It's Good to Talk: Dialogue and Community are Essential to Global Cybersecurity

The recent World Economic Forum meeting focused on "A Spirit of Dialogue". The conference themes emphasized the role of communication and connection in overcoming challenges and driving prosperity in the years ahead.

Analyzing Dead#Vax: Analyzing Multi-Stage VHD Delivery and Self-Parsing Batch Scripts to Deploy In-Memory Shellcode

Securonix Threat Research has been tracking a stealthy malware campaign that uses an uncommon chain of VHD abuse, script-based execution, self-parsing batch logic, fileless PowerShell injections and ultimately dropping RAT. The attack leverages IPFS-hosted VHD files, extreme script obfuscation, runtime decryption, and in-memory shellcode injection into trusted Windows processes, never dropping a decrypted binary to disk.

Preemptive Security, Governed Autonomy, and the Reality of Modern SOC Operations

Artificial intelligence is now central to every conversation about the future of security operations. Terms like autonomous, agentic, and preemptive are everywhere. Yet much of the discussion skips the harder question CISOs, SOC leaders, and boards actually care about: how AI can be applied responsibly, predictably, and at scale in real-world security operations. If we get this wrong, we do not just risk wasted investment. We risk eroding trust in the SOC itself.

Securonix Threat Labs Monthly Intelligence Insights - December 2025

The Monthly Intelligence Insights report provides a summary of top threats curated, monitored, and analyzed by Securonix Threat Labs in December 2025. The report also includes a synopsis of the threats, indicators of compromise (IoCs), tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), and related tags. Each threat has a comprehensive summary from Threat Labs and search queries from the Threat Research team.

SHADOW#REACTOR - Text-Only Staging, .NET Reactor, and In-Memory Remcos RAT Deployment

The Securonix Threat Research team has analyzed a multi-stage Windows malware campaign tracked as SHADOW#REACTOR. The infection chain follows a tightly orchestrated execution path: an obfuscated VBS launcher executed via wscript.exe invokes a PowerShell downloader, which retrieves fragmented, text-based payloads from a remote host. These fragments are reconstructed into encoded loaders, decoded in memory by a .NET Reactor–protected assembly, and used to fetch and apply a remote Remcos configuration.

Same Mission, Different Mindsets: CISOs and Incident Response Leaders in the Age of AI and Automation

When you work in cybersecurity, whether you're steering the operational team, or in a more strategic role, the mission is the same: protect the business. But when it comes to executing that mission, finding consensus on the best approach can be hard. At this pivotal point in the evolution of cybersecurity, as automation becomes table stakes and AI adoption accelerates, it is important that stakeholders are pulling in the same direction. However, recent ThreatQuotient research highlights real differences in how CISOs and Heads of IR approach the introduction of AI into cybersecurity strategy and practice.

Analyzing PHALT#BLYX: How Fake BSODs and Trusted Build Tools Are Used to Construct a Malware Infection

Securonix threat researchers have been tracking a stealthy campaign targeting the hospitality sector using click-fix social engineering, fake captcha and fake blue screen of death to trick users into pasting malicious code. It leverages a trusted MSBuid.exe tool to bypass defenses and deploys a stealthy, Russian-linked DCRat payload for full remote access and the ability to drop secondary payloads.

Security Shifts in 2026: Risk Moves Beyond the CISO

In 2026, cybersecurity will shift from being seen as the security team's responsibility to being part of how the entire company operates. Every business function will share ownership of risk. Finance, engineering, product, and marketing will all have clear roles in protecting customer trust.

Intel to Action: How Integrated Threat Intelligence Platforms Transform the Modern SOC

Today’s adversaries are fast, distributed, and increasingly coordinated. Yet many SOCs remain reactively trapped in fragmented tools, endless alert queues, and growing pressure from executives to prove not just security, but resilience. It’s no longer enough to collect threat feeds or stand up a threat intel team. What’s needed is integrated intelligence—curated, contextualized, and operationalized—so your team can detect sooner, respond faster, and adapt continuously.
