has been a long-standing challenge in the machine learning community. Whenever a new paradigm comes along, whether it’s deep learning, reinforcement learning, self-supervised learning, or graph neural networks, you’ll almost always see practitioners eager to try it out on anomaly detection problems. LLMs are, of course, no exception. In this post, we’ll take a look at some emerging ways people are using LLMs in anomaly detection pipelines: Direct anomaly detection Data augmentation Anomaly explanation LLM-based representation learning Intelligent detection model selection Multi-agent system for autonomous anomaly detection (Bonus) Anomaly detection for LLM agentic systems For each application pattern, we’ll check…

Israeli startup Sola Security has raised a $35 million Series A round, the company announced Thursday, which brings the total funding to date for the company to $65 million. Founded in 2024 by cybersecurity veterans Guy Flechter and Ron Peled, Sola Security and its investors are betting on a growing market for no-code development platforms that allows security teams to build custom security applications quickly and without significant technical expertise.

When announcing its seed-round, Sola Security said…

Data Security’s New Frontier: How Generative AI is Rewriting the Cybersecurity Playbook Semantic Intelligence™ utilizes context-aware AI to discover structured and unstructured data across cloud and on-prem environments. The “Content Explorer” tab shows you the type of data you have (including category and subcategory), its location, and who has access to it. The whispers in the cybersecurity hallways have grown into a roar. Generative AI isn’t just another technological trend – it’s a seismic shift that’s fundamentally transforming how organizations protect their most critical asset: data. Karthik Krishnan, founder and CEO of Concentric AI, understands this landscape better than most.…

What is Usenet? Have you ever heard of Usenet? It might sound like a relic from the past, but nothing could be further from the truth.

The technical training sessions at Black Hat USA offer a unique monitoring opportunity, as they deliver hands-on learning opportunities for attendees to attempt new attacks. Many training sessions use a cloud resource owned by the trainer that the attendees connect to directly from the training room. This creates a traffic path of end users connecting to a wireless access point (AP) that is routed along an inspected traffic path out to the cloud. Our role in the SOC within the Black Hat NOC is to ensure stable connectivity for the AP and traffic path to the internet, and to monitor…
