Every security leader at a bank, insurer, or asset manager has had a version of this conversation: Security wants to eliminate a class of vulnerabilities. Engineering explains what it would take to upgrade the platform where they live. Somebody prices out the regression testing. Somebody else raises the change-freeze calendar. The finding gets an exception, a compensating control, and a date

A junior analyst in a security operations center, or SOC, has usually learned the job the slow way. You work the same phishing lure dozens of times, chase the same familiar malware pattern and write up the same case note at the end of the shift. Eventually you know what normal looks like, which is how you notice when something isn’t. AI tools handle a lot of that repetitive work, and the people doing the … More → The post Many expect AI in the SOC to make entry jobs harder to get appeared first on Help Net Security.

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget on Wednesday confirmed that attackers who stole $387.5 million last week exploited a zero-day flaw in third-party security products, citing ongoing investigation findings from SlowMist.

Attackers exploited a flaw found by an AI research agent within four days of its public disclosure, and they are exploiting more vulnerabilities overall, according to new research by Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG). The researchers examined vulnerability disclosure and exploitation data from January 2025 to August 2026. Disclosures doubled, exploitation stays rare Monthly CVE disclosures doubled in 2026, from 5,045 in January to 10,740 in August. Only 0.23% of the vulnerabilities disclosed this year, … More → The post The vulnerabilities AI finds are the ones attackers want appeared first on Help Net Security.
