How the Falcon Platform Delivers Fast, CISO-Ready Executive Reports
Most exposure reporting is still slow, error-prone, and disconnected from reality. Analysts spend hours collecting and formatting data using different tools that produce conflicting priorities. Reports are bloated with raw CVE lists that lack context and rarely connect to business impact. They are often delayed, arriving after the adversaries have moved. While teams struggle with outdated reports, adversaries are seeking new ways to gain initial access.
Phishing Emails Use Invisible Hyphens to Avoid Detection
A phishing campaign is using invisible characters to evade security filters, according to Jan Kopriva at the SANS Internet Storm Center. The emails use soft hyphens to break up the subject line “Your Password is About to Expire” so the messages aren’t flagged as malicious. The email client doesn’t render the hyphens, however, so the user sees a normal sentence.
Warning: Malicious Apps Are Impersonating AI Tools
Researchers at Appknox warn that malicious apps are impersonating popular AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E to trick users into installing malware on their mobile devices. Some of these apps simply collect user data to be sold to advertising services, while others act as full-fledged malware.
A multi-cloud BCP approach for CPS 230 compliance using CloudCasa
When Amazon Web Services’ US-East-1 region went down recently, a long list of global apps and services went with it. For most companies, that meant a few hours of frustration. For APRA-regulated financial institutions in Australia, an outage like that is something much more serious — a compliance and operational-resilience test under CPS 230, which is now in force as of July 2025.
Difference Between TPM and HSM Security
A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a microcontroller designed to increase the levels of protection for computers, smartphones, and other devices through built-in security support that offers the necessary cryptographic operations. TPMs are unlike other software-based security; they provide a hardware-bound security, thus, it becomes nearly impossible for the attacker to tamper with the protected keys and information stored within the TPM.
The Role of AI Security Agents in Modern Exposure Management
AI security agents are reshaping how organizations manage exposure. This blog explores where they deliver the most impact — from smarter prioritization to faster ownership mapping and assisted remediation — and how this shift moves security teams from automation to autonomy.
Zero downtime database migrations: Lessons from moving a live production database
If you've ever been involved in a major database migration, you know just how complex and honestly, nerve-wracking they can be. At Tines, we recently faced the challenge of migrating a customer's dedicated tenant by moving all the customer’s critical workloads running on Tines between two different AWS Regions. All while maintaining 100% system availability.
The Cat's Out of the Bag: A 'Meow Attack' Data Corruption Campaign Simulation via MAD-CAT
In 2024, I published Feline Hackers Among Us? (A Deep Dive and Simulation of the Meow Attack), which explored the notorious Meow attack campaign that had plagued unsecured databases since 2020. That article focused on demonstrating the attack against a single MongoDB instance using a simple Python script. A proof-of-concept that illustrates how devastating misconfigurations can be.
From Zero AI Background to GenAI Lead at Peloton #ai #shorts
Amar (Founder & CEO of Protecto) chats with Sabari Loganathan (Head of AI Strategy, Peloton) about how a chance project led to building world-class generative AI systems. From vector search to agentic AI and RAG, discover how Sabari turned technical breakthroughs into real enterprise outcomes.
From Neural Networks to Threat Networks: How AI Development is Reinventing Security Intelligence
In the digital age, the landscape of cybersecurity is evolving faster than ever. Threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated, while traditional security measures struggle to keep pace. Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI)-an innovation that is transforming security intelligence by converting neural networks, traditionally used for pattern recognition, into threat networks capable of predicting, detecting, and mitigating cyberattacks in real time.
