The New Face of AI Risk

Jul 22, 2026 By Javvad Malik In KnowBe4
Cybercrime used to have a ‘"tell." It was the digital equivalent of a villain stroking their cat - clunky grammar, misspelt links and suspicious attachments that screamed ‘phishing’.

Jul 21, 2026 By Kovrr In Kovrr
Shadow AI is the fastest-growing unmanaged risk surface in most organizations. Employees are adopting AI tools through browser extensions, free-tier SaaS accounts, personal logins, and embedded platform features without involving IT, security, or procurement.

In response to Mythos, Daybreak, and the other frontier models that are sure to follow, organizations are racing to build permanent vulnerability operations functions that combine vulnerability management with more robust automation. The need for this discipline was always there. But now that AI can discover and help weaponize vulnerabilities at machine speed, the old quarterly-scan-and-patch approach is becoming less viable.
