If you're not using AI to attack your own systems, your adversaries will
Agents are also the new attack surface - cue defenders' existential angst
Corero Network Security has integrated AI-Augmented Cloud-Assist into SmartWall ONE, adding cloud-based AI analysis and threat intelligence to its automated DDoS protection platform. The enhancement enables faster identification of emerging attack patterns and rapid generation of protective policies that can be deployed manually or automatically within seconds. This development reflects the industry's need for AI-driven defenses to match the sophistication of AI-powered attack campaigns.

Quarantining leaked credentials is not good enough
The neon flying squid can fly in formation. The shoal of about 100 squid rose unexpectedly from a patch of the Pacific Ocean around 370 miles from Tokyo and glided near the boat for about 30 metres. The astonished researchers were the first to capture photographs of such a thing, which looked like the early stages of an alien invasion. They were probably neon flying squid (Ommastrephes bartramii), the subsequent study states, a species that is part of a 20-strong flying squid family that was known to leap from the water but, until then, was only rumoured to also be able to glide above it. The neon flying squid was able to gain such elevation by using the hyponome, a funnel-like muscular organ also present in other cephalopods, such as octopuses. The organ is able to force water out in a jet, propelling the body along both in and out of the sea. Photographs of the gliding squid show them with their arms (they have 10 limbs in all) splayed outwards. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered. Blog moderation policy.
OWASP has released a new top 10 security list designed for the current threat landscape, introducing a Universal Skill Format to standardize and enhance security practices around AI integrations. The framework aims to address the distinct risks associated with AI implementations across development and deployment environments.
