Thanks to TNW for having our CEO Rob N. Gurzeev Gurzeev on, to discuss how AI is quietly reshaping the attack surface. One line captures it: "we're defending more of something less safe, and we can't yet measure how much. That uncertainty is the risk." AI has organizations shipping more code and apps, faster, and through fewer review gates than ever. Exposure grows while confidence erodes. The old model, defending a list you assume is complete, has stopped working - if it ever did. The better bet? Drop the preconceptions and start thinking like an attacker: treat your environment as a clean slate and work it from the outside in. Read the full article for the rest 👇 https://lnkd.in/daJ8qDMm

🚨 wp2shell chains two WordPress core flaws (CVE-2026-63030 and CVE-2026-60137) into unauthenticated remote code execution against a default install, with no plugins and no login required. WordPress 6.9.0 through 6.9.4 and 7.0.0 through 7.0.1 carry the full chain, and 6.8.0 through 6.8.5 carry the SQL injection half. Patches are available.   Using the CyCognito platform, we have identified externally reachable WordPress assets that may be exposed to this issue. Our team is actively working with customers to reduce the risk across their environments.   Our latest blog breaks down: ✅ How the batch-route confusion and SQL injection chain works ✅ Which industries carry the heaviest exposure ✅ Patch versions and interim mitigations to apply now   Read the full analysis: https://lnkd.in/dyRnKaVa #CyCognito #EmergingThreat #WordPress #CVE202663030 #AttackSurfaceManagement  

⏰ Happening tomorrow - CyCognito co-founders Rob N. Gurzeev and Dima Potekhin will walk through the architecture behind continuous AI pentesting and the real-world results it's already delivering. Join them live.   You'll learn: ✅ Why most AI pentesting stops at 1% of your assets ✅ What Target Graph™ is and how it enables continuous, full-surface coverage ✅ Which real-world discoveries validate the approach Last chance to register: https://lnkd.in/deWR873N

Most security teams can't test everything. The attack surface is simply too large. That's why CyCognito has used AI for years to sequence tests, adapt validations, and focus effort where it matters most. Now we're taking the next step with AI Pentesting, applying AI-driven testing to uncover the exposures attackers are most likely to find first.

Attackers don't need a complete map of your attack surface. They only need one exposed asset. That's why continuous discovery matters. Keep scanning. Keep validating. Keep reducing blind spots. Book a demo to see how CyCognito continuously discovers and validates your external attack surface before attackers do. https://lnkd.in/dUbRHWEV

Finding issues is only part of the problem. Reducing exposure also means getting the right findings to the right teams with enough context to act quickly. CyCognito uses AI-assisted workflows to route findings, support remediation, and help verify that issues are actually resolved. See how CyCognito drives remediation: https://lnkd.in/dqDPF7WX

What does it take to build AI pentesting that runs continuously across your entire attack surface? Join CyCognito co-founders Rob N. Gurzeev and Dima Potekhin for an inside look at how it works: ✔️ Why most AI pentesting stops at 1% of your assets ✔️ What the agentic infrastructure looks like under the hood ✔️ How each run feeds findings back into Target Graph™ to expand coverage ✔️ The real-world findings that validated the approach 🗓️ Wednesday July 15th | 2pm ET.

Not every critical vulnerability is actually critical. Most security teams already have more findings than they know what to do with. The challenge isn't finding more issues. It's understanding which ones attackers can actually use. CyCognito helps teams: ✅ Validate what is actually exploitable ✅ Map real attack paths ✅ Focus on the issues attackers can actually reach ✅ Provide business context and tech stack Because fixing 10 important issues is usually better than chasing 1,000 theoretical ones.

The biggest security problems aren't always the ones on your dashboard. They're the ones nobody knows are there. AI is changing how attackers find those blind spots, how defenders validate exposure, and how security teams think about risk. In our latest episode of Security Strategist, our CEO Rob N. Gurzeev joins Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, to explore what every security leader should take away from today's external attack surface. Swipe through for five key lessons from the conversation. Read the full episode: https://lnkd.in/dYHNyW2M #CyberSecurity #AI #AttackSurfaceManagement #ExposureManagement

An asset inventory alone doesn’t tell you what actually matters. The real risk isn’t always the vulnerable asset itself. It’s what it connects to, and which attack paths those connections create. CyCognito uses AI-assisted analysis to understand asset function, exposure characteristics, and business context so teams can prioritize what creates real impact. Attackers look for stepping stones and hanging fruit. You need a tool that thinks the same way. See how CyCognito helps teams find the spots where risk accumulates.
