AI Is Shrinking the Defender's Window, and the Clock Is the New Battlefield
A webinar promo becomes a useful warning: when attackers can draft bait, test reactions, and pivot faster, the real question is whether SOCs can isolate systems before the first alert ages out.
AI Security Is Turning Into a Permissions War
The real risk is not the model alone, but the growing web of tools, suppliers, and identities that AI can touch when access is too broad or too hard to audit.
