The governance of AI agents faces a fundamental asymmetry: while MCP servers provide structured logs, the "Skills" that drive agent reasoning remain forensic black holes. As high-risk capabilities—such as arbitrary code execution and state changes—become prevalent in nearly 60% of enterprise deployments, traditional models like the "Rule of Two" are failing to prevent autonomous destruction. To counter this, Noma Security proposes the No Excessive CAP framework, focusing on the three controllable levers of defense: Capabilities, Autonomy, and Permissions.

The prolific extortion group ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the breach of Edtech vendor Instructure's systems, stealing 3.65 TB of sensitive information, including names, email addresses, and messages of students, teachers, and others. ShinyHunters also reportedly behind an early attack of Instructure in September 2025.

Introduction: Two terms, one growing confusion In cybersecurity conversations today, two terms are showing up more frequently: Threat Intelligence Identity Risk Intelligence At a glance, they sound similar. Both deal with data, risk, and security insights. But they solve fundamentally different problems. And understanding that difference is becoming critical because, as attackers shift toward identity-based […]

Securing AI procurement and third-party models: a practical guide for UK SMEs Third-party AI tools can be useful, but they also change the way your business handles data, makes decisions, and depends on suppliers. For many UK SMEs, the risk is not the model itself. It is the way the tool is bought, connected, configured, […]

Small business owners should be sure to fix these three non-technical risks that require little cybersecurity expertise.

The cyber threat outlooks from CIOs and CISOs at the NASCIO Midyear Conference in Philadelphia ranged from the good to the bad to the ugly — with AI front and center.

In the past week, the global cyber threat landscape has once again demonstrated how rapidly attackers are evolving shifting from isolated intrusions to coordinated, multi-stage campaigns targeting identities, supply chains, and service providers. From large-scale identity data exposure to sophisticated token abuse and ransomware-driven disruptions, these incidents highlight a critical reality: attackers are increasingly exploiting

The paradox of edge security describes how technologies designed to strengthen network defenses can also create new vulnerabilities. Edge devices improve performance and support localized threat detection by processing data closer to its source, yet modern enterprise environments often operate thousands of distributed endpoints. This rapid expansion of edge infrastructure increases the number of systems..

In today’s cyber threat landscape, attacks are no longer always loud or immediate. Many of the most damaging incidents begin quietly hidden within normal network activity, disguised as legitimate traffic, and evolving over time into full-scale compromises. Modern security requires more than just detection; it requires context, behavioral intelligence, and early intervention. This article highlights

AI models weight trust signals differently in cybersecurity. A comprehensive framework for building entity authority as a security vendor, covering third-party corroboration, author entities, community presence, research credibility, & authority flywheel that compounds citation share.

For years, Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) have been treated as foundational and a solved security challenge. Organizations deployed vaults, enforced policies, and checked the compliance box for their privileged users.  Fast forward to today, and that model no longer holds up.    What’s emerging now is not an incremental shift, but a structural one. Identity is no longer centered on […]

In Part 1 of this piece, I described what agentic AI attacks actually look like in practice; the digital factory model, where agents commit fraud, and the three properties that make agentic AI attackers categorically different from traditional bot tooling: autonomous iteration, session-to-session learning, and identity spoofing at the interaction layer. Now I want to … Continued

An FTC report says that Americans last year lost $2.1 billion in social media scams, such as shopping and investment schemes. Social media site have become the place where most of these scams start, and more than half of that money was stolen in scams began on Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram.

Key Takeaways Agent user identities now outnumber human identities at an astounding rate. Each new autonomous agent introduces a new identity, a new credential path, and a new surface area for attackers to exploit. Agent sprawl compounds classic identity security failures: over-provisioned OAuth scopes, reused service accounts, and long-lived tokens. Traditional IAM tooling was never...

AI is transforming both software development and software risk.

We always think we are more vulnerable than our fellow contemporaries! In general sense, this shows lack of confidence, but when you are dealing with security, this is one of the best traits you can have! Sounds strange, right! Let’s be honest, most security teams aren’t short on vulnerability data. They’re drowning in it. Scan […]

Malicious versions 2.6.2 and 2.6.3 of the PyTorch Lightning package were uploaded to PyPI, after the publisher's account was compromised. These packages, published on April 30, 2026, contained malicious code designed to steal developer credentials. Importing the package activates a background process that executes a large, obfuscated JavaScript payload. This payload targets multi-cloud services like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, along with GitHub APIs. The malware also downloads a secondary payload from attacker-controlled infrastructure. The attack is particularly dangerous because it used a compromised version of a trusted package. Attackers quickly released version 2.6.3 to evade detection after version 2.6.2 was flagged. Small changes, like metadata updates, were used to avoid triggering security measures. Users who installed these versions should treat their systems as compromised and remove the malicious packages. Best practices include pinning dependencies, monitoring for anomalies, and using automated supply chain security tools. Security teams need to move towards context-aware, behavior-driven analysis to stay ahead of these threats.
