Is AI really new-or just automation with better branding?

“AI is just automation by a different name.” It’s a bold claim—but one that Brandon Heller, CTO and co-founder of Forward Networks, and Howard Holton, CEO of GigaOm, unpack in a way that will make you think. In their recent conversation on Discovering Disruptions in Tech, they make the case that artificial intelligence, especially generative AI, is not delivering brand-new capabilities.

Emergency Fiber Repairs: Keeping Your Business Online After an Accidental Cut

A sudden network outage caused by a damaged fiber optic line can create chaos across an entire operation, and the need for swift action becomes critical. In the middle of this disruption, having a trusted team like C3 Communications available to respond can make the difference between a minor inconvenience and a full-scale crisis. Fiber optic networks carry massive volumes of data at remarkable speeds, supporting everything from cloud-based systems to real-time communication tools.

When Firewalls Age Out: What the Akira Attack Can Teach Us About Lifecycle Security

Cyberattacks evolve faster than aging infrastructure can keep up, and expired hardware is one of the biggest blind spots organizations face today. The recent Akira ransomware campaign targeting SonicWall VPNs is a powerful reminder of what happens when devices slip out of support.

Intrusion-Detection ML Pipeline: Hiring Python Data Engineers and Security Analysts

Modern cyber threats evolve rapidly, often evading traditional defenses, so organizations are adopting machine learning (ML)-driven intrusion detection systems (IDS) that learn normal network patterns and flag anomalies in real-time.

Prevent Network Outages from Uncommitted Configs Using NQE

Cisco devices don’t warn you before rebooting with unsaved changes. A missed write memory means the running config is lost—and the device reloads with an outdated startup config. That’s how critical updates disappear, outages happen, and incidents get escalated. Manually checking for this drift across hundreds or thousands of devices is tedious and error-prone.

The Network Detection & Response (NDR) platform trusted by top cybersecurity teams

Proven in the world’s most demanding environments, Corelight’s Open NDR Platform illuminates network blind spots and uncovers hidden threats to disrupt attacks before they escalate. Get unified visibility, multi-layered AI-driven threat detections, AI-powered triage workflows, and industry-leading forensic capabilities in one unified platform. Elite defense, now within reach of the enterprise.

How Does Fidelis NDR Use Machine Learning to Detect Threats Earlier and Respond Faster?

You face more signals than your SOC can triage and more lateral movement than your legacy rules can see. Signature-only controls miss new techniques, while manual triage slows response. The gap between “alert created” and “incident contained” widens when you can’t separate real risk from noise. Adversaries exploit encrypted channels, low-and-slow exfiltration, and living-off-the-land tools that look like normal activity. Missed weak signals become major incidents.

Palo Alto Networks Acknowledges SquareX Research on Limitations of SWGs Against Last Mile Reassembly Attacks

SquareX first discovered and disclosed Last Mile Reassembly attacks at DEF CON 32 last year, warning the security community of 20+ attacks that allow attackers to bypass all major SASE/SSE solutions and smuggle malware through the browser. Despite responsible disclosures to all major SASE/SSE providers, no vendor has made an official statement to warn its customers about the vulnerability in the past 13 months - until two weeks ago.

What does your firewall see that your EDR doesn't? Lessons from recent cyberattacks

The APT group known as Librarian Ghouls has managed to infiltrate the networks of technical universities and industrial companies in Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan without arousing suspicion. How did the gang get inside? By using legitimate logins and moving laterally through internal networks, relying on legitimate access credentials without generating alerts.

WAF Bypass Explained - Risks, Examples, and Prevention

Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and Web Application & API Protection (WAAP) platforms are designed to stop attacks before they reach your applications. Yet many organizations fall into a dangerous comfort zone. They deploy a WAF, leave it in monitor mode for months, or configure environments in ways that allow attackers to bypass the WAF entirely and reach origin servers directly.
