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.
How MSSPs can automate their way to full-spectrum security
The end of October is here, which means it is time to ask: What have you, as a managed service provider (MSP), learned from Cybersecurity Awareness Month? The most critical lesson remains that human behaviour is the single greatest risk and the single greatest opportunity for defence. While no amount of training can eliminate every mistake (which is why we need automation), a security-aware technician acts as the final, critical filter that can spot novel social engineering attacks and enable fast incident response, but only if the back end is hyper-automated, so technicians know about these potential attacks immediately.
WatchGuard: The VPN Trap: Why Remote Access Is Failing You
VPNs were once the cornerstone of secure remote access. Today, they've become one of the easiest ways for attackers to slip inside your network. Outdated VPN tunnels facilitate credential theft, lateral movement, and data exfiltration, leaving IT teams confused and businesses vulnerable. In this session, WatchGuard experts will uncover the hidden risks of SSL VPNs and explain how a zero trust approach can eliminate those weaknesses.

Teleport Named an IDC Innovator in Security for Agentic AI, 2025
Teleport, a leading provider of identity security solutions for engineering and infrastructure teams, has been named an IDC Innovator in the IDC Innovators: Security for Agentic AI, 2025 report.
The New Attack Surface: How to Break (and Defend) Large Language Models
Large Language Models now automate customer support, write code, classify emails, generate content, and - disturbingly - execute tasks through plugins and agents. Once an AI can act on your behalf, it becomes part of your operational infrastructure, not a toy. OWASP’s Top-10 for LLM Applications formalized the threat landscape, and quietly confirmed what security researchers have been yelling for two years.
Experience Over Hype: How Reach Built AI for Real-World Security
Innovation comes from experience — and from taking a pragmatic, problem-driven approach. As Garrett Hamilton told Ed Amoroso, Reach’s foundation is built on the work of co-founder Colt Blackmore — whose experience building machine-learning models at Cylance and Proofpoint now drives how we apply AI to exposure management today. That experience shapes how Reach approaches AI: practical, proven, and focused on results — not trends.
