Security researchers are demonstrating that AI assistants with web-browsing capabilities can be manipulated into acting as covert C2 relays for malware, routing commands through legitimate platforms and making malicious traffic indistinguishable from normal activity.
Lateral movement through Active Directory remains one of the most consistent patterns in enterprise intrusions. This guide covers key detection signals, logging requirements, and query strategies that help analysts catch attacker progression before privilege escalation occurs.
Misconfigured storage buckets, overly permissive IAM roles, and exposed management APIs are creating an attack surface most security teams are not actively monitoring. Here is what to look for and where controls commonly break down in AWS and Azure environments.
Most blue teams know ATT&CK as a threat catalogue, but fewer use it systematically to identify gaps in detection coverage. This article walks through a practical approach to using the framework as a defensive mapping tool rather than a reference library.
CVSS scores alone do not tell you which vulnerabilities to remediate first. Exploitability, asset exposure, environmental context, and observed threat actor behavior all factor into real-world risk. This article outlines a more operationally grounded prioritization methodology.
IOCs are one of the most commonly referenced concepts in threat detection and one of the most misunderstood. This piece covers what they actually are, how blue teams operationalize them, and why their limitations matter as much as their utility.
