Why Kuwait's WAMD penalty framework demands real-time payment visibility and in-flight fraud prevention

When Kuwait launched the WAMD real-time payment rail in 2024, the goal was clear: Enable banks and financial institutions to add speed, convenience and resilience to the country’s national payment infrastructure. Facilitated by the KNET Payment Gateway under the supervision of the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK), the service has become such a key part of the country’s digital banking ecosystem that the CBK is making it crystal clear that real-time must also mean reliable.

8 ways I use Graph to uncover fraud rings

As a fraud analyst at Persona, I have to balance working on fraud escalations for specific customers and keeping an eye on cross-customer (and cross-industry and cross-region) fraud trends. The work naturally overlaps, as one escalation can turn into a trend as fraud rings move on to new targets. And, getting ahead of large trends helps us stop escalations. I have a lot of tools at my disposal, but I want to discuss Graph, Persona’s real-time link analysis product.

Introducing Persona's Workday Recruiting integration for candidate verification

Imagine spending weeks moving a strong job candidate through a rigorous interview process. The hiring manager is excited for their new hire and collaborates with multiple teams to prepare for a smooth onboarding. But on day one, a completely different person shows up for the job. For too many companies, scenarios like this have become disturbingly common. Besides introducing serious security risks, fake job candidates waste valuable talent team resources.

Our comments to NIST: AI agent security starts with human identity verification

AI agents have developed advanced capabilities faster than most would have imagined. In enterprise contexts, workforces are delegating more and more tasks to them. While the promise of increased productivity is enticing, the shift from deterministic automated tools to agentic autonomous systems introduces security risks that most enterprises haven’t prepared for.

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

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.

Agentic Identity Is Not NHI With a Brain

The non-human identity (NHI) problem was always the same problem: too many service accounts, too few owners, too many secrets in too many places. They sat where we left them, quietly piling up privilege, outliving the engineer who created them. Eventually someone, an auditor, sometimes an attacker, went looking and found them. Agents are a different problem.

BlackToad: Network Manipulation in an AutoIt Payload

Recently, JUMPSEC’s DART (Detection and Response Team) detected a phishing email targeting a client environment. The email, written in Thai and containing a MediaFire download link, was identified as suspicious by an incident responder and we kicked off an investigation. Since then, we have established infrastructure to track the threat actor, analysed the novel payload in detail, and identified several IoCs below.

Uncovering LLM Vulnerabilities: Insights from the AI Security Testing Front Line

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the business landscape at an accelerated pace. The announcement of Mythos from Anthropic, with its limited public release, is just one example of how LLMs are changing the speed at which unknown flaws in IT systems can be exposed.

VMware Backup After Broadcom: Key Changes and Best Practices

At the end of 2023, Broadcom completed its acquisition of VMware, reshaping one of the most influential names in virtualization. This move introduced significant changes in licensing, product structure, administration and data protection. As Broadcom reorganizes VMware and its ecosystem, the effects are being felt across customers, partners and backup solution vendors.
