GuardBreaker: Derailing AI-assisted malware analysis with a code comment
LLM-based code scanners won’t help attackers build a nuclear weapon, but that refusal could work in their favor Malware developers have long adapted their code and tactics to the defenses and scrutiny that are likely to stand in their way. Using various evasion and anti-analysis methods, they routinely attempt to hinder code analysis or prevent their malware from revealing its true behavior while under inspection. Other tools – notably, EDR killers, documented extensively by

Cyber readiness for SMBs: Getting the basics right
AI is changing cybercrime, but SMB cyber readiness still largely depends on closing the familiar gaps AI is changing attackers’ toolkits. It can help criminals write better lures, scale social engineering and speed up reconnaissance, all while generally lowering the barrier to entry for less skilled attackers. Organizations are right to pay attention, especially because malicious use of AI makes old gaps a more urgent test of an organization’s cyber readiness. Meanwhile, the

Cybersecurity Hacks: The ESET Guide to Staying Safe.
The digital frontier has never been more treacherous. As cybercriminals deploy advanced artificial intelligence to automate attacks, individuals and organizations must move past basic security awareness. True digital resilience requires proactive tactics, active endpoint defense, and rapid recovery strategies. The digital world moves fast, and cybercriminals are moving even faster.

SMB cyber readiness: the road to resilience starts here
Your business may be small, but its attack surface is anything but. Readiness is the first step to resilience. SMB cybersecurity isn’t always given the attention it deserves, including by small businesses themselves. That’s concerning for various reasons, notably because the companies comprise 90% of the world’s businesses, 70% of its employees, and 50% of global GDP, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF). With fewer resources to spend on cybersecurity, funds must be al

SMB cyber-readiness: What makes or breaks it
A company that's expecting a cyberattack but hasn’t actively prepared for it risks making the hardest decisions at the worst possible moment “Fix the roof while the sun is shining.” – proverb Cybersecurity has a familiar way of saying the storm will come: “a breach is a matter of when, not if.” While the industry’s sternest maxim has probably never been more true, it sometimes feels as though it’s also lost some of its edge over the years. While everyone agrees that there cou

Cybercriminals: the 'auditors' you never hired
Every organisation gets audited. The question is who does the auditing. There’s one cognitive bias that we humans are prone to, and it lies at the centre of some of the challenges that cybersecurity professionals face every day. It’s known as the normalcy bias – what Dr. Lauren Braithwaite defines as “our tendency to underestimate the possibility of disaster and believe that life will continue as normal, even in the face of significant threats or crises.” It's why people hesi

As breakout time accelerates, prevention-first cybersecurity takes center stage
Threat actors are using AI to supercharge tried-and-tested TTPs. When attacks move this fast, cyber-defenders need to rethink their own strategy. We stand at an interesting point in the never-ending arms race between attackers and defenders. The former are using AI, automation and a range of techniques to sometimes devastating effect. In fact, one report claims that 80% of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) groups now offer AI or automation as features – and, of course, there’s a
