Shadow AI Is Not Shadow IT With a Better Marketing Budget

Jul 1, 2026 By Javvad Malik In KnowBe4
I saw a venn diagram on social media. One circle is Shadow IT, one circle is Shadow AI, a substantial overlap, and the implicit message is that they are effectively the same challenge. They aren’t and that the assumption can lead to many problems. Looking back, shadow IT was like watching a crash in slow-motion. Employees using technology IT hadn't sanctioned. Personal Dropbox accounts. Unofficial Slack workspaces.

Mastering Data Exfiltration Prevention in 2026

Jul 1, 2026 By cesmng In UTMStack
A lot of security programs still treat data exfiltration as a downstream consequence of compromise. That framing is too narrow. The global average cost of a breach reached $4.44 million in 2025 according to Varonis's summary of 2025 data breach statistics, and that cost lands on operations, legal, compliance, and executive credibility, not just the SOC.

Veil#Drop: Blogspot-Hosted PowerShell Loader

Jul 1, 2026 By Akshay Gaikwad, Shikha Sangwan, Aaron Beardslee In Securonix
Veil#Drop is a sophisticated multi-stage malware delivery framework that combines social engineering, compromised websites, malicious JavaScript launchers, PowerShell download cradles, and trusted cloud-hosted infrastructure to deploy PureLog Stealer entirely in memory. The infection chain begins with a deceptively named JavaScript file masquerading as a document (e.g., transcript.pdf.js), which executes through Windows Script Host and launches PowerShell with execution policy bypasses enabled.

But as data becomes increasingly distributed and AI agents begin operating autonomously across organizations, applications, and networks, those assumptions are being tested in new ways.

Reflectiz to Host Webinar, Joined by Taboola, on Securing Third-Party Marketing in the AI Era

Jun 30, 2026 By Reflectiz
Reflectiz, the web exposure management platform, today announced a live webinar with Taboola, "Securing Third-Party Marketing in the AI Era," taking place July 8 at 9 AM EDT / 3 PM CEST. Every marketing vendor a company approves can silently introduce third and fourth-party scripts that no security team ever reviewed. In the AI era, that invisible layer is expanding faster than point-in-time audits can track. The gap between what an organization approves and what actually executes on its site is where data leakage, regulatory exposure, and compliance failures happen.
