Securing Agentic AI Workflows in n8n: From Leaked API Keys to Encryption Key Compromise

A leaked n8n API key is only the start. GitGuardian's research traces the full chain, from exposed tokens and weak keys to CVE-2026-25053 and the N8N_ENCRYPTION_KEY that protects every stored credential, then lays out a hardened configuration to break it.

Your Scanners See a Different Internet Than Your Users Do

A few years ago, cloaking was mostly a black hat SEO problem. Someone would serve one version of a page to Googlebot and another to human visitors, and the worst outcome was a spammy search result. It has since become one of the more effective evasion techniques in the phishing and malvertising toolkit, and most security teams are still measuring their external exposure from a vantage point that attackers stopped caring about some time ago.

6 Administrative Tasks Every Personal Injury Law Firm Can Automate With AI in 2026

Personal injury law firms spend a significant amount of time on administrative work that supports-but does not replace-legal expertise. Reviewing medical records, preparing demand letters, drafting litigation documents, organizing case files, summarizing evidence, and communicating with clients are all essential parts of managing a case, yet they can consume valuable hours every week.

Shadow AI Is the New Shadow IT: Getting Visibility Into the Models Your Teams Already Use

Security teams spent a decade wrestling shadow IT - the unsanctioned SaaS accounts, personal Dropboxes, and rogue cloud instances that employees adopted faster than governance could follow. That battle produced hard-won playbooks: discover, broker, monitor. Now the same movie is replaying with AI, at higher speed and with higher stakes. Developers embed model APIs into services over a lunch break, marketing teams paste customer data into chatbots, and product features quietly ship with third-party inference behind them. Most organizations today cannot answer a basic question.

Why Traditional Security Monitoring Is No Longer Enough in 2026

Cybersecurity has become significantly more complex over the past few years. Attackers no longer rely solely on mass phishing campaigns or simple malware. Modern threat actors use automation, artificial intelligence, credential theft, living-off-the-land techniques, and multi-stage attacks designed to evade traditional security controls. As a result, organizations that still depend on conventional monitoring tools often struggle to detect and contain threats before damage occurs.

Secure Agent Harness Execution: Preventing Escape

At CrowdStrike, we conduct extensive red-team testing of agentic systems using diverse models, tools, and adversarial evaluation harnesses designed to probe for containment failures. To date, none of our offensive agents have escaped their intended sandbox boundaries.

How to Prevent Insider Threats Without Hurting Productivity

Security teams that tighten insider threat controls usually hear about it fast, and not from attackers. Sales reps complain they cannot share a deck with a prospect. Engineers say a blocked upload cost them an afternoon. The business assumes that stopping data loss and staying productive are opposing goals, and every blanket policy that blocks first and asks questions later reinforces that assumption. They do not have to be opposing goals.

Modern Authentication for Legacy Applications Explained

Your ERP system doesn't know what a SAML assertion is. Neither does that 15-year-old internal tool running your warehouse floor. But your identity team just rolled out Microsoft Entra ID with conditional access, MFA, and zero trust policies everywhere. That gap is what modern authentication for legacy applications closes.

Smart Card Authentication: A Complete Guide To Secure Enterprise Access

If you're evaluating multi-factor authentication for a bank, a hospital network, a defense contractor, or a government agency, you've probably already run into smart card authentication. It's the method behind the CAC (Common Access Card) and PIV (Personal Identity Verification) cards federal employees badge in with every day. It's also becoming the default authentication method that regulated industries reach for, once passwords and OTP codes stop being good enough.

Mini Shai-Hulud Hits keyv: Trojanized Release Exfiltrates CI Secrets via GitHub

On August 4, 2026, a malicious version of keyv was published to npm as keyv@6.0.0, one of a number of npm packages affected across the Keyv and Cacheable ecosystem. The release follows the Mini Shai-Hulud pattern: a trojanized version of a heavily depended-on package, with an install-time hook that reaches cloud and CI credentials. It leaves the compiled library untouched and instead adds a preinstall hook and two files.
