The most dangerous attackers don’t break in—they walk through your front door with stolen credentials. Traditional security infrastructure faces a fundamental challenge: advanced persistent threats remain undetected for an average of 287 days, operating within legitimate access boundaries while signature-based defenses remain blind to their activities. When attackers steal credentials or insiders go rogue, they appear as authorized users to existing security infrastructure.

Security operations shouldn’t be defined by burnout, backlog, and brittle tools. Torq HyperSOC replaces the slow, manual SOC model with an autonomous system powered by agentic AI, Hyperautomation, and seamless stack integration. In just 90 days with Torq, security teams move from reactive to proactive — automating Tier-1 triage, accelerating response, and freeing analysts to focus on what matters most.

On September 15, a new supply chain attack was identified that targeted the @ctrl/tinycolor and 150 other NPM packages. The attack scenario was similar to the one used in the s1ngularity and GhostActions campaigns. The threat actors combined a local environment secrets extraction with a malicious GitHub actions workflow injection in accessible projects. The compromised packages' structure has been detailed in blog posts by socket.dev and StepSecurity.

Security leaders are well acquainted with Shadow IT; the unsanctioned apps, services, and even devices employees adopt to bypass bureaucracy and accelerate productivity. Think rogue cloud storage, messaging platforms, or unapproved SaaS tools. These all often slip past governance until they trigger a breach, compliance issue, or operational failure. Now, a more complex threat is emerging - Shadow AI.
