We need to face a bitter truth: Most security awareness training out there just doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. Year after year, companies worldwide pour billions into all sorts of training programs, posters, and click-through modules, yet phishing click incident rates stubbornly persist with no sign of them fading away any time soon. So, what are we missing? According to Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report, the human element is involved in 62% of breaches.

Your company’s cybersecurity controls may be working exactly as intended. That doesn’t mean your business can continue operating normally.

LevelBlue has been named Editor's Choice for Managed Detection and Response (MDR) in Cyber Defense Magazine's Top InfoSec Innovators awards for 2026. The award was announced on October 20, 2026, during CyberDefenseCon 2026 in Orlando, Florida. It's a recognition we're especially proud of. MDR sits at the heart of what LevelBlue does every day: helping organizations detect threats faster, respond with confidence, and stay one step ahead of attackers.

Validation-only triage misses 46% of critical secrets because they can’t be verified automatically. Here’s how to rank compromised credentials by what they can actually reach, and which leaks need containing the same day.

You run security at your organization. It’s 7:00 am, and you’re having breakfast. You receive a ping: a new critical vulnerability has been disclosed. Your team scrambles to compare vendor advisories, read technical research, check which systems run the affected software, and answer familiar questions from the business: are we affected, and what are we doing about it? Another disclosure arrives before that work is finished.

As organizations deploy increasingly autonomous and interconnected agents, the potential agentic blast radius grows. A single compromised or misaligned agent can trigger a chain of actions spanning credentials, applications, files, and enterprise systems that create consequences extending far beyond its original task. Traditional security approaches weren't designed to understand these behaviors, much less intervene at the speed agents operate. Security teams need more than alerts and investigations.

I am delighted to announce CrowdStrike’s intent to acquire Fiddler at Fal.Con EU 2026. Fiddler, a leader in AI observability, will help ensure enterprise AI agents act as intended with pre-deployment evaluation and continuous behavioral monitoring as part of the CrowdStrike Falcon platform. Every business deploying AI agents asks the same questions: What are our agents doing? Are they staying on task? Are they acting in a way that could put the business at risk?

When Claude Cowork executes code locally, it runs inside an isolated virtual machine on the user's computer. On the host, that VM runs as a single opaque process: The agent's activity inside the VM, including the processes it spawns, the packages it installs, and the network connections it makes, is not visible to the host's endpoint security sensor. Because host folders can be mounted into the VM, sensitive data can sit within the agent's reach.

Fraudsters are exploiting the increased public interest in prediction markets such as PolyMarket and Kalshi, according to researchers at Recorded Future. Criminal groups known as “traffers” are providing fellow crooks with “websites, administrative panels, cryptocurrency payment infrastructure, victim-management capabilities, technical support, and promotional guidance” to target users of prediction markets.

You shipped an app in a weekend. The AI wrote the login, the dashboard, and the database layer, and everything works, but it’s far from safe. With 0 logins, an attacker can forge admin invitations, alter audit logs, and change other users’ passwords. The guy is just swimming freestyle through your entire app stack. This is just one of the 137 vulnerabilities we found in vibe-coding across the top 4 platforms.
