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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Cybersecurity Mistakes Accounting Firms Keep Making (And How to Fix Them)

Tax season brings a predictable surge in phishing emails targeting accounting professionals. The messages look like client requests, IRS notifications, or software update alerts. They are crafted specifically for firms that handle sensitive financial data under deadline pressure, because attackers know that pressure creates mistakes.

LDAP: What it is, how it works, and why it matters for your network authentication

As organizations continue to adopt more applications and digital services, managing user authentication across multiple systems has become increasingly challenging. When user accounts are distributed across multiple platforms, provisioning and revoking access can become both time-consuming and difficult to manage. Ultimately, this increases the risk of unauthorized access and unmanaged credentials.

Compliance and Regulation Heat Up in 2026: A New Phase of Scrutiny for Financial Services Organisations

The regulatory landscape facing financial services in 2026 is more complex, more demanding, and faster moving than at any point in the past decade. Across the UK, regulators are attempting to strike a delicate balance of stimulating economic growth while maintaining strong consumer protection and financial stability. This balancing act is unfolding against a backdrop of sluggish economic performance, geopolitical uncertainty, and political pressure for "pro-growth" regulation. The result is a regulatory environment where the pace, scope, and intensity of change is accelerating sharply.

EASM Buyer's Guide 2026: How to Choose the Right Solution for Your Organization

Your external attack surface is bigger than you think, and probably bigger than it was last quarter. Cloud sprawl, third-party integrations, abandoned subdomains, and shadow IT all add up to an internet-facing footprint that’s hard to track manually. External attack surface management (EASM) tools give security teams continuous visibility over that footprint, from the same vantage point an attacker would use.

CMMC Enclave vs Enterprise-Wide Scope Cost Tradeoffs

One of the biggest decisions you need to make when you’re planning a CMMC implementation is which strategy you’re going to use. Your options are enterprise-wide security or an enclave strategy. Now, we’ve talked about these two options before. Rather than a general guide, though, today we want to look at the factor most likely to drive your decision: costs.
