How to Detect and Eliminate Shadow AI in 5 Steps

The pressure to integrate AI is immense. Your developers need to move fast, and they’re finding ways to get the job done. But this rush for innovation often happens outside of established governance, creating a sprawling, invisible risk known as Shadow AI. To secure your organization, you must first understand what Shadow AI actually is. It’s not just a developer downloading a file to their laptop. Shadow AI is the totality of unmanaged AI assets within your supply chain.

DeepChat AI agent XSS-to-RCE via Mermaid and Electron IPC

In December 2025, a critical remote code execution vulnerability was disclosed in DeepChat, an open-source desktop AI agent platform built using Electron. The issue, tracked as CVE-2025-67744, affects all DeepChat versions prior to 0.5.3 and carries a CVSS score of 9.6. The vulnerability arises from the interaction between two separate weaknesses. The first allows attacker-controlled JavaScript execution through unsafe rendering of Mermaid diagrams.

AIOps in the Cato SASE Platform: Using Predictive AI Networking to Shift from Reactive to Proactive IT

It was a quiet Monday morning until John, head of IT, opened his laptop and saw 424 new support tickets. Users across the office were reporting issues like “apps won’t load” and “internet not working.” After hours of investigation that stretched into the next day, the team traced the problem to a branch router overwhelmed by malformed DNS queries from a misbehaving IoT device.

The 12 Months of Innovation: How Salt Security Helped Rewrite API & AI Security in 2025

As holiday lights go up and inboxes fill with year-in-review emails, it’s tempting to look back on 2025 as “the year of AI.” But for security teams, it was something more specific – the year APIs, AI agents, and MCP servers collided across the API fabric, expanding the attack surface faster than most organizations could keep up. At Salt Security, we spent 2025 focused on one thing: defending the API action layer where AI, applications, and data intersect.

Building a Real-Time Multiplayer Chess Game Inside ChatGPT (Agents SDK)

In this clip from This Week in NET, Systems Engineer Steve James gives a hands-on demo of a real-time multiplayer chess game running inside ChatGPT, built with the Agents SDK and Cloudflare Workers. Beyond the demo, we talk about what developers can build today with AI agents — and why, given the pace of innovation, it’s genuinely hard to predict what applications and experiences will emerge in 2026.

The SOC Analyst Agent: Bring an Agentic approach to work with your SOC team

For years, security teams have dealt with the challenges of alert fatigue, endless tools and data sources, and constant context switching. But, so far, we haven’t been able to significantly improve it with traditional tools. However, new agentic approaches can start providing improved gains. This begins to change the way SOC teams operate and approach managing their talent.

Exploring The Future Of AI In Cybersecurity Penetration Testing

In recent years, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in various fields has grown tremendously, and cybersecurity is no exception. As cyber threats evolve in complexity, the need for innovative solutions like AI-driven penetration testing becomes more crucial. AI has the potential to revolutionize how businesses approach security, making penetration testing faster, more accurate, and more effective. This article delves into the increasing role of AI in cybersecurity, particularly in penetration testing, exploring its benefits, challenges, and future implications.

Questions to ask before vetting an AI agent for your SOC

So you’re ready to “hire” an agent or two for security operations. While AI agents won’t replace your human analysts, they are quickly becoming indispensable team members. Choosing the right ones should resemble a typical hiring process: you need to determine if they possess the necessary skills to fill your team’s gaps, work effectively with others, and grow with your organization. Here are five questions worth asking before you bring an AI agent on board in your SOC.
