Who doesn’t like a good bedtime story from Grandma? In today’s landscape, more and more organizations are turning to intelligent chatbots or large language models (LLMs) to boost service quality and client support. This shift is receiving a lot of positive attention, offering a welcome change given the common frustrations with bureaucratic delays and the lackluster performance of traditional automated chatbot systems.

Remember Wireshark from the good old days of your IT degree or early engineering adventures? Well, guess what? It’s still kicking and just as relevant today as it was back then, and guess what else? It is still open source! Do your engineering or security teams use it? There’s a good chance they do if you’re on-premises. Believe it or not, Wireshark isn’t just for the land of wires and cables anymore. With some help from Falco and Kubernetes, it has a place in the cloud SOC.

There are more SaaS applications in use by businesses than ever before—and the adoption rate is only going to continue to increase.

For the security team at Udemy, AI in workflow automation provides an opportunity to unlock new time savings while keeping their organization secure, and protecting their online learning and teaching marketplace of 62 million users. But like all good security teams, they don’t want to sacrifice data security or privacy. AI in Tines, which is secure and private by design, provides that all-important layer of control - data never leaves the region, travels online, is logged, or is used for training.

While often considered a newer threat, and rightly so given its fast-rising dominance among the cybercrime landscape, ransomware is not a recent innovation in the ongoing cyber war. It stretches back decades to the early days of the internet, email, and even floppy discs.

The Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC) has exposed prompt injection vulnerabilities in the EmailGPT service. EmailGPT is an API service and Google Chrome extension that assists users in writing emails inside Gmail using OpenAI's GPT models. The service uses an API service that allows a malicious user to inject a direct prompt and take over the service logic. Attackers can exploit the issue by forcing the AI service to leak the standard hard-coded system prompts and/or execute unwanted prompts.
