Why Sensitive Data Detection Is Harder in AI Workflows

Sensitive data used to live in predictable places database columns, known field names, structured rows. That changed when data moved into documents. And it changed again when AI workflows arrived. In this video, we walk through why detecting sensitive data in AI pipelines is fundamentally different from traditional data discovery, and why the old approaches break. We cover the four failure modes that make detection hard in AI workflows.

5 Best Predictive Cyber Intelligence Platforms for Enterprise Security Teams (2026)

Most security tools describe what has already happened. The harder question is what happens next: which exposures an attacker will chain together, and where they will get in. CloudSEK's Global Threat Landscape Report 2025 describes cybercrime as a structured, industrial ecosystem built on stolen credentials, access marketplaces, and coordinated attack chains, and frames the response as a shift from reactive defense toward predictive resilience.

Prompt Injection and the Rise of Agentic Risk

Boxers will often say, the punches that hurt the most aren’t the ones which are thrown with the most force, but the ones they didn’t see coming. I think the same is true in cybersecurity. It’s not the most advanced technically efficient, 0-day utilizing attacks that have the biggest impact, but rather those quiet ones. With no malware or suspicious login at three in the morning from an IP address in a country your company has never done business with. No alert fires.

AI Pentesting Buyer's Guide: How to evaluate AI pentesting vendors

Pentesting made sense when releases happened every few months. A point-in-time assessment could provide an accurate picture of risk for weeks, sometimes months. Today, engineering teams ship continuously. Our State of AI in Pentesting survey of 200 CISOs and 200 engineering leaders, found that 76% deploy significant changes at least weekly, while nearly 40% deploy daily. Yet only 21% validate security on every release. That gap has consequences.

MCP Supply Chain Security: How Malicious MCP Servers Are Infiltrating Enterprise AI Environments

Every enterprise deploying AI agents is building on a foundation of third-party MCP servers they don’t control, can’t verify, and barely track. The security conversation keeps focusing on the model – prompt injection, jailbreaks, hallucinations. That’s the wrong place to look. We’ve covered why that framing falls short elsewhere too – see System Prompts Are Not Security Boundaries. Business Logic Graphs Are.

AI Innovation Challenge: Help Shape the Future of Cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence is transforming cybersecurity, and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) are at the forefront of that evolution. That's why we're launching the WatchGuard AI Innovation Challenge, an opportunity for MSPs to share ideas for AI agents and automations that help security teams work smarter, operate more efficiently, and better protect their customers.

Shadow AI - The Hidden Risk in Every Pocket

Shadow AI is already on your employees' phones — and it's invisible to your network controls. This demo follows a real workflow: an employee gets blocked from using an unauthorized AI tool on her corporate laptop, so she switches to her personal phone instead. No VPN, no DLP, no visibility, no corporate controls follow her there.

Can we defend against ai-powered attackers?

In this week's Intel Chat, Chris Luft and Matt Bromiley discuss how the same AI capabilities fueling adversaries are available to defenders too. Matt's takeaway: you don't need to buy an AI product to keep pace. The same way an attacker points AI at a code base, defenders can point it at detection rules and telemetry. Chris adds that as more developers use these models to check their own code, the playing field will level out, though the next year or two will likely bring a spike in exploits from lower-skilled attackers leveraging AI before defenses catch up.

How AI Is Accelerating the Cyber Kill Chain?

AI Is Accelerating the Cyber Kill Chain: Faster Attacks, Greater Risk AI is changing the speed and scale of modern cyber attacks. From accelerating reconnaissance to reducing the time required for initial access, attackers are leveraging AI to move faster across the entire cyber kill chain. In this video, Paul Girardi explains how AI is impacting each stage of the attack lifecycle, including: As attackers automate more of the kill chain, security teams need smarter approaches to detect, disrupt, and deceive adversaries before they can achieve their objectives.
