How security teams are putting AI to work right now

AI is moving from proof-of-concept into everyday security operations. In many SOCs, it is now used to cut down alert noise, guide analysts during investigations, and speed up incident response. What was once seen as experimental technology is starting to deliver results that CISOs can measure. Some of this has been in place for years. Machine learning already powers many threat detection engines and behavioral analytics tools. But the recent wave of GenAI has opened … More → The post How security teams are putting AI to work right now appeared first on Help Net Security.

Buttercup: Open-source AI-driven system detects and patches vulnerabilities

Buttercup is a free, automated, AI-powered platform that finds and fixes vulnerabilities in open-source software. Developed by Trail of Bits, it recently earned second place in DARPA’s AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC). Main components Buttercup is made up of four main components, each playing a different role in finding and fixing vulnerabilities. The orchestration/UI component keeps everything running smoothly, coordinating the actions of the other parts of the system and showing you the vulnerabilities it discovers … More → The post Buttercup: Open-source AI-driven system detects and patches vulnerabilities appeared first on Help Net Security.

Weak alerting and slipping prevention raise risk levels for CISOs

Prevention effectiveness is falling, detection gaps remain wide, and attackers are exploiting weaknesses in data protection and credentials. Data theft prevention has dropped to 3 percent, password cracking success rates have nearly doubled, and new threat groups are bypassing defenses. The latest Blue Report from Picus Security shows that prevention effectiveness against cyberattacks has dropped for the first time in two years, falling from 69% in 2024 to 62% in 2025. Detection capabilities remain weak, … More → The post Weak alerting and slipping prevention raise risk levels for CISOs appeared first on Help Net Security.
