October 29 was the deadline CISA gave US federal agencies to patch PHP2Shell. Most businesses sit outside that mandate, yet the date is a fair yardstick for everyone else. Exploitation is confirmed, fixes have been out for eight days, and for many teams the hardest question is still the first one: where exactly are we [...]

Validation in AI pentesting is the process that ensures a simulated exploit or vulnerability is legitimate, reproducible, and poses a security risk to the targeted system. It’s the foundation of effective risk prioritization.   As penetration testers rely more heavily on AI tools to produce results at scale, exploit validation has become increasingly important in separating [...]

The best cybersecurity marketing agencies for B2B vendors combine security expertise with the ability to turn complex products into credible messaging, relevant demand and measurable commercial opportunities. What makes a cybersecurity marketing agency different from a generalist? A cybersecurity marketing agency should understand how security products work, how buyers evaluate them and which claims need [...]

Hardened container images solved one part of the software supply chain problem. The operating system layer can now ship with few or no vulnerabilities known at the time it was built, and it can be rebuilt and repatched continuously. But most of the code running in a modern application does not come from the base [...]

Technology decisions have traditionally been driven by functionality, price, and ease of use. If a solution met the business need and integrated with existing systems, it was usually considered the right choice. Who owns the service provider and which legal jurisdiction governs rights to the service rarely features in procurement discussions. That is beginning to [...]

With agentic AI further boosting productivity, human code review becomes a serious bottleneck. Developers need to move upstream, establishing the ground rules to ensure that AI plays by the rules. No matter how drastically artificial intelligence has changed the way software is created, human developers are still indispensable to the software development process. But the [...]

In January, the Cloud Security Alliance asked security professionals how they handle the identities on which their AI systems run. Fewer than a quarter of organizations had a documented, formally adopted policy for creating or removing one. More than 16% do not track when a new identity is created at all. Those identities hold tokens [...]

Organisations across every sector are accelerating their adoption of generative AI, driven by board-level expectations for rapid innovation and measurable business value. Yet the same boards are equally insistent that AI initiatives must not compromise security, privacy, or regulatory compliance, and not lead to runaway cost.  This dual mandate has placed CIOs and security leaders [...]

Scams are evolving with technology. Generative AI is a game changer for scammers and has been blamed for the rise in increasingly sophisticated phishing campaigns. It is also enabling scammers to add credibility to their schemes by providing a quick, cheap, and easy way to create fake websites, videos, documents, and photographs. Tasks that once [...]

AI is changing the way software is being developed. From generating code, helping developers make sense of new frameworks, reviewing pull requests, and even suggesting solutions for existing vulnerabilities, AI is playing an increasingly active role in the software development process. There is an upside here, too. AI is speeding up development, eliminating redundant efforts, [...]

TrendAI joins Nvidia as an inaugural partner in the Open Secure AI Alliance, advancing open models, harnesses, and research to strengthen cyber defense.

Between January and June 2026, TrendAI™ tracked more than 35,000 fake sites exploiting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, spanning counterfeit merchandise shops, cloned ticket pages, and bogus free-streaming sites, which together drew roughly 1.48 million visits from Japan.

An AI agent has run a ransomware intrusion on its own for the first time, from break-in to data destruction. The autonomous attacks TrendAI™ Research predicted are beginning to arrive, and defending against them shifts from blocking known indicators to detecting behavior.

We analyzed a sustained tech support scam campaign that sent more than 13 million emails to Japanese addresses, with workplace-themed lures suggesting a possible expansion toward enterprise targets.

OpenAI’s own models broke out of a test sandbox and into Hugging Face’s servers to solve an evaluation, with no human attacker involved. The incident showed how keeping agentic AI safe now depends on how it’s contained, not just on how it’s trained.

TrendAI™ Research breaks down what changed in CISA’s updated advisory on an ongoing PLC exploitation, why this activity might be more dangerous than a similar campaign in 2023, and how organizations can take action now to protect themselves.

Device code phishing abuses a legitimate authentication feature designed for devices with limited input capabilities. This article breaks down how the technique works, examines a recent observed case, and outlines the layered security measures organizations can implement.

A briefing for security leaders on separating vulnerability disclosure volume from exploitable risk in 2026.

TrendAI™ Research analyzed over 200 Gemini CLI session logs showing how a Russian-speaking threat actor used AI to run a live botnet, finishing a full C&C migration in six minutes while doing just 11% of the work himself.
