The newly released State of the SOC 2025 Report from Adlumin (via N-able) is an excellent snapshot of how AI is reshaping cybersecurity operations. A few highlights stood out to me: 🔹 “AI can automate 70% of all incident investigation and threat remediation.” 🔹 Adlumin’s SOC amplified its threat-hunting capabilities by 153× using AI tools. 🔹 Yet, “human expertise remains central to SOC success.” In other words, AI-augmentation is real — but ecosystem-level orchestration is still missing. At Motion!, we see this gap every day: the tools are becoming more intelligent, but the systems in which they operate are still siloed. The real frontier is ecosystem intelligence — the ability to coordinate not just within one SOC or one company, but across research, vendors, and public agencies in real time. When it comes to threat mitigation and response, there’s zero competitive advantage in isolation. Cooperation — powered by interoperable, AI-driven infrastructures — is what will ultimately define cyber resilience. Chris Y.

The current pace of digital innovation is rendering traditional approaches to security obsolete. In the past, organizations responded to each new challenge by introducing a new point solution, which inevitably required a new project. Point solutions led to new projects, again and again. The patchwork of tools that emerged as a result created operational chaos and security gaps, and most importantly, it made it difficult for companies to adopt new technologies. Whether it’s AI-powered innovation or new risks emerging from quantum computing, Palo Alto Networks vision is to help our customers embrace innovation and stay ahead of emerging threats. We’re achieving this by consolidating fragmented defenses into a single, intelligent platform: the Strata Network Security Platform. This unified, AI-powered approach is the only way to simplify operations, continuously adapt defenses and deliver the agility to respond to “what’s next.” Leverage Unified Management for End-to-End Efficacy. If you are already a customer, it’s simple to deploy these new innovations. All of the breakthroughs (Prisma Browser, Prisma AIRS and an easy path to quantum-readiness) are seamlessly integrated into the Strata Network Security Platform. Manage your entire defense simply and effectively. This platform is anchored by Strata Cloud Manager, the industry's first, AI-powered Unified Management and Operations Solution. This single tool provides comprehensive visibility and control across your entire SASE and Next-Generation Firewall estate. This simplification is the key to achieving the agility and efficacy required to secure what’s next.

This is very troubling news, and only an early instance of many more to follow. The speed and scale of AI-enabled attacks will grow exponentially as the core technologies improve and proliferate beyond closely monitored infrastructures. If you're banking on a compliance focus and human-centric detection and response processes to save the day, you're doomed. We need to accelerate adoption of proactive antifragility, automated moving target defense, and other machine-speed approaches, before it's too late! https://lnkd.in/eHabMZJ9

Legacy NDR is leaving your agency exposed. Traditional tools rely on full packet capture, constant tuning, and expensive hardware — yet still miss encrypted threats and east-west traffic. Cynamics Federal changes the game. Its AI-driven approach analyzes <1% of network traffic to deliver complete visibility and real-time detection – no taps, sensors, or decryption required. ✅ FedRAMP-authorized ✅ Detect threats in encrypted flows ✅ Lightweight, scalable, and low-touch ✅ Compliant with CISA AA25-239A, M-21-31, and Zero Trust architecture Legacy solutions can’t keep up. That’s why Merlin Cyber and Cynamics Federal are helping agencies close visibility gaps with smarter, AI-driven NDR built for government networks.

Each new attack surface reinforces the same reality: the voice channel continues to be under-protected in enterprise security strategies. Prompt injection is just one of several ways adversaries are exploiting voice systems, manipulating background audio, synthetic speech, and conversational context to gain access or extract data. ValidSoft delivers the missing layer of protection, securing voice interactions at the source through authentication, deepfake detection, and real-time integrity monitoring. When the voice channel isn’t protected, attackers don’t need new tools, they only need opportunity.

🚨 Detection vs. Sanitisation - The Next Evolution in File Upload Security... Detection has long been the gold standard within Cyber Security > Identify the threat > Block it > Protect the business. But what happens when blocking isn’t an option? What if the file in question is business critical, a mortgage application, a payment file, an insurance claim (Dash-Cam - Ring- Doorbell - Photographs), a trading file, a broker submission, or a contract that must be processed for the business to function? This is where the conversation shifts from Detection to Sanitisation. At OPSWAT, we see this challenge every day especially in the banking and financial sectors where security can’t come at the cost of business continuity, or user experience. Our approach combines the best of both worlds: ✅ Detection: Industry leading multi-layered coverage through 33 AV engines (including Sophos, CrowdStrike, Bitdefender, and more). ✅ Sanitisation: Deep CDR (Content Disarm and Reconstruction) that allows organisations to safely process even those files flagged as malicious. The result? Critical files move forward. Threats stay behind. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, the future of file security isn’t just about stopping attacks, it’s about enabling secure business continuity. #CyberSecurity #OPSWAT #DeepCDR #ThreatPrevention #BankingSecurity #FileUploadSecurity James Neilson Tim Davies Ross Maurer Ross McGuire Emma Purdue Joe Stuchbery Chris Sergeant Rick Panesar Simona Bodnarescu David Trotea

⚠️ Elastic EDR's Call Stack Signature Detection Evaded by Exploiting Call Gadgets | Read more: https://lnkd.in/gTdC7Amd Security researchers have successfully evaded Elastic EDR's call stack signature detection by exploiting a technique involving "call gadgets" to bypass the security tool's behavioral analysis. Elastic EDR relies heavily on call stack analysis to identify malicious behavior, particularly detecting when sensitive operations originate from unbacked memory code loaded at runtime rather than from executable files on the filesystem. This pattern typically indicates shellcode execution. When operations like loading network modules occur from suspicious memory locations, Elastic's detection rules trigger alerts based on specific call stack signatures. #cybersecuritynews

🔍 Data Privacy: The Silent Backbone of Modern Innovation We're navigating an ocean of data, and privacy is the compass guiding us. Without it, we drift into territories of mistrust and misinformation. ✅ Transparent Data Collection – Know what you share and why ✅ Encrypted Communications – Secure your thoughts, not silence them ✅ User-Centric Design – Built for people, not profits ✅ Adaptive Security – Protect against evolving threats Building tech that respects privacy isn't optional; it's necessary. Let's steer our course with integrity. defenseops.pro/ #ResilientMindAI #ShareNow #ConnectWithMe

Hackers don't knock, they hack. If something is weak, be sure it’s already compromised, but you don’t sense it, because they wait for the right time. When they strike, you’ll hear them. They will make sure that your systems announce the breach. Global industry is praising digitization and high-end automations. Societies are vastly getting dependent on complex technologies that are being presented. From shops to banks, taxi to planes, schools to hospitals, all have embraced digitization and are transforming their businesses. The most important factor that has delighted this generation is smooth operations means the technology that don't get interrupted. Most organizations are waiting, but some of them have implemented controls and solutions believing the fact, they see, hear and know the noise of intrusion into their networks. They try to block every possible intruder to stay safe. But the truth is, they only block what they see, they never know who is already staying into their systems or networks from the long time waiting for the right time. VaultStrike can help you to mitigate or minimize such risks in your public applications with it amazing application security monitoring, breach detection, and response capabilities.
