This month, we sit down with Sam McLane, Chief Technology Services Officer and one of Arctic Wolf's original team members, as he reflects on the company's journey from six employees to more than 3,500 worldwide. Sam shares lessons learned from nearly 15 years of building Arctic Wolf, why relationships have been at the heart of his career success, how he thinks about leadership, innovation, and staying ahead in the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape, and so much more!

Two days. Hundreds of security leaders. Countless conversations about what's next in AI and cybersecurity. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2026 Security Operations Summit. From discussions on AI-driven security operations and cyber resilience to insights from industry leaders, the event was packed with ideas, innovation, and real-world expertise. We're especially grateful to our customers, partners, speakers, Cyber Resilience Leadership Award winners, and sponsors for making this year's event such a success.

AI hallucinations are outputs that sound accurate and authoritative but are false or invented. This Arctic Wolf video explains what AI hallucinations are, why they happen, and what they mean for cybersecurity. They happen because of incomplete data, data bias, lack of context, and processing complexity. AI predicts from patterns and doesn’t check its answers against reality. In security, the consequences include hallucinated threat assessments, incorrect remediation recommendations, fabricated indicators of compromise, wasted time, and increased risk.

PHP2Shell is two unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) flaws with public exploit code. As AI speeds up the path from vulnerability to exploit, security leaders keep asking two questions. Are we exposed? And what do we fix first? This walkthrough shows how Aurora Vulnerability Management from Arctic Wolf answers both.

Six minutes from first alert to a contained hands-on-keyboard attack. Watch how Arctic Wolf's Aurora Agentic SOC and a human analyst teamed up to isolate the host using Active Response. Learn more at arcticwolf.com.

Meet the Aurora Agentic SOC and the Swarm of Experts. Powered by a large team of specialized AI agents, the Aurora Agentic SOC coordinates investigation, response, and continuous learning at machine speed while bringing human analysts into the process when additional expertise, validation, or judgment is required.

In this explainer from Arctic Wolf's Peter Ingebrigtsen, we break down what the PHP2Shell vulnerabilities are, how attackers are exploiting them, and the steps organizations should take now to reduce exposure. Arctic Wolf customers can use Aurora Exposure Management to identify affected assets and prioritize remediation, while the Aurora Agentic SOC helps detect and respond to post-exploitation activity such as webshell deployment, unauthorized command execution, persistence, and lateral movement.
