A legitimate sender does not mean legitimate content. Attackers have abused legitimate services such as DocuSign, SharePoint, Adobe Sign, Dropbox and Google Drive to exploit that trust for years. KnowBe4's Phishing Threat Trends Report Vol. 7, released April 2026, flagged this shift at the industry level: 22% of all phishing attacks are now sent through a legitimate platform, with attackers moving from impersonating a brand to abusing that brand's actual infrastructure.

When I got back from Black Hat USA, I was stunned. Of course, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by Black Hat. There is so much going on. Las Vegas casinos are loud and flashy.

AI agents are moving beyond the browser and into the desktop applications professionals use every day. Egnyte is excited to announce a new collaboration with Microsoft to bring Egnyte AI to Windows 11 through Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC), enabling AI agents to work directly alongside desktop applications while operating within enterprise security boundaries.

An AI agent runs with your credentials and acts before you can stop it. Nine incidents show what that costs. Six controls limit the damage: sandbox the agent, scope its credentials, lock its configuration, log every call, scan the workspace first, and deny by default.

SOC metrics are quantifiable measures of how well a security operations center detects, investigates, and contains threats. The metrics that matter most are mean time to detect (MTTD), mean time to respond (MTTR), and incident closure rate, because together they show speed, effectiveness, and reliability, not just activity.

Service accounts, app integrations, and AI agents often have more access than any person, and they get reviewed last. That gives them one of the largest blast radiuses in the environment, meaning they can reach more if they're compromised. The Uber and Cloudflare breaches and the Salesloft Drift campaign against Salesforce customers show how attackers exploit these accounts. Check them for open, stale, orphaned, and privileged access, then cut access back to what they really use.
