Cybercriminals blend AI and social engineering to bypass detection

Attackers are focusing more on stealing identities. Because of this, companies need to use zero trust principles. They should also verify user identities more carefully, says DirectDefense. Researchers analyzed thousands of alerts, mapping them to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. Top five attack tactics Initial access: Initial access remains the most frequently-observed adversarial tactic, representing more than 27% of escalated alerts. In 2024, … More → The post Cybercriminals blend AI and social engineering to bypass detection appeared first on Help Net Security.

Why CISOs are watching the GenAI supply chain shift closely

In supply chain operations, GenAI is gaining traction. But according to Logility’s Supply Chain Horizons 2025 report, many security leaders remain uneasy about what that means for data protection, legacy tech, and trust in automation. The survey of 500 global supply chain leaders shows that 97% are already using some form of GenAI. But only a third are using tools designed specifically for supply chain tasks. And nearly half (43%) say they worry about how … More → The post Why CISOs are watching the GenAI supply chain shift closely appeared first on Help Net Security.
