NIST provides broad standards, guidance, and risk management frameworks covering security, fairness, and privacy for many technology domains, whereas the MITRE ATLAS framework is a descriptive knowledge base that catalogs real-world adversary tactics, techniques, and mitigations relevant to AI/ML systems. In simpler words, NIST guides organizations on managing risks, and MITRE ATLAS helps them model attacker behavior and plan defenses against attacks on AI/ML systems.

SECURITY AFFAIRS AI-CYBERSECURITY NEWSLETTER ROUND 6 Pierluigi Paganini November 01, 2026 Security Affairs AI-CYBERSECURITY newsletter includes a collection of the best articles and research on AI in the international landscape Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing cybersecurity, reshaping both the techniques used by attackers and the tools available to defenders. AI agents can automate tasks, analyze large amounts of data, discover vulnerabilities and accelerate offensive operations. At the same time, AI is creating new capabilities for threat detection, incident analysis and response. Security Affairs’ new newsletter follows this evolution, covering every week the latest threats, attacks, vulnerabilities and developments at the…

AI is moving from answering questions to taking action. Agents can use tools, access enterprise data, and carry out work across systems on our behalf or autonomously. This creates opportunities for businesses to move faster, but it also changes what security must protect. An agent’s identity, the authority it carries, and the actions it takes all become security decisions. As enterprises put agents into production, they need controls that keep pace without hindering the work those agents are designed to do. Palo Alto Networks is working with NVIDIA to advance this goal across five connected areas in support of the…

As AI becomes increasingly utilized throughout the security space, it’s important to consider how it should be used most effectively. We’ve all seen companies adding AI into every offering and function they perform, often as much as possible.In security operations, this creates a divide between two types of companies:Companies that rely primarily on AI to do the workCompanies that enable their operators to become higher performers through the use of AIBoth types address a clear problem: volume. Anyone who has worked in a SOC knows that alert volume results in burnout, limits the number of customers you can support, and…

Within North Korea’s sprawling hacking operations—often designed to earn money for the highly sanctioned and repressive regime—TraderTraitor has stood out in recent years for its sophistication and targeting of crypto and decentralized finance companies. Last year, the FBI named TraderTraitor as being responsible for the $1.5 billion hack against crypto exchange Bybit.Binance did not answer WIRED’s questions about whether it believes North Korean hackers are behind the colossal heist, pointing towards a statement saying it will cover all losses from the hack and is working with law enforcement officials to identify who is responsible.“Our initial investigation suggested that the security…

LIANNE POTTER One of those spyware companies is called Candiru. Now, do you know what a candiru is, Graham? GRAHAM CLULEY Is that a kangaroo with a sweet tooth? Is that a candiru? LIANNE POTTER I can totally see that. It’s a tiny parasitic catfish. It’s known as the toothpick fish. LIANNE POTTER And reputedly, if you take a wee in Amazon, the river, not Jeff Bezos’s gaff— GRAHAM CLULEY Although, I mean, frankly, if you’ve got the choice— LIANNE POTTER Well, if you’ve got the choice.

The Modern Runtime Challenge Cloud infrastructure no longer sits still. Containers spin up and disappear in seconds, microservices talk to each other across clusters and clouds, and serverless functions run for just long enough to do their job. That agility drives innovation, but it also gives attackers a moving target and defenders very little time to react. The threats have adapted. Modern attackers exploit workloads while they’re running, using zero-day vulnerabilities, fileless techniques, and unauthorized binaries to gain a foothold and move laterally before anyone has a chance to investigate. Perimeter-only defenses can’t see what happens inside a workload at…

Binance says its investigation into the $6.3 billion cryptocurrency hack and theft has identified several breach points, including a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop. Blockchain intelligence firms have attributed the hack to North Korean hackers tracked as TraderTraitor, associated with the Lazarus Group. The October 30 updates provide the first explanation of how attackers reached Binance’s internal systems, alongside a commitment to cover all losses. However, withdrawals remain suspended while the exchange rebuilds security around the affected service. Hackread.com’s earlier coverage reported outside estimates of up to $5.8 billion in suspicious transfers. Binance has since put the estimated impact at approximately…
