A quick check for CISOs and IT leaders: When was the last time your security strategy was tested under realistic conditions? Not just scanned. Not just reviewed. But assessed across people, processes, and detection capabilities—reflecting how real-world threats actually unfold. Most breaches don’t stem from a lack of tools, but from untested assumptions. Offensive security helps identify blind spots before adversaries can exploit them.

🚨 New Cyber Espionage Alert: Nimbus Manticore Is on the Move 🚨 A highly sophisticated threat actor named Nimbus Manticore is targeting aerospace, defense & telecom firms across Europe, using spear phishing, DLL sideloading, and stealthy techniques to exfiltrate sensitive data. Seceon Inc This campaign highlights how advanced persistent threats (APTs) are evolving - traditional defenses alone aren’t enough. 🔍 What to watch out for: Phishing emails disguised as recruiters or trusted contacts. Malware hidden in “legitimate” files. Use of signed applications to bypass endpoint security. Credential theft & data theft deep inside networks. At Seceon Inc., we combine behavioral analytics, Zero Trust, SOAR automation, and phishing protection in one unified platform to detect and neutralize threats like Nimbus Manticore before they escalate. 📖 Read the full analysis → https://lnkd.in/dCWmezkz #CyberSecurity #ThreatIntel #APT #ZeroTrust #SOAR #Seceon #Infosec #CyberEspionage #SecurityOps

Agentic applications introduce fundamentally different security challenges than traditional software. They operate across agents, tools, and models in ways that demand a new architectural approach. The newly released Chapter 6 of the tech guide from O'Reilly and Dataiku explores how an LLM Mesh enforces enterprise-grade security through federated identity, fine-grained access, secure gateways, and system-wide auditability. If you're building or scaling agentic applications, this is your blueprint for secure, production-ready AI. Read the chapter: https://bit.ly/45elEHj

🚨Invariant Labs has uncovered "Toxic Flows," a novel class of vulnerabilities that expose agentic AI systems to prompt injection and MCP-based exploits. To help developers stay ahead, we’re introducing the Toxic Flow Analysis (TFA) framework and the MCP-scan tool, the industry’s first approach to systematically detect and mitigate these emerging AI security threats before they happen. As AI agents become more dynamic and autonomous, traditional security tools fall short. TFA represents a paradigm shift, helping developers analyze how sensitive data flows through an AI system, and where things can go dangerously wrong. Dive deeper into TFA and try out MCP-scan in our latest blog: https://bit.ly/4lTnRPK
