Unpatched Shark Vacuum Flaw Could Let Attackers Control Other Vacuums Region-Wide

Pull the certificate off the flash of a Shark RV2320EDUS robot vacuum, and you can run root commands on other people’s Shark vacuums across the same AWS region: watch the camera, drive the robot, read the map of the house, and take the Wi-Fi password in plaintext. A researcher publishing under the handle tokay0 put the method online on Monday, having tested it only against vacuums he

OpenAI’s GPT-Red Automates Prompt Injection Testing to Harden GPT-5.6 Sol

OpenAI has disclosed details of GPT-Red, an internal automated red-teaming model that scales prompt injection vulnerability discovery with an aim to fix issues before the tools are deployed widely. “GPT‑Red is a strong red-teamer, and our previous models are highly vulnerable to its prompt injection attacks,” the artificial intelligence (AI) company said. “We use GPT‑Red to adversarially train

Agent vs. Agentless Cloud Security: Why Deployment Methods Matter

The rapid adoption of cloud technologies has brought significant security challenges for organizations of all sizes. According to recent studies, over 70% of enterprises now operate in hybrid or multi-cloud environments, with 93% employing a multi-cloud strategy[1]. This complexity requires robust security tools, but opinions vary on the best deployment method—agent-based, agentless, or a combination of both. Agent-based and agentless cloud security approaches offer distinct benefits and

Securing Agent Identities: 8 Risks Every CISO Must Address

Enterprises have spent two decades building real discipline around human identity: provisioning, least privilege, access reviews, clean deprovisioning. AI agents arrived faster than that discipline could be extended to them, so a population of powerful new identities is now operating ahead of the controls meant to govern it. An agent acts within the identity it is given, and that identity is often over-provisioned from the start, carrying broad, inherited, or standing access well beyond

A Zero Trust Approach to AI Asset Inventory

In a Zero Trust architecture, the foundational rule is simple: “You cannot protect what you cannot see.” Organizations are rapidly adopting Artificial Intelligence, leading to a sprawling ecosystem of Large Language Models (LLMs), internal machine learning models, third-party APIs, training datasets, and vector databases. This rapid expansion creates two major security blind spots: Lack of Visibility: IT and Security teams often do not know what AI assets exist, where they a…

How to Request Security Budget from Your CFO and Exec Teams

Security and finance teams both care deeply about risk, but they define and measure it differently. Security leaders often lead with controls, frameworks, and technical severity, while finance executives focus on outcomes like revenue, predictability, and cost containment. But when security conversations don’t clearly connect to financial impact, budget requests can stall. Framing risk in a way that aligns with executive priorities can help security leaders bridge the cross-departm…
