Signature-based detections provide fast, effective defense against known attacks. But the threat landscape is rapidly changing: Attackers are utilizing novel, sophisticated techniques that can bypass traditional, signature-based detection methods and also weaponizing legitimate tools and processes to avoid established detection tools, including endpoint detection. In this dynamic environment, organizations must in turn deploy new detection techniques to keep pace.

We have become so reliant on communicating on the Internet that sometimes we need to take a minute to consider how our data is being protected and whether what we send on the Internet is truly safe. While end-to-end encryption has become integral to protecting our data online, you may be thinking, can end-to-end encryption be hacked?

Customizing and updating prebuilt SIEM detection rules just got easier, improving precision, enabling broader coverage, and saving time. Customizing and updating prebuilt detection rules is now easier than ever with Elastic Security. We’ve streamlined detection engineering workflows and enabled greater use case coverage with out-of-the-box SIEM detection rules.

So, I was driving to gym the other day, listening to the radio. Pause. I know what you’re thinking. Okay, boomer. Yes, believe it or not, cars still have radios and some people—mostly boomers or those of us with boomer-like tendencies—still listen to them. And if you’ve listened to the radio recently, you’ll quickly pick up on a pattern. Not only do you hear the same songs, but you also hear the same commercials … over and over again.

The era of static playbooks and reactive security is over. A new generation of AI-driven security operations is emerging — one that combines cloud-native scale with intelligent, agentic automation to redefine how Security Operations Centers (SOCs) work. As CEO of Torq, I’ve had a front-row seat to this transformation. In speaking with countless CISOs and analysts, one theme rings loud and clear: We can’t fight modern threats with yesterday’s tools.

The answer depends on who you ask – and how they approach threat detection.

Generative AI (GenAI) is advancing rapidly, offering significant potential for business transformation. However, it also introduces new security risks. The Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, enables seamless integration between GenAI applications and external data sources and tools. MCP is commonly referred to as a USB-C port for GenAI applications.
