News for today:
- [Zendata] Thinking about Mythos. Zendata examines the cybersecurity implications of the Claude Mythos Preview – including vulnerability discovery (the easy talk track), intelligent attack designs, and the collapse of the patch cycle, among others. An LLM can take [living off the land attacks] to a level we have never seen: scanning every executable present, identifying those that match the target’s security posture, and building a perfectly tailored attack chain in real time, never touching a tool flagged as malicious. The attacker’s own operational security becomes AI-assisted. Observe a user’s connection patterns for a few days and act only in the windows where anomalous activity will be buried in daily noise. Read the documented limitations of the EDR deployed on the target network and adapt exfiltration techniques accordingly. Produce behavior that looks like a slightly distracted user rather than an intrusion. Zendata
- [N-able] MCP server for N-able’s solutions. N-able released an MCP Server that allows IT and security teams to use their current generative AI assistants for querying the operational data in N-able’s endpoint management solutions. It also introduced N-zo, delivering in-product AI-based assistance within the endpoint management solutions from N-able. By embedding AI assistance directly into the tools technicians already use, N-zo helps streamline daily operations, reduce tool hopping, and accelerate time to resolution, complementing MCP powered automation with practical, in-product intelligence.
