Strategic Threat Intelligence for Better Decision-Making
Recorded Future outlines strategic threat intelligence: non-technical, OSINT-driven analysis for board-level decisions and the skill sets needed to produce it.
Recorded Future's blog post explains that threat intelligence spans strategic, tactical, operational, and technical categories, focusing on strategic intelligence. It defines strategic intelligence as non-technical, risk-based analysis produced mainly from OSINT sources on demand for C-suite and board audiences. The piece stresses the sociopolitical and business expertise required and urges boards to ask trend-focused questions rather than demanding specific attack predictions.

AI Changed the Exposure Problem. Validation Needs to Change With It.
Picus Security argues vulnerability validation must combine exploitability, control validation, and agentic pentesting as AI accelerates disclosure volume.
Picus Security reports 35,853 CVEs were published in H1 2026, roughly 49% more than the prior year, while only 495 were catalogued as exploited in the wild and 116 were attacked on disclosure day. The vendor argues CVSS-based triage is inadequate and promotes combining exploitability validation, security control validation, and agentic pentesting into one program. The post also cites Anthropic data showing Mythos-class models surfaced 26,153 open-source vulnerability candidates with only 421 patched upstream, and promotes Picus's Validation Summit '26 on October 14-15.

The longitude problem: In the AI era, detection is won on facts, not guesses
Opinion piece argues defenders should beat AI-era attackers by carrying verified ground truth about approvers, domains, and vendors instead of relying on inference.
CSO Online contributor Alan LeFort, CEO of StrongestLayer, uses the historical longitude problem to argue that AI-era detection should rely on carried facts—authoritative records of payment approvers, owned domains, and legitimate vendors—rather than probabilistic inference that both attackers and defenders can now perform with comparable reasoning models. He illustrates with a CFO wire-fraud example defeated by checking the approver of record and the reply-to domain against ground truth. The piece stresses that ground truth decays and must be continuously maintained, like chronometers kept wound on every ship.

Major Cyber Threat Detection Vendors Shift from MITRE to UK Testing Program
SE Labs launched PIVOT, a six-month vendor detection testing program backed by CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks and Sophos, as major vendors exit MITRE evaluations.
SE Labs unveiled PIVOT on September 15, a six-month testing program in which its ethical hackers replicate nation-state and criminal attack chains against participating vendor products, with results due January 2027. Broadcom (Symantec/Carbon Black), CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks and Sophos have confirmed participation, and Gartner and Forrester analysts will verify the underlying evidence before publication. The launch follows declining participation in MITRE Engenuity ATT&CK Evaluations: Enterprise, which fell from 30 vendors in 2023 to 11 in 2025 after public withdrawals by Microsoft, SentinelOne and Palo Alto Networks.
