Artificial intelligence is no longer just an emerging technology in security operations and modern SIEMs. AI agents now enrich alerts, drive investigations, generate reports, and increasingly act as extensions of human analysts. But as with any powerful technology, new risk surfaces follow. From the Exabeam perspective, every entity in your environment deserves protection.

Prompt guardrails are a common first line of defense against client-level LLM application attacks, such as prompt injection and context poisoning. They’re also a critical component of a full defense-in-depth strategy for LLM security at the infrastructure, supply chain, and application level. The specific guardrails that teams implement depend highly on use case, but they are typically designed to.

Introducing third-party AI into your systems can be a milestone for productivity and growth, but it also expands your attack surface in unpredictable ways. If your AI vendors have weak controls, threats like data poisoning and algorithm failure can ripple through your systems.

Patrick Orzechowski (also known as “PO”) is Torq’s Field CISO, bringing his years of experience and expertise as a SOC leader to our customers. PO is a seasoned security veteran with a deep understanding of the modern security landscape. You can find him talking to SOC leaders and CISOs from major brands at cybersecurity events around the world. Every SOC has an escalation process — but not every SOC has one that is truly effective.

Threat actors are abusing X’s generative AI bot Grok to spread phishing links, according to researchers at ESET. The attackers achieve this by tricking Grok into thinking it’s answering a question, and providing a link in its answer. “In this attack campaign, threat actors circumvent X’s ban on links in promoted posts (designed to fight malvertising) by running video card posts featuring clickbait videos,” ESET says.

I’ve spent my career building and defending. I’ve seen the beauty of innovation and the brutality of cyber warfare. I’ve sat shoulder-to-shoulder with security engineers and platform teams in the trenches at 3AM responding to state-backed attacks where context and speed meant survival. In those moments, one truth becomes painfully clear: With AI, that gap just became a chasm. Agentic AI didn’t bend the rules of software — it rewrote them. Code now evolves in real time.

We found a path traversal vulnerability in Smithery.ai that compromised over 3,000 MCP servers and exposed thousands of API keys. Here's how a single Docker build bug nearly triggered one of the largest AI supply chain attacks to date.

Netwrix’s culture of innovation thrives on curiosity, collaboration, and accountability. From integrating AI across development and customer experience to fostering cross-team creativity, innovation here moves sideways as much as it does down. During Innovation Week, leaders explore how AI and the 1Secure Platform are redefining data and identity security for the future.
