Kevin Mandia on AI-Powered Attacks: The Race Just Got Faster | Black Hat | Reach Security

At Black Hat last year, we sat down with Kevin Mandia to talk about what's coming. His take: offense is going to accelerate with AI. Not slow down. Not plateau. Accelerate. When you've run more red teams than practically anyone on the planet, the pattern is clear. Getting into a victim network is already a race. AI compresses those time frames further. The attack surface isn't changing. Misconfigurations, things that slipped, controls that were on and got turned off. The entry point stays the same. AI just makes the race to exploit it faster.

The Agentic Security Graph: Get Visibility into your AI Security Risks

As enterprises shift from conversational to agentic AI, the real risk moves from model outputs to the action layer; the MCP servers and APIs through which agents execute real-world tasks. The Agentic Security Graph frames this risk across three interconnected layers (LLM, MCP servers, APIs), showing how compromises at any layer can propagate and why existing LLM-focused controls leave the most consequential surface unmonitored.

Security Tools Don't Fail. Adoption Does: Why Developers Ignore Them

81% of development teams knowingly ship code with vulnerabilities. That number gets quoted a lot. Usually to make a point about how developers don't take security seriously. Here's a different reading: most of those developers knew the vulnerability was there. They just couldn't do anything about it in time. That's not apathy. That's a system failure. Feature deadlines are usually less flexible than security work.

Warning: Phishing Attacks Are Abusing the Kuse AI App

Attackers are abusing the storage and sharing features of Kuse, a free AI app, to assist in phishing campaigns, according to researchers at Trend Micro. Kuse is a legitimate agentic AI platform used by employees to streamline workflows. Users can share files with coworkers, which generates a link hosted by Kuse’s domain. In this case, attackers are abusing the share feature to generate legitimate-looking phishing links.

OpenAI's Fotis Chantzis on why identity protocols weren't designed for agents

Zero-Shot Learning is a podcast for AI builders, hosted by Nancy Wang, Chief Technology Officer at 1Password, and Dev Tagare, Senior Director and Head of Engineering for Gemini Enterprise & Business at Google. Together, they’ve built and scaled AI systems at the infrastructure and product layers and bring a builder's perspective to every conversation.

When humans are a minority, IAM requires a rethink

In a typical enterprise, non-human identities (NHIs) are thought to outnumber human users by at least 50:1. NHIs are various and include: It is estimated that the NHI: human ratio may have leapt to 144:1 as more AI agents were deployed over the last year. CISOs are already alive to the risks posed by orphaned accounts on their systems. They know that automated rotation is required to revoke privileges as soon as NHIs complete tasks.

Grid by LimaCharlie is now in beta: Agentic SecOps for the stack you have

Grid is LimaCharlie's agentic AI layer for security teams that want AI operations running across their existing stack right now. Security providers and SOCs need access to AI capabilities without waiting for a migration window, a contract renewal, or a vendor to ship the features they need. Every major security vendor is offering some version of AI. CrowdStrike has Charlotte AI. SentinelOne has Purple AI. Microsoft has Copilot for Security.

Agents need boundaries with Fotis Chantzis from OpenAI, Zero-Shot Learning

Agents need boundaries | Fotis Chantzis from OpenAI Agents don't fit old identity models. As OpenAI’s Agent Security Lead, Fotis Chantzis has a front-row seat to see how agents push identity systems beyond what they were built to control. That’s where things start to fall apart and where most teams lose control.

Why Legacy DLP Fails Against Agentic AI

Security teams that deployed legacy DLP years ago built something real. The rules fire. The alerts go out. Compliance boxes get checked. The problem is not that those programs stopped working. It is that the threat moved, and the architecture did not. Agentic AI has introduced a class of data movement that legacy DLP was never designed to govern: autonomous, continuous, multi-step, and operating at machine speed across systems that static rules cannot enumerate in advance.
