Defending Against CORDIAL SPIDER and SNARKY SPIDER with Falcon Shield

Since October 2025, CrowdStrike Counter Adversary Operations has observed a shift in intrusion tradecraft: Threat actors are executing high-speed, SaaS-centric attacks that bypass traditional endpoint visibility. CORDIAL SPIDER and SNARKY SPIDER exemplify this evolution as distinct adversaries conducting rapid data theft and extortion campaigns with striking operational similarities.

Agentic AI Security: Tune Detections with Threat Intel

Most AI detection engineering puts a human in the loop at every step. David Burkett envisions an efficient and effective pipeline architecture that does not. David is a security researcher at Corelight Labs and a longtime LimaCharlie community member. He appeared on a recent episode of Defender Fridays to walk through his vision of a fully agentic detection engineering pipeline. His system uses LimaCharlie as its operational backbone.

The 7 sins killing your SOC efficacy (and why NDR is the cure)

Network Detection and Response (NDR) is a glorious tool for spotting the stuff that slips past the velvet ropes. The weird lateral movement. The "why is Finance talking to a printer in Moldova" moment. The internal reconnaissance that looks harmless until it's suddenly not. What can't NDR do? Trick question. It can't walk the dog, run a marathon, or explain to leadership why "just block Russia" isn't a complete strategy. NDR is your truth serum.

More Cores, Less Cache - And It Still Got Faster | Cloudflare Gen 13

In this episode of This Week in NET, JQ Lau and Victor Hwang from our Network & Infrastructure Strategy team walk us through Cloudflare's 13th generation of servers — the machines that power a significant part of the internet across 330+ cities worldwide. The Gen 13 program doubled compute density by jumping from 96 to 192 cores, but that came with an 83% drop in L3 cache. The team explains how a bold hardware bet, combined with Cloudflare's FL2 Rust-based software rewrite, turned that trade-off into a win across throughput, latency, and power efficiency.

Turning Attackers into Signals: How Deception is Redefining Threat Detection | Fidelis Security

Traditional detection methods are struggling to keep up with modern threats. What if you could turn attackers into your strongest signal? In this session, our Sales Engineer Jim breaks down how deception technology is transforming cybersecurity by: Delivering high-fidelity alerts with minimal noise Adapting dynamically to attacker behavior Extending protection to IoT and non-standard devices Scaling seamlessly across enterprise environments.

How to secure cloud workloads without building a full-scale SOC

You don’t need a 20-person SOC to protect your cloud-native environment. What you need is the right strategy: map your risk, embed security early, automate detection, and let smart tooling do the heavy lifting. Here’s how security and DevOps leaders with limited resources can achieve enterprise-level protection without enterprise-level headcount.
