The Paris-based company said it had monitored cybersecurity-related use of the preview in live traffic. “Though we observed…
- Oct 30, 2026The first hours after a serious cyber incident are filled with activity. Security starts investigating, IT works to contain the impact, legal begins assessing potential obligations, and executives want to know what happened and what the company is doing about it.

- Oct 30, 2026Something shifted in offensive security over the last eighteen months that most organizations haven’t fully absorbed yet. It isn’t that attackers got smarter. It’s that the economics of attack changed entirely — and those of us who run red teams have had a front-row seat to the transformation. The conversation about AI in cybersecurity tends to fixate on defense: better anomaly detection, faster triage, and AI-assisted SOC analysts. That framing misses…
