How Many Gaps Are Hiding in Your Identity System? It's not just about logins anymore. Today's attackers don't need to "hack" in—they can trick their way in. Deepfakes, impersonation scams, and AI-powered social engineering are helping them bypass traditional defenses and slip through unnoticed. Once inside, they can take over accounts, move laterally, and cause long-term damage—all without triggering alarms. But here's the catch: most organizations only focus on parts of the identity lifecycle—usually authentication. That leaves critical gaps wide open during enrollment, recovery, and even routine access. This upcoming webinar from Beyond Identity and Nametag breaks down what it really takes to protect your entire identity lifecycle —from the first time a user joins, to every login, to the moment they forget their credentials. 🔐 What's Covered: AI Threats Are Already Here – Learn how attackers are using deepfakes to impersonate real users Phishing-Resistant MFA – Go beyond...

Meta on Tuesday announced LlamaFirewall , an open-source framework designed to secure artificial intelligence (AI) systems against emerging cyber risks such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, and insecure code, among others. The framework , the company said, incorporates three guardrails, including PromptGuard 2, Agent Alignment Checks, and CodeShield. PromptGuard 2 is designed to detect direct jailbreak and prompt injection attempts in real-time, while Agent Alignment Checks is capable of inspecting agent reasoning for possible goal hijacking and indirect prompt injection scenarios. CodeShield refers to an online static analysis engine that seeks to prevent the generation of insecure or dangerous code by AI agents. "LlamaFirewall is built to serve as a flexible, real-time guardrail framework for securing LLM-powered applications," the company said in a GitHub description of the project. "Its architecture is modular, enabling security teams and developers to com...

The opportunities to use AI in workflow automation are many and varied, but one of the simplest ways to use AI to save time and enhance your organization's security posture is by building an automated SMS analysis service. Workflow automation platform Tines provides a good example of how to do it. The vendor recently released their first native AI features , and security teams have already started sharing the AI-enhanced workflows they've built using the platform.  Tines' library of pre-built workflows includes AI-enhanced pre-built workflows for normalizing alerts, creating cases, and determining which phishing emails require escalations.  Let's take a closer look at their SMS analysis workflow, which, like all of their pre-built workflows, is free to access and import, and can be used with a free Community Edition account.  Here, we'll share an overview of the workflow, and a step-by-step guide for getting it up and running. The problem - SMS scam messages targete...
