Software Supply Chain Security for AI Agents and MCP Servers
A deep dive into securing AI agent supply chains — MCP server vetting, dependency integrity, sandboxing, and trust anchors for AI infrastructure.
The Ship Is a Floating OT Network: Maritime Cyber Rules Got Teeth in 2024
Since January 2024, ships manage cyber risk under IMO-derived requirements enforced by flag and port-state control, IACS E26 and E27 give class societies assessment criteria, and the US Coast Guard can detain deficient vessels. Bridge, cargo, propulsion, SATCOM and crew IT share one hull: treat the vessel as an OT estate.
The Cyber Resilience Act: Security Is the Product Now
From 2027 connected products without CRA-backed security lose the CE mark and the EU market. EN 303 645 already draws the floor: no default passwords, disclosure policy, update transparency. The real work is turning security into a documented lifecycle — threat models, SBOMs, tested updates — instead of a checkbox before the ceremony.
MCP Security: Threat Model and Hardening Guide for Model Context Protocol
MCP is not one trust boundary - it is four: transport, tool, data and agent. This guide maps the Model Context Protocol attack surface and gives a hardening checklist for every layer, from stdio server credentials to tool-description review.
AI Agent Identity and Least Privilege: The Three-Layer Model
Master the three-layer model for AI agent identity: cryptographic identity, capability permissions, and runtime least privilege for autonomous AI systems.
No Malware Needed: How Attackers Turn Your Own Admin Tools Against You
PowerShell, WMI, scheduled tasks, certutil: signed by the OS vendor, whitelisted by AV, trusted by EDR. Living-off-the-land attacks drop no malware, so detection cannot hinge on unknown binaries. The shift from artifact blacklists to execution-baseline analytics that actually catches native-tool chains.
NIS2 Is Not Just for Banks: The Compliance Clock
Food plants, logistics firms, waste management, research labs: 18 sectors are in scope, plus everyone their covered customers drag in via contracts. The duties read like an incident-readiness program — 24-hour early warning, 72-hour notification, personal accountability for executives — and the basics were overdue anyway.
One Leaked Secret, Your Entire Multi-Cloud
Toyota left one access key on GitHub for five years. This is the full chain: where cloud secrets leak, how attackers turn a found key into root, and the architecture that survives a leak they cannot prevent.
Building Cybersecurity AI Agents with CAI
Discover CAI (Cybersecurity AI Framework), the open-source toolkit revolutionizing bug bounties and CTF competitions with autonomous AI agents.
HTTP Request Smuggling: One Request, Two Interpretations
Your front end and your back end disagree about where one request ends and the next begins. The smuggled prefix slides under the WAF, defeats the rate limiter, and poisons the cache under someone else else URL. How CL-TE and TE-CL desyncs work, and the configuration discipline that closes them.
AI and Mental Health: Technology Meets Human Healing
AI and Mental Health: Technology Meets Human Healing
AI is transforming mental health support through chatbots, mood trackers, and diagnostic tools. But can technology replace human empathy? This guide explores the real impact of AI on mental healthcare, from clinical applications to ethical concerns about privacy and human connection.
The AI Agent Authority Gap: Why Your IAM System Is Not Ready
Your IAM system answers 'who has access' — AI agents ask 'what will this identity do next.' The authority gap, three real attack scenarios, and a four-layer framework to close it.
