Latest coverage for Endpoint Security

Hitesh Sheth: Cloud, SaaS, Data Center Visibility Boosts Enterprise Risk AssessmentVectra AI CEO Hitesh Sheth says comprehensive network observability provides the most reliable foundation for predictive cybersecurity because it spans cloud, SaaS and on-premises infrastructure while offering telemetry that attackers are far less able to manipulate than endpoint logs.

Eset Links Group's Growth to Integrated Endpoint-Killing ToolsEset researchers say the rapidly growing Gentlemen ransomware operation differentiates itself by supplying affiliates with a standardized EDR-killer suite that disables security tools, quickly incorporates newly disclosed vulnerable drivers and helps scale attacks across multiple regions worldwide.

Startup Analyzes Endpoint Behavior to Stop Incidents Before Security Teams RespondEndpoint security startup Ent emerged from stealth with a $100 million seed round led by Decibel, betting that intent-aware AI running on endpoints can prevent increasingly automated AI-driven attacks before traditional detection and response tools have time to react.

Series A Funding Supports Visibility Across Cloud, Code and Endpoint EnvironmentsGeordie AI, the 2026 RSAC Innovation Sandbox winner, raised $30 million in Series A funding to expand a platform that provides visibility, governance and behavioral monitoring for AI agents operating across cloud, code and endpoint environments as enterprises accelerate autonomous AI adoption.

Frontier AI Models Accelerate Tasks Once Measured in Months to Weeks or DaysSentinelOne will cut about 240 employees, citing productivity gains from frontier AI models that have dramatically accelerated internal workflows, while redirecting savings into AI security, cloud, data and endpoint initiatives to drive long-term growth and profitability.

How Risk-Centric Architecture, Unified Pricing Give SOC Managers Total VisibilitySecurity teams can't afford to leave assets unprotected, but per-endpoint pricing forces exactly that trade-off. Learn how abandoning rigid license models and adopting risk-centric architecture gives SOC teams total visibility and kernel-level prevention across every environment.

Vendor Issues Hotfix for Critical Flaw in FortiClient Endpoint Management ServerFortinet's endpoint management security server software is under fire from attackers, who are actively targeting two critical flaws, including a fresh zero-day that facilitates unauthenticated remote code or command execution. The vendor has issued a hotfix and promised a full patch.

New Startup Says Cloud-Heavy Models Do Not Scale for Large EnterprisesBold Security exited stealth with $40 million to build an endpoint platform for the artificial intelligence era. CEO Nati Hazut said companies can no longer rely on older controls as employees and AI agents access data locally, creating new blind spots around apps, files and device activity.

Secure Horizons' Sarah Armstrong-Smith on Building Collective ResilienceIdentity has overtaken endpoints as the primary attack vector. Organizations must treat cybersecurity as an enterprise-scale risk, not an IT problem, to build the collective resilience that geopolitical threats now demand, says Sarah Armstrong-Smith, executive director at Secure Horizons.

$300M Acquisition Strengthens Palo Alto Networks' XDR and AI Governance PlatformPalo Alto Networks plans to acquire Koi Security for $300 million to address growing AI-driven endpoint risks. The startup's technology adds deep visibility into AI agents plug-ins and nonbinary code, enhancing Cortex XDR and Prisma AIRS as enterprises confront a growing unmanaged AI attack surface.

Enabling Practical Endpoint Control Without Productivity Trade-offsRemoving local admin rights often creates helpdesk and user friction. An identity-first model reduces risk while keeping business operational. Join CyberArk's practical webinar session to learn how identity-first endpoint control replaces standing admin rights with just-in-time access.

Ivanti's Endpoint Manager Mobile Flaws Under Active ExploitationThe European Commission fell victim to a cyberattack that could have allowed the theft of some staff personal information. The European Union's executive body said Friday it detected on Jan. 30 an attack on its "central infrastructure managing mobile devices."

How Consolidation Is Forcing CISOs and CIOs to Rethink Security ArchitectureFor more than a decade, enterprise security has relied on point solutions. Companies invested in separate tools - endpoint detection, firewalls, cloud security and IAM - each designed to address a specific threat or compliance requirement. But that approach is starting to break down.

More Than 91,000 Attacks Target Exposed LLM Endpoints in Coordinated CampaignsTwo coordinated campaigns generated more than 91,000 attack sessions against AI infrastructure between October and January, with threat actors probing more than 70 model endpoints from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google to build target lists for future exploitation.

Deal Represents Return to Tuck-In M&A for Palo After 3 Multi-Billion Dollar DealsPalo Alto Networks is in talks to buy Washington D.C-based endpoint security startup Koi for $400 million. Koi is focused on securing extensions, AI models, code packages and containers, and its differentiation lies in mapping, assessing risk and govern the software landscape at enterprise scale.

COO Kevin Simzer Says 'Model Enables Testing of Threats Across Real-World Topologies'By using telemetry from endpoints, servers, cloud and email, Trend Micro's digital twin can safely simulate cyberattacks across a full enterprise. COO Kevin Simzer said it supports risk modeling and testing of controls, offering insights beyond legacy red-teaming exercises.

Attackers Exploit Cloud Credential Exposure and 'Over-Permissioning,' Experts WarnAttackers keep hammering cloud-based identities to help them bypass endpoint and network defenses, logging in using inadvertently exposed credentials - or ones harvested through infostealers - then escalating access thanks to over-permissioned accounts, experts warn.

Company Targets Non-Binary Software Blind Spots Left by Endpoint Security ToolsWith $48 million in funding, Koi is scaling up efforts to help enterprises secure browser extensions, AI models and package code often missed by legacy tools. CEO Amit Assaraf says Koi is the only firm offering centralized governance for this fast-growing risk category.

CEO Nick Schneider Says Cylance Integration Expands Security Platform ValueRoughly half of clients adopting Aurora endpoint security are replacing older, legacy endpoint solutions, while the other half are swapping out or augmenting next-gen endpoint tools, said CEO Nick Schneider. Arctic Wolf's security operations in Cylance's technology has created a unified platform delivering more than standalone endpoint protection.
