Key Points Introduction Following our VIEW8 publication, an open source tool for analysis of Compiled JavaScript files (JSC), we are continuously tracking the usage of such files by threat actors. Among the threats we identified, a significant campaign caught our attention, which we call JSCEAL. The campaign, which impersonates common crypto trading apps, has been active since […]

AI agents are showing up in more parts of the customer journey, from product discovery to checkout. And fraudsters are also putting them to work, often with alarming success. In response, cyberfraud prevention leader Darwinium is launching two AI-powered features, Beagle and Copilot, that simulate adversarial behavior and help security teams stay ahead of threats. Announced just ahead of Black Hat USA 2025, these features are designed to give defenders their own AI capabilities. Beagle … More →

Just ahead of Black Hat USA 2025, Darwinium has announced the launched Beagle and Copilot, two new agentic AI features that simulate adversarial attacks, surface hidden vulnerabilities, and dynamically optimize fraud defenses. As fraudsters increasingly deploy AI agents to evade detection and manipulate digital systems, Darwinium gives defenders their own autonomous AI capabilities, built natively into its behavioral intelligence platform. “Consumers are using AI agents to shop faster. Fraudsters are using them to bypass defenses … More →

In a cloud-first world, identity is one of the most critical layers of security. While organizations are making progress using IdPs, major identity protection gaps remain.
The rise of Identity Providers (IdPs) like Okta, Microsoft Entra ID and Google Cloud Identity has helped organizations centralize and strengthen human identity authentication. Strategic practices like multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO) and policy enforcement are making IdPs a cornerstone of workforce access control.
According to the Tenable Cloud Security Risk Report 2025, 83% of organizations using Amazon Web Services (AWS) have configured at least one IdP — showing a move to greater maturity in identity practices. An IdP focuses on authentication and authorization – verifying identities and enforcing who can access what systems and under what conditions.
While the use of IdPs is a good step, organizations are still exposed to toxic identity risks that such tools don’t sufficiently cover. IdPs offer limited visibility into how identities behave within — and across — cloud environments, particularly when it comes to advanced identity threats like privilege escalation and lateral movement. Relying solely on an IdP creates critical blind spots. Here’s what you need to know — and how Tenable Cloud Security closes these identity security gaps.
The gaps your IdP doesn’t cover1. Excessive permissionsThe challenge: Developers often grant broad permissions to IAM roles or service accounts — such as s3:*, iam:*, ec2:*. These defaults are rarely audited or reduced later.
Why it’s dangerous: A compromise of one overly-permissioned identity can enable an attacker to gain excessive access — potentially escalating into full environmental takeover.
How Tenable Cloud Security can help:
The challenge: Service accounts and identity and access management (IAM) roles often persist long after their purpose ends. They remain active, unused — and unmonitored.
Why it’s dangerous: Attackers love dormant credentials. They’re rarely rotated, never expire and can silently unlock production environments.
How Tenable Cloud Security can help:
The challenge: IAM trust policies define who can assume what roles. But, too often, they're broadly written: "Allow any principal in this account."
Why it’s dangerous: These misconfigurations can enable privilege escalation, lateral movement or role hijacking — especially in cross-account scenarios.
How Tenable Cloud Security can help:
While IdPs play a vital role in access control, they only cover one part of your identity landscape. Tenable Cloud Security delivers deep, cloud-native identity security that complements — and goes far beyond — your IdP, including:
Continuous discovery and risk mapping:
Prioritized risk context
Least privilege with CIEM – and JIT access
IdPs are necessary — but not sufficient. Attackers are chaining identity misconfigurations with network exposure and unpatched CVEs to move laterally within an organization. Your IdP may be helping guard against initial access but a serious security battle is being fought deep inside your cloud environment — between workloads, data pipelines and service identities.
With Tenable Cloud Security and Tenable One you can see and secure the full identity picture and tie it all into your broader cloud exposure management strategy.

The Python Package Index (PyPI) has issued an urgent warning to developers about an ongoing phishing campaign that exploits domain spoofing techniques to steal user credentials. This sophisticated attack targets developers who have published packages on the official repository, leveraging their trust in the PyPI ecosystem to harvest login credentials through a carefully crafted fake […]
