It's 9 a.m. Monday, the start of your shift. You begin the day like any other Monday: You open the queue, and the wall of alerts is already waiting. New alerts land between 9:05 and 9:10 a.m., while you close yesterday’s. You're already drowning, and you haven’t even had a chance to refill your coffee. You know that you won’t be able to get to things that really need prioritization. Threat hunting stays deferred, and detection engineering waits. Incident response practice never quite starts.…
GreyNoise Tactics gives anyone running a Deception Sensor visibility into what adversaries do after initial compromise, automatically mapping qualifying sessions to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
We know you’re tired of hearing how every vendor is going to finally help you solve alert fatigue. Well, one way we’re improving alert fatigue is from a slightly different angle, better prevention at the endpoint. Because stopping more at the endpoint means fewer alerts ever raised. We have three endpoint enhancements, all contributing to better endpoint prevention: To be even more proactive about Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks, we’re continuously monitoring public vulnerable…
Hugging Face reconstructed more than 17,000 attacker events from a July 2026 intrusion driven by an autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agent. The path was familiar: untrusted dataset content abused a processing worker (file disclosure, then code execution), credential harvest, then multi-cluster lateral movement. Production Elastic Defend behavior rules and Elastic Security detection (SIEM) rules already watch those types of behaviors. This post maps each stage to detections you can enable…

Every organization needs security that protects end to end with the speed and scale of AI. Microsoft’s vision is simple: security should be ambient and autonomous, just like the AI it protects. As organizations scale AI and expand across environments, security teams need protection that covers every surface. This month’s updates help security and IT teams secure their AI environments, use AI to defend at speed and scale, and strengthen the foundations that AI-powered operations depend on.…
IDC has named Rapid7 a Leader in the 2026 Worldwide Managed Detection and Response Service for Midmarket 2026 Vendor Assessment (Doc #US52992326, July 2026). We believe this recognition and research highlights where MDR is heading.Many security programs are still built around a reactive sequence of detect, triage, and respond, but the timelines surrounding modern attacks have changed too quickly for that model to hold up on its own. Time-to-exploit has dropped from two years to 22 hours, while…

TrendAI joins Nvidia as an inaugural partner in the Open Secure AI Alliance, advancing open models, harnesses, and research to strengthen cyber defense.
Check out GreyNoise's new Head of Adversary Engagement, Mark Mager, on why traditional detection engineering can't keep pace with CVE growth — and the agentic pipeline replacing it.
As organizations move beyond AI experimentation, success will depend on how effectively they combine intelligence and trust. The same systems that amplify knowledge, accelerate decisions, and unlock new outcomes must also protect data, govern AI, and build resilience. In this next phase of transformation, security is not separate from innovation—it is an enabler that helps make responsible innovation possible at a faster pace. That starts with asking better questions—the kind that help…
Huntress Webhooks push incidents and escalations straight to Slack, your PSA, or SIEM in real time with no polling. See how you can set them up in minutes.
The scenario is all too familiar for any cybersecurity professional: It’s late in the day, and a critical zero-day vulnerability is disclosed. When this happens, CISOs from every industry immediately turn to their Security Operations Centers (SOC) with the single most important, and often most difficult, question: "Are we exposed?”Answering questions like these when zero-days drop tends to trigger a frantic, high-stress fire drill. Analysts scramble to cross-reference outdated Configuration…
Key Takeaways AI adoption has outpaced enterprise controls, with AI and LLM workloads appearing faster than security teams can inventory or approve them. AI governance has become an evidence problem. Policies, questionnaires, and risk registers cannot prove that AI systems are safe. Traditional security tools see only fragments of AI risk. They miss model behavior, cannot produce technical evidence, and do not discover or assess the full AI estate. TotalAI connects four components of AI…
Elastic automatically translates your Microsoft Sentinel detection rules into Elastic Security. Export your Scheduled and Near Real Time (NRT) analytics rules from Sentinel, upload them, and Elastic picks up the mapping and translation from there using an LLM you choose. Watchlists and severity mappings carry over. This is the first automatic migration path off a modern SIEM, available now in Tech Preview in 9.5, and it works across multiple cloud providers and regions so you can deploy closer…

Key Takeaways Two real-world cloud attacks reached meaningful impact in less than ten minutes despite pursuing entirely different objectives. Both attackers treated the environment as a connected system, using existing permissions and relationships to expand their reach. Reconnaissance increasingly focuses on understanding access and capability rather than discovering vulnerable assets. AI is compressing the gap between discovery, decision-making, and execution for cloud attackers. The interval…

This is Part 3 of the Inside Elastic InfoSec's Agentic SOC series. Part 1: How we triage every alert before an analyst opens it · Part 2: Choosing the right agent architecture for a 5× cost reduction We run 14 AI agents in the Elastic InfoSec security operations pipeline. They were producing correct verdicts and taking up to 19 large language model (LLM) calls to do work that needed 8, at thousands of input tokens per call. At hundreds of runs per day, that compounds fast. We built a five-step…

We ran a noisy wget detection rule on Elastic's own cloud fleet for seven days. Three destinations survived deterministic filtering, Elasticsearch Query Language (ES|QL) COMPLETION triaged all three, and none of them created an alert that an analyst had to open. Each rule parses the destination from curl and wget executions, filters known-good hosts, redacts secrets, and then hands whatever’s left to a large language model (LLM) for a triage verdict. File transfer detections stay on in cloud…

Elastic's InfoSec Product Security Team built a generative AI agent using Elastic Agent Builder that drafts complete CVE security advisories (CWE classification, CAPEC methodology, CVSS scoring, and mitigation guidance) directly from raw vulnerability reports. The agent uses RAG against the MITRE CWE and CAPEC catalogues indexed in Elasticsearch, which grounds its output in authoritative data and prevents hallucinated classification IDs. ESA-2026-01 is already in production as an example of…
