The group will deliver a main stage keynote on securing enterprises with AI agents, plus two workshops focused on integrating AI into security operations and monitoring autonomous systems as potential insider threats. Talos threat intelligence is embedded across the Cisco security portfolio and will be showcased at booth 2633.</description><pubDate>Thu, 23 Jul 2026 10:00:14 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Early Attack Warning Signals for AI and Agentic Security</title><link>https://silentpush.com/blog/early-attack-warning-signals</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cst-2715</guid><description>Silent Push released version 6.0 of its Context Graph platform with a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates early attack warning intelligence directly into AI-assisted security workflows and existing tools like Claude, Splunk, and Palo Alto XSOAR. The platform maps adversary infrastructure across DNS, WHOIS, certificate, and hosting data to surface Indicators of Future Attack (IOFA) weeks before campaigns launch, addressing the gap where traditional detection relies on stale Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) that appear only after attacks are underway. The integration eliminates context switching by allowing threat analysts to query infrastructure intelligence in plain language within tools they already use.</description><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2026 14:49:17 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Splunk, Zoom Patch Critical Vulnerabilities</title><link>https://securityweek.com/splunk-zoom-patch-critical-vulnerabilities</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cst-2681</guid><description>Splunk and Zoom released patches for critical vulnerabilities that could enable attackers to obtain credentials, access data, take over user accounts, and elevate privileges.</description><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2026 10:54:34 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Integrations of the Month</title><link>https://silentpush.com/blog/integrations-of-the-month-july-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cst-643</guid><description>Silent Push announced three new integrations designed to incorporate preemptive threat data into existing security tools: Splunk SIEM/SOAR for automatic enrichment during log ingestion, Tines for building automated workflows without code, and an ITSM integration for incident response context. The integrations focus on making Indicators of Future Attack (IOFAs) actionable within existing security stacks rather than requiring separate consoles or manual analysis steps.</description><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 12:53:46 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Why Use App-Level Auth When Every Database Has Auth? (Splunk Enterprise CVE-2026-20253 Pre-Auth RCE)</title><link>https://labs.watchtowr.com/why-use-app-level-auth-when-every-database-has-auth-splunk-enterprise-cve-2026-20253-pre-auth-rce</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cst-557</guid><description>Splunk published CVE-2026-20253, a pre-authentication remote code execution vulnerability in the PostgreSQL Sidecar Service with a CVSS score of 9.8. The vulnerability affects Splunk Enterprise version 10 and above, with Splunk Enterprise on AWS being vulnerable by default, while on-premises Windows installations require the sidecar to be explicitly enabled. The researchers analyzed the vulnerable service listening on local ports and confirmed the exposure in default deployments.</description><pubDate>Fri, 12 Jun 2026 20:35:13 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Reporting from Vegas: Networking, AI, and good boys</title><link>https://blog.talosintelligence.com/reporting-from-vegas-networking-ai-and-good-boys</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cst-356</guid><description>This article is a first-person account from Cisco Live U.S. in Las Vegas covering conference observations, including the prevalence of AI infrastructure and security discussions among attendees. The author also highlights Cisco Talos' expansion of its Threat Hunting program, which uses AI-driven analysis combined with human expertise to identify advanced threats that evade traditional detection methods.</description><pubDate>Thu, 04 Jun 2026 18:00:59 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>LABScon25 Replay | Breach Alpha: Trading on Cyber Fallout</title><link>https://sentinelone.com/labs/labscon25-replay-breach-alpha-trading-on-cyber-fallout</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cst-605</guid><description>Researchers Mick Baccio and Scott Roberts presented analysis on whether public indicators of cybersecurity breaches can predict stock market reactions before formal disclosure. Using AI-assisted data collection and time-series modeling, they tested a trading hypothesis based on casino operator ransomware incidents and other material breaches, ultimately concluding that market responses to cyber events are too inconsistent to reliably inform trading strategies.</description><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2026 13:00:44 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Securing the Cloud Together: Wiz and Splunk team up to secure your cloud resources</title><link>https://wiz.io/blog/securing-the-cloud-together-with-wiz-and-splunk</link><guid isPermaLink="false">cst-1613</guid><description>Wiz and Splunk have integrated their platforms, allowing customers to use a Wiz app within Splunk to consume and analyze cloud security data through a dedicated dashboard.
