Protecting Against Prompt Injection at the Data Layer, Not the Prompt Layer

Feb 24, 2026 By Anwita In Protecto
Most teams try to fix prompt injection in the prompt itself. They add guardrails. They rewrite system messages. They stack more instructions on top of instructions. It feels productive. It is also fragile. Prompt injection is not just a prompt problem. It is a data problem. And if you treat it like a wording problem instead of a data control problem, you will keep playing defense. Let’s unpack why.

Introducing the AIDA Orchestration Agent: Always-On Human Risk Management Has Arrived

Feb 24, 2026 By KnowBe4 Team In KnowBe4
Social engineering remains the most reliable way into an organization—and attackers are getting better at it every day. According to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, up to 68% of breaches involve social engineering. AI has only widened the gap. More than 95% of cybersecurity professionals say AI-generated phishing is harder to detect, and Microsoft reports that AI-generated phishing emails are 4.5x more successful than manually created ones.

CrowdStrike 2026 Global Threat Report: The Evasive Adversary Wields AI

Feb 24, 2026 By Adam Meyers In CrowdStrike
As cyber defenses become stronger, adversaries continue to evolve their tactics to succeed. In 2025, the year of the evasive adversary, the threat landscape was defined by attacks that targeted trusted relationships, demonstrated fluency with AI tools, and incorporated tradecraft tailored to exploit security blind spots.

AI isn't replacing SOC teams. It's elevating them.

Feb 24, 2026 By Brandon Maxwell In Tines
AI has radically transformed the way SOC teams operate, but how is it affecting the people behind the work? For our recent Voice of Security 2026 report, we surveyed over 1,800 global security professionals to find out. We wanted to understand not only AI’s impact on security careers, but how teams really feel about these shifts. The results show that despite rising workloads and widespread burnout across security teams, sentiment toward AI is largely positive.

Endpoint AI Agents Don't Ask Permission. For Better or Worse, They Operate Like Employees

Feb 24, 2026 By Nishant Doshi In Cyberhaven
The next major security problem enterprises will face won’t originate in the cloud. It will emerge on endpoints, where agentic AI is already operating with autonomy, authority, and access to sensitive data.

The Surprising Automotive Roots of Modern Combine Harvester Technology

The Surprising Automotive Roots of Modern Combine Harvester Technology

Feb 24, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Where do combine harvesters get their brains from? It feels like combine technology has always been developed in-house by the various manufacturers we see today. But the truth is...many of the critical systems that run your combine harvester actually come from the automotive industry. GPS guidance systems, hydraulic components, electronic sensors...the list goes on. Plus the artificial intelligence that drives the insane automation you see in some of the newer models. Automotive technology paved the way for today's high-tech ag machinery.

Configuration Rot: Why Security Tools Quietly Stop Working

Feb 23, 2026 By Reach Security In Reach Security
Security tools don’t usually break. They just slowly stop doing what you think they’re doing. Or perhaps were never set up to do what you needed in the first place. Something got deployed. It worked. Then it drifted. No one noticed. And three years later, you’re questioning the renewal because you’re not even sure what it’s protecting anymore. That’s configuration rot. Thanks to Julian Lee at eChannelNews for the fun, thoughtful and much needed conversation on this topic and more.

The Myth of Self-Healing Code: Why Claude Code Security Isn't Replacing Application Security

Feb 23, 2026 By Veracode Threat Research In Veracode
Anthropic recently launched Claude Code Security, an AI-powered vulnerability scanner that can analyze your codebase, trace data flows across files, find bugs, and even propose patches. It represents a meaningful advance in how developers can get security insights earlier in the development process. But let’s be clear: this is not a replacement for a comprehensive application security program.

Cursor Composer 1.5 is Here: Is It Actually Better?

Feb 23, 2026 By Snyk In Snyk
Is Cursor’s new Composer 1.5 model a major leap forward, or just a marginal update? Today, we’re putting the latest version of Cursor’s agentic AI to the test using our "Production-Ready Note App" prompt. We compare the speed, UI design, and agentic capabilities of 1.5 against version 1.0. Most importantly, we run a full security audit using the Snyk extension to see if the AI-generated code is actually safe for production.
