When AI Agents Start “Moving Like Attackers”
A real-world wake-up call from a SOC lab experiment Executive Summary To safely evaluate autonomous SOC investigation agents, we built a controlled AWS-based lab environment that closely resembles a modern security operations ecosystem. We wanted to test how aggressive an AI agent would be when trying to complete a task. Would it fail at the […]
Navigating Generative AI and Healthcare Cybersecurity
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems capable of performing tasks that historically required human intelligence. Generative AI, conversely, can be understood as the “actionable” aspect of AI, where new data can be created to understand and generate human responses rather than using Large Language Models (LLM) to analyze existing data. Think of generative AI […]
The Risk and Rewards of Quantum Computing in Healthcare
Healthcare organizations depend on strong cryptographic technologies to secure data. As quantum technologies rapidly advance, concerns are growing about the threats quantum computing poses to widely used encryption methods. If you’re concerned about—or even unaware of— the issues surrounding quantum computing, this post will explore the potential threats to your healthcare organization and the strategies […]
AI Regulation in the US and Beyond: What You Need to Know
In an extremely rare event, on May 16, 2023, industry leaders appeared before congress to plead for regulation. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee seeking to work with the federal government to create parameters for AI creators to ensure the tool would not cause “significant harm to the world.” Altman […]
AI Governance: The Only Realistic Solution to Shadow AI
You’ve likely heard it from your executives, in the forums, and even from television ads. With AI products like ChatGPT and Claude advancing in leaps and bounds, people in all fields should take advantage of AI’s productivity-boosting capabilities. And many in the healthcare industry are.

Capabilities of New AI Models Are Arguments for Transitioning to Unified Cybersecurity Platforms
CyberScoop recently wrote about research on the impact of Anthropic’s “Mythos” AI model, which has received significant attention for its ability to identify vulnerabilities and custom-build exploits. The report stated that “in the near term, security organizations will likely be overwhelmed by the need to apply patches and respond to AI-discovered vulnerabilities, exploits and autonomous […]
