Cato CTRL Threat Research: When OpenClaw, Your AI Personal Assistant, Becomes the Backdoor

Cato CTRL’s Vitaly Simonovich (senior security researcher) has identified a threat actor selling root shell access to a UK-based automation company through a compromised AI personal assistant based on OpenClaw.

Introducing Forescout VistaroAI | The First SkillsBased Agentic AI for Cybersecurity

Meet Forescout VistaroAI, the first skills‑based agentic AI for cybersecurity. Forescout VistaroAI I thinks like a security expert, not a chatbot. It uses cybersecurity‑specific, preprogrammed skills to analyze anomalies, interpret posture changes, and automatically highlight affected assets. It eliminates the need for prompt engineering, providing role-based automation with human-in-the-loop control. The result is faster, more accurate decisions, and clearer starting points for real investigations.

Beyond Access: How Cato Measures and Manages User Risk in Real Time

On a quiet Tuesday morning, Jerry, a fictional system administrator, logged in as usual. While testing a new integration script, he visited a documentation page on an unfamiliar domain. It looked harmless and loaded without issue, but behind the scenes, Jerry’s laptop began making a series of small outbound requests to several low-reputation domains. None of these connections were malicious enough to be blocked, yet the pattern resembled early-stage domain-flux activity.

Why Every Website Should Use an IP-Based Address Geolocation Feature

Ten years ago, "Where is this visitor coming from?" was mostly a nice-to-have curiosity. In 2026, it sits at the heart of how we design conversion paths, keep pages fast, and stay compliant with regional rules like GDPR and the California Privacy Rights Act. Walk into any stand-up with a growth team and you'll hear questions about localized pricing, language toggles, and which promotions should fire for which markets. All three depend on knowing a user's location in real time. IP-based address geolocation answers that question with almost zero friction, so it remains the most widely adopted location signal on the web.

What Technology Investments Offer the Best ROI for Small Enterprises?

Let me save you some time and a lot of cash. Most small business tech investments are a complete waste of money. You buy a shiny new software suite because a slick sales rep promised it would revolutionize your workflow. Six months later? Your team is still doing things the exact same way. Only now you have a $500 monthly subscription bleeding your accounts dry.

The Network Blind Spot Adversaries Exploit

Did you know there may be a blind spot in your network right now? Firewalls, routers, and edge devices often generate minimal logs by default, creating visibility gaps that adversaries can exploit. In this breakdown, we examine how a China-nexus threat group known as Operator Panda leveraged vulnerable network devices to gain access, establish persistence, and remain undetected even after patches were applied.

Scaling Operations Using IPv6 Proxies

Complex systems need effective networking to manage them. The problem of IP exhaustion is common among engineers who are implementing large-scale testing environments. How do you scale up public data collection without depleting your address pool? The answer lies in IPv6 proxies. They offer huge allocation areas of operations. This change allows for effective validation and data aggregation.

Data-driven forecasting: Plan your network growth and optimize resource usage with DDI Central's DNS and DHCP forecasting

DNS and DHCP services in an organization’s network experience constant fluctuations in query spikes, lease requests, and client connections over time. Network administrators must continuously monitor these patterns to ensure service stability and availability. However, in fast-paced and growing networks, a proactive approach is far more effective than a reactive one. This allows teams to identify and resolve service-related issues before they lead to network disruptions or IP exhaustion.
