Background for this topic.
Bypass describes attacker methods that circumvent specific security controls, such as authentication checks, input validation, or detection systems, without directly exploiting the underlying vulnerability. These techniques often leverage design flaws, misconfigurations, or protocol weaknesses to evade protections like firewalls, multi-factor authentication, or antivirus scanning.
Bypassing controls can enable unauthorized access, data exfiltration, or persistent presence while avoiding alerts, complicating detection and response. Effective defense requires layered security measures, rigorous configuration management, and continuous validation of control effectiveness to identify and close bypass paths before attackers exploit them.
AI Actions Bypass Security ToolsArtificial intelligence-powered browsers could expose enterprises to data theft, malware distribution and unauthorized access to corporate apps, new research shows. AI browsers built to complete tasks autonomously lack the security awareness to verify whether an instruction is safe.
Attacks on RMM Tools Surged in 2025, With 51 Solutions Flagged as TargetsCybercriminals are hijacking trusted remote monitoring and management tools to bypass defenses, gain persistent access and quietly stage ransomware attacks. Experts warn MSPs and enterprises that supply chain exposure amplifies the scale of these intrusions.
