Dangling DNA: The Most Overlooked Attack Surface In The AI Era

Vol 334 · Issue 2 · 2026-01-16

Today's organizations are focused on securing large language models (LLMs), mitigating prompt injection, and governing agentic browser behavior. But one of the most consequential artificial intelligence (AI)-era attack vectors is not directly related to AI models - it sits quietly inside your Domain Name System (DNS).

AI Explainer: What Is Model Context Protocol?

Vol 332 · Issue 1 · 2025-11-06

There is a good chance you might have heard the term Model Context Protocol, or MCP, in the context of AI systems recently. But we're finding that many developers haven't had the time to learn about what it does or how it fits into agentic workflows. This blog post provides an introduction into what MCP is and how it can be useful.

How to Prevent Command Injection and SQL Injection Attacks over MCP

Vol 331 · Issue 3 · 2025-10-15

Agentic AI systems rely on fast and reliable communication channels to more natively coordinate and execute tasks among different agents, apps, and services. Efficient communication with external tools is a core tenet of any AI technology, which is what led to the now standard Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Protect Critical Infrastructure: Cybersecurity Strategies for Governments

Vol 329 · Issue 4 · 2025-08-27

It only takes one click, one misconfigured port, or one forgotten patch - and, suddenly, 911 dispatch is offline, water treatment operations grind to a halt, or a regional airport is paralyzed. For state and local governments, protecting critical infrastructure is no longer just an IT issue, it's a matter of public safety, economic stability, and trust.

These 4 Threats to AI Applications Require New Cybersecurity Strategies

Vol 329 · Issue 4 · 2025-08-25

Large language models (LLMs) and AI applications are revolutionizing how enterprises operate and innovate - from AI-powered chatbots in customer service to agentic AI systems that make autonomous decisions. But with that transformation comes a new set of vulnerabilities and a significantly expanded attack surface that traditional cybersecurity solutions alone aren't designed to handle.

Stop LLM Attacks: How Security Helps AI Apps Achieve Their ROI

Vol 329 · Issue 3 · 2025-08-21

The fast pace of innovation often puts business teams and security teams at a communication disadvantage. It's a tale as old as time: Line-of-business speaks in the language of user experience (UX), product roadmaps, and deadlines; enterprise security speaks of risks, threats, and attack signals. Tension rises as both sides push for what's important in their worlds - and often miss common ground.
