What should security leaders do with AI? They don’t know. Aug 19, 2026 1755 Cybersecurity leaders are flush with cash—earmarked for AI, mind you—and eager to spend it. What they don’t have is a plan for how. This week on Security Intelligence, Claire Nuñez, Curtis Pitts and Dave Bales join host Matt Kosinski to talk about why so many security teams are experience AI decision fatigue—and what to do about it. Then, we discuss Tenet Security’s DEFCON presentation on ghostja
The OWASP LLM Top 10 has a few surprises for you
The OWASP LLM Top 10 has a few surprises for you Aug 12, 2026 1745 What’s the biggest, baddest, most unruly problem in AI security? Turns out that depends on whether you’re asking practitioners or looking at incident data. In this episode of IBM Security Intelligence, we break down the OWASP LLM Top 10 for 2026, which took the unusual step of using both community votes and incident databases to inform its rankings. There are some interesting gaps—the data says m
Oh look. Anthropic’s AI models also broke containment.
Oh look. Anthropic’s AI models also broke containment. Aug 5, 2026 2071 Last week, OpenAI’s models broke out of their sandboxes to cause chaos. This week, it’s Anthropic’s turn. On this episode of Security Intelligence, Diego Matos Martins, Kimmie Farrington and Jeff Crume join host Matt Kosinski to discuss the results of Anthropic’s internal review of testing procedures following the Hugging Face incident last month. Anthropic uncovered three instances of Claude mod

Your data breach plan is missing something major: people. Jul 31, 2026 1260 When a cyberattack hits, your security team knows exactly what to do. What about everyone else? In this episode of Security Intelligence, Limor Kessem, X-Force Cyber Crisis Management Global Lead, explores the side of breach response that most organizations forget: the human side. From employees posting ransom notes on Facebook to well-meaning staffers accidentally paying ransoms to sanctioned ent

The Cost of a Data Breach 2026, and what we can learn from the Hugging Face hack Jul 29, 2026 1928 We’re in an AI arms race, and the bad guys might be winning. On this episode of Security Intelligence, Suja Viswesan, Dave McGinnis and Jeff Crume join host Matt Kosinski to dig into IBM’s 2026 Cost of a Data Breach report. This year’s findings suggest that attackers are weaponizing AI faster than defenders can deploy it, leading to some very troubling capability gaps. But it’s not all doom and gl
GPT-Red: Can AI red teams stop prompt injections?
GPT-Red: Can AI red teams stop prompt injections? Jul 22, 2026 1890 Cybersecurity researchers have had a heck of a time trying to stop prompt injections. Maybe we should just let the AI handle the problem itself. This week on Security Intelligence, Michelle Alvarez, Nick Bradley and Kimmie Farrington join host Matt Kosinski to discuss OpenAI's GPT-Red, the internal red-teaming tool that helped make GPT-5.6 Sol the company’s most cyber resilient model yet. Then: S

GLM-5.2: The real security risk? Plus: Vibe hunting, the end of CVSS and updates on Lightwell Jul 15, 2026 2106 Z.ai’s GLM-5.2 is, according to some, as good at finding vulnerabilities as Mythos. Or at least, close to it. And it’s open weight. On this episode of Security Intelligence, we dig into how powerful, open AI models are bringing frontier-style capabilities to more people, all while the proprietary models are emphasizing safeguards. What does it mean for cybersecurity pros? Security emergency,

Patch management is dead. Here’s what’s taking it place
Patch management is dead. Here’s what’s taking it place Jun 26, 2026 1327 Patch management, as most organizations practice it, is fundamentally broken. It treats what should be a strategic, risk-informed decision as a checkbox item. And checkboxes don't get done. The fix isn't better patching. It's exposure management: a risk-based approach that connects your vulnerabilities to your business context, your attack surface and the real-world threat landscape. In this episo
