Frontier AI for Defenders: CrowdStrike and OpenAI TAC

CrowdStrike has been selected for OpenAI's Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program. Today, OpenAI released GPT-5.4-Cyber, a frontier model designed for defensive cybersecurity, and expanded the TAC program to give verified, selected defenders governed access through identity verification and tiered controls. CrowdStrike continues to lead the market in secure AI adoption, trusted by AI leaders and organizations of all sizes to accelerate the world's AI revolution.

How Forward Helps You Respond to CVE-2025-53521 and the CISA KEV Listing for F5 BIG-IP APM

CVE-2025-53521 was first disclosed by F5 in October 2025 as part of their quarterly security advisory cycle. At that point, it was classified as a denial-of-service vulnerability with a CVSS v4 score of 8.7. Many security teams logged it and moved on, reasonably treating it as a lower-priority item in an already full patch queue.

92% of security leaders say their SIEM is effective. 51% say it's exceptional. What's living in that gap?

If you hear that a product is 92% effective, you’d assume it’s operating as intended. It seems like a success story. But dig a little deeper, and the picture changes; only 51% say that their security information and event management (SIEM) is very effective. What does it mean when a majority of security relies on a tool that works, but doesn’t work well enough? Not broken, not exceptional. It’s somewhere in between.

Why Stablecoins Need Infrastructure to Scale

Stablecoins are the obvious choice for cross-border payments. But scaling them means solving for interoperability across chains, stablecoins, and ecosystems, and integrating with the core banking and treasury systems institutions already use. In this clip from Fintech Fireside Asia, Dan Sleep, Head of Business Solutions APAC at Fireblocks, breaks down why infrastructure is the connective layer and how Fireblocks Network for Payments is bridging issuers, movers, and custodians across the value chain.

Compliance with One Identity: Two birds, one stone

One Identity Global Strategists Alan Radford and Rob Kraczek dive into the common problem of an undetected breach and stress the importance of using smart identity security tools to create a strategy that not only prevents breaches, but that also solves compliance problems before an audit even starts.

How Adaptive Block Caching Makes Complex Creative Projects Easier

Whether you’re a video editor, graphic designer, or marketer responsible for building key assets, you know how frustrating working on large-scale creative projects can get. Teams struggle to work with large video and design files, dealing with slow, incomplete renders, freezes, crashes, and misaligned content. When collaborating, those delays and inefficient version keeping lead to lost or overlapping work.

This May Be Hurting Your Incident Response Efforts...

Some of the biggest delays in incident response aren’t caused by the attacker… they’re caused by the first steps taken after discovery. A few examples of well-intentioned actions that can unintentionally slow investigations and extend recovery timelines: Resilience isn’t built during an incident. It’s built before one ever happens.

Claude Mythos, Project Glasswing, and the Machine-Speed Security Race

Anthropic’s latest Claude news shows how AI is compressing the time from vulnerability discovery to credentialed lateral movement, and why security teams need behavior-based detection across humans and AI agents. Anthropic’s Project Glasswing, announced on April 7, 2026, gives selected partners early access to Claude Mythos Preview for defensive cybersecurity work. Anthropic says the model has already identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across critical infrastructure.

Early Results From KnowBe4's AI Agents Show Easier Administration and Lower Cyber Risk

You often hear companies touting that they are AI enabled. But most do not give you the results of how that new AI stacks up with their previous non-AI offerings. We have some early data and want to share it. KnowBe4 was the first Human Risk Management (HRM) vendor to use AI. While our competitors have been touting the use of AI only since 2023 at the earliest, we have been using machine learning (ML), the backbone workhorse of AI, since early 2016 – for a decade!
