Solving the Continuous Authorization Conundrum (CrowdStrike)

Organizations have realized they must move from a “walled garden” security model, in which all computers inside a firewall or accessing via VPN are assumed to be trusted, to a Zero Trust model in which every access is independently evaluated.

The Cheap Ones Win

Just as the proliferation of cheap drones is changing warfare, the economics of AI is changing cybersecurity: the advantage increasingly belongs to whoever can operate at scale. As AI lowers the cost and accelerates the pace of cyberattacks, the real battleground becomes identity, including who and what can log in and what they can access.

In his latest article, “The Cheap Ones Win,” Gotham CTO Ken Phelan explains why defenders must automate their response and secure identities that AI-driven attacks will inevitably target.

Dangerous Deviation Detection: Catching the Agent Action Nobody Asked For (Check Point)

Agents will keep deviating from the tasks they are given. Most deviations are harmless, and some are how agents find solutions nobody thought of. The job is to catch the few dangerous ones before they run and leave the rest alone, with one question asked at the last moment it can still make a difference.
