Generative AI is transforming the way enterprises approach daily operations – powering virtual assistants, summarizing medical records, and aiding clinicians with insights. These benefits come at a cost: risk to a wide range of sensitive data in AI-driven workflows. Traditional access controls and content filters that work for static systems fail as these are not designed for the free-flowing, context-rich data exchanges in LLM applications.

For Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Web Application and API Protection(WAAP) services have become table stakes. Enterprises expect MSSPs to deliver continuous security-policy management, rapid patching, zero false positives, real-time responses to zero-days, and audit-ready compliance reporting. The challenge? Delivering all of this as a part of MSSP managed WAF service can quickly become a margin drain.

While social media can be a great place to connect with people, friends, and families, it still has its dangers. Social media websites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc, are an attractive platform for scammers to target people to steal their personal and financial information. As a result, this article will inform you of the most common social media scams, statistics, and offer advice and tools to avoid them and stay safe online.

AI-powered social engineering attacks are significantly more successful than traditional attacks, according to a new report from cyber risk management firm Resilience. The researchers state, “Social engineering attacks fueled 88% of material losses, with AI-powered phishing achieving a 54% success rate compared to just 12% for traditional attempts.” AI allows attackers to easily craft sophisticated phishing emails, as well as voice and video deepfakes.

AI agents powered by Amazon Bedrock are playing an increasingly central role in cloud operations. These agents can interact directly with core AWS services like S3, Lambda, RDS, and EC2 to perform tasks such as data retrieval, automation orchestration, and resource provisioning. Many teams rely on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to structure agent behavior and convert natural language into actionable commands.

Identity-based attacks are on the rise. Attacks in which malicious actors assume the identity of an entity to easily gain access to resources and sensitive data have been increasing in number and frequency over the last few years.

Ransomware is evolving ‒ not fading. Despite a decline in attack detections based on WatchGuard Firebox telemetry, data from extortion sites and media reporting tells a different story: ransomware activity is actually on the rise, both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. The number of active ransomware groups is also increasing, as is the average ransom demand. In fact, the typical payout jumped from $400,000 in 2023 to $2 million in 2024 ‒ a staggering 500% spike.
