The life of a Security Operations Center (SOC) analyst is one of constant cognitive overload. A relentless stream of alerts, a shortage of skilled personnel, and the ever-present threat of a sophisticated zero-day attack create a high-stakes, high-stress environment. For years, the industry has tried to solve this with Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) platforms, but these have often been rigid, rule-based systems that struggle to adapt to novel threats. Enter the next evolution: Read more…

In the world of serverless computing, IAM (Identity and Access Management) is the new perimeter. The intricate web of roles, policies, and permissions defines the security posture of your entire application. A single, seemingly minor misconfiguration in this web can create a subtle but devastating vulnerability. This is the story of the “LambdaChain” exploit, a step-by-step walkthrough of how a single, overly-permissive Lambda function can be used as the starting point for a full AWS Read more…

The era of the passkey has finally arrived. Spurred by near-universal support across major platforms, enterprises are rapidly adopting this phishing-resistant authentication standard to move away from the perennial weakness of passwords. Based on the FIDO2/WebAuthn standards, passkeys use public-key cryptography to create a secure, un-phishable credential tied to a user’s device. They are, without a doubt, a massive leap forward for security. But they are not a silver bullet. As passkey adoption reaches critical Read more…

The era of the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is officially upon us. Driven by regulatory pressure and a growing awareness of supply chain security, organizations are now diligently generating detailed lists of every component, library, and dependency baked into their software. The result? A mountain of data. And somewhere in that mountain is a critical CVE in a transitive dependency—a dependency of one of your dependencies—and your security scanner is screaming bloody murder. Welcome Read more…

For decades, the security model for Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS) relied on a simple but effective principle: the air gap. The networks that controlled physical processes in factories, power plants, and utilities were physically isolated from the corporate IT network. But in the era of Industry 4.0 and the “smart factory,” that air gap has all but vanished. The rapid deployment of private 5G networks to connect industrial IoT sensors and Read more…

The age of quantum computing is no longer a distant, theoretical threat. While the exact arrival date of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer remains a subject of debate, the danger it poses is already here. Adversaries are actively engaged in a strategy known as “harvest now, decrypt later,” where they capture and store encrypted data today with the full knowledge that they will be able to break its underlying encryption in the future. For any Read more…

In the world of cloud-native security, we’ve spent years building layers of defense around our Kubernetes clusters. We have robust Pod Security Policies, network policies, and sophisticated service meshes, all designed to isolate containers and limit the blast radius of a potential breach. But what if an attacker could simply step around all of them? That is the alarming potential of a new class of vulnerability targeting the very foundation of modern cloud-native infrastructure: eBPF. Read more…

For years, the cybersecurity world has been conditioned to think of ransomware as a monolithic threat: attackers breach a network, encrypt files on servers and endpoints, and demand a hefty sum for the decryption key. This model, while still prevalent, is becoming dangerously outdated. As we look to the security landscape of mid-2025, a far more sophisticated and damaging evolution of this threat is emerging—one that targets the very heart of modern software development: the Read more…

In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, the AI supply chain has emerged as a new and critical front in cybersecurity. As organizations increasingly leverage third-party, pre-trained models from public hubs like Hugging Face, a new and insidious threat has taken root: AI model poisoning. This threat report provides a deep-dive analysis of a hypothetical but plausible vulnerability, CVE-2025-13370, which we’ve dubbed “ModelMeld.” This vulnerability illustrates how a compromised AI model can be turned Read more…

## From Analyst to Architect: Using a Generative AI SOAR to Automate Triage of a Zero-Day Attack **A Case Study and Tutorial for SOC Analysts, Incident Responders, and Security Automation Engineers** The modern Security Operations Center (SOC) is a battlefield. Analysts are outnumbered, outgunned, and overwhelmed by a relentless barrage of alerts. The promise of Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) was supposed to be the great equalizer, a force multiplier that would allow us Read more…
