Topic: Digital Evidence in the Age of AI Recording Coming Soon Abstract: Generative AI is fundamentally changing what digital evidence looks like and how investigators must evaluate it. Text, images, audio, video, code, and even synthetic identities can now be generated or manipulated at a scale and level of realism that challenges traditional assumptions about authenticity. The current webinar explores how Generative AI is reshaping the digital-evidence landscape and influencing modern investigations. It examines the use of deepfakes, AI-assisted phishing, impersonation, disinformation, and synthetic content by malicious actors, and considers their implications for incident response and forensic decision-making. The session…

WARP is a Cloudflare feature that hides your IP address from the websites you visit. It does this by connecting you to a Cloudflare IP address near you. Like a VPN, it tunnels your traffic through an encrypted connection. Local networks and ISPs can no longer see what you are doing online. This part of WARP is commensurate with commercial VPN services; however, that is where the comparison ends. WARP doesn’t let you choose your VPN endpoint, so you cannot use it to access regional services or change your Netflix library. In addition, WARP isn’t a no-logs service, and it is…

Anthropic will spend $11.6 billion over seven years on Akamai’s cloud infrastructure, Akamai said Thursday. That’s more than six times the size of a $1.8 billion deal between the two companies that Bloomberg reported in May. The commitment isn’t ironclad; according to Akamai’s securities filing, it depends on Akamai meeting certain delivery and service-availability requirements, and either company can end the agreement under certain conditions. The deal is the largest in Akamai’s history and continues Anthropic’s compute gobbling-streak. It also represents a bet on a less-hyped corner of AI infrastructure: CPUs. Demand for CPUs, the general-purpose chips that handle work…

Because all three views read from the same graph, an analyst can move from the fleet to an agent, to a session, to the exact step that caused the alert, without switching tools or rebuilding a timeline. Agent Hooks Expand Enforcement Capabilities For supported agents, Falcon Guardian agent hooks bring even more detail into Agent Graph. Agent hooks plug into an agent’s native hooks system to capture activity at key points in a session: when a prompt is submitted, before a tool call runs, and after it completes. This adds more detailed nodes to the graph, such as exact prompt…

A top Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency official has called a security vendor’s decision to break the embargo on the recently disclosed PHP vulnerabilities “dangerous” and “inappropriate,” as cyber professionals grapple with how artificial intelligence is accelerating vulnerability timelines. The company in question, Chainguard, released patches for the PHP bugs more than six hours ahead of the planned, coordinated release last week, according to the PHP Foundation. Under coordinated disclosure processes, security firms like Chainguard receive vulnerability information in advance so they can develop patches and their users can immediately update their systems upon disclosure. Chainguard’s decision has been criticized…
