Which of these 10 steps is your team's priority for 2026? How do you feel about the FBI prioritizing efforts to encourage collaboration and coordination between government and private industry toward mutual threats? 🤔 Think attacks that target OT and critical infrastructure.

The "Hidden" Threat: FBI partners found that "training" apps (like Juice Shop) are being left exposed in Fortune 500 clouds.

Attackers don't need a zero-day when you leave the "lab" door wide open. 🦅

9) Reduce Privileges: Limit administrative rights to contain breaches.
10) Exercise your IR Plan: If your legal and executive teams haven't practiced a breach, you aren't ready for a real one.

6) Immutable Backups: If they aren't offline and unchangeable, they’ll be encrypted too. 7) Log Preservation: Attackers are deleting logs to hide their tracks. Protect your evidence.
8) Content Filtering: Email is still the #1 entry point. Hardened authentication is a must.

3) Retire EOL Tech: If it doesn’t get security updates, it’s an open door.
4) Asset Inventory: You can’t defend what you don’t know is internet-facing.
5) Third-Party Risk: You are only as secure as your least-protected vendor.

1) Adopting Phish-Resistant MFA: Simple push notifications aren't enough. Move to FIDO2/Passkeys.
2) Risk-Based Patching: Stop chasing every CVSS score. Prioritize vulnerabilities based on real-world exploitability.

How to stay secure: ✅ Use "Human-in-the-Loop" for any data/email sending. ✅ Treat AI output as untrusted recommendations. ✅ Use dedicated browser profiles for AI tools.

Is your team auditing the "Assistant" features in your workspace?

#CyberSecurity #AI #BlueEagleCyber

Why this matters: This isn't a traditional bug. It’s a structural limitation of LLMs.

When an AI can't distinguish between a user's command and data it reads from the web, Data becomes Code. We are resetting 30 years of browser security. 🦅

2️⃣ The Agentic Browser Gap 🌐

AI that browses for you ("Agents") often ignores isolation. Because the agent acts as a proxy for the user, it can:

🔹 Cross between tabs 🔹 Access local files 🔹 Reuse session cookies to exfiltrate data from Slack, GitHub, or Banking.

The result? The payload triggers Gemini to summarize your private meetings and exfiltrate them to a new event visible to the attacker.

The scary part: You see a normal response; the data theft happens silently "behind the scenes." 🕵️

1️⃣ The Gemini Calendar Trap 📅

Researchers found that a simple Google Calendar invite can be weaponized via indirect prompt injection.

How it works: 🔹 Attacker sends an invite with hidden instructions. 🔹 You ask Gemini: "What’s my schedule today?" 🔹 Gemini reads the "trap" in the invite.

Attackers go where defenses are weakest.
Right now, that’s often the phone.

What to do now:
• Treat QR codes like links — verify first
• Extend phishing detection to mobile
• Use phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2 / passkeys)
• Train users on quishing
• Monitor auth activity after QR scans

What’s happening 👇
• Malicious QR codes sent via email
• Scanned on mobile devices, bypassing email security
• Fake M365 / Okta / VPN pages steal creds
• Session tokens captured → MFA bypass
• Persistent access + internal pivoting

This isn’t a CVE.
It’s a human + mobile visibility gap.

Bottom line:
CPGs are a solid baseline — but outcomes require metrics, execution, and proof.

Security isn’t more controls.
It’s doing the right things first — and knowing they work.

Where it struggles
• “Measurable” still isn’t measurable enough
• Too few implementation playbooks
• OT realities need deeper treatment
• Third-party risk is easier to write than enforce

What works
• High-impact basics (MFA, backups, logging, segmentation)
• Prioritization over checkbox compliance
• Alignment with NIST CSF 2.0 (including governance)
• Useful for exec & funding conversations
