to-exploitation time has fallen from 56 days to roughly 10 hours, but vendor patch cycles still average 15-55 days. Here's what four recent breaches reveal about the new math of vulnerability response.
Premiums have dropped for four straight years and fewer victims pay ransoms — but recovery costs hit $1.7 million per incident in 2026. The market is pricing the wrong risk.
Rust isn't replacing C and C++ wholesale, but targeted rewrites of kernel drivers, coreutils, and Android components are measurably reducing memory-safety bugs where they've actually shipped.
Enterprise security teams built years of defenses around DLP, CASB, and EDR — none of which can see what an AI browser extension is doing inside the DOM. That blind spot is now being actively exploited.
Service accounts, API keys, and workload identities now outnumber human logins by more than 40 to 1 in most cloud environments — and almost nobody is tracking them properly. Here's why that gap is becoming the top entry point for breaches, and what a real fix looks like.
