Beyond the Perimeter: Satellites, Fileless Malware & AI Abuse

In partnership with

Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T

The top companies target big markets. Like Nvidia growing ~200% in 2024 on AI’s $214B tailwind. That’s why the same VCs behind Uber and Venmo also backed Pacaso. Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech transforms a $1.3 trillion market. With $110M+ in gross profit to date, Pacaso just reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Space-Based Infrastructure: The Final (Vulnerable) Frontier

With more enterprises using satellite internet and IoT-connected systems, attackers are starting to probe space-linked infrastructure—from uplink spoofing to satellite control system hijacks.

Organizations should treat space-based dependencies like any other cloud dependency: audit vendors, isolate comms systems, and monitor latency anomalies that could indicate manipulation.

AI Content Filters Are Being Weaponized

Threat actors have found ways to exploit overly strict AI content filters—causing moderation systems to falsely flag internal tools, emails, or compliance messages as “unsafe,” effectively launching denial-of-service attacks on corporate workflows.

Use adaptive moderation with human-in-the-loop overrides, and don’t rely on black-box filters for critical communication paths.

Fileless Malware Attacks Reach Record Highs

Fileless malware now dominates advanced persistent threat (APT) campaigns. These attacks live in memory, abuse native OS tools (like PowerShell or WMI), and evade signature-based defenses entirely.

Harden endpoints, disable unused scripting environments, and use EDR tools that monitor process behavior and memory space—not just disk activity.

Security Debt in DevOps Is Slowing Product Teams

Startups and mid-size orgs are experiencing slowdowns due to years of technical and security debt—especially in IaC (Infrastructure as Code), hardcoded secrets, and CI/CD pipelines without permission boundaries.

Refactor pipelines to include security linting, automated secret scans, and role-based access enforcement for deployment workflows.

MFA Breakage from Device Synchronization Bugs

Users with synced browsers and mobile devices are experiencing MFA failures caused by token misalignment, duplicate session confusion, and authentication drift.

Make sure MFA systems support token redundancy, push failover, and secure time sync. Include MFA health checks as part of your login observability stack.

DDoS Extortion Is Back—With AI Amplification

Ransom-based DDoS attacks are resurging, now powered by AI-assisted botnet orchestration. Attackers can fine-tune traffic volume and protocol layers to overwhelm specific services while staying under detection thresholds.

Prepare DDoS defense plans in advance, use multi-tier filtering (ISP + CDN + WAF), and test your response time with simulated floods.
