Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

72% of security budgets still go to detection and response, not prevention. That is the thread running through the latest episode of The Security Strategist, where EM360Tech's Shubhangi Dua talks with Garrett Hamilton, CEO of Reach Security, and Jay Wilson, CIO and CISO at Insurity. With the majority of budgets still pointed at detection and response, the conversation makes the case for swinging the pendulum back toward prevention, and why the tech can finally back it up.

In this week's Weekly Brief: The Driftnet Edition, Brandon Torio explores why the most mature security organizations are breaking down the walls between Security Operations Center (SOC) and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) teams. Historically, these teams have approached risk from different angles. TPRM teams focus on vendor oversight, compliance, and risk workflows. SOC teams focus on attack surfaces, vulnerabilities, threat activity, and internet-facing exposures.

Academic fraud datasets often lack real-world grounding and miss insights that you can only glean from defending against ongoing adversarial attacks. Just ask Zhaofeng Si, a PhD student in computer science at the University at Buffalo who studies the detection of AI-generated synthetic images. Three weeks ago, he joined Persona for a 12-week internship. Now, he’s working alongside Persona’s research scientists to build a benchmark for selfie fraud.

Attackers are using AI to compress timelines from hours to minutes. Most SOCs, and most security platforms, weren’t built for that speed. Join Elastic Security product and research experts for a look at how modern security teams can detect, investigate, and respond faster using agentic AI. You’ll learn how to: You’ll leave better equipped to reduce investigation time, keep analysts focused on decision-making, and modernize security operations for machine-speed threats without removing humans from the loop.

Security teams need to see the platform they're securing. The new Fireblocks Security Center brings every security-relevant signal in your workspace into one purpose-built dashboard inside the Fireblocks Console. In this walkthrough, we show how the Security Center consolidates platform usage data into a single view built for analysis by your internal security people. What the Security Center covers.
