Sophos Active Adversary Report 2026: Identity attacks dominate as threat groups proliferate
Two-thirds of security incidents traced back to identity-related weaknesses as attackers move faster and strike after hours.

The Latest Cybersecurity News & Insights From Around The World
AI isn't replacing SOC teams. It's elevating them.
AI has radically transformed the way SOC teams operate, but how is it affecting the people behind the work? For our recent Voice of Security 2026 report, we surveyed over 1,800 global security professionals to find out. We wanted to understand not only AI’s impact on security careers, but how teams really feel about these shifts. The results show that despite rising workloads and widespread burnout across security teams, sentiment toward AI is largely positive.
CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report: The Evasive Adversary Wields AI
As cyber defenses become stronger, adversaries continue to evolve their tactics to succeed. In 2025, the year of the evasive adversary, the threat landscape was defined by attacks that targeted trusted relationships, demonstrated fluency with AI tools, and incorporated tradecraft tailored to exploit security blind spots.
Introducing the AIDA Orchestration Agent: Always-On Human Risk Management Has Arrived
Social engineering remains the most reliable way into an organization—and attackers are getting better at it every day. According to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, up to 68% of breaches involve social engineering. AI has only widened the gap. More than 95% of cybersecurity professionals say AI-generated phishing is harder to detect, and Microsoft reports that AI-generated phishing emails are 4.5x more successful than manually created ones.
Protecting Against Prompt Injection at the Data Layer, Not the Prompt Layer
Most teams try to fix prompt injection in the prompt itself. They add guardrails. They rewrite system messages. They stack more instructions on top of instructions. It feels productive. It is also fragile. Prompt injection is not just a prompt problem. It is a data problem. And if you treat it like a wording problem instead of a data control problem, you will keep playing defense. Let’s unpack why.
AI Data Governance Framework: A Step-by-Step Implementation Guide
AI data governance is the structured framework that ensures sensitive data remains protected when artificial intelligence systems are used. Traditional data governance focuses on data at rest. It manages databases, access controls, storage policies, and compliance documentation. AI fundamentally changes the environment, and hence, understanding AI data and privacy is crucial. When organizations use large language models, AI agents, or retrieval-based systems, data flows dynamically.
Introducing Forescout VistaroAI | The First SkillsBased Agentic AI for Cybersecurity
Meet Forescout VistaroAI, the first skills‑based agentic AI for cybersecurity. Forescout VistaroAI I thinks like a security expert, not a chatbot. It uses cybersecurity‑specific, preprogrammed skills to analyze anomalies, interpret posture changes, and automatically highlight affected assets. It eliminates the need for prompt engineering, providing role-based automation with human-in-the-loop control. The result is faster, more accurate decisions, and clearer starting points for real investigations.
The Coming Regulatory Wave for AI Agents & Their APIs
For the past two years, the adoption of Generative AI has felt like a gold rush. Organizations raced to integrate Large Language Models and build autonomous agents to assist employees. They often bypassed standard governance processes in the name of speed and innovation. That era of unrestricted experimentation is rapidly drawing to a close. A massive regulatory wave is forming worldwide. Frameworks like the EU AI Act and the new ISO/IEC 42001 standard are forcing a corporate reckoning.
Meet Seema: A Simpler Way to Understand Risk
Getting clear answers about your security risk shouldn’t require hours of manual work or deep platform expertise. Meet Seema – Seemplicity’s new AI assistant designed to translate complex remediation data into plain-spoken, actionable insights. Whether you’re a practitioner investigating a specific vulnerability, an engineer needing context on a finding, or a leader briefing on overall risk, Seema provides the clarity you need to move from data to action.
How 1Password secures agent architectures
Since 1Password began, we have built security into the places where work actually happens. Security is not treated as an overlay or a separate workflow, we build directly into the browser, command lines, developer tools, and IDEs, where decisions are made and actions take place. We believe that if you want to improve security outcomes, you build where the work happens, making the secure path the simplest one.
