December Threat Intelligence Spotlight Report

Each month, our Cyber Threat Intelligence team compiles data from our engagements to determine key industry trends.

AI adoption is no longer a future state; it’s the current reality. According to the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey, 84% of respondents are using or planning to use AI tools in their development process. But speed without guardrails creates debt, and in the case of AI, it creates security debt at an alarming rate. Recent data shows that nearly half of the time, AI assistants are likely introducing risky, known vulnerabilities directly into your codebase.

Artificial intelligence is now central to every conversation about the future of security operations. Terms like autonomous, agentic, and preemptive are everywhere. Yet much of the discussion skips the harder question CISOs, SOC leaders, and boards actually care about: how AI can be applied responsibly, predictably, and at scale in real-world security operations. If we get this wrong, we do not just risk wasted investment. We risk eroding trust in the SOC itself.

The difference between a professional-looking backdrop and something that feels homemade usually comes down to structure, balance, and detail. When a balloon backdrop is built correctly, it looks full, clean, and intentional from every angle, not just from one perfect photo spot.
