Types of AI Agent Attacks: A Security Team's Taxonomy

May 30, 2026 By Ben Hirschberg In ARMO
A security team running agents in production can already list the ways those agents get attacked: prompt injection, memory poisoning, tool abuse, model tampering, agent-to-agent coercion. The list is not the problem. The problem is that a security architect can recite all five and still not know which ones their detection stack will catch, because the way the field catalogs these attacks says nothing about whether the attack is catchable.

The AI Agent Attack Kill Chain: Which Stages You Can Actually Detect

May 30, 2026 By Shauli Rozen In ARMO
The early stages of an AI agent attack are silent. The poisoning, the hijacked intent, the reconnaissance: none of it executes, so none of it produces a runtime signal, and the kill-chain instinct every security team runs on says exactly the wrong thing here: break the earliest link. There is no early link to break. You cannot detect a stage that emits nothing.

Tool Call Analysis for AI Attack Detection: Reading What Rides Inside the Call

May 30, 2026 By Yossi Ben Naim In ARMO
A compromised agent doesn’t make a single call it isn’t allowed to make. It queries a table it’s authorized to read, calls a tool it’s authorized to use, sends to a domain that’s on the allowlist. Every call is legal. The attack is in the values it passes, and your tool-call log records all of it as a clean day’s work. A tool call has two layers. Almost every tool you run reads the first one: the call itself: which tool, in what order, at what rate.

Brand Impersonation Protection: How to Detect, Disrupt, and Stop Impersonation Attacks

May 29, 2026 By Craig Currim In Memcyco
Brand impersonation protection helps enterprises detect, disrupt, and stop impersonation attacks where criminals imitate trusted brands, websites, apps, domains, ads, or digital journeys to deceive users and steal credentials, data, money, or access. The goal is not to stop every fake asset from ever appearing. That is not realistic.

On The Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, David Chernitzky, CEO and co-founder of Armour Cybersecurity, explains why the gap between how large organizations understand AI-driven threats and how smaller ones do is widening fast.

How to detect HTTP/2 abuse in Apache web server logs

May 27, 2026 By Mallory Mooney In Datadog
Apache HTTP Server is one of the most popular web servers in use today for engineering teams, and its prevalence naturally makes it a frequent target for attackers. In May 2026, the Apache Software Foundation patched CVE-2026-23918, a high-severity double-free vulnerability in Apache 2.4.66’s mod_http2 module. For teams not using Apache’s MPM prefork, the vulnerability would enable an attacker to crash worker processes or achieve remote code execution (RCE) in some specific cases.

Defending Against the Next Generation of Agentic Attacks

May 27, 2026 By Cato Networks In Cato Networks
The attack lifecycle is compressing. Frontier AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT-5.5-Cyber can help bad actors research vulnerabilities, test approaches, adapt code, and change delivery methods at machine speed and scale. That reduces the time, skill, and coordination needed to move from vulnerability discovery to active attack. When attacks behave this way, security needs to operate in real time with full visibility and context across the attack path.

When AI changes the rules, attackers adapt

The dominant narrative around AI in security is one of emboldened defenders suppressing attackers. Yet, not everyone is convinced the future will be so rosy. In a recent Defender Fridays episode, Josh Neil, Co-founder and CTO of Alpha Level, made an argument that cuts against the celebratory mood: as AI makes known attack vectors harder to use, adversaries don't disappear. They adapt. For MSSPs and SOC teams, an adversary that looks like a user is a harder problem than one that looks like malware.
