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.
OpenAI has rolled out a new Pro subscription that costs $100 and is in line with Claude's pricing, which also has a $100 subscription, in addition to the $200 Max monthly plan. [...]
Anthropic's AI Model Exposes How Unprepared Enterprises Are to RespondAnthropic's announcement this week of Claude Mythos Preview frontier model capable of finding zero-days flaws humans may miss is both a warning and a call to action for CIOs: The way enterprises have been managing cybersecurity is about to change forever, and they need to get ready.
Early Tests of New Anthropic AI Model Show Fast Detection, Better Flaw CorrelationCrowdStrike's early testing of Anthropic's new Claude Mythos Preview AI model shows faster vulnerability detection and improved cross-system context, signaling a shift toward AI-driven security operations that compress discovery-to-response timelines and force new defensive frameworks.
DOD Official: AI Firm Wanted 'Approval Role in the Operational Decision Chain'Internal memos used by the Department of Defense to justify its decision to blacklist artificial intelligence firm Anthropic said the firm's models could not be reliably controlled for military use.
EU AI Regulation May Hold Implications for Powerful New Anthropic ModelAnthropic jolted the tech and policy worlds this week with it announcement of Claude Mythos Preview. Europe's leaders - who recently passed legislation that affect Anthropic's strategy with risky systems such as this - are taking a keen interest.
The department is looking to create a “menu of priority AI export packages that the U.S. Government will promote to allies and partners around the world.” The post Commerce setting up new AI export regime to push adoption of ‘American AI’ abroad appeared first on CyberScoop.
Its Mythos Preview model, which can allegedly find and exploit critical zero-days, also comes with certain controls, the vendor said.
Just what FOSS developers need – a flood of AI-discovered vulnerabilities Opinion Anthropic describes Project Glasswing as a coalition of tech giants committing $100 million in AI resources to hunt down and fix long-hidden vulnerabilities in critical open source software that it's finding with its new Mythos AI program. Or as The Reg put it, "an AI model that can generate zero-day vulnerabilities."…
While much of the discussion on AI security centers around protecting ‘shadow’ AI and GenAI consumption, there's a wide-open window nobody's guarding: AI browser extensions. A new report from LayerX exposes just how deep this blind spot goes, and why AI extensions may be the most dangerous AI threat surface in your network that isn't on anyone's
Cut through the noise and understand the real risks, responsibilities, and responses shaping enterprise AI today. Webinar Promo 2025 was the year of AI experimentation. In 2026, the bills are coming due. AI adoption has moved from isolated pilots to autonomous, enterprise wide deployment, bringing with it a sophisticated new generation of security challenges.…
Experts Warn of Faster and Higher Volume Attacks, Rising Patient Safety WorriesEmerging powerful AI tools - such as Anthropic's new Claude Mythos - that are capable of autonomously identifying and exploiting software bugs in a flash could reshape the healthcare cyber landscape by accelerating attacks and raising the risk of widespread operational disruption, experts said.
Also, Medusa Ransomware, Grafana Flaw, German Political Party BreachThis week, German police unmasked a REvil leader, a critical Docker flaw, Medusa ransomware surged, DPRK hackers abused GitHub, Grafana AI bugs enabled data theft, scams hit $20B in the United States, Ivanti exploited and attacks hit Northern Ireland schools and a German political party.
Ruling Keeps Claude Models Out of Defense Systems During Separate Legal ChallengesA federal appeals court allowed the Pentagon to enforce its "supply-chain risk" designation against Anthropic, keeping its AI models barred from defense contracts while parallel litigation continues to challenge the policy's legality and constitutional limits.
Former DoD CIO Beavers on Ethics, Reliability and AI as a National Security ToolAs AI is increasingly used in defense operations, a critical question emerges: Who controls the system - the military or the model? Former DoD CIO Leslie Beavers explores challenges related to ethics and reliability, vendor risk, and autonomy as AI tools become key combatants in modern warfare.
Wash your mouth out with digital soap Apple Intelligence, the personal AI system integrated into newer Macs, iPhones, and other iThings, can be hijacked using prompt injection, forcing the model into producing an attacker-controlled result and putting millions of users at risk, researchers have shown.…
As traditional fraud markers become obsolete, we must treat digital identity as critical infrastructure and adopt a layered, real-time defense to neutralize sophisticated crime rings. The post Don’t just fight fraud, hunt it appeared first on CyberScoop.
As AI tools become more accessible, employees are adopting them without formal approval from IT and security teams. While these tools may boost productivity, automate tasks, or fill gaps in existing workflows, they also operate outside the visibility of security teams, bypassing controls and creating new blind spots in what is known as shadow AI. While similar to the phenomenon of
SANS Institute reveals that AI agents are behind a 76% surge in non-human identities
Pure Play OT Security Firms Want A Seat At The TableThere's growing concern in the operational technology cybersecurity community that manufacturers and operators, and their security vendors, will be left out in the cold by the latest efforts to use artificial intelligence in securing critical software.
