Outlook and Implications

The cybersecurity community has the opportunity to serve as the voice of reason: the best response is proactive, disciplined preparation, not panic. While access to the publicly known, most capable frontier models is currently restricted to responsible actors, the availability of these technologies to a broader audience is inevitable. For defenders, this signals a surge in vulnerability management demands. The traditional window between a vulnerability’s disclosure and its active exploitation in

What EMEA teams get out of this launch

Secure company data by trusting the device, not just the sign-in 1Password Device Trust lets organisations restrict access based on the health of a user’s device. This way, compromised, unmanaged, or out-of-date endpoints don’t get a free pass to sensitive tools and data. Now, with EU data hosting, EMEA teams can adopt that control without compromising on data residency requirements. A smoother rollout that supports employees When employees get blocked and don’t understand why, they do what huma

Scenario 1: The shared document

In this test, Claude Sonnet 4 was asked to open a shared document from a colleague. It found an email with a “Q1 Project Timeline” link, clicked it, saw a Microsoft 365 login form, looked up the user’s real password in the vault, typed it in, and hit submit. When the page didn’t load, it tried again. Here, the model fell into the same trap that many people do in phishing attacks: it failed to examine the web address. The link pointed to acmecorp-sharepoint.com-docs.cloud, a domain designed to lo

ChocoShell: PowerShell infostealer

ChocoShell is the campaign’s Powershell-based infostealer, delivered and executed entirely in-memory. Its primary objective is the high-volume theft of browser session cookies, saved passwords, Microsoft 365 Single Sign-On (SSO) tokens, and Wi-Fi credentials from compromised systems. Where CornFlake provides the operator with a persistent, long-running foothold on the device, ChocoShell is designed to extract the most operationally valuable credentials, giving the operator access to victim cloud

Elastic Defend endpoint protection: vulnerable driver coverage and Windows on ARM

Fewer alerts reach the queue when more threats are stopped on the device, so prevention starts at the endpoint.

Full endpoint protection for Windows on ARM

Windows on ARM is now fully covered in Defend, which brings Surface and other ARM-based laptops into the same protection as the rest of your fleet. Teams can roll this feature out across every endpoint without paying per device to do so. A new endpoint troubleshooting skill also rounds out this capability, automatically flagging policy and performance issues so your team spends less time chasing them.

Windows on ARM: Elastic Defend coverage for Snapdragon and Copilot+ PCs

With the increased popularity of ARM processors, Snapdragon laptops, Copilot+ PCs, ARM workstations are more commonly showing up in enterprises’ fleets. If your endpoint protection doesn't cover them, they're unmonitored, and an unmonitored endpoint is a gap an attacker can use. That’s why Elastic Defend has now expanded to cover Windows on ARM. ARM workstations, Snapdragon laptops, and Copilot+ PCs can enroll under your existing policy with the same detection rules and telemetry as x64 endpoint

La doctrine Nadella : ne dépendre de personne

C’est là que se joue l’essentiel. Satya Nadella conseille ouvertement aux entreprises clientes de ne jamais s’enfermer chez un seul fournisseur d’IA et recommande la mise en place d’ « AI gateways » permettant de découpler les usages métiers des modèles sous-jacents. Une doctrine qui sert évidemment aussi les intérêts commerciaux de Microsoft qui se positionne comme l’orchestrateur de cette pluralité via Azure. Le chiffre est éloquent : la plateforme Azure AI héberge désormais plus de 11 000 mo

Azure maintient la dynamique la plus forte

Microsoft conserve la croissance cloud la plus élevée parmi les grands hyperscalers. Azure affiche une progression de 43 % sur un an tandis que l’ensemble de l’activité Microsoft Cloud atteint 59,3 milliards $ de chiffre d’affaires trimestriel, en hausse de 27 %. Le groupe attribue cette performance à la diffusion croissante de ses offres d’IA, notamment Azure AI et Microsoft 365 Copilot. Microsoft indique désormais compter plus de 30 millions d’utilisateurs payants de Microsoft 365 Copilot. Aut

Frontier models change the calculus for defenders

For years, defenders have relied on the friction built into the offensive cycle. Finding an exploitable vulnerability takes time. Weaponizing it takes more. Moving from initial access to a high-value target requires navigating an environment that defenders understand better than the attacker does, at least at first. Frontier AI models like GPT-5.4-Codex promise to vastly accelerate the process of uncovering and patching vulnerabilities. At the same time, adversaries continue to get more effectiv

Introduction

Attack path management has historically focused on identity systems like Active Directory and Entra ID. That focus made sense. These systems define authentication, authorization, and privilege at scale, and they remain central to how access is granted across an environment. But they are not the full picture. There are entire classes of systems that introduce attack paths that do not exist in the directory. Device management platforms are one of the most important examples. These systems are resp

Hybrid Attack Paths Across Systems

Perhaps the most important aspect of modeling Jamf is what happens when these capabilities intersect with other platforms. In real environments, attackers rarely operate within a single system. They move between identity providers, device management platforms, and other services as they progress toward their objective. This creates hybrid attack paths spanning multiple systems. We can then identify a path from a non-privileged Active Directory User to one of the jamf_Account nodes that had execu

A file rarely tells the entire story. The presentation may describe the strategy, while a Confluence page records the decision and Jira shows the work underway.
