Lateral Movement, Dwell Time, and the Role of Microsegmentation
The impact of an attack develops after access is gained The impact of an attack is rarely defined by how access is gained, but by how far an attacker can move after entering the environment. Preventive controls still matter, but they do not determine the full outcome. What shapes the impact is how long an attacker can operate and how much of the environment they can reach before being detected and contained. In many organizations, that window remains longer than expected. Att

What Mythos Means for Security
Looking at the recent discussions around Anthropic’s Mythos Preview, what stands out is not just model capability, but how it may change the pace at which vulnerabilities move from discovery to actual use. It is easy to look at this as another step forward in AI performance, but the more relevant shift seems to be around timing. The process that connects vulnerability identification, exploit development, and validation has always required both depth of expertise and a certai

RSAC 2026 and the MDR Perspective
A few years ago, Managed Detection and Response was associated with a limited group of providers that had the operational maturity to deliver it. At RSAC 2026, that perception shifted and MDR now sits at the center of how vendors position themselves, whether they come from platform, cloud, or service backgrounds. This widespread adoption creates an inflection point. When every vendor positions itself around MDR, the label itself loses precision. What begins to matter is how M

Cyber Risk Management: Why Quantification Changes Everything
There is a reason security budget conversations feel different from almost every other investment discussion that happens in a boardroom. Security risk is structurally difficult to express in the terms that investment decisions are built around, and that difficulty has consequences that ripple through every layer of how organizations fund and operate their security programs. But the measurement problem is only half the story. Even organizations that successfully build a quant

The 4-Stage Attack Chain Behind North Korea's Lazarus Group and Medusa Ransomware
Broadcom's Symantec and Carbon Black Threat Hunter Team have identified activity linking North Korea's Lazarus Group to a series of Medusa ransomware attacks. U.S. healthcare organizations are among the primary targets, with cases in the Middle East also referenced. What makes this campaign worth examining closely is the activity that precedes the ransomware itself. The toolset identified by Symantec and Carbon Black is Lazarus-specific custom malware, not off-the-shelf crime

OpenClaw Security Alert: Agent Takeover and Malicious npm Package
Recent issues surrounding OpenClaw can be summarized in one sentence: locally running executable agents are becoming a new attack surface. According to OpenClaw’s official security documentation, this agent can perform arbitrary shell command execution, file read and write operations, network service access, and message sending depending on configuration. In other words, it goes far beyond a typical chatbot and is closer to an executable tool that actually connects and oper
