AI Session Recording Summaries for SSH, Kubernetes Exec, and Postgres

Sep 24, 2025 By Ben Arent In Teleport
Since Teleport 1.0, we have shipped built-in session recording and replay. Nine years later, we are shipping the biggest upgrade yet: AI Session Summaries. Teams using Teleport onboard thousands of engineers (developers, DBAs, Windows users) who run thousands of interactive sessions every day. That easily adds up to 5,000+ hours of recordings per month, which is too much for humans to review proactively.

Scaling Vector Databases With Novel Partitioning Methodologies

Aug 1, 2025 By Arctic Wolf In Arctic Wolf
Imagine: A newly acquired dataset is being prepared for use as a vector database to retrieve information, create recommendation systems, be used for threat detection or similarity-based alert triage. During integration, however, operational challenges surface. Platform constraints prevent full-scale ingestion, prompting an arbitrary reduction in the size of the dataset. As a result, performance degrades significantly.

The Attack Vector: Database Triggers as Persistence Mechanisms

Jun 24, 2025 By Trustwave In Trustwave
Organizations often assume that restoring a backup to a patched environment eliminates threats. However, backups encapsulate both data and schema objects, including triggers. A compromised backup, often taken after an initial breach, may contain hidden triggers that reactivate the attacker’s access upon restore. This post explores how malicious triggers in compromised backups can serve as persistence mechanisms for attackers and how to mitigate this threat.
