Background for this topic.
Artificial intelligence (AI) describes computer systems that perform tasks such as recognizing patterns, making predictions, understanding language, or generating content. In security reporting, the term commonly includes machine-learning models used for detection and analysis, as well as generative AI applications that produce text, code, images, or other outputs.
AI can help analyze security telemetry, prioritize vulnerabilities, and support investigations, but its outputs can be wrong or manipulated. Important attack surfaces include prompt injection that steers an application into unintended actions, sensitive data being exposed through prompts or model outputs, and excessive permissions granted to AI systems that use external tools. Models can also be degraded by poisoned training data or evaded with carefully crafted inputs. Practitioners should protect training and operational data, limit model access and tool permissions, test for adversarial behavior, and require appropriate human validation before high-impact decisions.
Lock 'em down interview AI agents represent the new insider threat to companies in 2026, according to Palo Alto Networks Chief Security Intel Officer Wendi Whitmore, and this poses several challenges to executives tasked with securing the expected surge in autonomous agents.…
Google is testing a new image AI model called "Nano Banana 2 Flash," and it's going to be as good as the Gemini 3 Pro Nano Banana, but it'll be cheaper. [...]
Also: Leadership Decisions Shaping Cybersecurity in 2026Security leaders are heading into 2026 facing growing pressure from AI-driven risks, limited resources and an increasingly complex threat landscape. Sean Mack, who leads ISMG's CXO Advisor practice, joined ISMG editors to discuss how these forces are reshaping security.
Cybersecurity experts discuss 2026 predictions, highlighting the rise of AI-driven threats, the shift to resilience over prevention, and the urgent need for advanced security measures to combat evolving risks
From securing MCPs and supply chain defenses to formal AI and quantum governance, experts share their wish lists for cyber safety in 2026.
If you're already subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, which costs $20, you can request OpenAI to cancel your subscription, and it may offer one month of free usage. [...]

Experts on Cyberattacks, Deepfakes, AI and Geopolitical Strife in the Year AheadCyberattacks, nation-state hacking and geopolitical shifts dominated 2025, but the year will also be remembered as a turning point - where AI blurred the lines between real and fake and AI agents introduced new enterprise risks. Our panel of experts discusses the top 10 trends to watch in 2026.
Agentic AI adoption and identity security risks, IGA expands in mid-market, SOC-identity team collaboration, and identity platform consolidation—this 2026 predictions post previews identity trends.
Concerns about an economic bubble bursting, along with doubts regarding return on investment, suggest the tide may be turning for the artificial intelligence industry.
IBM has disclosed details of a critical security flaw in API Connect that could allow attackers to gain remote access to the application
IBM urged customers to patch a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in its API Connect enterprise platform that could allow attackers to access apps remotely. [...]
3 Years in, GenAI Has Created Fewer New Roles Than ExpectedThree years after ChatGPT's public debut in November 2022, the promised artificial intelligence job revolution has arrived. It's just not what anyone anticipated. Research shows that demand for AI fluency jumped nearly sevenfold in two years.
A Look Back at 3 Key Identity Fraud Trends in 2025Fraudsters stick to the basics, because the basics work. Synthetic identities, fake accounts and tried-and-tested account takeovers still work, even in an age of artificial intelligence-related threats. Scammers are happy to keep on stealing the old-fashioned way.
Large language models have a well-earned reputation for making things up. But for AI cybersecurity architect Erica Burgess, rather than being a bug, GPT hallucinations can be a threat-modeling feature. "I like to think of the hallucinations as just ideas that haven't been tested yet," she said.
Jason Rolleston: Unified Agent and AI Aim to Boost Midmarket Security CapabilitiesBroadcom's integration of Symantec and Carbon Black promises a unified single-agent framework and AI-enhanced threat detection to help small and midmarket businesses defend against sophisticated cyberthreats with limited resources, said Jason Rolleston.
CISA ordered U.S. federal agencies to patch an actively exploited MongoDB vulnerability (MongoBleed) that can be exploited to steal credentials, API keys, and other sensitive data. [...]
The year ahead will see an intensified AI-driven cybersecurity arms race, with attackers leveraging autonomous malware and advanced AI technologies to outpace defenders, while security teams adopt increasingly sophisticated AI tools to combat evolving threats amidst growing vendor consolidation and platformization in the industry.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into security operations quickly, but many practitioners are still struggling to turn early experimentation into consistent operational value. This is because SOCs are adopting AI without an intentional approach to operational integration. Some teams treat it as a shortcut for broken processes. Others attempt to apply machine learning to problems
Use cases of AI in healthcare will continue to expand in 2026 - including for back-office automation, ambient exam room documentation, claims processing and clinical decision support - but so will critical privacy, security, legal and other risks, said attorney Wendell Bartnick of law firm Reed Smith.
