Logs & Lattes Episode 5: Top 10 Cybersecurity Threats Hybrid Teams Actually Face in 2026

Lean security teams operating in hybrid and regulated environments are not just fighting threats. They are fighting time. When evidence is scattered across email, identity, VPN endpoints, cloud, and network tools, even a solid detection means nothing if triage slows to a crawl. In this episode of Logs and Lattes, host Palmer Wallace and Graylog Solutions Architect Kyle Pearson break down the top ten security threats hybrid organizations are actually dealing with in 2026 and the single common failure behind most of them: fragmented telemetry that delays investigation when it matters most.

Detecting Notepad++ CVE-2025-49144 Using Sysmon Logs

Text editors rarely show up in threat models. Installers show up even less. CVE-2025-49144 changes that. The issue is a local privilege escalation in the Notepad++ Windows installer that can allow a low-privileged user to gain SYSTEM-level execution by abusing insecure executable search behavior during installation. Affected versions include Notepad++ 8.8.1 and earlier, per the NVD record.

The Human-AI Alliance in Security Operations

Picture a SOC analyst starting an investigation. A suspicious spike in authentication activity appears on their dashboard, and they need to understand what’s happening quickly. To do that, they move through a familiar sequence of tools. What begins as a single investigation quickly turns into a chain of context switches: That’s nine steps to investigate one event. This isn’t accidental. Security tools have evolved to solve isolated problems, but together they have created fragmentation.

Anomaly Detection with Machine Learning to Improve Security

Being a security analyst can feel like being trapped in a Where’s Waldo book. You can find yourself staring at a data stream looking for something that “isn’t like the others.” However, as your organization collects and correlates more data from the environment, finding the Waldo can feel overwhelming. In a modern IT environment, organizations have hundreds or thousands of devices, users, and data points that they need to correlate so they can identify normal network activity.
