MultiCare Health CISO Jason Elrod on Need for Faster Cyber ResilienceEmerging AI tools can identify and exploit software vulnerabilities within minutes, forcing healthcare organizations to rethink cyber strategies. Jason Elrod, CISO of MultiCare Health System, explains why exploitability management, microsegmentation and AI-driven resilience matter more than ever.

When attackers can discover and exploit vulnerabilities in minutes, last quarter's audit doesn't mean much. CISOs need to shift from static measurement to real-time awareness -- and fast. The post The AI era demands a different kind of CISO appeared first on CyberScoop.

In a new report from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), experts warn of an "AI vulnerability storm" triggered by the introduction of Anthropic's Claude Mythos.

In the rapid evolution of the 2026 threat landscape, a frustrating paradox has emerged for CISOs and security leaders: Identity programs are maturing, yet the risk is actually increasing

Security doesn’t fail at the point of breach. It fails at the point of impact.  That line set the tone for this year’s Picus Breach and Simulation (BAS) Summit, where researchers, practitioners, and CISOs all echoed the same theme: cyber defense is no longer about prediction. It's about proof

Experts at Infosecurity Europe 2025 highlighted a range of major industry trends, from advanced social engineering techniques to vulnerability exploits

CISO Sean Atkinson on Proactive, Integrated Approach to Hybrid Threat DefenseCenter for Internet Security CISO Sean Atkinson calls for integrated threat intelligence, stronger community collaboration, and enhanced playbooks to confront rising hybrid threats that exploit gaps across cybersecurity and physical domains.

Trellix's John Fokker Advises CISOs to Prioritize Patching, MFA, Network VisibilityThreat actors aren't rushing to adopt AI tools to exploit vulnerabilities. "They still prefer a victim with weak passwords, bad MFA, bad patching. It is the easiest way to make money for criminals so they don't have to invest in AI," said John Fokker, head of threat intelligence at Trellix.

SecOps highlights this week include the executive role in "cyber readiness;" Cisco's Hypershield promise; and Middle East cyber ops heat up.

Our Vectra Masked CISO series tackles some of the biggest issues in security and how to overcome them Advertorial Security must be tried, tested, and tested again. It’s become easier than ever for cybercriminals to find stealthy new ways to gain access to and navigate laterally across systems, exploit gaps in hybrid workflows, or hijack cloud accounts to gain access to a target. It is vital that every CISO can offer a clear picture of how their security is really holding up against the latest tactics, techniques, and procedures. However, all too often I’ve seen my fellow CISOs fall into a cycle of preparing annual penetration tests of point systems to be “compliant,” which in fact only makes them sitting ducks just waiting for a breach to occur.…
