Multi-Agent Collaborative Intrusion Detection for Low-Altitude Economy IoT: An LLM-Enhanced Agentic AI Framework

The rapid expansion of low-altitude economy Internet of Things LAE-IoT networks has created unprecedented security challenges due to dynamic three-dimensional mobility patterns, distributed autonomous operations, and severe resource constraints. Traditional intrusion detection systems designed fo...

Who Approved This Agent? Rethinking Access, Accountability, and Risk in the Age of AI Agents

AI agents are accelerating how work gets done. They schedule meetings, access data, trigger workflows, write code, and take action in real time, pushing productivity beyond human speed across the enterprise. Then comes the moment every security team eventually hits: “Wait… who approved this?”...

AIs are Getting Better at Finding and Exploiting Internet Vulnerabilities

Really interesting blog post from Anthropic: In a recent evaluation of AI models’ cyber capabilities, current Claude models can now succeed at multistage attacks on networks with dozens of hosts using only standard, open-source tools, instead of the custom tools needed by previous generations. Th...

Secure Intellicise Wireless Network: Agentic AI for Coverless Semantic Steganography Communication

Semantic Communication SemCom, leveraging its significant advantages in transmission efficiency and reliability, has emerged as a core technology for constructing future intellicise intelligent and concise wireless networks. However, intelligent attacks represented by semantic eavesdropping pose...

Toward Risk Thresholds for AI-Enabled Cyber Threats: Enhancing Decision-Making under Uncertainty with Bayesian Networks

Artificial intelligence AI is increasingly being used to augment and automate cyber operations, altering the scale, speed, and accessibility of malicious activity. These shifts raise urgent questions about when AI systems introduce unacceptable or intolerable cyber risk, and how risk thresholds...

I scan, you scan, we all scan for... knowledge?

Welcome to this week's edition of the Threat Source newsletter. " Upon us all a little rain must fall" -- Led Zeppelin, via Henry Wadsworth Longfellow I recently bumped into a colleague with whom I spent several years working in an MSSP environment. We had very different roles within the...

Microsoft Security success stories: Why integrated security is the foundation of AI transformation

AI is transforming how organizations operate and how they approach security. In this new era of agentic AI, every interaction, digital or human, must be built on trust. As businesses modernize, they’re not just adopting AI tools, they're rearchitecting their digital foundations. And that means...

A new era of agents, a new era of posture

The rise of AI Agents marks one of the most exciting shifts in technology today. Unlike traditional applications or cloud resources, these agents are not passive components- they reason, make decisions, invoke tools, and interact with other agents and systems on behalf of users. This autonomy...

Webinar: How Smart MSSPs Using AI to Boost Margins with Half the Staff

Every managed security provider is chasing the same problem in 2026 — too many alerts, too few analysts, and clients demanding "CISO-level protection" at SMB budgets. The truth? Most MSSPs are running harder, not smarter. And it's breaking their margins. That's where the quiet revolution is...

VoidLink Linux Malware Framework Built with AI Assistance Reaches 88,000 Lines of Code

The recently discovered sophisticated Linux malware framework known as VoidLink is assessed to have been developed by a single person with assistance from an artificial intelligence AI model. That's according to new findings from Check Point Research, which identified operational security blunder...

AI-supported vulnerability triage with the GitHub Security Lab Taskflow Agent

Triaging security alerts is often very repetitive because false positives are caused by patterns that are obvious to a human auditor but difficult to encode as a formal code pattern. But large language models LLMs excel at matching the fuzzy patterns that traditional tools struggle with, so we at...
